    Had that pocket book porgy for two last Saturday. Fantastic! This place is a treat! Want to try meatloaf for the 1%

    I pre-ordered the two cd set of unreleased Basement Tapes (there's a 6 cd set out of my price range). And I really enjoyed this year's Another Self Portrait. ASP has some really fine voice. Belle Isle. When I Paint My Masterpiece. Spanish is the Loving Tongue. Pretty Saro. Sing Tattle O Day! And I love the raspiness of his voice on New Morning. His voice has been pretty much shot since We Are the World.

    A picture of Lloyd Schumner, board certified astrologer and retired machinist on The Onion, with a handle like an improbable rap star a la MC Hammer. Originally My Confusing Horoscope on eGullet.

    Has a new name: Filippo's Italian Specialties (for owner Filippo Leo). Same owner, same sandwiches and grocery store.

    The very phrase "right to be forgotten" sounds like the point of view of the news media (censorship!) rather than the private citizen's right to have their reputation protected against lies without having to go to court. For years if you searched on my friend's name in Google the first thing that came up was a vicious post on a message board that he was an unfair trader. Should he have had to go to court to protect his reputation from such a lie? In my own case a search on my name came up first with a mean, snarky comment about something incorrect I posted on a message board. I haven't seen it in a long time, but THAT's the kind of thing the law is intended to address, not the press's freedom of speech.

    Well, not at the moment but a bit later today: ball team for thrilling season! We'll get 'em next year!

    Any chance the chef will still be there in late December? My wife and I have been celebrating our anniversary there for the past few years and I hope we can do so again this year.

    Weekday lunch quality has not diminished, and I went just a couple of weeks ago.There WAS no weekday lunch buffet then. Must be Sunday brunch.
  10. MC Horoscope
    Made our first tomato and eggplant sauce Sunday! Such a small batch, hope I correctly divided the recipe by 4! Cucumbers have given up the ghost. They were eaten back early in the season by deer. The plants bounced back but they never did produce as they should. Strange season for our garden. More strangeness to come when it cools off again in the near future (next week?)

    If you are in this area in crawfish season try Yellow Bowl in Jeanerette! Tried it in mid-June for my first time and had the best crawfish bisque I have had in a long time! Really dark stew, well done crawfish heads. And their fried crawfish are better than most places too. I thought fried crawfish were just about the same anywhere you go but I was wrong. Theirs are well seasoned and the fry is much darker. Note: if you are driving from New Orleans to SW Louisiana try U.S. 90. It's a much more leisurely pace than frantic I-10 with its 18 wheelers whizzing by you (bayou?) You pass through a few towns with red lights, but you make up the time not having to cross congested Baton Rouge!

    We had wonderful Damariscotta oysters at Fore Street in Portland a few years ago! Some of the best I have ever had.

    That chicken looks terrific!

    "D.L. Menard's 'Back Door' Makes Rolling Stone List" (Of Top 100 Country Songs)" by Herman Fuselier on theadvertiser.com And here is the 1962 Cajun hit by Badeaux and the Louisiana Aces!

    Kabob and Karahi in Cloverly! And the spices they use make it the best smelling place.
  16. MC Horoscope
    Pop in at Dominic's next time you're around. New owners. Bigger menu. Still crowded.

    Sign on their door says Closed for Remodeling. I just saw the sign while driving south on University Blvd so I didn't see a date for reopening.

    Not sure Samantha's has was you want. Though their tamales are quite soft and moist, and very tasty, they are made with masa, not a mix of masa and rice flour. But they ARE steamed in banana leaves and seem to me to differ from Mexican tamales. Apparently there's a wide variety of Guatemalan tamales, including sweet ones, according to the Salvadoran waitress I talked to at Samantha's today while I enjoyed their chicken tamale!

    That sounds like Samantha's in Silver Spring near Langley Park. (Could that be Salvadoran style too?) Give them a call for details.

    Went to both Louie's Backyard and Keys Fisheries in May 2013 and really enjoyed them!
  21. MC Horoscope
    Very much enjoyed eating brunch here for my birthday in November. I had Anchovy Beignet with comte cheese, cardoon vinaigrette, and pine nuts Parmesan pancakes with maitake mushrooms, pork rinds, and naisturtium vinaigrette Naturtium ice cream, rose geranium, sorrel sabayon, and pine nut My wife had Pear soup with smoked almonds, hickory syrup, and frothed milk Roasted rockfish with savory cream of wheat, chestnut, and caramelized honey Chocolate and Rye Namelaka with muscat de provence ganache, hay caramel, and caraway candy (from the "diploma" they gave us for that day) Fancy stuff! Looking forward to returning in the spring.
  22. MC Horoscope
    Marinated pork shoulder with rice and gravy and black eyed peas and cole slaw (thinly sliced cabbage just salted and peppered and sprayed with vinegar, c'est tout!). A Cajun New Year's day!
  23. MC Horoscope
    I had the baked chicken (very juicy), spanakopita, and the pastichio this past week after reading Carman's review. Wow! Carman nailed it! Going back this week I'm sure for more of that spanikoptia and avgolemon soup. The side dish of string beans and tomatoes was really generous.
  24. MC Horoscope
    Don't miss the rum cake when they have it. And they make fine Cuban coffee.
  25. MC Horoscope
    From the truckers' Beltway convoy, "A moment of silence, please, to honor all those victims of emissions testing."
