It's Park. But it's in 16 at-bats, and Park is on the disabled list. A better argument could be made for Daniel Palka, who's batting .293/.349/.586/.935.
I know, it's SSS theater, but it's all we've got this early.
On The Grill:
Hebrew National Bun Length Beef Franks, w/ chopped onion, chopped dill pickle, Dijon mustard on New England-style toasted buns - cole slaw w/ horseradish + salt-n-vinegar potato chips.
tonight: Filipino-style Chicken Adobo (thighs) with rice and a salad. The thighs have been marinating for two days, but I probably need to substantially up the garlic and black pepper.
Marinade: about a half-cup of palm vinegar, quarter-cup of soy sauce, an inch of ginger, chopped, 4 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 4-5 bay leaves, crumbled, a tsp of cracked black pepper, a pinch of red pepper flakes, two red Fresno peppers cut in half length-wise (unseeded), and a couple big dashes of fish sauce. Pour over a large package of bone-in, skin-on thighs and marinate for at lease a few hours.
Dump everything into a big pot and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Remove the thighs to a plate. Defat the sauce and reduce by half. In another frying pan, thoroughly brown the thighs, skin-side down, with a scattering of sliced onion on top. Pour over the sauce or return the chicken to the pot with the sauce. Garnish with chopped green onion and serve with steamed rice.
I also made hummus tonight for the first time in forever. A little heavy on the tahini but still way, way better than store bought. I'll be making some hummus fritters later this week.
Hooray, hummus fritters!
I readily admit that I like Sabra. But homemade is still the way to go.
My one complaint: store-bought tahini tends to be a little bitter sometimes (too often). I'm assuming handling problems or age?? I dunno. Maybe it's just the brand. I don't remember it ever being bitter when I bought it in Illinois, San Diego, or DC (although I probably always bought it at co-ops, not the grocery store, back in my granola days).
I live 3 blocks from the Holy Land Deli. No reason to ever make my own hummus.
Wow that sounds awesome. 10's all around including the Russians and Chinese.
Seriously inspired name and a fantastic dish to boot: Creamy BLT Pasta
Now THAT's a low-cal dinner.
I know, right? But it's soooo good to cheat once in awhile.
And my yearly reminder that everyone should BUY ART. Or at least consider it.
I'm now the proud owner of this sweet little piece by Aldo Moroni.
Lookie, lookie. The artist himself.
Out of curiosity, what was it that made you fall in love with cityscapes? I damn near can't spot a pleasant view of a city without thinking of you.
I'm with the painter. Buying art for the enjoyment of the art is muey satisfying.
We close in June. I would like to request one art from each of you. I'll send the address.
Transfer one meeeeelion dollars to my offshore account and you can have all the arts.
Hell, I'll work for half that.
This kind of aggression will not stand.
We hang together or surely we will all hang separately!
On HJ's new walls, I assume.
It's my favorite thing these days. I've bought six different pieces in the past calendar year. And I have pretty much run out of wall space, unless I want to go to a salon style. I don't. Art should have a little room to breathe. So I'm rotating it.
Of the thirty-some pieces of original art that grace my domicile, only two are mine. Or the same number of Joseph Shores' work I exhibit. 😉
Ha! I'll send you a new one one of these days.
I should also mention that your loading dock study is one of the first things I see every day. Love that painting.
My only forays into original art are a Shores and a couple of Stoia canvases, though for at least the past three Art-A-Whirls, I've contemplated, but not accomplished a remediation of that shortcoming.
Whoa, my SiL lives in his building and as she was showing us around the building, we saw some of his works in progress. I was kindof intrigued but didn't have the time to look closely.
How'd she get into the A-Loft? The competition was stiff. Is she an artist? And by competition, I mean lots of people applied to get in. I, of course, missed the deadline for application. Yet again.
I don't know what she had to do, but she does illustration. Her dream career is probably in children's fiction books.
Her roommate had already been living there and needed a replacement when the previous roommate moved out; not sure how that wrinkles the application process.
I, of course, missed the deadline for application. Yet again.
Twins make some moves today. Haley to the 10-day DL, Mejia down to Rochester, Kennys Vargas and Buddy Boshers get the call.
Player A: .227/.346/.432/.778
Player B: .375/.444/.563/1.007
Player A = Vargas
Solve for Player B.

Chicken Shawrma for the slaughterhouse.
Oooo!
