And if you overindulge, try Melba toast in the morning.

Bien sûr ! Les pâtes Tetrazzini...!! A simple cream sauce with flaked tuna poured over pasta (what else: she was Italian  ;D)

Never heard of the others though  ::).

Thanks for the link: I'll survey these recipes. I despair of ever eating the Tournedos Rossini though: so damn expensive !

Made (cooked, packed) one block away from where  I grew up. The smell...  ;D

The way the piano dude is looking so lovingly at his food. I'm still laughing.

I never put food or drink on the piano.

You can put food and drink on a piano, can't you? It's just a big piece of furniture that makes noise, isn't it? *

An instrument is not just a big piece of furniture.
I don't allow students to bang on the keys either.
It's a matter of attitude.

Mandryka posted this in the "New Releases" thread:



Maestro267 asked if this cover was a joke. That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw it.

I saw this other one of Beauty Farm recently:



and my first though was that The Sound And The Fury had tried to liven up their existing covers with some background patterns:




edit: ah...I see the connection is discussed and explained on the other thread

It might be mystical and deep and profound etc., but what I see is people performing mime.

They're woeful. I gather from some previous commentary that the performances can be quite good, but surely their sales suffer because people see the cheap amateurish artwork and inevitably assume it reflects a cheap amateurish recording.
I am now working on a discography of the works of Vagn Holmboe. Please visit and also contribute!

Well, I guess this is the kind of repertoire that appeals to people who know what they are doing and couldn't care less about the design. We arent't exactly overflowing with high-class choices. Still, I wish they would choose something more classy.

The Pipelare album is simply stunning and groundbreaking:



I wish they would get on with vol 2.

Hey, back at ya', buddy!

I like Conor71's "I  like old Music" signature.

I can see Squintin' Greg as a movie star. I can especially see him in a Western.

Actually, he reminds me of Gary Sinise.
