Memory lane, Gay Street in the early 90s
Clerk: That'll be $3.71.
Customer: What? Why? Is this movie more special than the others?
Clerk: No. Your total is $3.00 for the movie plus $0.50 for rewind fee plus tax.
Customer: Rewind fee?!?
Clerk: Yes. The last three tapes which you returned had not been rewound. We had to rewind them be fore renting them out, again.
Customer: You back that 50 cents out of my bill, or I'm going to rewind you!
Clerk: Sir, madam, whatever... We don't appreciate threats, and I do not make policy. At this moment, there is no manager on duty who can take your complaint. You can pay the bill, enjoy the film you've selected, and take up the 50 cents with the manager when next your in our store, or you can leave without the movie, and I will return it to the shelves.
Customer: Your a spicy little ******, aren't you? OK, homegirl, I'm going to take door number one and watch a movie tonight.
Clerk: Your movie and receipt are in the bag. Your return date is the 29th, three days from now.
Customer: Oooo, leap year. It just makes me... I don't know [exaggerated wink]. [sashay to the door, pause with the door open and blow a kiss]

I do not know if there was a video store on S. Gay St. in the early '90s. If there was, I've no idea as to the number of gay male employees or customers. It was just a fanciful post, likely inspired by my encounter with an effeminate male at the bakery and the earlier post about VHS.

So about a month ago?, I @ Behr, to ask about ideas about cacciatore. I know it’s basically a stew and have prepared it in my work kitchen, but want to do it justice. Any ideas, please?

I started with a recipe from a Joy of Cooking (supposedly the “good“ edition) and have messed around with it the last 30 years. I’ll see if I can post it.

Here you go. I also add crushed tomatoes. It was the 1975 edition (this is a replacement copy):

memory lane, have you ever seen the old bell south cookbook? Made it’s rounds in the early 80’s. I have one that is in pieces, but love the recipes, and have some I still use.

Maybe once upon a time? My mother never was much of a cook, bless her heart, so I didn’t start cooking until I was married in 1980. Everything came from books, not kitchen wisdom.

I didn’t have that reason. My mom, grandmothers, etc, were phenomenal cooks. I never had any interest, until I was on my own, well, gotta eat.

Watched Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood last night. The movie is really about the writer and the profound effect Mr. Rogers had upon him.
