[Quite Early One Morning] Got Them Chicken Blues?: Fred Maytag II, son of the founder of the Maytag washing machine company, decided he wanted to make his own entrepreneurial mark on the world. Shortly before World War II, he began working with scientists at Iowa State University to begin making a great American blue cheese, modeled after those of Europe. The result was one of the first American farmstead cheeses of superior quality.

[Becksposhnosh.blogspot.com] Becks & Posh: The Ramp - 855 China Basin - San Francisco: It has to be said I am not the biggest fan of The Ramp's menu, which features, burgers, egg dishes and huge salads amongst its large list of choices. Whenever Fred suggests we go there, (more often since we moved within walking distance), my nose wrinkles up as I pull an ugly little face that illustrates acute dissatisfaction with the suggestion. It always takes me a few minutes to reconcile thoughts about the fun I will have there with the disappointment I will feel about the food, especially when I am *trying* to be healthier with my choices.

[Sterfish's Place] Fall Lineup Frenzy: Midseason Edition Part I (NBC, ABC, and The WB): The creator of “Caroline in the City” mines his own WASP family for comedy that's smart, funny and surprising. The series stars Fred Savage (“The Wonder Years”) and Jane Curtin (two-time Emmy Award winner for “Kate & Allie,” “SNL,” “3rd Rock from the Sun”) and is from the producers of “Smallville” and “One Tree Hill.”

[Musings from Brian J. Noggle] Book Report: I Can't Fight This Feeling edited by David Cassidy (2002): However, unlike other songs in the book I can hear within my head as performed by the original artist, "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" comes with a visual. A former co-worker, soon-to-be the head of the Technical Writing department, admitted that she had been a pom-pom girl in high school, and that after a couple of glasses of wine, she'd be likely to re-enact a routine based on the song. So, gentle reader, I must diss Looking Glass simply because the song can make me imagine a drunken Peggy smiling and kicking and waving imaginary or improvised poms. Although the imagery is the most vivid, I don't think Looking Glass intended that particular image.

[Becksposhnosh.blogspot.com] Becks & Posh: Another dish we opt for often is the rustic, steaming, skillet of pan-roasted mussels and clams in a piping-hot briny, garlicky broth with even more of the unctuous bulb smothering the accompanying toast points. Larger entree dishes such as fish of the day or the steak are less appealing to us. Not only might they make the dinner ultra-expensive, they just never seem to perpetuate the excitement we feel about choosing from the cheaper, more appealing list of appetizers, salads and appetizers. The sides of creamed spinach, unfortunately an extra cost-wise, are a wonderfully moreish and tasty addition to the lighter plates but would probably be too much if you ordered with an entry.

[Becksposhnosh.blogspot.com] Becks & Posh: The Ferry Plaza Wine Merchants, San Francisco, The ...: Fred and I love to visit the Ferry Plaza Wine Merchants, sometimes, on a Sunday afternoon and try a glass or flight of wine from their interesting and ever-changing menu. The staff are really friendly and sometimes even give us a free taste of a wine we might be interested in. If you aren't into football, and aren't being coerced into attending a Superbowl party, it could be somewhere you could escape to today.
