Field Marshal, General, 1st Viscount, Allenby. I read up on him after viewing Lawrence of Arabia. Interesting life, here's Jack Hawkins as Allenby in a great scene:
Also, love this line:
Bartender: [after Lawrence enters with a dirty Bedouin] This is a bar for British officers!
T.E. Lawrence: That's all right. We're not particular.
Went to Corona and my first stop was Leo's Latticini or Mama's for tonight's Oscar dinner: Stuffed Shells and Manicotti. Will be washed down with some value wine.
Right up the block from Mama's is Nixtamal, a great Mexican place. Lots of Food blogs have mentioned it, here's: New York Magazine's review and a NY Times write-up. The Masa dough is the attraction. I got the Italiano tamale which includes Sausage, Peppers and Mozzarella. Followed up with a Rainbow Ice at the Lemon Ice King.
Time Warner Cable TCM on demand repeats Once Upon a Time in the West. Henry Fonda as the villain Frank and the music make this a must watch.
Henry Fonda recalls his casting. The actor who told him to do it was Eli Wallach.
Richard Proulx died recently. The above spiritual's arrangment sounds like the one he did. RIP.
