  1. Oh wait - now I see - I said they're good at home. I was wrong. Prescott looked as if he might've been on a bender the night before.
  2. I don't remember? (Have I ever said anything nice about America's team?) But considering the Cowboys are right at or near the top of teams I loathe in the NFL, today is a happy day.

    I think Elaine was replaced after one episode! Pictured here is Elaine Stritch, Pert Kelton (the original Alice), Jackie Gleason and Art Carney in his debut role as Ed Norton. https://eyesofageneration.com/remembering-elaine-stritch-at-the-link-is-a-running-bit-she-did-with-david/

    Supper

    Spanish "soupy" rice with chorizo and mushrooms. Plated (not as the NY Times prefers) and topped with seared scallops and shrimp. Something green, roasted with onions.

    I was thinking more The Iron Sheik.

    I didn't realize (until now) that Steranko is a bit to the right of...well, I'm not gonna name any names.

    At least it wasn't Clark Kent!
  9. As simple as they are, with as few ingredients as it takes to make them, they're a pain in the ass - prepare for a lot of cursing when you attempt. It's often the simplest stuff which I find the hardest to make consistently. Sadly, I;m pretty sure the Nixtamal in the market line is no more, so it's a struggle to find well-made commercial product locally.

    I was surprised to learn that the UWS location only really lasted like 6 - 7 years, before it moved to Broadway. Sure, tell your Les Paul story (though I think you told it on the old MFF)...

    Michael's voice is so nice. Last night, the inimitable Albert Lee. At the somewhat inimitable Iridium (these old "jazz" clubs are tight). Of course, his guitar playing is simply out of this world. I was surprised at how good his voice still is. His fingers are like twice as long as a regular humans.
  12. Do you need/want a practically brand new tortilla press?
  13. A. Especially if it will help on a down payment for something.
  14. I did notice the beverage section when just leafing through it - looks good!
  15. I just got this one...an eBay buy: Looking forward to checking it out.

    Yeah, I thought it was a pretty big story when it happened.

    Eater

    While I'm sure you're correct, I did once ask a once well-known restaurant critic (no longer with us) who wrote the headlines/titles for her pieces. The answer was simply: "I do." But let's move on to the article about Alison Roman's country "store," In which Callie Hitchcock writes: Actually, no - Zoe is a brand, imported from Spain.

    "A Museum Cafe That Is as Much a Destination as the Art" Let's not get carried away with the headline here, Robert.

    As Significant Eater notes, "he's so cute, and has great hair!" I'll note he's got an earnestness along with a bit of a punk ethos - he does Bowie well. As if it needs to be mentioned, the Bowie catalog is very, very impressive. David Bowie (1967) David Bowie[f] (1969) The Man Who Sold the World (1970) Hunky Dory (1971) The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972) Aladdin Sane (1973) Pin Ups (1973) Diamond Dogs (1974) Young Americans (1975) Station to Station (1976) Low (1977) "Heroes" (1977) Lodger (1979) Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) (1980) Let's Dance (1983) Tonight (1984) Never Let Me Down (1987) Black Tie White Noise (1993) The Buddha of Suburbia (1993) Outside (1995) Earthling (1997) Hours (1999) Heathen (2002) Reality (2003) The Next Day (2013) Blackstar (2016)

    Saw a fun show this past weekend - the Bowie Birthday celebration - at City Winery. The Bowie Birthday Bash Hosted By Rhett Miller And Robert Burke Warren With Michael Cerveris Michael played Hedwig in the stage production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. And many other roles throughout his illustrious career. Something about singing a Bowie song really brings out the greatness in these people.
  21. And with the totality of the original group.
  22. If aches and pains were truly life-threatening, I'd probably be dead like 30 years.

    Supper

    Favorite winter salad of bitter greens, with a few additions. Mustard heavy vinaigrette. Roasted chicken parts from a cut up whole Snowdance Farm bird ( a new favorite). Breast removed 15 - 20 minutes prior.
  24. I'm pretty certain that there are fires every year.
