Mon. 12/1/08 12:20pm From: Liz B.

Homemade cranberry sauce, candied sweet potatoes, pecan pie...

Mon. 12/1/08 12:20pm From: Parq

My wife's old family recipe calls for the bird to be stuffed with ground meat, sausage, green olives and a tomato sauce with herbs. Can't beat that with a tire iron.

Mon. 12/1/08 12:20pm From: dc pat

also Kasteel Rouge..belgian beer.

Mon. 12/1/08 12:21pm From: annie

Liz this Bardo Pond song is just what I needed.

Scott, you must be a fellow Southerner.

Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake also for me. Wish I had some left over.

Mon. 12/1/08 12:25pm From: Swami

Space Needle!

Mon. 12/1/08 12:25pm From: annie

i missed any big family dinner this year. i would love to have a heavy helping of leftover fried dressing and mashed potatoes topped with two over medium eggs.. my fave tradition...

Mon. 12/1/08 12:27pm From: marionfrenchie

had my first best thanksgiving party, a franco-american one, with all kinds of yummy homemade thanksgiving dishes brought by every american expat' guest. pumpkin pie, turckey with yummy stuffing, cranberry sauce, candies sweet potatoes, apple pie, green beans in its cream and mushroom sauce... memorable.

Mon. 12/1/08 12:28pm From: stingy d

aso had a taste testing of 10 or 15 different ice cream's from here: http://jenisicecreams.com/

Mon. 12/1/08 12:28pm From: annie

norman rockwell eh!!

Mon. 12/1/08 12:28pm From: marionfrenchie

although it's still difficult for me to appreciate pumpkin pie!!!

Mon. 12/1/08 12:30pm From: stingy d

Salty Caramel, Honey Vanilla Bean, Queen City Cayenne , Black Coffee, Ohio Heirloom Pumpkin and Mascarpone, Buttercream Chocolate Freckles, Crème Fraîche with Amarena Cherries, and Riesling Poached Pear Sorbet... maybe more dunrememba

Mon. 12/1/08 12:32pm From: dc pat

sounds good annie. i'm going to try that next year. I had some killer brew from here:
http://www.abcbrew.com/index_flash.htm
Most notably Chocolate Cherry Porter, YUM!

Mon. 12/1/08 12:33pm From: annie

what recession!????!!seems we all ate pretty damn well..

Mon. 12/1/08 12:33pm From: stingy d

creme fraiche with amarena cherries was easily the best ice cream my life ever had.

Mon. 12/1/08 12:33pm From: dc pat

I like when Vikki and Ergo sing.

Mon. 12/1/08 12:34pm From: Doug from DC

Not much traditional food for me this Thanksgiving. But I had some cool Sudanese chicken, the four-flavor bowl from Pho Cyclo (best banh bowl ever), and a bunch of Indian buffet.

Mon. 12/1/08 12:35pm From: marionfrenchie

@annie- except everyone is now gonna be on a strict pasta diet until christmas!

Mon. 12/1/08 12:36pm From: dc pat

I was just thinking of what lunch I can buy for $5

Mon. 12/1/08 12:36pm From: paw

ahh can't wait for xiu xiu

XD

Mon. 12/1/08 12:36pm From: Ike

Wow, Sudanese chicken? Doug, I take it you've been perusing Tyler Cowen's restaurant guide.

My mom makes awesome cranberry sauce. Plus I brought her some very spicy Sichuan dried beef from Queens. She loves Sichuan peppercorns.

Mon. 12/1/08 12:37pm From: annie

personally, i'm gonna try and wrangle an invite to a big bash and eat for three days with copious bottles of wine.. my latest fave being malbec

Mon. 12/1/08 12:38pm From: Doug from DC

A friend introduced me to El Khartoum Sudanese restaurant in Adams Morgan. No hope for dieting until the holidays are over. Better start working it off.

Mon. 12/1/08 12:41pm From: Ike

Also, that Sun Araw track blew my mind away. And I've never heard Vicki sing before. That was cool.

Marion Frenchie is right -- pasta and rice may rule most of December.

Doug (and others in D.C.), check this out:

Mon. 12/1/08 12:42pm From: IntangibleArts

Doug; Thanks for that; must dig me some El Khartoum!

Mon. 12/1/08 12:42pm From: stingy d

hey liz - are you a chicago based guitarist or a maker of art-quilts?

Mon. 12/1/08 12:45pm From: GP

Stingy..maybe she is BOTH...whoah!

Mon. 12/1/08 12:45pm From: Liz B.

Singy, you found my evil name twins on the internets!

Mon. 12/1/08 12:46pm From: Liz B.

I must admit, I am very much tempted to purchase a Liz Berg Band t-shirt on cafe press...

Mon. 12/1/08 12:46pm From: Doug from DC

Thanks, Ike. Taking a quick look, I've eaten at a lot of these places, but there are some really interesting ones here I haven't heard of.

Mon. 12/1/08 12:49pm From: dc pat

dc peops: you've all been to Amsterdam Falafal house right? It's pretty amazing but they need plates.

Mon. 12/1/08 12:49pm From: Doug from DC

Liz, there's a novelist too.

Mon. 12/1/08 12:52pm From: Doug from DC

I've been to Amsterdam Falafel, but it was around 2 or 3am and my memories of it are kind of vague. A friend and I are still looking for the best Falafel in DC. 24/7 isn't bad, and El Khartoum's is good too.

Mon. 12/1/08 12:54pm From: Liz B.

Ha ha, yes, my novelist name twin made it to Oprah's book club! Victory is ours, Liz Bergs unite!

Mon. 12/1/08 12:55pm From: stingy d

http://tinyurl.com/mestingyyou

Mon. 12/1/08 12:55pm From: dc pat

well Amsterdam is close to the best--really good w/ that huge bar of fixin's. The fries are amazing too....but they need plates. I like Astor's pizza too in AdMorg--not for the pizza but all the other Egyptian-oriented food.

Mon. 12/1/08 12:57pm From: Bad Ronald

This Dune tune is nice...

Mon. 12/1/08 12:57pm From: marionfrenchie

Mon. 12/1/08 12:58pm From: annie

Mon. 12/1/08 1:01pm From: Parq

Next year in Shaker Heights!

Mon. 12/1/08 1:01pm From: marionfrenchie

Mon. 12/1/08 1:02pm From: annie

yaya herman dune

Mon. 12/1/08 1:05pm From: Doug in DC

Does anyone have the scoop on Conrad Schnitzler at No Fun Fest in January? Is he making an appearance or is someone performing in his place?

Mon. 12/1/08 1:05pm From: marionfrenchie

that's the brother still in the band. He is quite the character.

Mon. 12/1/08 1:06pm From: Paul B

Liz, If you have it - could you please play the Cobra Verde version of "Never my Love.'

Mon. 12/1/08 1:09pm From: marionfrenchie

Mon. 12/1/08 1:11pm From: Doug in DC

Sorry, No Fun is in May, tickets go on sale in January.

Mon. 12/1/08 1:11pm From: GP

Stingy, I though I was the only one who read that rag, One of my cousins put me on the email list for it and now I get it once a week.

You think that is bad, my double in name only is a drag preformer in Vegas!

Mon. 12/1/08 1:12pm From: john

My name is too common, there are bajillions of us, even if several of them are me.

Mon. 12/1/08 1:13pm From: pat radio

My most prominent name twin is the Pat Leonard who produced a whole bunch of records, Madonna among them.

Mon. 12/1/08 1:14pm From: dc pat

my name twins are a bunch of freakin nerds and an English soccer player.

Mon. 12/1/08 1:16pm From: Liz B.

GP wins! A drag performer in Vegas just about trumps all name twins.

Mon. 12/1/08 1:16pm From: jamie

I have an ex-NBA player, an ex-soccer player (who I am constantly getting facebooked to see if I am this person, at least before I had my real pic up.A professional golfer in my same town. Apparently all athletic ability went to all these other Jamies.

Mon. 12/1/08 1:17pm From: stingy d

Mon. 12/1/08 1:17pm From: annie

Mon. 12/1/08 1:19pm From: Jeff Mulllan

I can teach you about your psychic abilities at my website.
And if you count Geoff Mullen, i make music too

Mon. 12/1/08 1:22pm From: jamie

Nope, stingy d. Here's another hint, in the 90's my namesake was in the slamdunk contest. I wish I had that PA announcement as a ringtone

Mon. 12/1/08 1:24pm From: stingy d

i guess my basketball knowledge is limited... i could've sworn you played for the nets around then. you must have last 3 years in the league - maybe less

Mon. 12/1/08 1:24pm From: dc pat

I love it when Liz B starts playing stupid music. I feel like she's playing tunes for me personally..

Mon. 12/1/08 1:24pm From: detroitdave

Hey, thre's only 1 of me and it IS me...........hmmmm...??

Mon. 12/1/08 1:25pm From: GP

Yea Liz, I should go a Liza next Hallowee, just so he does not get all the credit!
A buddy of mine also used my name as his "on-air" personality for doing the morning commuter traffic reports from the news chopper.

Mon. 12/1/08 1:38pm From: Parq

GP wins again? He won on Benjamin's show too. You are sweeping the field, son.

Mon. 12/1/08 1:38pm From: Doug from DC

Cool, back to the 7" records. I found some great ones this weekend: Tunnelvision's "Watching the Hydroplanes" on clear vinyl (FAC 39) and The Raincoats cover of "Running Away" b/w "No One's Little Girl."

Mon. 12/1/08 1:39pm From: dlp

best things about north carolina are Asheville and the mountains near by, and the waves on the other side of the state.

Mon. 12/1/08 2:25pm From: Jeff M

If those snarky musicians want some tasty Mexican food (and happen to be in JC some day other than Monday), there's always Taqueria Downtown. Not a burrito joint per se, explicitly a taco joint. And closed Monday.

http://www.allmenus.com/menus/55287/Taqueria-Downtown

Mon. 12/1/08 2:28pm From: Jeff M

NC: pine trees. Sincere hippies selling crafts at the Eno River festival.

Mon. 12/1/08 2:41pm From: Jason

Mon. 12/1/08 2:49pm From: stingy d

Mon. 12/1/08 2:53pm From: stingy d

Mon. 12/1/08 2:54pm From: GP

Mon. 12/1/08 8:25pm From: partner of the brown-nosed tombgoon's apprentice

(i'm have school so i cant participate in playlist commenting in an expedient time. i'm sure no one reads this after the fact...)
you're an inspiration to us all. that we should all carry on. freely. and with little remorse.
i havent got to the xiu xiu part yet. that'll be exciting. bye.

Mon. 12/1/08 8:44pm From: gargamel pookie norfleet

have you ever thought of joining your name into one name? hmmm, Lizberg, have you? it would be so Vienese! this would be your middle name, by which your biopic would be named. (that's what they call biography movies?) Alessandrealouisa Lizberg Muthrushesvaszstille.
"Lizberg: portrait of a genius"
you could play a Baroque period turntablist in the big booty dress like they wore. kiera knightly would play your best friend who is a way-before-her-time go-go dancer. have you seen wave twisters? you could have a victrola wristwatch!

dude, you could have a victrola wristwatch.
