For Halloween, I want to be Mountain Rivera, freshly defeated by Cassius Clay.
More to come on Mountain and Requiem for a Heavyweight.
Happy Halloween.

Halloween Theme #2
For Halloween, I want to be a flagellant.
Or a procession of flagellants.
Olde tyme or contemporary.
Or both.

Halloween Theme #1
For Halloween, I want to be one of the ghosts that somersaults over the heads of samurai in Shindo's Kuroneko. Or a gorgeous shot of the camera moving through bamboo in the same film. Or the snow.

Best Word
This has been a best for many years now-- ever since Kenneth and I spied, in the fish case at Dick's in Dodgeville, Wis., prawns identified by a hand labeled sign as "large prongs."

From This Weekend's Market
Brussels Sprouts. The farmer, when I picked up one of these tremendous stalks: "Ders a lot of dem on dere!" A truer statement wasn't made at Saturday's market.
Gorgeous radicchio.
Superstar onions-- so sweet and so juicy!
Rapini, which is rare here and a personal favorite.
Three kinds of garlic-- if only I could remember the varieties.
More kohlrabi and beets for more latkes.
Bartlet pears, galas, honey crisps, golden delicious. The massive brussels sprout stalk inflicted minor bruising, I'm afraid.
Not pictured: corn, turnips
