Yes. There is never a dull moment at any of his voluminous (and luminous) sites. I am eerily jealous, and (hopefully) inspired: Cold swollen hotdogs imprisoned in the glassy tomb of gelatin do not equal snacks, and they surely don't spell Glamour. In fact, frankfurters are generally agreed to be incapable of assuming glamour unless they are nestled in the cleavage of Grace Kelly. Even then it's arguable. I happen to have a picture of Grace that never got on the screen. Very Riviera. Ooooh. I bet the author has it too. Didja see his wife? Hotcha.

By the way, Happy Birthday to Mr Penni ~ husband of columnist. So he's the big 4-5, huh? I was that once. I think that male thing ~ oh shoot, what's it called ~ oh! midlife crisis ~ I think that is a REAL, albeit peculiar, thing. Or else I went nuts. Has he done that yet? Did he ASK you for the weeners in jello Dish?

This morning is just about the first time I've had 2 seconds to myself in almost 2 weeks... so what am I doing with all of this spare time..?? Why, I'm sitting here catching up on DAR, of course!! Just looking at the grotesque recipes that were posted here yesterday.. Now, I ask you... be honest... Who in their right mind would want to eat "Balls on Picks"?? lileks.com Sounds frigging painful and unnatural if you want my opinion... Anyhow, yeah... aren't old cookbooks a hoot... but especially ones from the 50s and early 60s. There seemed to be some fascination with cooking things in weird ways, with creepy ingredients, and to make the food have a disturbing unnatural appearance. I was just reading one recipe that instructed that you simmer something called "Puritan Dainty Meat" in ginger ale for 2 hours.... lileks.com Puh-leeeeeezzze!!! I don't even want to HEAR about it... But seriously... remember those Jiffy Pop things... little tinfoil frying pans that puffed up like atomic mushroom clouds filled with popcorn after you put them on the stove? Wonder if they even bother making them anymore now that microwave popcorn has arrived on the scene... There you go... yet another case of modern technology creating food obsolescence... Ho-hum... think I'll mosey on out to the back forty to pick some wild strawberries to pickle in a jar of Grand Marnier as a little treat for next winter... mmmmmmm...
