Leonard Lopate's show today focuses on food. French and American cheeses will be tasted on-air, but the decked is stacked, with commercial French cheese vs. artisanal, raw milk American cheese.

Another segment of the show is about Indian food, with the news peg of a new book, Eating India, by culinary historian Chitrita Banerjee.

For a second there, I was having a horrible image of a naked Mr. Lopate with several carefully arrayed cheeses. "Mind the Stinking Bishop, Leonard!"
“And another thing. You don't have to "move on" either. Not until you're ready. People say, Oh, you should be grateful. They say, Oh, it's time for you to move on. I'm like, What are you, a cop with a nightstick? I'll move on when I'm done playing the blues on my harmonica, thank you very much.

Really, people will tell you all kinds of garbage. Don't believe it.

You don't have to move on until you're ready.”

Thanks for the alert, Lippy. It was good to listen to while doing work that didn't require much concentration. Come to think of it, neither did the show, but other than LL's sucking up to Ruth ("You're a poet, too!" blech), it was interesting. As was the Indian food segment. Thank goodness they were close together and I didn't have to listen to more yapping while waiting in between. (Can you tell I am not a fan of talk radio? ;) )

Tonight, there was a dessert of coconut, rhubarb, and black olive. Obvious in its execution how innovation and experiment, when introduced for their own sake, are annoying. --irnscrabblechf52, May 9, 2013
