    I just saw the MC5 will be recipients of a musical excellence award at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.

    Well, the drummer is still alive. Maybe Dennis Thompson will get to perform a drum solo.

    Maybe Jackson Smith (Fred and Patti's son) will play guitar...he's pretty good.

    A few days ago, I received an email from The Rice Factory, letting me know that they had restocked many of their rices,with a shipment of the 2023 rice harvest; so I jumped. Bought 10 lbs. of rice, half of which is this:

    Akita Akitakomachi Japan Organic -無農薬 秋田 あきたこまち- 2023 Crop

    Cooked a couple of cups of it last night - and it's so good!

    Japanese scallops over Akitakomachi organic white rice, with a white wine, butter, lemon and pan jus sauce.

    “You’re no Dylan Thomas/I’m no Patti Smith..”

    True.

    Now listening to “Horses.”

    Patti was quite pleased to be mentioned in her song.

    Thomas, I’m not so sure.

    I've only spent time in Greensboro, as most of what's left of my family is there. Decent BBQ a couple times.

    And this...

    When we head down for Thanksgiving this year, Richmond, VA will be our stopping point for 2 nights.

    Actually, no. Steam can be as hot as you want (or don't want).

    Only if you do things to it after it turns to steam though, right? Like, under pressure.

    Years ago I was playing Scrabble with some friends and whatever trumped-up dictionary they were using as an umpire didn't have "nonet".

    I mean like what the fuck?

    Didn't you have the official Scrabble dictionary?! (Which I can't find right now, but I know it's somewhere).

    Final day in San Francisco, and we hadn't yet hit our favorite breakfast place (airbnb makes breakfast out unnecessary). But up the hill we went; Potrero Hill, that is. To plow.  Where one of these years I'm just gonna end up rolling down the hill and into the bay.

    These guys are great...

    Everything made to order. If you order a fruit salad, the fruit is cut à la minute.  Some of the egg dishes are made with the eggs already whisked up in that cambro, but otherwise, it's all to order. Well sated after that breakfast, and with decent coffee.

    Our final dinner was another classic we wanted to get to:

    Our usual cocktails at the bar (in this case, a beautiful copper bar, standing only at dinner).

    This is my half of the Caesar, as big as most Caesar salads that are not split in two. Also, better than most Caesar salads, which is even more important.

    A classic Zuni app:

    Piccolo fritto,  with beautifully fried vegetables.

    I didn't get a picture of Sig Eater's main, which I'm pretty sure was the gnocchi. I didn't get a taste, either!

    My rabbit loin, stuffed with prosciutto, sage and fried shallots was spectacular. The potatoes were butter. And the carrots tasted like...carrots!  

    We sure do like this style of food. Nothing too fancy, just good ingredients handled well.

    If anyone plays Spelling Bee, milt is not an accepted word today.

    One of the first words I tried!  They really have a problem with many food terms.

    Roast chicken like Marcella says (with a lemon or two inside).  This chicken was pre-salted and rested for 48 hours prior to roasting - makes a big difference.
