  18. Callahan, Sanctuary is back, and I've found it was pretty good last season; a lot better than expected.
    I have to reserve judgement on Stargate Voyager, I mean Stargate Universe. The pilot was good except why they couldn't find something to block the hole in the shuttle window, I don't know, but the first episode was so-so.
    Meanwhile, Dianna has been helping me with one story; I need to put it aside before the next rewrite, so I'm completing another one.

  66. Black helicopters are flying over your house DEZ.

    Speaking of which... just watching "Blackhawk Down". (Wife isn't here, so I can watch war movies!) I'd forgotten just how well-done this movie is. It also very much runs against the Hollywood grain; very forthright in depicting our guys as the good guys.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Callahan, a business friend of my dad's was from Germany and he brought his son over once. We took him out to some bars and such. He was so surprised that we could just walk around town safely. He honestly thought that there were packs of Pitbulls roaming around and that everyone would be armed. Hopefully, we helped change some of his opinions of the U.S.

  80. OR,

    I think Bruckheimer must have sneaked that movie past the politically correct censors. The title had the word "down" in it, so it must "against" the military, right?

    The thing is, the Rangers kicked ass that day. If the commander in chief had not quaked and pooped his panties the whole mission could have been saved... instead we got the East Africa Embassy bombings,the attack on the USS Cole & 9/11.

    ReplyDelete
  81. They need to rename "Lima" beans; it's a crime that such a distasteful food shares a name with such a beautiful woman.

    Perhaps re-name them "Thomas beans"?

    ReplyDelete
  82. What a bunch of babies! I cooked up a mess of Green Cabbage and Red Onions just this week. Lima Beans are good in soup.

  87. Kenneth:

    the whole mission could have been saved

    I think part of the problem was that by the time of the Battle of Mogadishu, it was no longer clear what the mission even was. Bowden is actually pretty critical of that in the book, IIRC.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Is this the "foods I don't like thread"? I nominate beets and second the cabbage. I don't think I ever tried Lima beans.

  125. DEZ,

    Beans (legumes if you prefer) are fabulous cheap healthy nutritious foods that fight diabetes & fat.

    Beans come in so many varieties, you could try a different one every day of the month. Every culture eats beans one way or another, so it's a smart human resource.

    I repeat, they are cheap, healthy, fat-free, and take to many different flavors. A great way to feed one's family good stuff that is easy to prepare.

  145. Spenser,

    Smart you, serving delicious soups to your family! What I wouldn't give to taste my Spanish grandmother's lentil soup with chorizo, or the German side of the family's lentil soup with Spaetzle & vinegar.

    Then there was the weekly Cocido Madrilenyo, a three course meal of soup, garbanzos dressed with oil & vinegar, 3 meats including blood pudding & chorizo, chicken, beef, smoked pork, and root vegetables & cabbage. It sounds disgusting but was the national dish of Castilla for several centuries!

    Such memories of big multigeneration families around the soup tureen!
