PHILLYQ

I went to NO for the first time in July on vacation and I fell iin love with the city. This is from a guy who has always loved NYC and always lived there. It's so horrendous and sad to see this beautiful city destroyed like that. The response from the Govt on all levels has been weak & ineffectual, and people in the affected areas should beware of W promising whatever is needed to rebuild the city- he pulled that same crap on NYC after 9/11 and then reneged on almost all of his pledges! My thoughts and prayers go out to all the people affected by this. I made a donation today to the Red Cross relief and my employer will match all donations by employees(My company employs about 85000 people.), so I'm hoping that many people donate and I've been pushing people at work to donate.

That woman on the cover looks like Lisa Leslie- what's this 'kill' stuff?

Do so with a Pez Dispenser. ← Good one, Dan!

Saturday was Chicken Marsala, Sunday was skirt steak with garam masala & curried broccolli, today was sausage & peppers.

While I agree that Bradley has some issues, Jeff Kent has been one of the biggest jerks in baseball for a long time. Is Kent a bigot? I don't know. But I do remember when he was a rookie with the Mets and a rookie prank was pulled on him(Iirc, his clothes were cut up), and he pitched a hissy fit. And then there was his relationship with Bonds, another jerk. That was one time that if a fight broke out I wanted both of them to lose. So maybe the truth is that Kent attracts other jerks who try to outjerk him. What were his parents thinking when they named him Milton with that last name? Did he hang out with the Parker Brothers?

I visit as a 'guest' when I'm at work.

Last night was salmon with dill, lemon slices, white wine, onion, and dry spices, all wrapped in aluminum foil and put on the grill. Together with a cucumber salad with dill and some brussels sprouts. Tonight was chicken cutlets with a bit of olive oil and dry spices on the grill and some steamed string beans with dill butter(I finally ran out of dill!).

Of course

BFrank, According to the CD Universe website, when you preorder they don't charge your credit card until they ship, so you're not out the money for a month and change.

Jim, Please let us know when the disc is released- I'd like to get one.

Thanks for the info, I preordered today

Hello all, I'm looking for a cd of Elvin Jones' 'Puttin it Together', the trio disc with Jimmy Garrison & Joe Farrell. If anybody has one that they wish to sell, please PM me. Thank you.

If you haven't posted one yet, get on over to CD Baby and put in the good word in a review. The more the merrier, and it can help goose the sales some. GET THE WORD OUT- IT SMOKES!!!

Congratulations Alexander- fill those heads with knowledge!

Big Al, Berigan's on to something there- it really is worth it to trade some bats to get some good arms. First, though, you need a GM with some onions who's not afraid to mek some deals. I like what Omar Minaya has done with the Mets. He's pretty much made over the team by being agressive with his deals. Sure, some deals may fall flat, but he's at least trying to make the team better. Big Al for GM!!!!

I made sausage & peppers for dinner tonight, sausage on the grill and the peppers & onions on the handy side burner on the grill! Last week I made chicken & sausage gumbo- it was a lot of work, but it came out very nice and I actually made a decent roux. I may try another N'awlins recipe this weekend. Last night was teriyaki chicken cutlets on the grill and some steamed stringbeans with a dipping sauce of soy sauce, sesame oil & garlic powder.

Alexander will be teaching Theology

Do you shred or use it as a wrap? ← Shred it- you get more fiber and the newsprint makes a lovely color for the dressing!

Last night was Caesar salad, with a dressing from a newspaper recipe(excellent!!!) and some marinated chicken cutlets on the grill(marinade of parsley, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, cayenne pepper & black pepper). Tonight was burgers and a tomato salad.

I put my five star review on CD Baby- this disc deserves it! Excellent effort, guys- you hit a good one here.

GREAT PIX! Thanks a lot for posting them- they're excellent.

I haven't been online in about a week, so i just saw this. My condolences to you and your family. My mother went through an 18 month battle with cancer before she passed, and I thought the same thing as you did- she's not suffering anymore. Take good care of your dad.

I caught the Rebirth Brass Band on 7/19 at their regular gig, the Maple Leaf in N'awlins. The set started around 11:00 P.M. and the place was packed(had to be about 250 people there) wall to wall and front to back. Rebirth blew the roof off that sucker! They wre funky but also displayed some serious chops and some great solos by the various horns(2 saxes, 2 trumpets, 2 bones, 1 sousaphone). As complex as they got with the horn interplay, they still had some ass-shakin' groove going also. The crowd was mostly people in their twenties, one of the most encouraging signs I've seen in quite awhile. Maybe they won't all turn out to be jazz fans, but they packed the place and dug the groove and were at least exposed to some great music. If in N'awlins, check these guys out on Tuesdays at the Maple Leaf- great gig!!!

Jerk chicken cutlets on the grill(FIERY!!!) and some frozen spinach nuked.

With the obesity epidemic is that a big band?
