You are what you eat

What's for dinner? Vegetarian Taco Salad: yellow corn taco bowls, pinto and black beans mixed with corn and garlic salt and cumin, shredded cheddar cheese, romaine lettuce, salsa, guacamole, low-fat sour cream, and black olives---550 to 600 calories!
Sabrosita!

Art-Performance Review

I was enchanted and entertained Addison's Watertower Theatre's *Black Pearl Sings* as it was part musical and pure performance. Set in 1960's Texas, the lives of two women, Susana, a white Midwest want-to-be Harvard professor and Pearl, poor southern black woman incarcerate; the one passion they share is music and when Susana locates Pearl in prison she tries to coax out of her a "slave song" for her ethnomusicology research collection (equal Harvard promotion) that Pearl will never divulge. Though she sings this song in a sacred tribal language of Africa at the end minus Susana; she does so with the largess of an opera performer. Props and lighting were minimal to allow the acting and mostly acapella singing to be taken in fully. Pearl's line at the end of the performance that left the audience in one long, collective gasp, "I am not giving Miss Susana my song; it's for my granddaughter so she can go to Harvard."

A student told me last night after research, he can find no health studies that support the health benefits of eating meat! :-)

Writing

What a writer's streak....I wrote twice this week until my pen ran out of ink...I am so old school!

Politics

I've watched segments of the Kagan Supreme Court hearings and those good 'ole boys were sure trying to chew her up!
Thanks to my friend and colleague Estella's Revenge...I have a new blog! Now it won't be long before I get a smartphone or kindle!!!! Not good for someone who likes to live on the cheap!
