I'm trying to decide if I should try this recipe from Sothernfood.com. Does beef, apples, onions, curry powder, cinnomon and cloves and lemon juice sound like a good combo or just odd?
It sounds pretty good to me, but then it's a lot like my roast recipe minus the lemon juice (which I have used with lamb and Middle Eastern spices to good effect).
Mom cracked me up by picking Dixie Cafe for her dinner out tonight and then griping about it having the same old food it always does. Yes, Mrs. Lasagna Is Exotic Foreign Cuisine, the place known for specializing in down-home Southern cooking has a pretty familiar repertoire. Which is why you've been eating there since it opened.
I had a nice talk with my mom on the phone. It will probably be another month before I get to see her, but since everything is up in the air as to what's going to happen next month, I'd better not count on anything.
Weird. Just watched a taped "American Masters" on Aretha Franklin which left me feeling quite coldly about the lady. In no doubt about her extreme talent, but put off about the woman. And from living in Detroit I already had a hint of the crazy.
I'm remembering her distancing herself from George Michael--was that about his homosexuality or his legal troubles?
So I'm reading up ahead of time on Marvin Gaye. Now, I already know he was an addict and a woman-beater, but shit. What an unhealthy prick.
At least the Zora Neale Hurston one was about a woman you'd actually want to spend time with.
I'm excited to see Jesse Martin play Gaye in a movie, though.
(Of course, I've already seen him play gay in a movie...)
Didja know Marvin's last name
was
Gay,
but he added the "e" because his dad's crossdressing already made him over-sensitive?
I think Jesse Martin will do a very pretty job. But I wonder if they'll go as dark as my quick googling indicates. Hell, I wonder if they'll go as far as his own crossdressing...
Anybody watching Brothers and Sisters? Did anything significant happen in the last few minutes, after
Kevin told Sarah what he remembered about the picture
? DC's ABC station lost signal right as
Kevin was trying to remember the woman's name
.
Hil, yes. Rebecca and Justin met up and she confessed that she didn't want to start from the beginning and that he was always the person she wanted to talk to about things. then they kissed.
Checking the Buffista map, I finally realized that Tamara was in LA. How did I not know this? Clearly I am oblivious.
