I want to live in Effington.
Getting To The Root Of The Great Cilantro Divide : NPR.
Uh, okay, you mean there are people out there who don’t consider cilantro the king of herbs??!!
So these super-tasters are the reason that I go to Tex-Mex restaurant and someone puts of dish of something called “salsa” at my plate and there is nothing green in the bowl. No cilantro, no jalapeño, just watered-down tomatoes. Hideous.
How can you make salsa without cilantro?
The Bacon Explosion – Take Bacon. Add Sausage. Blog. – NYTimes.com.
As I was recently writing about…seems that bacon-wrapped anything is becoming way over-the-top popular these days.
Never in my life have I ever imagined such a foodie item!!
Anyone who likes Rachel Yamagata, Ray LaMontagne, and artists from ECM Records most certainly has his priorities in the right place.
Snot puppies on me for ignorance on Mr Sheik’s music over the past decade. Certainly the past 10 years, the 90′s and 00′s, are a much more fruitful decade for music than was the waste of the 70′s and 80′s.
Pittsburgh vs. Arizona Super Bowl Food-Off.
1) Fries inside a sandwich? That’s too weird for me.
2) Arizona pizza? No.
3) Bacon-wrapped anything is good in my book. Looks tasty!
4) That chili-beer probably costs $8/6-pack. Over-rated.
Sends the game into a tie. Need sudden death overtime:)

I used to make my sun tea with a gallon jar; brewed out in the Summer sun. What was I thinking? Took me a while to find the better ways.
I like to buy tea from TeaSource; they also have good information on their website. We’re also fortunate to have a couple excellent Oriental grocery stores

Tremendous article in the NY Times on Gabriel Roth, co-founder of Daptone Records who discusses the development of their record label. Vocalist Sharon Jones along with the Dap-Kings really bring out the old-school sound and the production is fabulous. A must-add for anyone’s list.
I’ve been a big fan of the Kent Records series of LPs produced during the mid-1980s. Lots of under-appreciated, under-recognized, under-rated artists, writers, singers, and musicians laid down lots of music for this company.
Listening today to a Fresh Air review of this Jerry Ragavoy anthology reminds me how good this music was, how good it is, and how it has stood the test of time.
Somehow, I need to figure a way to convert my old Kent LPs into the digital age.
