Goat!

Checking "goat" off the list of meats I have tried. This one was done by the geniuses of Stage Left, roasted whole for several hours until the meat fell off the bone. Surprisingly, it tasted like a gamey duck, tender with just a hint of chewy. Of course, it helped that the curry sauce served with it was absolutely delicious - delicate and spicy, a perfect accompaniment.

Book Splurge

The Borders going-out-of-business sale has been extremely bad for my bank account.

But very, very good for my bookshelves!

I guess the one near us is a "superstore" which is receiving stock from other locations that are closed. We keep going back each week and seeing new things to buy at very nice discounts. Man, sometimes I wish we weren't such book whores!

Another One Bites the Dust

Yet another alt-rock station in the NY/NJ area has shut down. FM 101.9 used to play everything from Pearl Jam to Cake to The Bravery. Now they play tepid soft rock. Sigh. That's the third radio station to go since we've moved here.
