Busted at the Buffet

Upon hearing of the Elliot Spitzer escapade(s), my first question was I wonder what they ordered from room service.

Next thought, of course( I'm a guy), is boy, she sounds cute.

Are we not good at destroying ourselves? Gee, he was so good at destroying others.

Sounds also as if this was not his first time at the buffet.

I feel bad for his wife, and think that she has probably lost her appetite.

Gettin' Chunky

Remember the Chunky Candy Bar that went the way of the Mars Candy Bar before the Mars Bar went that way? If you fill a china coffee cup with equal amounts of semi sweet chocolate chips, raisins and walnuts you have a very close approximation of the original. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Sip espresso on the side if you want to get really fired up.

The Dynamic Duo

In an internet ad Jack Nicholson says gentlemen, there is nothing sexier than waking in the morning and saluting a woman. That would be Hillary he is referring to, as President and Commander in Chief.

If Hillary would be President and would dally w/ Jack in the Oval Office, how would the American public respond? I can see Jack now, sipping his morning coffee, pinky finger flayed, hair all over the place, and that grin on his face. His greatest and final Academy Award performance.

Hedgehogs

I heard on public radio this morning of 23 or so guys who were publicly executed for attempting or assisting escape from N Korea. I guess that's why they were trying to escape.

I wonder what they eat over there. Not much, whatever it is. Dead stuff, tho', like we do.

The NYT food writer, Frank Bruni ,has been eating at and reviewing 10 of his favorite picks of newer restaurants across this country. He ate hedgehog at one in California.

We had a pet hedgehog, once, that stayed curled up in a ball like a tiny porcupine for two years and then died. He looked the same dead as alive.

I s'pose we could have ate him.

All is Well

It is hard to believe that our lakes will have open water in a about a month.

I am a sucker for fast food. Can't help myself. Stuff like fish. They're fast. And deer, grouse, pheasants. All fast. Swift in the water, on the hoof, or the wing. Fairly natural depending on where you get them.

Slow food too, from the garden, to accompany the fast. The perfect balance. Fresh herbs growing close to the kitchen.

A daughter still at home, of course, at 10 yrs of age.

A young lab, too.

Living on the lake.

It is good.
