One of the questions I get asked most often is: do you eat bread?

And people are usually surprised when I say that bread is one of my favorite things to eat. Of course I eat bread! I love the smell of fresh bread in the morning, whole grains, and all of the ways you can use bread in recipes.

Bread has gotten a really bad reputation because of various diet fads: no-carb, ...

Tonight I'll be reading from Sack Nasty.at an Open Mic and Poetry Event in Culver City. I am featuring, which means they're giving me the stage for half an hour!

Whilst looking into the Electric Universe stuff, I ran up against the Thunderbolts of the Gods i.e. proto-Saturn, issue. Now that I've sorta 'got over that' with enough evidence to at least consider it as a possibility, can it really be time to resurrect my support for Neal Adams lovable Expanding Earth theory?

For those of you who don't know, in 2007, Neal Adams proposed an idea ...

The Main-Stream Media has generally ignored Hillary’s health issues.  But the issue is gaining traction on the Internet.

UNICEF Celebrity Advocate for Children Anne Curtis calls on runners to join the second year of the Heroes for Children Run on September 4, 2016, Sunday, at the SM Mall of Asia grounds.

“I was deeply inspired by the support we received during last year’s run. From children with disabilities to serious runners, the public came together for a great cause. This year, I’m inviting everyone once again to be a hero for children. All proceeds will benefit UNICEF’s First 1,000 Days ...

more observations in the USA (Chicago):
* the situation with the meshulachim is not nearly as bad as I have heard it made out to be. I might be wrong, and maybe this is just a quiet season for them, maybe they don't travel now because people are on vacation, I don't know. but it does not seem so bad. Some days there are none in shul, some days there are a few. Either way, it is far less than what we get in Israel on a daily basis.
* people are extremely generous. They give to all ...

Happy Sunday!!

Speaking of the end of summer, Tuesday was our last day of babysitting for my friend. Her son has charmed the entire family in the few hours we watched him each week. Holly would cuddle with him, and Connor would play peek-a-boo; seriously, there is nothing better than watching your kids grow comfortable with babies. Jim had a blast taking him for long walks with the dog, as the two “chatted” about the scenery. Tallulah in particular is going to miss him ...

Cici has been enjoying these earth friendly new toys and she especially likes the squeaky ones. there is such diversity in the types of toys plus they are just plain fun and doggie mamas and papas can feel good about the ingredients that they are made with and how they are made. Affordable too. Every day is dog day, right.

To the horror of many (usually in the South of England and all over the USA) I was brought up with Black Pudding. It's almost better not to ask what's in it, but basically it's pig's blood and other stuff. I wrote about it a few years ago at the BBC America web site. 

It has an "earthy" taste to say the least, and is what one would say an "acquired taste". It was also largely a breakfast staple, and sometimes supper. In parts of the northwest of England by the way, black pudding is more of... Читать дальше...

Ek Bar has raised the bar really high for Sunday Brunches by other places. The restaurant that works around Indian-inspired food and cocktails has little left to be improved upon; everything is par excellence. With a table brunch that offers unlimited repeats of the dishes and food, and quality that's unparalleled, I think it's high time the focus moves from quantity in a buffet to quality in a buffet for all restaurants. Ek Bar is doing a great job in setting that example through their Sunday Brunch. Читать дальше...

With some heavy afternoon and ...

Welcome to Compassionate Sunday. We're working through Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life by Karen Armstrong, one step per month.

Sirach 3:17-18

My child, conduct your affairs with humility,
and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts.
Humble yourself the more, the greater you are,
and you will find favor with God.

The opposite of humility is narcissism or grandiosity — the exaltation and excessive love of your self. As such, narcissism is an offense against God because it violates the first of the Ten Commandments:

“I am the Lord your God: you shall not have strange gods before me.”

A Story Yet Unwritten

Having just seen Barbershop: The Next Cut, my next profile is Ice Cube, who I was surprised had a bunch of films I’ve never seen. I’m surprised I haven’t seen 20 films with Ice Cube yet. I feel like I have because he’s been around for so long now. 20+ years in film. Not bad.

David Talbott explores the old historical myths (randomly updated via local variation and adaptation) that seem to describe a sky that bears little or no relation to the sky we see today... what could have inspired such (order after chaos) Creation Myths that populate all phases of early man's civilisation? I've been researching the Electric Universe over the last few years and this is one aspect ...

Walsall goalkeeper Liam Roberts and central defender Theo Vassell are currently on-loan with Vanarama National League side Chester, and were both named in the matchday squad as the Blues took on Sutton United on Saturday afternoon.
Liam Roberts was named on the bench, with Jon Worsnop starting between the sticks, but Theo Vassell, who joined the Saddlers from Oldham Athletic, started the game in the center of defence as he continues to gain some ...

A little time out of figure drawing and oil painting.

After a long weekend spent in New York and Connecticut, I came back with a wealth of photos of cityscapes I was eager to use for drawing and painting studies.

I started to work on the photographs at first and felt like opening the pastel box.Walking off Brooklyn Park, I was attracted by the docks and the smooth blue atmosphere surrounding us.

It led to this pastel, a small study :
