Who likes bats? Well, apparently enough people have decided bats are OK that artists are finally adding them to their jewelry line. Like these fabulous silver bat earrings by The Magic Zoo. Although small, their level of detail rivals the real thing. The artist has even put in the “finger” bones on the wings. It is a recognizable horseshoe bat, and I for one was thrilled to find such a beautifully rendered piece of jewelry online. Continue reading »

Wheat berries are one of these foods that people used to cook with all the time, but that have since faded into history. And to be honest, it’s a shame since they are delicious and have a lot of nutrients in them.  They are not the easiest grain to cook which is probably why they have been replaced with rice and quick cooking oats in our society. This crockpot cooked wheat berries recipe makes the entire cooking process easy. Just cook up a batch, keep the end result in the fridge and enjoy it in a variety of recipes all week long.

Here at Slack Rock we must inevitably turn towards the national presidential campaign now that Senator Clinton has stepped out of the Democratic candidate race paving the way for Senator Obama to turn his sights to the larger campaign.

One of the issues that is getting a lot of scrutiny is whether Obama’s organization can take on the presumably more organized machine of the republican party.

In short, can Obama rock the nation?

Well his grass roots campaign has gotten him far.  Moreover despite some division that may still remain due Hilary’s popularity, most Democrats would vote for anyone but a Republican candidate at this juncture.

The flip side is McCain’s tenacity, fight and heroic war record.  And he may just swing the independent vote which could be massive.

Could this be a fight between the man who professes belief in this nation and the man who fought for it?  Interesting times are ahead for sure
