WNBA Players Will Wear Jerseys With a McDonald's Logo

a) WBA does itself no favors to be on par with Nascar. (remember the old hippie quip: women who aspire to be equal to men lack ambition?)
b) women + eating disorders + evil that is fast food = bad
c) WBA has attempted to position itself as role models for young girls. This is a serious step backward. Why not something health related like vitamins, birth control, HPV vaccine, sporting gear mfr?
d) don't see Kobe with the golden arches or CP3 with chick-fil-a...

well, that's probably enough to chew on for now...

My Bit Part as an Extra in 'Julie and Julia'

I think the Julie Julia book was not based on My Life in France, wasn't it based on Julie's project to cook each recipe from Mastering the Art of French Cooking?

My Bit Part as an Extra in 'Julie and Julia'

I just finished her Bad about My Neck book. I'm sure I could be an extra in that one! If only I had some pull....other than on the wattle, I mean!

#47, in a Sherlock Holmes coat, hm? Anyone else out there hearing the Maxwell Smart voiceover? "Salsa, I was shopping for salsa. Would you believe...?"

Ed, I think your new nom de plume should be Agent 47, after all being an extra is sort of like subterfuge, non?

Gordon Ramsay

I devised this Gordon Ramsay drinking game "Hell's Kitchen Drinking Game. Is it just me or do this season's HK contestants seem really, really piss poor?

Basically, you'd need Tivo to stop action every time or you'd miss shots. Love to hear if anyone survives a whole episode of Hell's Kitchen playing.

Like the drinking when he takes his shirt off but wasn't that just once per show?

Cheers!

Stately Scoops: What Ice Cream Flavor Represents Your State?

I've heard of lobster ice cream but I can't say it sounds appealing. We ((MA) are the home of Fluff though, and NECCO wafers. How about a Marshmallow Fluff with NECCO mix-ins?

The 'Pig Heaven Honor Roll'

From the Smokey Mountains' Artisanal Hickory Smoked Ham to Kurobuta to Spain's Iberico Pata Negro...the year of the Pig is something to celebrate.

I note that Boston is omitted from the list of cities offering great porcine products. This is a shame. From No.9 Park's sublime pork belly, to Chinatown's fabulous roast pork and barbequed pork to Somerville's ribs this is a town in love with the pig.

Benton's bacon is unbelieveable. My vegetarian next door neighbor was drooling and cursing me...the ham, too...

still looking for the best chicharonnes...

here's to our porcine friends and their sacrifice which is not under appreciated!

Cheers,
The Leather District Gourmet

My Bit Part as an Extra in 'Julie and Julia'

How fun was that?! I was in Paris June 3-8 and happened upon a side street with tight security. YES! Meryl Streep was on the set, and all I could see were black screens with a lot of crew members hanging around. If only I had known the dress code, perhaps I could have been an extra, too. Maybe next time.

@jacquilinec ...

"a) ... women who aspire to be equal to men lack ambition ..."
PTHTHTHTHTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!! ;-)

"b)" WNBA players, exercising that much, to be that good = good examples

"c)" That's something I'll agree with, though you might end up with Gucci-sponsored uniforms.

"d)" Ya' know, there's just something about Kobe that always makes me want beef ...

OH NO!...

I guess it was taken down, even though I was watching it earlier today. I hope that wasn't my fault. :(

Gordon Ramsay

@jacquelinec: Since he only takes his shirt off once per show, that should be the time when you have to finish your entire drink, no matter what's left in it.

He does that on the Fox version of RKN too! I got quickly fed up with the Fox version, though, because it seemed like the restaurants he went to were all in New York and run by men with GIANT egos. There were only one or two likable restaurant owners in the whole thing...
