All My Children Says Goodbye [tv]

After a 41-year run on daytime television, ABC's "All My Children" is saying farewell.

The show premiered on January 5, 1970 and aired its last episode yesterday, Friday September 23, 2011. Many are mourning the show's departure, with Perez Hilton and others calling it "the end of an era."

The show will be replaced by a new food-centered lifestyle show called "The Chew."

Moving Back to SF [life stuff]

I can't believe Meghan and I are moving back to the Bay area in 14 days! There is much packing to do.

We will be moving to the East Bay but hope to find a place in The City or perhaps Fairfax in the next few months.


I am going to become a master packer having to move around so much!

Tomato Cream Sauce [recipes]

I recently posted a couple photos of my signature tomato cream sauce, and was asked to write out the recipe, so here it is!
Tomato Cream Sauce

1 garlic clove, chopped
½ onion, chopped
1 tomato, chopped (optional)
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
½ cup fresh parmesan cheese
basil, chopped (or parsley)(optional)
salt and pepper (to taste)
olive oil (or butter)

Saute garlic, onion, and basil in olive oil in medium saucepan until onions and garlic are nearly done. Add can of tomato sauce, let simmer for 5 minutes. Add heavy cream, integrate thoroughly into tomato sauce mixture. Add fresh diced tomatoes now if desired.


Stir in handfuls of parmesan cheese, integrating fully with the sauce before adding more. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spinach also can be added to make a more hearty sauce.


Enjoy!

SJ Crawfish looks dirty Southern good, and since it is in the Sunset, I don't have any excuse not to try it.

Vagina Muff-ins.

These muffins look delicious, and not only because they are vagina muff-ins. I want to try and make these sometime. Not having an oven makes the whole baking thing difficult.


What you'll need:

2 eggs, beaten

3 very ripe bananas, mashed

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup Splenda

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease or line 10 muffin cups.

2. In a medium bowl, combine eggs and bananas. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, sugar and baking soda. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.

William Ayers in San Francisco.

I'm disappointed I missed William Ayers last night at The Green Arcade in San Francisco.

I was first introduced to William Ayers via his involvement in the Weather Underground, a 1960's militant student political organization.

Video Games through the Ages.

I really want the Magnavox Odyssey and the Telstar. Like mad.





The Telstar is "the most exciting game you will ever see on your TV ," don't you know?



Also, I would feel it almost blasphemous if I didn't mention the Atari. I had an Atari. I had an Atari because I was bad ass.
