R.I.P....

"I hated this movie. Hated, hated, hated, hated, hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it." — Roger Ebert

My interest in photographing sightseers began back in 1976 when I was invited to teach at the Ansel Adams Workshops in Yosemite National Park.

nbc is desperate for a hit and the one review ive heard is cautiously optimistic about hannibal, another stab at a silence of the lambs prequel.

yankee fans all in for opening day.

Working on a braised greens recipie. Inspired by the post-OSU meal, also cribbing a recepie from Emeril's web site (bam).

Tonight's version:

- Kale and brocolli rabe.
- Low sodium store bought organic chicken stock
- onion, shallot, garlic
- cayenne, paprika, pepper, salt
- jerez vinegar (red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar would do)
- olive oil
- big pot with thick bottom and lid

Prep all the ingredients.

Heat pan, add & heat oil, add sliced yellow onion & brown, add sliced medium shallot & brown, add two garlic cloves (fine dice) & spices & toast a bit

Add some stock, max heat, deglaze bottom

Add more stock (total about 2 cups), add kale (de-stemmed and sliced), stir kale, lower to medium heat, cover.

After a few minutes (four?), add brocolli rabe, stir, cover, cook for minute, stir, cover, cook for minute. Done? Cook more for less al dente.

Remove greens from pot to bowl. Finish with a bit of vinegar and salt.

Serve with a side of seared salmon.

wolfowitz... still wrong.

...when film-maker Stanley Kubrick was making "2001: a Space Odyssey", he asked the band to contribute to the soundtrack. Obviously, they turned him down. Apparently, Roger Waters later admitted, that this was one of the few career moves he ever made that he truly regrets.
