Your Evening Sift

Looks like things are getting back to normal around the South Florida blogosphere after the holiday break. Check out your nice, full evening Sift.

A- The305.Com posts an early 1900's photo of the area of Flagler and Miami Avenue as part of their Old School Sundays feature.

B- Burger Beast tries out Burger King home delivery.

Was everything crispy? None of the Chicken Nuggets, Onion Rings or Fries were crispy. All three of them were soggy but I actually now found out that I prefer their fries this way.

C- The St. Lawrence String Quartet is a unique group that recently played a nice concert in West Palm Beach and is on its way to Miami Beach, says South Florida Classical Review.

The Chacony opened with the theme that would underlie the movement, played in unison with perfect intonation and austere authority. From there, the variations began, developing harmonic richness and rhythmic complexity, as the movement built in power and intensity. Expressive solos by the violist Lesley Robertson and cellist Christopher Costanza came off as cadenza-like improvisations, giving all the more power to the return of the formal, driving precision of the principal theme. The movement built to a climactic, major-key conclusion in repeated broken chords that rang through the hall.

D- It's all about the Ginger with Hello, I'm Scott's latest post.

This set of pictures came about because, while I was in the kitchen cooking, Ginger went and changed into her Thanksgiving Day outfit. She came out and I said, “Oh, we should definitely take photos! You look amazing!” So while food was cooking in the oven, we ran outside and into the courtyard and took some pictures.

E- Sounds like last night's Art Scavenger Hunt in Fort Lauderdale was lots of fun, at Arterpillar's place.

Once the maps went out, everyone was off and running. Squeals of delight echoed down back alleys as people poking through bushes and peering into dumpsters found hidden works which included paintings, photographs, prints and sculptures.

F- At Park Tavern in Delray Beach, you're paying for the ambiance when you order the burger reports Burgers by the Beach.

The 'house ground' meat patty was a solid portion. Cooked to my liking. But the add ons and presentation really made this a poorly executed, expensive burger.

G- Random Pixels documents the Herald's embellishment issues.

Man-eater? That thing looks like it would have trouble devouring a large order of Chicken McNuggets...

H- Nikon Miami has a super collection of Game Day photos from today's Dolphins/Seahawks game at Joe Robbie (yeah, I still call it that).

I- Did the Herald cut off TV critic Glenn Garvin today? Eye on Miami says yes.
