Franks is really pretty bad.  I was given some several years ago and my husband refused to eat it, as it was like spicy vinegar.

We buy Tapatio.  I'll eat the McIhenny jalapeno as I like green sauce, but it's hardly stellar.  I'd have to try Rickey's before slapping down cold hard cash for it.  Next time I'm in FL maybe.

In Portugal, I was impressed with the food:
little custard tarts, (Pasteis de Nata); roast cuttlefish with smashed potatoes with butter and parsley; amazing mushroom risotto; tiny crispy fried sardines; grilled shrimp in butter and garlic; we were sitting around near the Mosteiro de Jeronimos in Lisbon when an American gap year group showed up.  Their director had a freshly baked box of Pasteis de Belem (a local variant on the custard tarts).  She passed them out to the kids.   They were nice and spoke to us for a while, trading experiences of the country.  Their director came by and gave us each a tart, and my god, they were so warm and rich and delicious.  It was like a religious experience.

Chris Sarandon, aka Prince Humperdinck, has a face that looks like it should be the head of some Wall Street pyramid scheme.  I didn't realize he had been married to Susan Sarandon, but suspected he was her brother or something.  He voices Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Christmas, which is another film I really enjoyed.  I've seen him in a bunch of films.  He has that slick kind of good looks that telegraph that this is a guy who is up to no good.  There should be some term in German for that kind of face.

The answer for why Angel never vamps out in other shows is Shanshu. He signed it away to WR&H, but you can't actually sign away a prophecy.

Essentially, after the apocalypse, which could be 999 years after BTVS, Angel's "reward" will be to become human again.

Most Special Operations groups prefer to work at night, and the only thing the Navy would need to account for are his special dietary concerns, but hey, they're stuck with Humie Boreanez.

Same thing as bones. A necromancer would make quick work of that show.

That was entertaining.  And Peter Falk looked like Columbo stopping in to visit a sick family member.  I appreciated that he was reading a story to a sick child.  It was soothing.  Sad that he suffered from and eventually passed away from Alzheimers.

Really, this is the worst cold I have ever had I think in terms of discomfort.  I watched an entire season of the Finnish series State of Happiness in one evening.  I'm glad I had multiple boxes of facial tissues in the closet as those are disappearing as well.

My husband heated up a can of soup for me for lunch and it was so delicious and soothing.  I think it was the culinary equivalent of drinking salt water: Progresso Chicken and Sausage Gumbo.  I have bottled water and a box of granola bars stashed away with some hard candies.  This is suck.

amazon prime video has TPB with 9.99 Starz subscription.  Eh?  I'll check the library.  Maybe they have it as a streaming option.  Ah.  Archive.org has it.

And don't even worry about the R.O.U.S.es, I don't even think they're real.

Somewhat strangely I don't really give a thought - even in passing - to the actor when I am watching a movie or TV. I have absolutely no regard for the prancing pony called Tom Cruise while I am watching Top Gun.

BUT

I can get quite confused when someone I know pretends to be someone else (e.g. Angel turned up in something called SEAL Team and never once turned into a vampire, Goose was in ER when we all knew he was dead, and don't get me started on what Goose's wife was doing in When Harry Met Sally)

... and who can see Inigo Montoya in anything without reciting "hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die"?

I had to look that up.  I've never seen The Princess Bride, but was stunned to discover that Mandy Patankin was once young.  Given my current illness and the fact that I'm catching up on film viewing in bed, this might not be a bad time to check that out.  It will offer a contrast to the docudrama I just watched about Tom of Finland.

I only really remember as a rapper (I was in the music industry at the time) but, like you, find it hard to remember I thing she did.

The one thing I do remember is U.N.I.T.Y as I agreed with every word of it. It's a shame others like Snoop and Fiddy, didn't.

She did hair product commercials, or were they for makeup?  I don't remember.  She also had a talk show.  I think she once had a career as a rapper, but I can't recall a single hit.

Here's one of her probably lucrative works.  She's an attractive woman.  I don't really care for that brand, but to each his/her own.

Clever!

You have to own a Jag to own that plate. It wouldn't even work on a Panther.
