Late last night Lenie made a delicious Eggplant Parmesan with chicken as part of her “Lenie in the Kitchen” column for the upcoming issue, No. 121. It was so delicious that I was eating it at midnight.

But this morning, middle son, Robby, who is 16 and normally blessed with discriminating taste, passed on this marvelous dish in favor of a package of Rice a Roni.

“Are you kidding!” I pleaded. “This Parmesan dish is delicious!”

“This is good too, Dad!” he said matter-of-factly.

Egad! His generation will soon be in charge!

Why is John Silveira always the last one to get his column done?

Jackie Clay video

By the way, if you haven’t seen Jackie Clay’s latest blog video, you should. Extremely good. It’s the Oct. 27 entry.

Problems with website shopping cart

The shopping cart on the website broke yesterday afternoon, but we got it fixed tonight. So if you tried to order something at the website within the last day and a half but couldn’t, please try again.

It’s the 5th of November, so naturally we are watching V for Vendetta tonight. It’s the greatest freedom movie of all time.
