Reintroducing myself here with a few of my loves: first, bread baking, especially this Georgian bread that’s filled with about 2lbs of cheese that is then topped and mixed with egg yolks and butter right out of the oven.
Having friends at SF Ballet in the 90s, I saw many a spectacular Nutcracker but then I fell hard for Morris’ Hard Nut and since then it’s not caught my eye.The @pbs.org #GreatPerformances broadcast of the English National Ballet’s is STELLAR. From concept to design -it’s a new fave.

Now would be a perfect time to introduce yourself to the best Christmas episode of the 80s (of all time?) the #Moonlighting episode “T’was the Episode Before Christmas.” A groundbreaking, breaking-the-4th-wall episode that is as sweet as it is festive. A definite favorite.

Happy 100 to one of the true greats!
Also, this film is a freakin’ marvel in 1000 ways. Its blending of mediums is seamless - we take so much for granted today. Imagine being 9 and seeing this on a screen in 1964. I would have believed it it all actually happened.

Happy 27th first listening day Beck’s Midnight Vultures - an album that hasn’t left
My rotation since I bough the CD and listened to it twice as I sat in traffic trying to get home from SF on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. One of the great party album, it sounds as fresh today as it did then.

Y’all! Jimmy Kimmel’s interview with Kate Beckinsale is one of THE most bat-shit crazy interviews of the modern era. It was either a master class of improv or psychosis as storytelling. Will be remembered for years.

Someone posted recently about the price of concert tickets back of the day and was curious what I paid - and, of course i kept all my old ones.
What a time to be alive that was!

Maybe I didn’t read the fine print, but I had NO idea that Danny Elfman himself was a guest singer at the fantastic SF Symphony concert celebrating his collabs with Tim Burton. He sang all the Jack Skellington songs during the Nightmare/Christmas set and sounded GREAT! What a treat!

I feel the need to advocate for sugar free Jell-O. Made some earlier — quick jel style —with bananas, mandarin oranges, and pomegranates… and it was Michelin star x10.

There is so much to unpack in this ad that we’d need a two-day Oprah special to cover it all.

I just don’t know why everyone isn’t watching The Diplomat - it’s one of the true great joys of all things scripted entertainment - film or broadcast or streaming. It’s a must-see.

I worked an outdoor family Halloween event today - probably a good 3,000 folks of all ages. I really thought this was going to be the year of Elphaba and Glinda costumes - but I was wrong. K-Pop Demon Hunters were HUGE with the girls. Dinosaurs were big with the boys. Pixar was big with groups. 🤷🏻
