  Mon. 12/1/08 12:20pm Parq:

My wife's old family recipe calls for the bird to be stuffed with ground meat, sausage, green olives and a tomato sauce with herbs. Can't beat that with a tire iron.

  Mon. 12/1/08 12:33pm stingy d:

creme fraiche with amarena cherries was easily the best ice cream my life ever had.
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:33pm dc pat:

I like when Vikki and Ergo sing.
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:34pm Doug from DC:

Not much traditional food for me this Thanksgiving. But I had some cool Sudanese chicken, the four-flavor bowl from Pho Cyclo (best banh bowl ever), and a bunch of Indian buffet.
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:35pm marionfrenchie:

@annie- except everyone is now gonna be on a strict pasta diet until christmas!
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:36pm dc pat:

I was just thinking of what lunch I can buy for $5
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:36pm paw:

ahh can't wait for xiu xiu

XD
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:36pm Ike:

Wow, Sudanese chicken? Doug, I take it you've been perusing Tyler Cowen's restaurant guide.

My mom makes awesome cranberry sauce. Plus I brought her some very spicy Sichuan dried beef from Queens. She loves Sichuan peppercorns.
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:37pm annie:

personally, i'm gonna try and wrangle an invite to a big bash and eat for three days with copious bottles of wine.. my latest fave being malbec
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:38pm Doug from DC:

A friend introduced me to El Khartoum Sudanese restaurant in Adams Morgan. No hope for dieting until the holidays are over. Better start working it off.
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:41pm Ike:

Also, that Sun Araw track blew my mind away. And I've never heard Vicki sing before. That was cool.

Marion Frenchie is right -- pasta and rice may rule most of December.

Doug (and others in D.C.), check this out:

  Mon. 12/1/08 12:42pm IntangibleArts:

  Mon. 12/1/08 12:42pm stingy d:

hey liz - are you a chicago based guitarist or a maker of art-quilts?
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:45pm GP:

Stingy..maybe she is BOTH...whoah!
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:45pm Liz B.:

Singy, you found my evil name twins on the internets!
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:46pm Liz B.:

I must admit, I am very much tempted to purchase a Liz Berg Band t-shirt on cafe press...
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:46pm Doug from DC:

Thanks, Ike. Taking a quick look, I've eaten at a lot of these places, but there are some really interesting ones here I haven't heard of.
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:49pm dc pat:

dc peops: you've all been to Amsterdam Falafal house right? It's pretty amazing but they need plates.
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:49pm Doug from DC:

Liz, there's a novelist too.
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:52pm Doug from DC:

I've been to Amsterdam Falafel, but it was around 2 or 3am and my memories of it are kind of vague. A friend and I are still looking for the best Falafel in DC. 24/7 isn't bad, and El Khartoum's is good too.
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:54pm Liz B.:

Ha ha, yes, my novelist name twin made it to Oprah's book club! Victory is ours, Liz Bergs unite!
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:55pm stingy d:

http://tinyurl.com/mestingyyou
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:55pm dc pat:

well Amsterdam is close to the best--really good w/ that huge bar of fixin's. The fries are amazing too....but they need plates. I like Astor's pizza too in AdMorg--not for the pizza but all the other Egyptian-oriented food.
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:57pm Bad Ronald:

This Dune tune is nice...
  Mon. 12/1/08 12:57pm marionfrenchie:

  Mon. 12/1/08 12:58pm annie:

  Mon. 12/1/08 1:01pm Parq:

Next year in Shaker Heights!
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:01pm marionfrenchie:

  Mon. 12/1/08 1:02pm annie:

yaya herman dune
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:05pm Doug in DC:

Does anyone have the scoop on Conrad Schnitzler at No Fun Fest in January? Is he making an appearance or is someone performing in his place?
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:05pm marionfrenchie:

that's the brother still in the band. He is quite the character.
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:06pm Paul B:

Liz, If you have it - could you please play the Cobra Verde version of "Never my Love.'
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:09pm marionfrenchie:

  Mon. 12/1/08 1:11pm Doug in DC:

Sorry, No Fun is in May, tickets go on sale in January.
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:11pm GP:

Stingy, I though I was the only one who read that rag, One of my cousins put me on the email list for it and now I get it once a week.

You think that is bad, my double in name only is a drag preformer in Vegas!
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:12pm john:

My name is too common, there are bajillions of us, even if several of them are me.
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:13pm pat radio:

My most prominent name twin is the Pat Leonard who produced a whole bunch of records, Madonna among them.
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:14pm dc pat:

my name twins are a bunch of freakin nerds and an English soccer player.
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:16pm Liz B.:

GP wins! A drag performer in Vegas just about trumps all name twins.
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:16pm jamie:

I have an ex-NBA player, an ex-soccer player (who I am constantly getting facebooked to see if I am this person, at least before I had my real pic up.A professional golfer in my same town. Apparently all athletic ability went to all these other Jamies.
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:17pm stingy d:

  Mon. 12/1/08 1:22pm jamie:

Nope, stingy d. Here's another hint, in the 90's my namesake was in the slamdunk contest. I wish I had that PA announcement as a ringtone
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:24pm stingy d:

i guess my basketball knowledge is limited... i could've sworn you played for the nets around then. you must have last 3 years in the league - maybe less
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:24pm dc pat:

I love it when Liz B starts playing stupid music. I feel like she's playing tunes for me personally..
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:24pm detroitdave:

Hey, thre's only 1 of me and it IS me...........hmmmm...??
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:25pm GP:

Yea Liz, I should go a Liza next Hallowee, just so he does not get all the credit!
A buddy of mine also used my name as his "on-air" personality for doing the morning commuter traffic reports from the news chopper.
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:38pm Parq:

GP wins again? He won on Benjamin's show too. You are sweeping the field, son.
  Mon. 12/1/08 1:38pm Doug from DC:

Cool, back to the 7" records. I found some great ones this weekend: Tunnelvision's "Watching the Hydroplanes" on clear vinyl (FAC 39) and The Raincoats cover of "Running Away" b/w "No One's Little Girl."

best things about north carolina are Asheville and the mountains near by, and the waves on the other side of the state.
  Mon. 12/1/08 2:25pm Jeff M:

If those snarky musicians want some tasty Mexican food (and happen to be in JC some day other than Monday), there's always Taqueria Downtown. Not a burrito joint per se, explicitly a taco joint. And closed Monday.

  Mon. 12/1/08 2:28pm Jeff M:

  Mon. 12/1/08 8:44pm gargamel pookie norfleet:

have you ever thought of joining your name into one name? hmmm, Lizberg, have you? it would be so Vienese! this would be your middle name, by which your biopic would be named. (that's what they call biography movies?) Alessandrealouisa Lizberg Muthrushesvaszstille.
"Lizberg: portrait of a genius"
you could play a Baroque period turntablist in the big booty dress like they wore. kiera knightly would play your best friend who is a way-before-her-time go-go dancer. have you seen wave twisters? you could have a victrola wristwatch!

dude, you could have a victrola wristwatch.
