I've now read four of Colson Whitehead's novels. Each is completely different from the rest.

I'm slowly making my way through Tango Shalom. It's rather embarrassing, except for the dancing.

I also got a wonderful cookbook from the library called Vegetables Unleashed from Jose Andres. I want to cook every third recipe I come across.

Sopa de Ajo, a garlic and bread soup

Watermelon and Watermelon Radish Salad with pea shoots

Pa Amb Tomaquet, a version of tomato bread that uses grated tomato

Even the Bloody Mary made from heirloom tomatoes sounds good

Smashed Cucumber Salad with chiles de arbol and pimenton

Frozen Pea Soup with roasted pistachios

Endives with Goat Cheese and Almonds

And I have to stop reading it for tonight. I'll start eating.

It is very different. It's also fairly short. But it is disturbing.

Thanks. I expect disturbing as most stories I have read like this are sad and disturbing. Short, I like that it is short-lol If I like it or not I hope it makes for a good discussion.

LOL, it sounds strange.

Last night we watched an Edward G Robinson movie I don't recall seeing before.

Jane · « **Reply #68 on:** January 25, 2022, 06:43:15 PM »

The 1944 film Mr. Winkle Goes to War.

Jane · « **Reply #69 on:** January 25, 2022, 06:44:09 PM »

Edward G, as always, is just wonderful.

Good night, friends.

Starting a John Frankenheimer I haven't seen before: 7 Days in May. Great cast. And Hugh Marlowe.

It's strange but Frederic March sort of vaguely resembles Biden.

Another where-did-it-go day.

Sigh.

I am happy to report I am seeing far more people wearing masks hereabouts than not. That was not true last week or the few months before.

Of course, there are those who simply refuse to wear them.

Two of the movies I picked up from the library today, Swan Song and Suspira, both have Udo Kier in them. How likely is that ever to happen?

John G. · « **Reply #76 on:** January 25, 2022, 07:35:22 PM »

Where is everyone today?

John G. · « **Reply #77 on:** January 25, 2022, 08:21:28 PM »

Enjoying this movie. Not as great as The Manchurian Candidate, but what is?

George, if you have tested positive twice, you need to notify your local health department. They are trying to get a more exact count of all positive CoVid tests.

I didn't know that.

I called and they took my info. That's all they needed.

DR George I am curious who you end up calling. How do you feel today?

I called the Departmen of Health's toll-free number. I'm feeling pretty much the same...just the cough. No fever, no aches, no headache.

DR JANE I plan to keep both cars for now. Of course in the 12 degree weather this morning, even the PT wouldn't start. I'll give it an hour and try again.

I need to get to the store and the bank.

Oh no, I hope you are able to start it. The car Keith had in New Jersey needed a towel or blanket left over the engine on cold nights. Fortunately he never forgot to remove it.

One of the options for my new car is a battery heater. I didn't choose it. I've never had any trouble starting a car in cold weather...opening the car doors, yes, but not starting it once I got in.

DR George are you able to work at all from home? Did you find someone to finish doing the invoices for you?

I actually did work today. My supervisor (safely) dropped off a laptop and the invoices that I needed, so that's pretty much what I'd been doing today.

George · « **Reply #84 on:** January 25, 2022, 08:49:55 PM »

I still need to download PDF copies of all the invoices, but I'll do that tomorrow.

John G. · « **Reply #85 on:** January 25, 2022, 08:50:34 PM »

Glad you were able to work, George.

John G. · « **Reply #86 on:** January 25, 2022, 08:53:05 PM »

You got your work cut out for you here.

John G. · « **Reply #87 on:** January 25, 2022, 08:53:23 PM »

We need a few more posts.

John G. · « **Reply #88 on:** January 25, 2022, 08:55:07 PM »

Let’s get off this page.
