Decent night’s sleep.

Great news, John G!

TOD: I love a great Philadelphia roast pork sandwich, with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone. We used to have a place near the Giants ballpark that did a great version but they closed many years ago. One of our local delis has a lovely oven roasted turkey sandwich "Italian style" with artichoke hearts and other fun things. But please, oil and vinegar for dressing, not mayo. Mayo is for sandwiches, not subs / grinders / heros.

There is nothing like an oil & vinegar dressing for Italian sandwiches. I'm 100% on board with that.

Richard Holmes, Rupert's brother, suggested I ask Spectrum what TV stations I never watch and see if removing them will lower my monthly bill from $244.00.

So, I just got off the phone with Spectrum. My new bill is now $196.00/month.

I love a New Orleans style po'boy down to the right bread. The lightly fried shrimp or oysters (or both), a dab of Creole mustard and super fresh vegetables all work together.

On a hoagie with pepperoni, salami, ham, mortadella, provolone, shredded lettuce and tomato.

I also love a good bahn mi on toasted French bread with meats, Daikon radish, some cilantro and carrot. As for meats, grilled, seasoned chicken is wonderful.

That's a lot!  Does it include your internet?

I love a good ham and Swiss on rye with butter, tomatoes and onions. And just a sprinkling of salt.

Yes.  But Spectrum never counted on Rupert Holmes' brother giving cable consumer advice.

The cost of Spectrum was just getting ridiculous, so we switched to Starry.


I do miss Channel 1, which was special to Spectrum, though.

Watching the latest season of Miss Scarlet. It’s fun and mindless.

TOD: Not something I eat often, but I love meatball subs. I love meatballs.

When we do get subs, it's Quizno's, which is about twice a year. My daughter's favorite.

I’ve been reading Josephine Baker’s memoir. Didn’t know that Georges Simenon was her secretary and lover.

Here’s a short bit on them and Simenon fan Walter Benjamin.

I cannot remember the name of the German who wrote the famous diary of his Berlin life in the 1920s and 30s. I read it in college because he attended the 1928 premiere of The Threepenny Opera. He mentions a party he attended where folies bergere star, a nude Josephine Baker, was having public sex with another woman. It's hard to forget parties like that!
