Good morning.
It was a good night in the SoFla blogosphere with a good mix of posts that make up this morning's Sift.
A- Want a great mac and cheese recipe? Look no further than Daily Cocaine who claims the French make the best.
Get some decent boxed macaroni, cook it al dente, drain it, let it cool a little (don't rinse), and soak it overnight in some heavy cream. The macaroni (I like to use rigatoni) will absorb the cream. Exactly.
B- Jaded in Paradise can't sleep and, man, can I relate.
Oh, I didn’t forget…I have a zillion thoughts racing around in my mind. And I doubt doing yoga at this time, hmmmm yoga…is going to pass me out. The bars are closed. Now. Not that I really drink much. I went to a bar earlier spent one hour there, and drank one vodka and soda. After I downed the drink and had a conversation with a human being, I figured I could go home and relax, and thus the sleep process would….
BUT No! This is like some kind of joke!
C- Camera Ephemera has a great shot of a school of fish.
D- Eat It, Miami reviews Spiga on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach.
Service - excellent. Food - excellent. Ambiance - excellent. Prices - most reasonable. Seriously, what is there not to like about this place? They have great pastas and I highly recommend to anyone the Ravioli di Vitello ai Funghi Shitake. It's hard to translate, but that roughly means "veal ravioli with shitake mushrooms". I'm kidding. That's exactly what it means. There is an option to order them "baked with bechamel". Bechamel, as we all know, is one of the mother sauces in French cuisine. Basta cosi. Order it baked with bechamel, per favore. It taste-a veri veri good-a.
E- While McCain supporters are raving about Sarah Palin's gams and putting up bogus yard signs, Obama's legions are doing some real work to insure he gets elected, according to Miami-Dade Dems.
F- The McCain campaign was being paid $15K a month by Freddie Mac right up to the time they went bankrupt, according to Bark Bark Woof Woof.

I really appreciate that your link to your sources as so many blogs do not. Keep up the great work!
E: Sundries is still around? And as kooky as ever I see.
Alex: you really need to read the whole racist blog to get a full appreciation of how warped that woman is.
.
Ahh, Alex. Don't make me return to your blog and embarrass you all over again. If you recall, you were dinking and diving every time I replied to you and you were left bobbing up and down como un balsero.
And Rick, I'd like to request something:
Please keep calling people racist when they disagree with Senator Obama.
I think you'll get loads of Americans to vote for him because no one wants to be called a racist. Good strategy. Wish we had thought of it first.
Cheers,
Victoria
Victoria,
Doesn't it bother you than instead of talking about Gov. Palin's positions on issues, or her experience, that the press is, at least based on those pictures, more concerned with her leg definition? Call me crazy, but I'm far more concerned about the fact that she would, if given the chance, outlaw abortion in every instance except if the mother's life is in imminent danger, or that she seems to think that Alaska's relative proximity to Russia counts as foreign policy experience, or that it's okay to use executive power to settle a family vendetta.
Of course, if the quality of her legs is most important to you, that's your deal. Maybe that's why her favorability numbers have plummeted in the last two weeks--people have gotten past the glasses and the legs and see that she'd be a disaster if she had to take teh big chair.
Sarah Palin is a pawn, plain and simple. She is the result of a sad smoke n mirrors ploy by the McCain team in order to gain votes from:
- "hockey moms" and "outdoors folk" and middle America who can relate with those activities
- women in general who may have backed Hilary simply because she was a woman and now have another woman to back.
- men who let their dicks cast their votes rather than their brains. I dont know how many conversations Ive heard where guys talk about how hot Palin is and how theyd like to have sex with her but its been quite a few.
Sarah Palin is clueless when it comes to US and Global Politics and has no business being in a leadership position in this country whatsoever. This becomes evident every time she is asked a question and dodges it while trying to use buzzwords in order to sound like she knows something. This is an insult to every American's intelligence.
Victoria: Sorry, sweetie, I call 'em as I see 'em.

Riiiight Victoria, as you recall. The real story is that after I mocked your one-sentence-at-a-time style of nonsense, you pulled the "don't talk to a lady like this" card and never showed your face again.
But if you want to go at it again, by all means. Why don't we start by discussing your disdain for people who risk their life escaping Cuban tyranny?
I would love to be the resident Phyllis Shafly on a left-leaning blog, but I just don't blog don't go to other blogs as much these days.
But since Alex would consider it some kind of coup for me not to reply, allow a few shoutbacks.

Incertus, maybe you've noticed that I am not a blogger of portentous topics. I tend to keep it light on my blog. This is why it's called "Sundries" and not "Get Your Daily, Snarly, Leftist Claptrap Here".
Oddly enough, that blogspot title was taken.
Victoria: Sorry, sweetie, I call 'em as I see 'em.
A little bird told me that you're really a nice guy, and when someone meets you, you're actually rather moderate, and not the curmudgeon you seem here.
And actually, Rick, I can sense that just reading you.
But please don't call me 'sweetie', albeit I know how much Democratic men like using that word to women. Victoria will do just fine.

This is not the Alex I know and could possibly grow to love.
I hung around until life interrupted (I got engaged; life's great; I'm sure you know all about that). Henry had even passed me the torch, if memory serves, so that I may carry on tormenting you in the hallowed tradition of other commenters here before me.
(Where are they, BTW? It's a completely new crew that I see. Meanwhile, my commenters have been with me through thick and thin since day 1)
But there comes a time when people grow up, and move on.
I suggest you do so one day soon.
That whole renegade Che Guevara Palestino guajiro wannabe act is getting old.
By the way, Barbra Streisand called again and still wants her nose back.
See you guys around la Souwesera!
Cheers,
Victoria
Victoria: They lied. And there's nothing I can't stand more than a racist conservative who doesn't have enough introspection to realize it.
Now run along, sweetie, and continue to update us on how McCain is such a hero for wanting to cancel the debates and focus his attention on the economy that, as of last week, was "fundamentally sound."
.
On the other hand, that is the Victoria I knew.
Full of bravado at fist, then feebly retreats.
Engaged? Congratulations. Nice to know there's a real person behind the facade.
Because sweetie, that whole tea and scones, prim and prissy Tatcher blogging persona was old the moment it was conceived. You wear it well, tough. It goes with the disdain fr balseros and guajiros.
Toodles,
You know, Id' call this a catfight, but no one has mocked the other's clothing. That, and I'm pretty sure no girls are involved.
That's pretty catty Nonee. Ironic catty.
What does Che have to do with anything?
