Thanks for the re-post, Joyce! (I still have the book, with the Ben Shahn drawings, that I was given on my third birthday; the oldest thing I have.)

At the risk of contradicting John Pizzarelli -- for most things, I do like Jersey best -- best turkey I ever have was deep-fried (not as greasy as that sounds) in Fort Worth, TX. Cooks in a cannister in 45 minutes. You just have to be careful to cook it outside in case it all explodes.

You shut up, genocide apologist.

I've resorted to making my own brioche's in the breadmaker....

Hi! Too bad about my empanada joint! Mofongo is a concoction of plaintain and pork and (in my non-Rican point of view) Puerto Rican soul-food....

Ditto for evangelical Judaism/Zionism and evangelical Islam.

"Seguezation"; I love it. Most challenging & rewarding part of DJing, & u are a master. I remember a Kennel show where out of the blue you spun Superstition & the timing was perfect. Also the Mandela is free night, the vid so nice you had to play it thrice. Saw Jimmy open for the Dead @ the Greek.
