Motherless children's a hard time when the' mother's dead

Kenneth: Maw didn't make it.

A Nearly Perfect Salad

An arugula salad with strawberries, slivers of fresh mint, and a most peppery balsamic vinaigrette: a nearly perfect salad. If the strawberries were local and if it were served with a thin crouton slathered with mascarpone, well, then, that would be perfect.

Movie

"If you're charged up emotionally, you'd better lie down for an hour or two before going to see it." -Roger Ebert

Aesthetically, Narratively, Visually, Emotionally Astonishing.*
The less you know about this film going into it, the better, I think. Don't read the Ebert review beforehand, or at least no more than Ebert's first 3 sentences.




*Astonishing if in its root tonare (to thunder) we can hear tonanda holera tenera (thundering of young vegetables).

Cake Come Sunday

I turned the top trimmings-- cut off when leveling the layers-- into a stratum of crumbs in the middle of the icing between the layers.
