Just watched A Very Murray Christmas last night on netflix. A Sofia Coppola directed christmas special starring Bill Murray, Im sure you have heard about it. It's a great piece of work, dark mood and super casting. The bartender was played by David Johansen's alternate identity Buster Poindexter and he did a bang up job. recommended!!!

I would only add that you may want to hold off a little closer to the 25th or when ever your tree goes up to secure the proper seasonal vibe.

I made it over to Prospect Park on my Tuesday lunch hour for this Painted Bunting, which is getting more media coverage than other, rarer, birds ever do, basically because it is undeniably the most gaudily colored songbird in North America. Not mentioned is the fact that there is some doubt as to its origin. It’s been seen associating with a group of European Goldfinches, which are presumably escaped cage birds, and while it’s illegal to have native migratory birds as pets, there is a black market and adult male Painted Bunting would be highly desirable; vagrants are typically first year birds with a drab, all green plumage. Still, it is not banded, and doesn’t show obvious signs of cage-wear on feathers or feet, so folks are leaning towards calling it legitimate.    

i've never seen tofu -- or spinach salad, for that matter -- but i certainly like being able to get an ipa and nong's chicken and rice at the stadium 

Boston butt pork shoulder, blade-in, braised in pork/chicken stock and Chimay ale with onions caramelized in pork fat, coriander, fennel seed, garlic.

I'm learning more about tea. For example, cut leaf tea gives up tannin more quickly than whole leaf tea. I've taken to brewing tea using a thermometer (about 180 F) and a timer (about 5 minutes) to try to establish a baseline from which to try variations. Should I get snooty with baristas if they don't know the temperature of the water used for tea?

New use for searzall: reheating leftover steak. Brie is optional.
