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.

THL, I make a recipe like the second, but still use 3:1 oil/vin. I use Costco’s house balsamic as well, like Arkady says. I think connoisseurs would sniff at it, but it’s thick, iow, it’s really balsamic in nature. And cheap. Sometimes throw in some blue cheese.
Snappy, I’m not sure about this, but I think there are two classes of expiration dates. One is covered under the law, one is not. Milk and perishables are covered. Some stuff is not. Lately some mfgrs have decided to put ‘freshness dates’ on stuff that would last a hundred years, soda for example.
“T’is true, my dear cobbles, t’is true.”
Hooray for you! Hope it went smoothly and you are happily ensconced in the new digs!
