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?
“who do you complain to when a store consistently sells expired items and goes as far as wiping off expiration dates so that you can’t tell it’s expired?”
Hey, you’re a lawyer….SUE them!! AHA HAH HAHAAHAHAHHAHAHA HA HAHHHA HA!
I’m sorry Snappy, I had to do that. I’m OK now.
“obnoxious Euro tourists in front of Balthazar right now blocking the sidewalk while looking really confused”
The very DEFINITION of that word I like to use! But, after last week’s racial strife here I think I’ll retire it for a while.
gemini I agree with Snappy, never seen them there. Union Market does tho.
Pretty good Snappy, recovering from spending the early 1/2 of the day in Surrogate Court with some elderly friends of mine. INSANE. 5 attorneys literally standing around doing nothing in a hallway waiting for a public administrator to show up—ours was snagged by another judge for some reason and we had to wait for a new one to show up. It took 5 hours for a 1 hour hearing. We got there at 9am and finished at 2pm. Massive waste of everyones time! How do you stand it?
insert – ah ok thanks
I will try
am making quesadillas tonight but wanted to just buy a roasted chicken so it’s a bit quicker than making roasted chicken breast from scratch
which cereal?
Speaking of grocery stores…who do you complain to when a store consistently sells expired items and goes as far as wiping off expiration dates so that you can’t tell it’s expired? Is that the Dept. of Consumer Affairs?
Gem, I’ve never seen roasted chickens there but that doesn’t mean they dont have any…I’ll be there tonight coincidentally! I’m out of cereal 🙁
Hey Cobble 🙂 How goes it?
Recipe Question –
Does anyone know if pork belly cooks up well on a coal bbq? i’ve only made it a few times, but slow roasted it.
parents are having a bbq this weekend and wanna bring some sausages and stuff for the grill from marlow and daughters
