The final product! It was awesome - Jesse made the best brussel sprouts I’ve ever had, and the fish was perfectly cooked. So good!!!!

Making pan fried Long Island sole with butter, lemon, and dill. For veggies we’ve got roast spaghetti squash & brussel sprouts. Photos forthcoming.
1 day agoIn 1902, Father built a house at the crest of the Broadview Avenue hill in New Rochelle, New York. And it seemed, for some years thereafter, that all of the family’s days would be warm and fair.
While not perfect (but still very good), the new Ragtime (not shown here) on Broadway is a far better alternative to Bye, Bye, Birdie.

Say what you will about the fact that she’s a dead-ringer for Rupert Everett in drag - gurl can sang!

Imagine Los Angeles without cars. A town where people ride their bikes and walk in the streets and the smells of tacos and veggie burgers drift through the air instead of exhaust.
Sound like a pipe dream? Not if a group called cicLAvia is successful. A volunteer coalition of bicycle advocates, transportation experts, artists and academics, cicLAvia wants to make Sundays in Los Angeles virtually car-free — transforming the city’s streets into giant bike lanes and creating a public space that connects every neighborhood in the city.
Aren’t Sundays in downtown Los Angeles pretty much car-free anyway? It’s like a ghost town without anyone going to their 9 - 5.
1 day agotoday is day one
of quitting soda.
i would say that 98% of what i drink during the week is water. on my 4th glass this a.m. LOL
soda of choice: Coke Zero
May I suggest sparkling water, if you’re into that. Totally kicked my soda habit (but now am helplessly addicted to seltzer - but at least it doesn’t have all the sugar and additives).
1 day agoForm Spring Me Hard!
So here are a few holdovers from yesterday’s Form Springery:
How long have you lived in New York?
In about 5 days, I will have been in NYC for 2 years. I lived in LA for 2 before that, and Chicago for 4 before that (at university). I’ve loved each place I lived, in a very different way (only I love Chicago a little less than the other two - being a Cali-boy, I just can’t do the winters).
what are your hobbies? like-what do you do for you? (submitted by warren - thanks, buddy!)
Cooking. Hands-down my favorite thing to do is turn on the record player (no, I’m not that old, I just love the sound of vinyl and can buy awesome old treasures for mere dollars), pour a glass of wine, and cook something up. It’s what relaxes me after a stressful day of work. Other major hobby would be eating, which I separate from cooking - I love finding new and innovative restaurants, whether it’s a hole in the wall, or a new 3-star Micheline. I would say “foodie,” but that just sounds so trite.
I also love to travel and love to learn about language(s) - those things are often related, but not necessarily.
When in god’s name are you going to decide to make millions off of marketing Puck as a Sanrio-like character?
Denny, you wanna be his agent? (Dennis thinks Puck - pictured below with Nobel Peace Prize - is rife for Sanrio-esque cartoon and line of silly animal toy products…he may be on to something):
Large Hadron Collider scuttled by birdy baguette-bomber
At least they caught it on the fly
I’m now starting to believe that maybe the universe it thwarting the success of this thing.
