Post by: elmore3003 on August 17, 2015, 06:16:15 AM: DR JohnG, what's this animation kick you are on? I remember seeing "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow on Disneyland as a kid, and I had nightmares for years. I've always liked the Disney version of The Wind In The Willows. Like most Disney animation, it drops whatever subtle beauties the book has but Mr Toad in both the book and this anmated short remains one of my all-time favorite characters.

Mt favorite Disney score and cartoon is Alice In Wonderland, another favorite book the Disney machine drastically revisited, but so wickedly funny and perverse that no film's done it better.

Post by: John G. on August 17, 2015, 09:04:29 AM: Elmore, the library recently got in Sleepy Hollow, which is part of Mr. Toad. I had the album when I was a kid, and yes, it creeped me out, but in a good way. That's why I wanted to see it again.

So, when I went to pick it up, I also saw Dumbo and grabbed that. It made for a fun double feature.

I agree with you on Toad. I loved the book, and I love the treatment as a separate entity entirely.

Post by: John G. on August 17, 2015, 09:37:57 AM: TOD:

I grew up with kale coming in from the backyard garden, so I find its trendiness rather silly.

Quinoa is a word I hate almost as much as the flavor, and I hate even worse the chefs who, for the last 16 years, have been spouting how it's the next big thing. Get over it, chefs. We don't want to eat it. Not when we can have amaranth instead. :D

As for sous vide, puh-lease. I like real cooking using real techniques that people can use at home. I don't go out to eat in order to have a chemical experience. I don't eat many processed foods at home, so I don't want to pay some chef in order to turn fresh food into processed food for me.

Most food trends are overrated bits of ridiculousness. Just give me some goji berries and I'm happy.

Post by: Jrand74 on August 17, 2015, 11:27:42 AM: I bought one of these at Goodwill this morning.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31s1XeKRs%2BL.jpg)

It is a discontinued model that had a retail price of $499.99 although it is on sale on some sites for $299.99. But it is out of stock everywhere. It is 44" high, the top brace is cracked, but it stays together and looks very nice.

I bought it to put on our ART DECO set, but I am not taking to the theatre until I see if there is room on the set to put it. They haven't used anything I thought was nice yet - and they don't want to be reminded that they put a French provincial sofa in an ART DECO setting.....

oh....I paid $9.99 for it.

Post by: Elan on August 17, 2015, 11:39:31 AM: Hey, everybody!

Happiest of birthdays to S. Woody White. I remember meeting him and Der Brucer lo these many years ago at a Sondheim Stage get-together. Would love to hear from them again.

TOD: I can't recall when I first heard the words, but I can recall something interesting about each

Kale (warning: this one's quite graphic. Skip if you have a weak constitution): I took a class at John Jay with former chief medical examiner Michael Baden. He devoted one class to the (then 2-year old) OJ Simpson case, including pictures of the crime scene and Nicole Brown Simpson's autopsy. Her stomach contents included some fancy greens, "probably kale or something similar"

Quinoa: There's been a long-standing debate in the Orthodox Jewish community as to whether or not quinoa is kosher for Passover. The main issue is whether a centuries-old European rabbinic prohibition on certain "grain-like" products (mostly legumes) would apply to new-world products as well. It seems like the debate has leaned over to the lenient side, although I'm pretty much in agreement with John on the general merits of the stuff to begin with.

Sous Vide: I first heard about this one when the Times ran an article on the practice, particularly on the challenges food safety inspectors had in regulating it. Food cooked sous vide is cooked through at lower temperatures than those recommended by safety guidelines, and there was significant question as to whether or not the practice was sufficiently sanitary. I never cared enough to follow up on that.

Take care, all!
Title: Re: CHANGES
Post by: Ron Pulliam on August 17, 2015, 12:06:36 PM: I'm all about ignoring foodstuffs that have names not pronounced the way they look!

Quinoa should not be pronounced "keen-WA". It should be pronounced the way it looks: Kwin-oh-wa!

And Acai....oh, my. First, it's not an English word and has no association with an English pronunciation. There should BE an English word for it. I do not find "ah-sa-'EE" to roll trippingly off my tongue.

Title: Re: CHANGES
Post by: Amy on August 17, 2015, 12:25:37 PM: I had never heard of quinoa (and couldn't pronounce it) until just two and a half years ago. My dog came down with a rare disease and I had to go to a special web site to look for recipes I could cook for her. This disease is mostly controlled by an ultra low-fat diet (as opposed to medication). The web site suggested several very weird diets - one of them being bananas and
squid - I'm not kidding! And it also recommended things like quinoa and crab meat, which was a little more do-able, but I first had to learn what quinoa was (and how to pronounce it). Ultimately, I've been feeding her potatoes and ground turkey, which is more do-able still, and she's thriving very nicely.

I learned about kale and endive in college when I worked at the dormitory cafeteria. We used it as decoration around the salad bar. No one actually
thought to eat that crap.

I have no idea what sous vide is (or how to pronounce it).

Being from Northern California, as opposed to the part of California that's closer to Mexico, I had never heard of salsa until I went to college (in Southern California). Now I wonder how I could have possibly lived to be 18 years old without knowing what salsa is.
Title: Re: CHANGES
Post by: George on August 17, 2015, 12:45:30 PM: I think I first heard of quinoa when my niece became vegan a few years ago. I remember coming across this article from England about the people who actually grow the stuff for the rest of the world, but because it's exported, it's become much too expensive for them locally, when it used to be a staple for them:

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/jan/16/vegans-stomach-unpalatable-truth-quinoa

The article also mentions a similar problem with asparagus. "In the arid Ica region where Peruvian asparagus production is concentrated, this thirsty export vegetable has depleted the water resources on which local people depend."

Post by: ChasSmith on August 17, 2015, 12:57:54 PM: I'd always heard of kale, but never had any until in a salad a few years ago. Liked it fine, then heard that a lot of people think it's pretty worthless.

As for quinoa, I never really knew what it was -- or how to pronounce it -- until I saw the David Lynch short of him cooking some. I'm not sure whether I've had any myself. I think I have, but could take it or leave it. Probably leave it.

I'm sure there isn't a problem finding salsa in Northern California anymore, at least we didn't when we lived in Tiburon.

I also think we'll see more street food snacks from India and Pakistan, Asia and more as recently studies have suggested greater health benefits from eating spicy food.

By 1:30 I was on my way back home because I decided I needed a tutorial from Richard and we needed some papers that are here. We're going to try again tomorrow afternoon and she's coming here in case we need Richard's technical assistance again.

You're a special kind of person, aren't you!

Make sure you use a good heavy pot with a copper bottom. Take it over to the sink and fill it...with fresh water. Lots of nice, fresh water. Fresh water. Ensure you add sea salt in exactly - and not-to-be-exceeded - the unseen quantity.

And don't forget a colorful story about someone shooting Coca Cola through her nose until she got used to the carbonation.

(I couldn't go any further lest I shoot myself).

Post by: Druxy on August 17, 2015, 04:54:04 PM: I went down to my mail box place today only to discover that the business had closed as of Saturday.

All mail and packages have been sent back to the senders.

And the s.o.b. owner gave none of his customers any notice that he was closing.

>:(

Immediately, I went to a UPS Store and got a new mail box/shipping address. I also went to the post office to put in a change of address, which will take about 2 weeks to go into effect.

I have been making phone calls and sending out e-mails all afternoon to people who send me packages or snail mail. I'm sure I've missed some folks, so if you need to send me something the old fashioned way, please contact me privately and I will give you my address.

Bummer, right?

I looked at the box and thought how sick I would feel if I ate all those donuts, and then inside was celery & dip-lol

Now if it had been a box of Stan's Donuts in Westwood I would not have wanted the celery.
