And the Oscar Goes To.....

Oscars last night. I had seen none of the movies that were up for best picture. A good show. I enjoyed Jon Stewart. Sure glad the writers are back - I had also watched the atrocious Grammy Awards earlier. We all need writers. They all need writers.

On the menu for the show? Chocolate chip cookies and espresso. I was fired up. Used the recipe on the chocolate chip pkg, but did one half whole wheat flour and hazel nuts. Really good and you're eating half healthy and don't have to feel guilty.

In the mid to late seventies I lived on Fremont ave south in the Uptown neighborhood. Next to the townhouse where I lived a guy was moving out. He was ramping his VW into a Uhaul truck. I talked with him. He was from St LouisPark, was tall, had long curly hair and was Jewish looking. I asked him where he was moving to. He said that he and his brother were going to California to be movie producers. I thought he was a delusional hippie. To this day I believe it was Joel Cohen, brother of Ethan, both of whom won 3 Oscars last night.
