Roly Poly Fish Heads

I posted this picture on Facebook the other day when I was making broiled trout for dinner, and my friend Shannon M. suggested the lyrics to this song by Art and Artie Barnes as the caption. Apparently, Rolling Stone magazine has named the video in their list of top 100 videos of all time. Eat them up, yum.

i had totally forgotten about that song until i heard the lyrics! interesting sidebar: the art deco building he walks by is no longer there. it was the pan pacific theater and was torn down only to be replaced by an outdoor mall called the grove.
los angeles is, indeed, a strange place where beautiful old things are torn down to be replaced by ugly new things designed to look old...

Yay! One of my all time favourite songs, Robyn.
Thank you for that.
Oh my. I don't mind preparing fish with heads on, but JUST the heads? EW in caps. Eek.

Nope. I can't look at this photo. I have an abhorrence of raw fish. I can only cook it if it is sealed in a cryo bag and I don't have to touch it. Rather limits my culinary repertoire.

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...

Happy Birthday To...

Pope Leo IX (the Pope) JCF Bach (German composer) Jane Russell (of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds fame) Daniel Carter Beard (founder of the Boy Scouts of America) Jean-Paul Sartre (French philosopher) Maureen Stapleton (Academy Award winning actress) Mariette Hartley (who?) Prince William of Wales (the prince) but most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 45 years ago today, I was born in Alabama in a small town on the banks of the Tennessee River. Yesterday, someone asked me if my family has any birthday traditions. The answer is no. My family never cared very much, but I do remember a few birthday highlights. I was given a birthday party in the back yard when I was ten years old. Two years later, my sister got married on my birthday, so I was just a bit overlooked, although I did get a stuffed animal--it was a white Yorkshire terrier with an AM radio in its stomach. When I turned 20, a different sister took me to an outdoor performance of Dvorak's New World Sympho...
