I decided a while back that Sopranos cast members don't count as actual celebrity sightings because there are just too damn many of them. (Though I'd probably make an exception for running into James Gandolfini or Edie Falco.)
My standard lazy pasta sauce is generally just olive oil+garlic+parsley, top w/ whatever hard Italian cheese is in the fridge.
Right now I'm having a very Buffista-controversial lunch - Cincinnati-style chili. Served over spaghetti as is right and proper, and containing massive amounts of cilantro.
In baby news, E and I took an infant/child CPR class yesterday and have since decided that D will be spending the remainder of his childhood wrapped in bubble wrap and kept away from EVERYTHING, as apparently there is nothing in the entire world that is not potentially deadly to little babies. Today he is being exceptionally cute and doing a lot of vocalizing. He's got human speech patterns down pat and will cheerfully babble at you if you ask him a question. Next stop: consonants!
The weather here is gorgeous and so as soon as he's up from his nap I think we'll go out in the backyard and play.
The only reason I know Goldie Hawn is half-Jewish is because Adam Sandler put it in a song, so I'm going to say no.

Right?? My boss was like "Her name is GOLDIE!" To which I responded, "@@," and went back to work.
Is Cincinnati chili controversial?
I'm pre-migraine, Kat, and about to take the relevant meds before going out to teach two hours of krav by myself.
Hopefully this won't translate into another day of sulking behind drawn curtains.
Maybe Hec and other fans of '60s pop might like this....
Belgian advertising illustrator Guy Peellaert was one of the first cartoonists to embrace Pop Art and incorporate Andy Warhol's appropriation of mass market iconography into his work. His first comic, Les aventures de Jodelle, (Jodelle's likeness modelled after yé-yé chanteuse Sylvie Vartan) appeared in 1966, swiftly followed by 'Pravda la Survireuse' (her likeness based on Françoise Hardy) for the magazine 'Hara-Kiri' in 1967.

Somewhat NSFW, more so if you click on the comics to see larger versions....
Also, this is the guy who did David Bowie's 'Diamond Dogs' LP cover. Huh.
I know there is a sterotypically nasally, smart, urban jewish persona seen in media, like Sandler or Adam Goldberg or maybe Sarah Silverman, but all jews aren't like that and that persona itself doesn't mean someone's a jew--c.f. Penny Marshall.
Is Cincinnati chili controversial?
ALL chili is controversial, but Cincinnati-style seems to incur more purist wrath than other varieties.

Cool! Peellaert did the Rock Dreams book in the seventies, IIRC.
My condolences about your grandfather, Anne.
