my cole slaw is fairly traditional. cabbage, carrots, some onion, a bit of vinegar and some mayo. used Duke'smayo this time. imo, the key to good cole slaw is salting and draining and rinsing the carrot/cabbage/onion base. | |

Wed. 8/1/18 7:32pm

Duke's Mayo -- that's a new one to me, I'm not sure if I've seen a jar | |

I'm with glenn on the mayo business | |
Wed. 8/1/18 8:18pm
Jill B.:
I don't know of any other mayonnaise than Best Foods. Nothing seems to taste like that brand, and I'm afraid I'm getting too old to acquire a taste for any other kind of mayo. But.............. | |

i'm very pro mayo. and these days i think that means we all need to decamp into our respective pro and anti positions and lob bombs at each othr for all eternity! | |

Mayo bombs. | |

War is Hellman's. I was off mayo as a kid. Fine with it as an adult, then decided it had a weird effect and was off again for many years. Partially back to it recently. A mayo yo-yo tolerance thing.. | |
Wed. 8/1/18 8:21pm

And I'm with Jill B. It's Best Foods or nothing for me, thanks. (Or Hellman's of course) | |

I don't see too many movies. Maybe one or two per year if that. Which Wong Kar-wai film would be a good start? And do you think it would be available on Netflix? | |
Wed. 8/1/18 9:28pm
tim abdellah:
I'd like a recommendation too - I'm not familiar with his work either. | |

Wed. 8/1/18 9:29pm

rw, I think start with either Chungking Express or In the Mood for Love ... I don't know if either is on Netflx, tho -- but they are easily found, I gotta believe | |
Wed. 8/1/18 9:29pm
northguineahills:
I forgot to mention, Chungking Express is a fave movie of mine. My freshmen year of uni, I somehow got to sit on the voting board (had an older friend who vouched for me) of the film club, and I voted to get it filmed at the university cinema... for two weeks. It was a hit. That's my recommendation. | |

Fuck. It's F16C. I forgot about Testify! I've been waiting to do my required bike ride until it cools off here. I may have to miss a bit of something. Ride takes a little over an hour. Too much compelling radio. No wonder I don't see movies. Thanks Gary! I think there's a library around here somewhere... | |
