Three!

[John G.]

I can’t believe I am agreeing with a largely conservative majority of the Supreme Court, but I do think the Sacklers should be held directly accountable for their role in the opiod crisis.

[George]

Had to hustle little lady Rodz to urgent care as some piggyback riding with brother went awry and she had a bloody cut under her hair. (Scraped head on corner of coffee table) Found a place that took us in before closing. Upon cleaning her hair up, the cut was rather small and didn’t require stitches. So that all turned out ok.

Whew!

[George]

Keith got Wordle in 2

Congrats to Keith!

[ChasSmith]

I caused a permanent scar above my little sister's eye by swinging her around the living room, whereby she hit her forehead on the edge of the coffee table.

Thanks, all, for the kind words. And coffee tables. Who needs em?

It was a coffee table, many years ago, that my dad tripped and chipped a front tooth on.

The physical therapist just left. To my surprise, it was Maria, the lady who came on Monday to evaluate me for therapy. I like her very much. We will do sessions Thursdays and Mondays for the next three weeks.

One of the reasons I watch the debates - the only time I'll watch that ass Trump live - is my hope I will see him die on camera from a stroke or a bullet. That goes actually for all the MAGA morons in Congress amd the Supreme Court as well.

I could use some of  the New Kam Lai, my local Chinese restaurant, fried pork dumplings at the moment.

Norbert And Beatte Go To Yosemite!

I would watch that!

[Jrand74]

Good news about Ms. Rodzette.

It seems coffee tables are lethal......and now they are known as cocktail tables, I guess.

[Jrand74]

I told our leading lady I thought she was using a nice accent....it's kind of Russian-German and really is pretty good.

She was pleased to hear it.....and agreed with me.

No news from FLUX.

That's wonderful to hear, Larry!

Are you sure she doesn't read here?

Anyone watching the presidential debate tonight? I need to check on the time and station.

I hope to, but I don't know if I'll be able to.

TOD:

Ravioli is fine, but my favorite "stuffed" pasta is tortellini.  As long as it has a Bolognese sauce, I don't care if it's filled with cheese, meat or veggies like spinach.

I'm a fan of tortellini, too.  I enjoy them in soup as well as in a sauce.

And penne or rigatoni, too, for the way they hold the sauce.

I went to an Italian restaurant in San Francisco MANY years ago when I was on an aircraft carrier assigned to Alameda, across the bay from The City.  They had wonderful everything, but the one thing I had that I've never found anywhere else -- INCLUDING ITALY (which is where I went after leaving there) -- was a dish called "Tricolore".  The word is pronounced Tree-co-LOR-ay in Italian, and it is what they call their national flag.

I was served a platter of pasta, one-third was marinara, one-third was alfredo and the last third was pesto...red, white and green.  The alfredo, IIRC, was with fettucine, the marinara was spaghetti adn the pesto was penne.  It was wonderful

My Italian co-workers and my Italian neighbors had never heard of such a thing.  So, I have to presume it's an Italian-American concoction.  Each third was delicious.

That sounds really good, Ron!

Folks, it's time for the Idiocy of the Day post - a moment I know we all anticipate with barely contained excitement every morning.

I decided I'm going shopping later, anyway, so I said to hell with this allergy/sniffly feeling, I'm taking that last Benadryl NOW. I rarely take it in the daytime, but this is going to be one of those times. I went up to my bathroom and opened the cabinet, expecting to see that last capsule sitting there for emergency use and as a reminder to replenish the supply, and... it wasn't there! DAMN it to almighty HELL, I must have taken it and totally forgotten that when I was in a store.

And then I looked again, at that other package of whatever that lone capsule would have been sitting on. It was a TopCare (the "store brand" in Shop Rite and other chains) package in the pink-and-white colors of Benadryl-type allergy meds. OMG, that was it! I did, in fact, replace it. And then the memory of picking it up last week came into focus. I had completely forgotten doing that.

Cutting to the chase, the first capsule in that pack is INSIDE OF ME and I am already feeling some relief.

Wonderful surprise, ChasSmith!

That's great, Larry!  Hope it all goes really well!

Ditto.

[John G.]

George, I have a niece named Beate.

[John G.]

A friend gave me a large, farmers market cucumber, carrot, zucchini and yellow squash. I have decided to make vegetable sandwiches for lunch. Thin slices of each on sourdough with mayo as well as a salad made with diced cucumber, celery, scallions, jalapeño and mint in a sour cream dressing.

Like in the show "Norbert And Beatte Go To Yosemite?"

[John G.]

I found out the jasmine in bloom now is edible. I picked two blossoms. I may just use them for garnish. Also using some purslane and chives from the garden.

I haven't had a tricolore pasta, but last year in New York I had a pizza like that. They call it "Tre Gusti" and the white was cacio e pepe instead of alfredo. This was at Simo, across the street from the Whitney Museum, and I see it's still on their menu:

I'm also a ravioli fan but that's true for most pasta. We used to cook it at home when we lived in Arlington near an Italian place that made their own. I'm told there's a place in San Jose that has some great ravioli, so I should probably try that sometime. I haven't yet had the desire to actually make fresh pasta myself, much less a filled pasta.

Sandwich time

Has anyone heard from Dr Iris at all lately? 

Iris - Sending health vibes your way if you're still in bad health.

[John G.]

Starting The Mask of Fu Manchu with Boris Karloff. Myrna Loy plays an Asian character named Fah Lo See.

There was a warning about outdated stereotypes employed in the film.

[John G.]

Onward.
