Sally: When you say, 'you and the guys', you mean the Internet, don't you?
Florence: How'd you know?

File Under │Missed Opportunities
My pal Liz has a new Serious Eats column today rating drug store Easter chocolate candies by their number of NOMs. Now this is worth flagging on its own, and I’m always down to help pimp out my peeps. But I’ve been begging bugging Liz to return the favor and use her column to help pimp me out. As we learned yesterday, online dating just isn’t all that easy. So sometimes you have...

Lukas, apparently we’re both wrong and her South Africa HBO special was broadcast in 1974. I didn’t even know HBO existed then! Also, Nelson Mandela only spent like 9 years in prison. Martyr shmartyr. It also has her age listed as 66, as well as ‘I Just Wanna Dance with Somebody’ coming out in 1967 and The Bodyguard in 1972.
But wait! Someone is fixing up the errors as we...

WatchAlastair Macaulay on the new film of Jerome Robbins’ “N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz” airing tonight on PBS:
Craig Hall and Rachel Rutherford (after discreetly leaving a diner where they have been sitting silently while friends talk) meet on the High Line in Manhattan, amid knee-high weeds and grass, and dance the fourth movement, “Passage for Two.” You get at once the feeling, so crucial to Robbins, of...

Backyard Sunday Brunch Planning
When I found out the weather was going to gorgeous this weekend, I knew it was time to host a backyard brunch. Thank goodness it’s been slow today at work so I could plan my menu:
Grilled Skirt Steak (from my new local butcher Casablanca Meat Market) with Chimichurri Sauce and Pan Fried Eggs
Jalapeno Cheese Grits (via the I-want-to-make-every-recipe-here site, Homesick Texan)
Mixed Greens...

I had two Family Circle Standing Room tickets to this, but then when I tried to “log in” to my Met Opera account, they vanished from my shopping cart. I will never again try to “log in”. This stinks. But hey, I know it can be done. Tuesday night… here I come.

Me: Just emailed it to u. Yeah, mom did a really good job. I liked how it was positive but it was also truthful and didn't sugarcoat who Lu actually was.
T: that's really good.. I shouldve elaborated more but oh well it was short an sweet
Me: No. I really liked it. U were writing for truth. I knew other people would be reading and camped accordingly. Barb's emails infected me. I *had* to compete.
