There's a newish place on the north side called Istanbul Café that has various kabobs and other Turkish/Mediterranean/Near Eastern fare.<BR/><BR/>Jackson has not doubled in size, but he does smile a bit now and has started to (sort of) giggle. I got a couple of pictures of him smiling today, and those will be going up on the blog, by and by.John Peddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00062482419412857588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34194333.post-49239377506458539142007-09-24T23:46:00.000-04:002007-09-24T23:46:00.000-04:00I had heard about both the R30 set and the Replay ...I had heard about both the R30 set and the Replay set, but had somehow missed the fact that they came with CD versions that would not be sold under separate cover. Having just laid out forty bucks for R30, though, Replay shall have to wait.<BR/><BR/>Show of Hands does have crummy sound, but it has tremendous sentimental value for me, and actually has my favorite versions of some songs (Mystic Rhythms, Marathon, and, especially Closer To The Heart, with that extended jam thingy at the end).<BR/><BR/>I don't know how serious I am about the vegetarian thing. I certainly can't go vegan, as that would mean giving up cheese, and that ain't happening. It's an amusing diversion from time to time, though.John Peddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00062482419412857588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34194333.post-25701892605960341432007-09-24T12:53:00.000-04:002007-09-24T12:53:00.000-04:00Well, you're really going to love me now, have you...Well, you're really going to love me now, have you heard about the DVD set Rush Replay X3? It has A Show Of Hands (sound is still crummy), Exit...Stage Left (with little tibits from the band between songs, man were they young) and best of all the Grace Under Pressure concert live in Montreal, or was it Toronto? Anyways it comes with a seperate CD soundtrack of the Grace Under Pressure concert. I remember when I first moved to Indiana seeing the Grace Under Pressure concert on VHS, before it was discontinued in 1990, I was pretty bummed. Now it's here, the best thing about Grace Under Pressure? The Weapon, what a great version, and the song is introduced by Count Floyd!!!! Made me bust out my SCTV DVDs. But R30 is damn good, I really liked the R30 overture.<BR/><BR/><BR/>As for being a vegan, I tried it for 3 days and never had so much gas in my life. Then I realized that Andy Kaufman was a strict vegan and never drinked or smoked and died at 39 of lung cancer. Do what makes you happy 'cause either way you're going to check out. Though eating more veggies isn't a bad idea.Prime Moverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05966827229252582919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34194333.post-10110759367410454392007-09-24T10:34:00.000-04:002007-09-24T10:34:00.000-04:00Yeah, stocks do count.

I do salmon, because I love it and will never give it up, most other fish is blah, and fried shrimp can be glorious. <BR/><BR/>That said, I had korean pizza today. It is like a giant hashbrown, only not crispy, and with veggies. It was extremely tasty. Count on seeing it in an upcoming blogthing. Also, have you heard of a döner? I hate the meat-version, but the vegetarian is amazing (it's essentially salad in a pita). You will learn more. As for drink, I would do a review on Hefeweizen Dunkel, but...I didn't remember to take a photo, and I don't much remember what it tasted like...yeah. <BR/><BR/>Today, I saw a swiss guy casually drink straight vinegar. A korean lass in my class (ha! rhyme!) had brought it to make a sauce, and he examined the bottle, and took a swig after I told him what 'essig' meant. I am told this is highly unusual for the swiss people, and he is just crazy. <BR/><BR/>Germany says hello, and is wondering why the weather is always so damn crazy! I always get to warm, have to change, and then it cools right back down. <BR/><BR/>p.s. Where are photos of your child? Has he doubled in size?Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01868807640005974048noreply@blogger.com
