TOD - my mom served kale as a side dish when I was a kid. I can't remember if it was hot or cold, but I do remember that it was garnished with sliced hard-boiled eggs and sprinkled with vinegar. And we all ate it...

I like it best when all the drama is on the stage.

DR Elmore, I would like to go to Columbia with you sometime!

Good morning. It is a stay-at-home day. I will be catching up on stuff I let go over the weekend.

Good morning, all.

Welcome back to the working world, DR Michael. Hope it's a good first day.

Congratulations on your milestone, Vixmom.

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.

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.

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.

I bought one of these at Goodwill this morning.

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.

No. Also, it kind of looks like the machine in "Contact" that sent Jodie Foster across the galaxy...except without the bright lights and loud noises and the flinging of Jodie Foster across the galaxy.

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!

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.
