Connie, nope. Just mixed speculation from the various TV experts, who are clearly using the Magic 8 Ball to determine things.
My 20+ year streak of loving cult TV and living in constant fear of cancellation remains unbroken. Go Team Me. Why can't I love normal shows?
Oh, that reminds me -- my new neighborhood is heavily West Indian (I don't know what specific island, if any), and I need recs on what I should be keeping an eye out for, grocerywise. What Jamacian delicacies have I been missing out on all these years?
Tamarind balls.
It sounded like it was meat-heavy to me, JZ. Is there much you can eat?
There's a ton of vegetarian options in most Ethiopian places.
I've never tried Ethiopian food, but it sounds like it might be good--I've just recently discovered how yummy Indian food is, so I think I'd like to try Ethiopian.
Thanks for all the good wishes, everyone!
Allyson, I've been thinking that, if your publicist doesn't want to do this, I will--when your book comes out, I'll buy an extra copy and send it to Nick Digilio at WGN radio, who is a big pop culture and genre TV/movie geek. He's interviewed Tim on air at least once that I know of, so I know he'd really get into your book!
I stopped at Walgreen's to buy a drink (hey, look, they have a Cherry Coke Zero version), and Reese's peanut butter eggs were on sale. So I obviously had to buy a couple.
The guy at the register pointed out some new Reese's candy crunchy bar thing up front and asked if I wanted to try it. I had to explain to him that Reese's peanut butter eggs were the candy of Easter dating from my childhood, and that I was sticking to them.
Yeah, Walgreens has been having their cashiers upselling for the past few months. But, I agree with you--Reese's easter eggs are the One True Easter Candy (although I do love the Cadbury mini-eggs that are pure milk chocolate with the hard candy shell--yummmm).
The One True Easter Candy = Peeps
But you have to actually want to eat Easter candy. I don't want to eat Peeps. I don't eat fluorescent food. Except for Cheetos.
Jessica, I'd give some of the fish dishes a try--ackee and saltfish, rundown mackerel, escoveitched fish. The sort of sides you get with those breakfasts foods would be fried plaintain (which I'm sure you've tried), boiled plaintain (nice, but not as nice), boiled green bananas (delicious when mashed with butter right there on your plate), boiled (nasty) or roasted (delicious) breadfruit, fried bammy (cassava cakes), festival (like johnnycakes, I've been told, but sweeter), yams (not what you call yam in America), fried dumplings...the list continues and continues
