  1. Sometimes MM gets confused with Miss Muffett, if we happen to post on the same thread, which isn’t often. Monty is better than some of the things I’ve been called in the past.

  2. Bxgrl;

    Again I’ll ask: has there been a serious polemic written in the Op-ed pages of the NYT in the recent past? Why do guys like Robert Reich, Paul Kennedy, Alan Blinder and Larry Summers now choose to express their views in the WSJ? Do you consider Maureen Dowd to be a serious writer? What does she do other than to put down women politicians like Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin?

    BTW: as opposed to the NYT, the WSJ is doing quite well.

    I drink cappucino in the morning!!

  3. good morning everyone.

    Bread also figured in my weekend–but it was made by someone else, namely the Muslim Uzbeks at the fabulous Cafe Kashgar in Brighton Beach.

    This is one of my favorite New York restaurants. I dream of this place when I’m in Hong Kong. The Uzbek Muslim food is like a halfway house between Chinese and Middle Eastern food.

    Anyway, the bread they serve comes in big flat rounds, it’s got a soft crust and is dense inside. It is great for dipping into their lamb broth soups. Also for sopping up the vodka, which these Uzbek muslims so graciously allow their non-halal customers to bring into the joint.
