Thursday thirteen

1. I met a King Charles Cavalier cocker spaniel named Lucy last night, with white-and-butterscotch coloring.
2. I have also become friends with 2 cats on 26th Street.
3. Their names are unpronounceable.
4. Fall is my favorite season.
5. I often fear that I would have a favorite child (if I have children).
6. Kale is one of my favorite vegetables.
7. My college roommate is coming to visit this weekend.
8. I'm planning to make vegan banana-blueberry pancakes for us on Saturday morning.
9. I like the penguins and polar bears at the zoo best.
10. And, of course, pandas -- when they're available.
11. One of my guilty pleasures is the Def Leppard song, "Photograph."
12. One of my standby dishes is penne, kale and white beans.
13. If I had to pick a favorite restaurant in Manhattan, it would be Angelica Kitchen.

Last weekend I made a dish called "Tuscan Spaghetti", spaghetti with kale, white beans, diced tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil. It was good, but I still love the rigatoni with zucchini recipe. ;)

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
