The 20th anniversary of the release of Spike Lee’s ground-breaking movie Do The Right Thing, which dealt with a day in the life of a block in Bed Stuy, and in so doing brought the multi-layered issues of gentrification race coexistence and conflict in the inner city to a broader national audience. Two decades later, how much has changed and how much remains the same?
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar (not necessary but I like it)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
3/4 cup olive oil
salt/pepper
or
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
I like to make it the day before so the flavors meld.
Fairway has good, reasonably-priced Balsamic – can’t remember the name but it’s a mid-range one: not the cheapest & not the most expensive. May even have been their house brand. I’m using some a friend brought so I don’t have it to check. (CostCo also has a remarkably good house brand one, too.)
Randolph, dont let folks run you out of here! Stick around and try to have some fun like the rest of us.
Arkady…I guess 7 is picky about whose side they’ll get on? 🙂 I’m gonna call 311 when I get home from work today.
It suddenly looks like all hell is gonna break loose outside…so dark so fast!
and, yes, i am definately PLUSA of the day, week and month.
Oooh…are my foodies still out there? I need a rec. for a good and authentic Italian Balsamic Vinegar. My good friend brought me some back from Italy last summer and now I’ve used it all up 🙁 Any good ideas of brands I could order via Fresh Direct or find at Trader Joe’s or Fairway? Those are the only stores I can really see myself going to with my foot this way.
“hey randi, does my obituary make you :~(”
wtf are you talking about? i really signed off, but have been forced to return in order to defend my legacy.
Snappy – I’ve had good luck w/ 311 – maybe ask about being put through to consumer affairs. I’ve had no luck getting 7 On Your Side on my side.
Thanks Snappy. I have written down his name. I do not think I will get to it before weekend, but will try to sort it out next week. I will post on here before I go. Appreciate the help!
Yeah, BHO, someone’s manipulating Case & Schiller.
Why do the nutcases always resort to conspiracy theory when the data isn’t going their way???????
