Pasta Cacio E Pepe: So simple yet so good!

My latest favorite recipe find is a super simple but very tasty pasta dish.



Boil spaghetti noodles (I prefer angel hair) in heavily salted water until al dente (7-8 minutes or so).

Drain noodles and plate immediately.

Grate tons of pecarino romano cheese (available in the specialty cheese section of your grocery store) on top of the noodles and then a generous portion of freshly ground black pepper.

Add a spoonful or so of the still-hot pasta water and toss. (The heat of the noodles will melt the cheese)

Looking for 60's and 70's classic tv?

I found a site that features a lot of "classic" tv from the 60's and 70's.
With summer realty shows taking over, this is a great place to go back in time.
The site features shows of at least a full season, and has a mix of drama and comedy.
Remember Lou Grant? He's there along with Bob Newhart, the old Dragnet series, and of course-the classic Voyage to The Bottom Of The Sea.
It also has some current shows like 30 Rock and the now canceled Studio 60.
The site is www.hulu.com.
If you need a fix-this is the place
Whats your guilty pleasure when it comes to old shows?
Mine is Dragnet


Recording firsts

Early recordings always amaze me. It may be because we operate at such a sensory level now with regard to information -- we need both audio and moving pictures, or at the very least, photographs.

The past, seldom has any of the above. So whenever, a "first" is released regarding sound or images, it always bridges a gap between then and now.


Congrats Kevin Garnett!

Well Kevin Garnett won't go in the record books as one of those great players without a championship ring. Last night, KG help lift the Boston Celtics to victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

He was jubilant - crying tears of joy and giving shout outs to friends and family across the country - including "Sota."


Is anyone using a HD Antenna?

I'm thinking of getting off Comcast and getting the HD channels for free using an antenna. Is anyone in the area using an antenna? What is your signal/reception like, espcially the HD channels? Do you miss Comcast? Is it an indoor or outdoor antenna? Thank you.

Expressions of Wellness Massage

There is something special about seeing my clients after we've finished the massage and they have a look like they have just woken up... "You have angels on your walls, and in your hands..." is a comment from a client who'd been told that nothing was wrong... that the client was a hypochondriac... this client is no longer held back from their health, or treated differently by their friends and family.
