Smith once told me to slow down with the martinis. The show was in Hollywood at the old Catalina Bar & Grill space. We were front/center, and there's a two drink minimum. Upon receipt of my second martini, he made the crack from the stage. I recall, too, that he was not in good health, having flown in that day from London(?) with a cold.

We are back in the deep freeze in Wisconsin tonight. 4 degrees with a wind chill of 10 below at the moment. However, we would like to state for the record that we did not send the so-called bomb cyclone your way.

We are in store for a similar freeze out. Wind, too

i'm pretty screwed if my electricity turns off. no heat; no water, once it runs out; and a very drafty, un/underinsulated apartment with only a rock foundation under part of it and nothing above most of it. it's cold near the floor even when it's 40ºf and not windy.
i'm not worried though, despite the government's comical ("bomb cyclone")efforts to make me panic.
think i'll have a drink!

Weirdest thing, I got off of work around 9pm, and my windshield was iced over (it was 31F/-1C). I had to run the car for a about 10 minutes and find a rag to scrape it off. Never had to do that in FL, especially in the early evening. It's supposed to get down to 25F/-4C tonight, should be fun... (I never had a car in NYC, but it would occasionally get cold down here when I had a car in FL my youthy years)

I am trying to remind myself that my street hasn't lost power for more than a few hours at a time in the last 30 years (according to my neighbors) except for when my tree took out the line in front of my house, and that tree/hazard is now gone.
Avatar 10:54pm
northguineahills:

Usually when it gets cold here, it's a dry cold, so there is very little moisture to freeze.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:54pm
Funky16Corners:

Yeah, the map looks like it's getting cold way down south. We lost power for more than a week after Hurricane Sandy
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:56pm
coelacanth∅:

i'm patient in the kitchen.
... i cut out the thickest parts of the stems of collards, cut them into about 1cm pieces and put them in at least 10 minutes before the rest, so they're nice and tender without overcooking the leafy parts. i add the garlic just before i turn the heat off; add the olive oil on the plate.
if i'm adding ginger i add it near the beginning.
Avatar 10:57pm

In the last 4 months I've been here, I've only lost power for 5.5 days (Hurricane Irma).

In Brooklyn, I lost power for about 30 minutes due to Sandy.

Ughh, Sandy. We are in the part of lower Manhattan that lost power for days. And we live on the ninth floor! Still, I don't wanna sound whiney, coz I know people lost homes and even lives that week.
  11:06pm
Dean:

Ekseption! Brings to mind Secret Oyster, but also Tomorrow's Gift, an early '70s krautrock band that Mary Wing's show prompted me to recall today. She played a completely unrelated album titled Tomorrow's Gift. Hadn't thought about that record for ages.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:06pm
coelacanth∅:

it's probably good, but i don't have the data in my memory to imagine what that tastes like! i loved shrimp scampi as a child. that's probably my closest reference.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:07pm
Parq:

By the way, I remember when Buddy's Place opened. It was on W.54th Street east of 5th Avenue. My high school self wanted to go there like anything. (And as the drinking age was stlil 18 in those days, I could have pulled it off. Oh, lamentations for lost opportunties.)
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:08pm
Funky16Corners:

@Parq - We're right near some of the worst Sandy destruction down in the south part of Brick and Mantoloking but all we got as some downed trees and power loss
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:09pm
Funky16Corners:

@C - I make them by cooking bacon, the sauteeing mushrooms and green onions in the grease, then dusting the shrimp in salt/pepper/flour/paprika and tossing them in the pan with some chicken stock, lemon juice and garlic. Serve them with cheese grits and hot sauce

Parq yes, perspective. just today, the firehouse siren near where i live has sounded 8 times so far. (i said this earlier but-) a month ago i would've said 2X/week is about average. i can imagine the tragedy that some of my relative neighbors might be dealing with right now.

Then run, don't walk, to Tomorrow's Gift and Release Music Orchestra, both underplayed German prog bands. Secret Oyster was Danish.

Larry, i'd guess that your collard greens are more exciting than mine too, but i do sometimes deviate and saute the stems with some onions, mushrooms, garlic to add to the steamed leafy parts.

@SBP - Yes, though I can't imagine trying to capitalize on Laugh In with a 7:23 album cut. Just having some fun, I guess.

I have nearly no experience cooking w/ dead animal products (wife's a vegan), but I'm a 'learning myself. I'm only good at cajun-style seafood boils. I just need to transfer that to my east asian fusion cooing, (my other specialty is Mexican fusion).

well, i may have in fact had something like that on xmas, now that i think about it. the wife of my older sister's son (whatever title that gives her) brought collards to our potluck festivities; and she came north from a southern,"african american" upbringing.
-and yes, they were delicious!
