Spicy tofu… Is spicy. It’s become a tradition for me to photograph food via my iPhone and update to Flickr and the blog, especially when traveling. We’re on the road again, this time traveling to Seattle for Memorial Day Weekend and the big Folk Life Festival, and this is what I ordered at the Manchu Wok in the O’Hare Airport Food Court. It was okay, actually. Not too bad, although the noodles were mushy from behind held on the steam table too long. Our flight to Seattle was delayed 2 hours, and we arrived after midnight, local time. While at…

@moryan celebrates the awesome news from this weekend that #Chuck was renewed. Everybody take a bow who helped #savechuck Awesome news: ‘Chuck’ to return for a third season | The Watcher But as you’ve seen as you read all the stories above, there’s a catch to the “Chuck” renewal. To ensure another season, “Chuck” will have to cut its budget (as is apparently the case with “Dollhouse,” which is also coming back). The show will have to let go a couple of writers, and some actors who were series regulars in Season 2 may only be recurring guest stars in…

Beware Zombie Rinkwomen! Utah has a lively roller derby scene, with avid fans and some truly awesome, Amazon-like warrior women. Check this photo out from the City Weekly blog. Roller Derby: O-Town Report “This was actually the best game we’ve had so far. It was back-and-forth the whole bout, very competetive, lots of stress and anger on the floor due to the score being so close–it was awesome. We got a broken tailbone, broken glasses and huge rink-rash bruises. The final score was Sucker Punch Sweethearts 132, Ladies of Capone 122.” If I had to live in Utah again, I’d…

St Mark’s Hospital in Salt Lake holds an annual Blessing of the Hands of healers. It’s the hospital where Mom was during her last illness, and our family got a lot of support from the Episcopal priest who runs their pastoral care program, Fr. Lincoln Ure. This event sounds just like Fr. Linc; I experienced the regular Wednesday Eucharist with him and some of the staff when Mom was upstairs, and the following week, I had to go back after she passed. Those people are some powerful healers, and I got a sense of how deeply they care for one…
