This is from the NYT article about the hostages taken for 5+ years by FARC, the Colombian guerilla group:

Ms. Betancourt wept and smiled as she recounted a chain of events that seemed scripted for film, complete with Colombian agents infiltrating guerrilla camps and borrowing Israeli tracking technology to zero in on their target, before rescuing 15 hostages in all.

The helicopters landed in the jungle at dawn, carrying personnel whom she presumed were part of a mission to transport the hostages to another location, for continued detention, according to Colombian press reports.

The captives were handcuffed and “humiliated,” then put on the helicopters accompanied by two guerrillas who were guarding them, Ms. Betancourt explained.

While boarding, Ms. Betancourt looked at the helicopter crew members, who were wearing T-shirts emblazoned with images of Che Guevara. “I thought, this is FARC,” she said on television, referring to the rebel group that held her. But once the doors of the helicopter closed, Ms. Betancourt said, it was clear something unusual was happening.

Unbeknownst to the hostages, or the two guerrillas who also got on board, the crew members were Colombian commandos impersonating FARC operatives. When the doors closed, the guerillas were quickly overpowered by the crew and placed in handcuffs.

“Suddenly I saw the commander who, during four years, had been at the head of our team, who so many times was so cruel and humiliated me, and I saw him on the floor naked with bound eyes.”

At that point the hostages knew their long nightmare was over.

“The chief of operations said, ‘We are the national army and you are all free,’ and the helicopter almost fell because we started jumping, we screamed, we cried, we hugged. We couldn’t believe it.”

Oh, look at that...

If you were going to a 4th of July BBQ in Connecticut, would you rather eat:
Berry Streusel Pie or S’more Pie?

My submission to last weeks Movie Night. The theme was pet peeves in the form of a musical.
Best ever. Holy shit. Really, Jim does ask us to go wait in line for an hour and get brunch at trendy Silverlake breakfast nooks every single weekend, and we’re always busy or lazy. After this video, it’s gonna be real hard to say no the next time he asks, love it.
OH MY F*ING GOD. This is outstanding.

All my favorite old haunts from Silver Lake - loved it!

“

One night Ms. Haddad ran out of propane and improvised — she cooked dinner on a portable camping grill. And the evening before her most elaborate party — a “bark mitzvah” for her dog, Kelbi, in 2003 — was the night of the blackout.

It went off without a hitch. Ms. Haddad had a carnival-style fortuneteller to entertain 150 guests and served snow cones spiked with rum and vodka. Each guest got a gift bag, including a purple suede yarmulke, baseball hat and a magnet with a picture of Kelbi seated on a motorcycle.

“Nothing,” she said, “not even the electric company, could stop a party.”

My man at the Times, Mark Bittman, is up to his old 101 tricks again. This time, he offers 101 20-minute recipes for make-ahead foods to bring on your summer picnics. The list is helpfully subdivided:
Yummy twists on deli-style salads
Raw Veggies
Bean, Rice & Grain Salads
Potato Salads & Egg Salads
Cooked Veggies
Fruit
Seafood
Meat & Poultry
Sandwiches
Cold Noodles
Desserts
What are your tried-and-true picnic recipes?
One of my favorite picnic foods is a steak salad. Steak keeps well; just add the dressing and the steak immediately before serving so the greens and veggies don’t get too greasy and wilted. Here’s a recipe for “Solstice Steak Salad” that I came up with a couple weekends ago. I grilled the steak and corn, but you could do it under a broiler before you leave for your afternoon in sun.
Now, my hungry fffffoodies, when are we meeting in Prospect Park?? (Ok, fine, I’ll settle for Central, if I must.)

Steak salad looks delicious! I’m quite the fan of a mayo-less potato salad - try using champagne or white wine vinegar, some tarragon and mustard. Yummy. LET’S DINE IN THE PARK!

Yeah, cupcakes won’t rise up against us in an apocalyptic battle like robots will. Though a pastry apocalypse would be delicious…
