T and T.....

Just a few short this’s and that’s today..

Feedback is always appreciated and encouraged…as proof that somebody actually reads these things! I was surprised that someone else made the recipe for the pot roast (see comments below the “lazy”post). Readers are always welcome to comment (it’s somewhat of a pain), and if it’s non personal I will be glad to publish them..

I also got an e-mail in response to the “media” rant that in fact, I could be considered part of the “media”… somewhat chilling!

Some may know there is a program on TV, I believe on the Discovery Channel, called “Dirty Jobs”. I have been informed that there was an episode on the making of Scrapple. I was further informed it will be repeated on February 8th, at 8pm. Runs an hour..i suspect that it’s like that old quote about sausage: “Don’t ever watch how it’s made”. I am not sure what time zone the 8pm refers to. Check your local listings!!

And lastly, MFO and I are going to spend the night tonight in Baltimore. We are taking the opportunity to have a Feeder experience at a well regarded restaurant there. I won’t name it for fear the staff will go to extra lengths to make sure the Bottom Feeder gets special treatment. HaHaHa…. Report tomorrow or over the weekend.

Nothing to do:

Tonight (yes, I’m sorry) is a concert at SMCM in the auditorium at St. Mary’s Hall by Eliza Garth, a jazz pianist. It is to be an evening of “jazz inspired works by American Classical Composers”. The interpretation of that description is left to the student…free…

Tomorrow night is the February edition of First Friday in Leonardtown. Stuff to do.. we’re going to try to be back in time to enjoy it..there will be the usual opening reception at the North End Gallery for an invitational exhibit of “A Silver Collaboration” (it’s the galleries 25th anniversary).

Or, if that doesn’t float your boat, there is a concert Friday night at Historic St. Mary’s City by Calico Jack (Jane Meneely and Paul DiBlassi) who perform traditional and original music inspired by the Chesapeake Bay. $15 bucks and call ahead at 240-895-4990. I think it will be in the Visitor center auditorium.

There’s an interesting lecture down at Historic St. Mary’s City this Saturday, at 2pm in the Visitor Center Auditorium. It is in conjunction with the Facing Fences exhibit at the Boyden Gallery. Chief archaeologist Dr. Tim Riordan will present an illustrated lecture focused on re-discovering the Calvert House yardscape. No fee.


Also Saturday (2:30) is another lecture at the Calvert Marine Museum entitled (I am not making this up): “Tigers in the Cliffs: The role of Calvert Cliffs as an Ecosystem for the Endangered Puritan Tiger Beetle”. Fairly esoteric, but hey it could be interesting. No charge for the lecture.

whew, and you still have to
