WHITE RUSSIAN CUPCAKES White Russians Cupcakes? No Dude doesn’t make them. There’re Maudy’s little invention. Even though she doesn’t live with The Dude, she likes him quite a bit. Heck, he helped her conceive. So Maude felt like showing a little gratitude. Knowing how much Jeffrey (as Maude calls him) loves his Kahlua, Maude created this in honor of his Dudeness, “The Other Jeffrey Lebowski,” a.k.a. The Dude. “They’re right tasty,” as The Cowboy Stranger would say, and quite easy to make. Enjoy em!

ARMY BASE STEW

Ingredients

for the dashi stock:

  • 6 cups water
  • 1-2 dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 6 dried anchovies, head and innards removed (if you can’t find dried anchovies, substitute 3 tbsp fish sauce)
  • 1 sheet dried kelp (kombu)
  • for sauce:
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp Korean red pepper paste (gochujang)
  • 1-2 tbsp Korean red pepper powder (gochugaru) (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine (optional)
  • generous pinch black pepper (optional)
  • for the stew:
  • 1 cup cabbage, chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped kimchi, well-fermented
  • 2 scallions, chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 2 hot dogs or 2 oz Polish kielbasa, sliced
  • 4 oz Spam (1/3 can, or more if you prefer)
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup dduk (Korean rice cakes, optional)
  • 4-6 oz tofu, sliced (1/2 package, optional)
  • 1/4 cup baked beans (optional)
  • 1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 1-2 packets ramen
  • slices of white American cheese or mozzarella, for topping

Instructions :

  1. If using duk, place it in a bowl with plenty of cold water and let soak while you prepare everything else.
  2. Prepare the stock. Combine 6 cups water, mushrooms, anchovies, and dried kelp in a large 5-6 quart pot, or a hot pot if you have one. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and let simmer for 5 minutes, then remove kelp. If using anchovies, let simmer for another 5 minutes, then remove anchovies.
  3. Meanwhile, mix together the sauce ingredients (garlic, gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, rice wine, and pepper) in a small bowl.
  4. Place the cabbage, onion, kimchi, scallions, and sliced meat into the simmering broth, then place the ground beef in the center. If using, also add the dduk, sliced tofu, beans, and mushrooms. Pour the sauce over top. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 10 minutes, or until ground beef is cooked. Stir the ground beef to break it up into smaller pieces. You can leave the other ingredients in a ring around the beef for presentation, or just mix it all up.
  5. Add the ramen to the center of the broth and cook for 2-3 minutes more, until noodles are soft. Top with American cheese or mozzarella if desired, and enjoy immediately!

Gwyneth Palthrow Won't Eat Octopus

Screen Shot 2017-03-23 at 1.34.43 PM.png

GWYNETH WON'T EAT OCTOPUS BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO SMART

While musing with Goop co-workers on a group Slack chat, Gwyneth Paltrow made a pretty salient point about not eating octopus.  
In a screenshot of the conversation that made the rounds via Twitter on Sunday, the 44-year-old actress argued against eating the sea creature. 
“Octopus are too smart to be food,” she wrote. “They have more neurons in their brains than we do. I had to stop eating them because I was so freaked out by it. They can escape from sea world and shit by unscrewing drains and going out to sea.”    Screen Shot 2017-03-23 at 1.27.18 PM.png

GWYNETH PALTHROW Tweets She Won't EAT OCTOPUS

Screen Shot 2017-03-23 at 1.35.26 PM.png

The conversation later expanded to cover whether squid, a fellow cephalopod, is OK to eat or not, though opinions were more divided on that topic. 
The incident Paltrow mentions about an octopus escaping to the sea is true, though it didn’t happen at Sea World and it didn’t unscrew a drain. In 2016, an octopus named Inky escaped from his home at the National Aquarium of New Zealand. According to a New York Times article documenting his escape, Inky went through the top of his tank, slithered eight feet across the floor, then made his way down a 164-foot-long pipe to the sea. 
Many other octopus escapes have been documented over the years, some by unscrewing tanks or wiggling out of tight spaces. 
“Octopuses are highly evolved and specialized,” Roger Hanlon, a professor at Brown and senior scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, said in a Live Science article. “They have the largest, most complex brain of any invertebrate animals on Earth.”
Some, like Paltrow, argue people shouldn’t consume octopuses because of their genes (they have around 10,000 more than humans) or their neuron count. Though as a report from Scientific American states, octopuses have 500 million neurons, while a human has around 100 billion (so Paltrow was actually incorrect when she said octopuses have more neurons than humans).
People eat octopus all around the world. In South Korea, some people eat live octopus as part of a traditional dish. Certain restaurants in the United States ― mostly found in California and New York City ―  serve octopus live.

“Gwyneth was right, octopuses are highly intelligent and self-aware, and are notorious escape artists,” Ingrid Newkirk, the president of PETA, told HuffPost. “Scientists have verified that octopuses are capable of experiencing pain: Like humans, dogs, and pigs, octopuses have well-developed nervous systems, try to escape painful stimuli, and nurse their wounds.”
She added, “Octopus expert Dr. Jennifer Mather has stated that ‘There is absolutely no doubt that they feel pain,’ and explained that an octopus who is being eaten alive is in just as much pain as a pig, fish, or rabbit would be.”

in the World and the early and Mid 60s, there was often the question of who was your personal 

favorite or who was better The BEATES or The DC5 ?? Actually they were both Great 

Groups, so as Whoopi Goldberg said in the Great Documentary on THE DB5 

"CATCH US IF YOU CAN" "why did we have to choose? Couldn't we Love them both? "

BETTER COME UP with Something Soon !!!







SCARFACE MEXICAN DISHWASHER OSCAR

Long Version



This is one of the first videos I ever made, way back in 2003 ... 
Youtube didn't even exist yet, but I was always interested in film making, making
videos etc.. 

At the time I was The Wine Director at Barbetta Restaurant in New York  ... 

When working in the restaurant business you always work with some interesting characters .. 

One of the guys I work with was a person named Oscar Reyas who came from Chapas Mexico ..

Oscar had a dream, to learn to speak English so he could get a better paying job in a 
resort hotel in Mexico and maybe one day moving to America and New York .. He did both.

So when I met Oscar we were both working at Barbetta Restorante, Oscar as a dishwasher and I as the Wine Director of the single greatest Italian Wine List in the United States ..
I often chit chatted with Oscar about this and that and this is how I learned of his story. I asked Oscar if he would like to make a little movie telling his story. He agreed and so it began. I never got that far, but it did begin and I did get some good footage, and so here it as. At least something did become of it .. I give you Oscar The Mexican Dishwasher and all around wonderful human being. Enjoy !
