    Monsieur Spade with Clive Owen on AMC.  The first episode of six is extremely convoluted revolving around Sam Spade of "The Maltese Falcon" fame 20 years later arriving in the south of France with a young girl in tow.  The tranquil countryside and the pace of the show contrast with talk of Nazis, blackmail, Algeria and various killings presumably the work of some very violent man.  Spade seems able to consume large volumes of liquor while halfway trying to stop smoking, having been given an ironic lecture from his doctor about the dangers of cigarettes.  Thus far, his personal vices appear the least of his worries.

    Thanks for this. I'd forgotten to mark my calendar. I'll give it a try, but suspect if it is convoluted that the husband with dementia will not be able to follow it and will get upset by it. Might be something I'll have to watch at another time.

    How are you all roasting the cabbage: as a whole head or in quarters (or otherwise)? I’ve seen various versions on the internets. Also “slow” roasted? Every search with that seems to return recipes calling for high heat. As I eat a lot of (braised) cabbage, I’m quite looking forward to trying this.

    I'm a brown food person. I cut into chunks, toss with oil and seasonings, roast at 425 until it looks right, then switch the oven to air fry to brown it.

    Chakalaka is a South African bean and vegetable dish that's usually served as a braai side. N made it yesterday with RG Bayo Gordo beans as a side to roast chicken with lemon and herbs.  Some bugs got into the cornmeal we usually use for pap (even though it was in Tupperware), so Bob's Red Mill Polenta had to substitute.

    That sounds delicious. I could see it made with black-eyed peas, too. Might give it a try!

    Anaheim

    Anaheim, schmanaheim. You can get to so many places from there. You're just a few miles from Artesia AKA Little India, which has many delightful small Indian shops and restaurants. I've been gone for so many years now that I have no idea what is new and wonderful in the area, but you're so near Long Beach which probably still has many great places and for another taste of local, go the other direction down to Santa Ana and find one of the many small family-owned Mexican restaurants.

     

    If you are indeed stuck in Anaheim, what Hollywood said--try to get into Club 33, as it is an experience like none other.

    We've already gone thru a box or so & have stocked up on them for continued pleasure.

    So, given Sneak's comment about intentional non-reproducing -- of the most recognizable posters here on MF, anyone ever take a look at the % who didn't/don't have offspring?  I'd say its pretty far over the average, no?

    Count me amongst the intentional non-reproducers.

    I adored The Avengers!

    We started watching Night Sky on Prime. I think it is great, but Don seems upset by it, understandably since it hits a bit too close to home for him with his dementia and advanced age.
