The Pink Glove Dance
Category: art
The Pink Glove dance was choreographed in St. Vincent Medical Centre, Portland, Oregon for the Medline glove division as a fundraiser for cancer awareness.

I love the sheer energy of everyone in the dance.


As a bonus for promoting their pink gloves, when this video gathers one million hits, apparently the glove company will be making a contribution to the St. Vincent hospital, as well as offering free mammograms for the community around the hospital.

Its good to hear about companies finding creative ways of using social media for donating to healthcare. A month back it was the #beatcancer experiment on Twitter - for every tweet, 1c was donated to 3 cancer research/care institutions. It didn't amount to much in the end (~$6K) but it was a nice gesture and good way to get people involved.

Question for e:JBeatty: Pandan
Category: grocery
(e:JBeatty), have you seen Pandan at any store in Buffalo city?

From this

I really want to make Pandan-flavoured milk but I don't know where to find it... Any ideas?



PS: Pandan smells like a rustic wonderful variant of natural vanilla. Vanilla essence just doesn't reach the subtlety that is Pandan.

Pandan milk actually tastes like vanilla flavoured soymilk. Since I decided that my unhealthy obsession with soymilk (e:tinypliny,50430) needs to be killed mercilessly, I want to make skim milk taste as fabulous, if not better and Pandan is the only way to go...

I have never seen fresh pandan leaves anywhere. I bought some canned pandan juice stuff once to flavor a cake that didn't turn out :::link::: I have never specifically looked for the leaves but I would check a chau or the cambodian market on niagara st, that was where I found the canned stuff. They have lots of different fresh and frozen green things at a chau. Best thing to do if you are looking for something specific is to find the vietnamese name for it and ask them. :::link::: Good luck I wonder what pandan milk tastes like

Wegmans on Prospect Avenue?

Really? Is there a Wegmans on Prospect Avenue as Google Maps seems to think?

Why have I never seen it? This is the parking lot at the back of the Tops Building. Maybe Weggies has a storage unit there? Does anyone know?

Back in Baroque.
Category: art
In love with the costumes, the dances and the music! :)

these were fabulous to watch and listen to. My ears love classical music and as much as I don't care to watch people dance, the period pieces of dress and dance style was way too much fun to not love. Great find!
