Recipe for Chayote Squash Side Dish A favorite with Caribbean and Louisiana cooks, the mild flavor of the plump, pear-shaped mirliton squash makes it a natural for vegetable side dishes. 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, ground black pepper to taste, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 chayote squash cut into 1/2-inch strips, 1 clove garlic minced, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon white sugar

The kazoo - a useless insight.

For very important scientific reasons, this morning I woke up and found out that playing the kazoo isn’t actually as easy as it seems.

My first thought about it was “Aw, how talented” referring to you-know-who, but let’s delve into some details. I have collected my favorite curiosities down here for you:

You don’t just blow into the kazoo, neither you “hmmm” into it. You have to actually sing into it to make it work. Sounds like an effort to me.

The end you have to sing in is the flat one, not the pointy one.

Now, my favorite part. These are some of the syllables identified on Wikipedia to change notes on the kazoo: doo, too, who, rrrrr or brrr. “rrrrr or brrr”, understand?

Before Papa - but not as good as him - the kazoo was used by Frank Zappa, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and also Rammstein. Apparently, no pop singer had the same steel balls to use the kazoo in their songs. This makes it a very badass instrument, if you ask me.

In 2011, “At the Royal Albert Hall, 3.910 kazooists played Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries”. Just epic.

The kazoo is strictly related to the PARTY HORN - which is not an instrument - and the Eunuch flute (Mirlitone). And about the Eunuch flute, “the Creole composer, Edmond Dédé wrote Méphisto Masqué for grand orchestra and a fanfare of Mirlitone Instruments”. The devil is always around the corner here.

Papa played a kazoo with a square filter, instead of the more common round one. I hoped to find something interesting about it but honestly no, it is just that. The bravest of you will find a connection with Square Hammer, I just know it.

As a bonus, I’d like to remind you that Papa had a professional, tiny kazoo stand for his precious instrument.

Y'all gotta stop saying that the kids maps are easy 13ks because a lot of the time they're really not

Maybe the short length means they're easier to grind, takes less time to practice/play over and over, but short time also means smaller move count, which means you have to nearly full-perfect it to get a 13000+. This is a problem for slower songs and other super easy songs too like Tusa!!

Believe me I speak from experience...we do not speak of Dance Of The Mirlitons or Here Comes The Spy in this house

Another reverse trick-or-treater here! For you, a small music box that plays the Dance of the Mirlitons! When fully wound, a tiny ballerina figure rises from a compartment within to twirl elegantly!

I bought squash (native to central Mexico) known as Choko, Chayote or Mirliton and placed them in a dark corner of my kitchen counter. They sprouted within a few weeks! The next step is to plant them.

I answer the door dressed as music box ballerina. I do a series of perfect pirouettes, whistling La Danse des Mirlitons, and throwing multicoloured sweets at you on each go-round.

"Chayote was spooked as it was being cooked, with bursts of pain and heat, its life was being overlooked."

Sechium edule, also known as chayote, mirliton and choko, is an edible plant belonging to the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae.
