CA 1 north of San Francisco (almost as scenic if not as scenic as Big Sur).

Videodrome (one of the best body horror movies ever, but nobody ever talks about it)

Orange Crush (the High Fructose Corn Syrup version of what Fanta should be)

The Mustang II (it sold well for a reason)

Peeing on the side of the road (total and annoyance saver over finding a public restroom in rural areas).

Chicago (the classic lineup with Terry Kath)


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Anchovies/Sardines

Especially anchovies.  Sometimes after church, I'll whip up a simple lunch of frozen tortellini and pesto from a jar.  Before I mix everything together, though, I sauté some diced onion in olive oil, then I put in some anchovy paste or diced anchovies right at the end.  The smell when it first hits the pan can be a bit much for the rest of the family (three out of the four don't like anchovies), but they're head over heels for the final result.

I'm to the point now where, if it's a sauce that's going on pasta, then it's getting anchovies.

Have you had white anchovies? Mind blowing.

Yes, because you recommended them.  I was underwhelmed.

OK, I picked up some white anchovies on Wednesday.  But now I'm worried they'll just taste like sardines–which I already had and rarely use.  Did I make a mistake here...

Forgot to follow up...  I had the white anchovies a while ago, and they were basically just a better-tasting sardine.  I imagine the refrigerated kind are better–being preserved in vinegar rather than just oil–but I don't know where to find those around here.  This past weekend, I bought a tin of white anchovies preserved in salt water to see if those are any better.

The way I ate them was to mash them up with spreadable cheese, capers, herbes de Provence, olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and diced Kalamata olives–then spread that on crackers.

Yeah, that brand isn't great. They're too much like sardines texturally. You need the pretty filets in oil like this.



I have the brand that you have but I only use them in Caesar salads. The others I can just eat by themselves.

Recent seasons of The Simpsons.
There are some real gems sprinkled throughout compared to the lull the show seemed to experience a decade ago.  Plenty of duds, too, don't get me wrong, but enough good ones to continue watching.

As I said, I don't know a local source to buy those from.

If you ever get out here for a vacation anytime soon, I'll buy you some. There are a couple of specialty grocers that have them here.

These look decent (if not a bit pricey) from Amazon.

Also, The Seafood Shop in Wichita could likely order some in for you from glancing at their website. They're often distributed by the same companies that bring in fresh fish (Seattle Fish and the like).

And yet he's so much more than that. Two-time Indy 500 winner, CART title, IMSA title, F3000 (today's F2) title, wins in F1/Indy/NASCAR/IMSA/WEC, and you could make a case that he's won the Triple Crown of Motorsport. (He says he has, but most say he hasn't, because his win at Le Mans was a class win and not overall.)

I'm not disagreeing that his overall resume is very impressive.  I would argue finishing in the top ten in the points in a NASCAR season was more impressive then his two Road Course wins though.

In full agreement again. White meat is for suckers.

Don't get me wrong:  I like chicken breast too.  I just think the thighs are underrated.

Dark meat McNuggets were fantastic before the white meat brigade killed them with their "health consciousness."
