I'll eat just about anything, but I do love a good beef tenderloin roast, cooked rare. Simple is good!

As for the Topic of the Day...

Beef, Pork, Chicken, Lamb, Veal.. Heck, even goat... It's all good when prepared well.

Are we including "Fish" as meat? -Just wondering about the aforementioned "Eel".

As for the specifics...

The osso bucco at Becco. The slow-roasted pork at Becco. The bisteca Fiorentina at Becco. -Notice a theme here?

The goat (chivo tacos from the taco cart up the street. *The New York Times just reviewed one of the other trucks down on 96th Street. Looks like the "roach coach" is going legit!

North Carolina-style pulled pork BBQ. Strangely, some of the best NC-style I've had has been in VA.

My mom used to make a Chinese Style Pot Roast - basically a beef roast braised in soy, five spice and star anise. Soooo good. And, I would also like the pieces of carrots and celery that braised along with the meat.

I've heard of "phoning it in," but this is ridiculous...

Oh... And some of my fond "memories" from L.A...

Pink's hot dogs.
Philippe's French Dip - I liked the Lamb Version with Bleu Cheese. Bun double-dipped in jus, of course. Although, the original beef version if quite wonderful too.
The conchinita pibil - pork braised in sour orange juice - from the little stand near my friend's house. -DR Cason may know what I'm talking about - it's across the street from the Albertson's.
An In-N-Out Burger.

Tonight I'm going to my first meeting as a member of the Sioux City Film Institute. It sounds more impressive than it is, but it's the group that decides what films to show at the Orpheum and is responsibile for our Film Festival of short films and our silent film festival.

Good luck, DR Cillaliz. And YOU know what I mean!

TOD (continued) - how could this transplant to greater Cincinnati have forgotten to mention ribs from the Montgomery Inn? With Saratoga Chips and a tossed salad with ranch dressing - Mmmm. And they serve Graeter's ice cream!

B-B-Q'd ribs at Arthur Bryant's in Kansas City, MO.

Oh, MusidGuy, you've eaten more meat at Arthur's than anyone in this room!

Watching BK attempt to eat vegetarian burgers was one of the comedic highlights of his visit to PDX.

Betsy makes many a vegetarian delight. Last night we had her homemade pizza, with whole wheat crust, soy cheese (at least for cholestophobic me), fresh (not canned) pineapple, mushroom and olive. Mmm-mm good.

Eating Betsy's cooking is a delight...particularly when she makes a dessert!!

I must go to the post office and mail several packages...beware DRs Musicguy, Rodzinski, and JRand56! Hee, hee, hee!

And on my way to the post office I will have a chance to listen to a CD that arrived over the weekend...OUT OF CONTROL PUNJABIS.

Actually, Ron, to be a cannibal, you'd have to be a human eating human flesh or an animal eating the flesh of a like animal.

There ya go! We meat eaters are off da hook!

TOD - pork, prepared any way. Preferably slow cooked, but pork it is!

Back from the post office where I mailed my items and even picked up a package from India...which I am listening to right now.

I don't think I will watch the VERONICA MARS finale live. Here it is on from 10pm-midnight. I may watch the first hour.

I'm not sure if i will watch HEROES live or not. It has been on here at 8pm in the past. But because the same channel has 24 they are showing it at 10pm. Or i can catch it at 9pm on NBC. I usually like taping that one because so much happens, sometimes i like to rewind.

Today is a holiday here (Victoria Day). I just went out to lunch with a bunch of family members. I know i will definitely watch DANCING WITH THE STARS at 8pm. And I still have BROTHERS & SISTERS from last night.

Back from two nice meetings, and I've also been to the post office which, thank goodness, was practically empty. So, I've managed to squeeze most of today's stuff into the morning, and now, other than a few various and sundried tasks, the rest of the day is mine all mine.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #116 on:** May 21, 2007, 12:10:31 PM »

I watched CAPTAIN FROM CASTILLE last night....this is the movie that my parents saw on their FIRST date.

I listened to some of Mr Nick Redman's commentary, but then I got interested in the movie and had to turn it off. Mr Redman certainly has a very nice accent. Mr Rudy Behlmer also had some nice things to say.

BUT - the featurette on the this DVD was titled Tyrone Power's Leading Ladies with some nice CLIPS...but the writer claimed that Power was under contract to FOX for "30 years".....so he either signed that contract in 1928 when he was 14...OR he was under contract to FOX for ten years after he bit the dust....

Featurette was written by someone named Bryan Cooper.
