  1. My wife, who has years in the movie biz, has explained to me that photographs add 50lbs (& subtract hair). Very reassuring. We’re not sure about the properties of mirrors.

    Mina? The funnier part of that was that she was smart enough to basically rent her reputation by becoming the chef at a place for a couple of weeks, draw the followers, then be "on vacation" or "off today" from that point on, with folks still coming until it became clear that she was not part of the place. My favorite was the place on 6th St where her "cousin" swore it was her kitchen but she was already at another place in Jackson Hts. (where she did cook for a year or so). I heard she moved back to India a number of years ago.
  3. That was great! "this is just afternoon tea... is he gonna have an entire water buffalo for dinner"? 😂
  4. Not that I know of. It was just a listing of my most valuable possessions.
  5. Thinking the exact same thing, we made a list of all the things we own that our inheritors might not realize are worth paying attention to when figuring out how to best cash in and spend our lifetime accumulation of "stuff". Rare or signed books, vinyl, art, Navajo weavings and of course my 1st edition copy of Leff's "The Eclectic Gourmet Guide to Greater NYC" (should've had him sign it - or at least put his paw print). They're just around, alongside stuff that will be worth nothing once our memories of them aren't attached.

    it'll make your head spin.

    frankly, I don't give a hoot.
  8. I’m sure that they would have let you keep the shells if you asked. A couple of bucks each at your next yard sale would’ve offset that.
  9. well, if I ever need my hair done.
  10. Thanks... much appreciated. Bastible looks great & I'll start looking at the others & your blog. I forgot that you spent a bit of time there. Any idea where I can get a good butter chicken? 😋

    Turns out you were incorrect.
  12. It seems that we’re going to need lunch/dinner recommendations in Dublin during October. We’re going to be traveling around Ireland/N.Ireland for 2+ weeks but will be in Dublin for 2 nights in the beginning of the trip, then at least 2 more nights at the end. Since we no longer have access to the old MF postings, I cant get to the many posts Blondie made years ago. Oh, well. As you all know, we mostly like smaller, friendly places where the food is all about good ingredients, solid cooking & non fussy presentation, but we're open to any place that is remembered fondly by you all. Additionally, it seems we may need recommendations for a dinner in Limerick, one in Cork and maybe 2 in Belfast as well. Thanks in advance.
  13. 2 years and out in Washington, after losing in the finals? I cant imagine that UW is anything but pissed off.
  14. No, but he ordered the pig. Cant figure out an end around to link to the "Year I Ate NY" piece but he also hit Keen's. Gotta like him for that at least.
  15. I know too many rabid Michigan alumni to not be an a-hole and always root against them. And I love Saban's coaching/hiring abilities. But, even though he made "adjustments" in the 2nd half, it seemed that way too much of their success was related to Milroe running. And with that Offensive Line, I kept wincing and hoping he'll live long enough to make it to the NFL. Not a good game for anyone. At least I get a chance to root against Michigan again next week.
