Playlist for This Is the Modern World with Trouble - October 8, 2009

Thursdays 9am - Noon on WFMU 91.1 fm 90.1 fm wfmu.org

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

i always look for trouble on thursdays..

Thu. 10/8/09 9:06am From: steven

The world is a ghetto, no doubt...and looking for trouble every day

Thu. 10/8/09 9:08am From: crowe

trippy steel drum war

Thu. 10/8/09 9:08am From: Steve Gugel

No way to delay that Trouble.coming every day.

Thu. 10/8/09 9:10am From: dale

if only more rulers would give it all up for wedded bliss.

Thu. 10/8/09 9:11am From: Trapper

I like the new Hope album. And there's a song called 'Trouble!'

Thu. 10/8/09 9:13am From: steven

The girl downtown is workin' hard and doing swell...
Mazzy's She Hangs Brightly is being reissued on yellow vinyl, only 1000 copies

Thu. 10/8/09 9:15am From: trouble

good morning modern folk

Thu. 10/8/09 9:15am From: BSI

Annie: likewise!

Although this week is completely wacky, due to FURLOUGH FRIDAY, thus, today is effectively friday, which means I missed Trouble yesterday, but Trouble's on now, and at this point the room starts to spin...

Thu. 10/8/09 9:16am From: steven

wooden ships on that gaslight killer kicks ass...

Thu. 10/8/09 9:18am From: v k

what a day! what a dj!

Thu. 10/8/09 9:19am From: annie

ohh... how nice... the GOOD beegees..

Thu. 10/8/09 9:22am From: dale

it's amazing how this early bee gees with the mellotron goes into pastoral strrawbs or incredible string band territory. if only i hadn't vowed to buy more cd's...

Thu. 10/8/09 9:31am From: jg

Trouble:

I have been thinking about this czukay song for a while. thanks!

Thu. 10/8/09 9:39am From: still b/p

The SONG is the greatest.

Thu. 10/8/09 9:41am From: jg

I love you birds! Don't loose them!

Thu. 10/8/09 9:41am From: Jerry

i love the bird sounds ~ keep them ~ add more ! :)

Thu. 10/8/09 9:43am From: trs

more birds

Thu. 10/8/09 9:44am From: Trappy

I wonder how many of those horrible new buildings we could have been spared here in JC without all the corruption... Though Mayor Schundler was just as bad if not worse, no?

Thu. 10/8/09 9:45am From: Dan B

I'm in a woodworking shop in a basement every day. I look foward to Thursdays when I turn off the saw and the dust collector and hear birds birds birds.

Thu. 10/8/09 9:47am From: Chris

Cool, this Kieran White song was on an old Ptolemaic Terrascope comp.Good to hear it widely available.

Thu. 10/8/09 9:49am From: trouble

yeah woodworking! yeah more birds!

Thu. 10/8/09 10:08am From: depilatrix

just tuned in. What article on hamburger??

Thu. 10/8/09 10:09am From: dc pat

stay ...away...from ....the ...hamburger....

Thu. 10/8/09 10:10am From: Cecile

I get my hamburger from little local butchers whose floor I can eat off on the busiest day of the week.

Or grind your own.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:11am From: north guinea hills

My back is still recovering from carrying books and records around all day Saturday. I couldn't even get up to go to work on Monday. Man, getting old sucks....

Thu. 10/8/09 10:11am From: BSI

Lethally unsafe or not, anything is better if doused in hellish-intense volumes of Huy Fong (tm) chili-garlic sauce.
mmmmmm.....

Thu. 10/8/09 10:11am From: texas scott

just cook the crap out of the burger before you eat it.
nice tunes for a rainy day,Trouble
thanks.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:12am From: Cecile

I took a spill two weeks ago at my Ma's house, and the ankle to knee bruises are finally beginning to fade.

NGH is right.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:15am From: Cecile

YAY, le disco! Need this today!

Thu. 10/8/09 10:15am From: Murray

Daft Punk? I don't know who he is!

Thu. 10/8/09 10:15am From: jaypee

Woah, Daft Punk.. this album defined my ravey summer that year.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:15am From: trouble

hey miss pseu!

and the article i was talking about was on the front page of sunday's new york times. it's on their web site...

Thu. 10/8/09 10:16am From: BSI

ha. I was just gonna confess, this album was a bit of a guilty pleasure, so many moons ago.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:17am From: north guinea hills

Cecile, exactly. 10 years ago, i'd be minor inconvenienced by the pain for a day and nothing else. I'd heal rather quickly. These days, not so much. Which is why I don't play competitive soccer any more, I can't miss the 9-5.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:18am From: annie

yeah, i'm blessed to live in an area that can feed me year round.. and cecile, sorry to hear about your leg... it's not too late to take some homeopathic arnica.. works great..

Thu. 10/8/09 10:19am From: jaypee

I remember seeing these guys at an outdoor rave in 1996. I thought they were weird but I do remember dancing my arse off.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:19am From: Cecile

I know. I've already had one knee 'scoped, I dread the day when #2 happens. So no running for me, but my old bones love the pool and the stationary bike.

Damn, Annie, I had Weleda arnica oil and gave it away. I should grab some at the health food store.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:19am From: Cecile

BSI - do you know about the wonder that is Grace Hot Sauce?

Thu. 10/8/09 10:21am From: Bill W

E. coli, take a chance on me!

Trouble, do you own a Queen Mother memorial tea towel?

Thu. 10/8/09 10:22am From: stingy d

ride bikes!

i just found an automated breakfast machine.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:23am From: dc pat

burger = no
run = now
bike = yes

Thu. 10/8/09 10:23am From: dc pat

run = no

dammit.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:23am From: trouble

no bill W i do not! sad but true...

Thu. 10/8/09 10:24am From: trs

Hey, I have a food question - avocado in a curried squash/yam soup ?
Good idea or not ? I can't find a recipe reference and don't want to ruin an otherwise decent soup

Thu. 10/8/09 10:24am From: gumby

Sorry for being late to the comments. But Trouble I just wanted to say that I find it deliciously refreshing that bird sounds do not translate well into MP3. I just pointed out to my 2 teenage sons that a picture of wilderness, while nice, is in no way comparable to standing in wilderness.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:25am From: Cecile

NO. No avocado.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:26am From: BSI

Cecile: I know NOT of this "grace hot sauce" of which you speak! But I'm foolish enough to try anything once! I got started on the sriracha, & quickly moved up to the Huy Fong chili/garlic (with the seed hulls in the mix) -- it's nowhere near the hottest stuff on earth, but makes magic!

Thu. 10/8/09 10:26am From: depilatrix

trs: Great idea. Avocado will not withstand the heat however, so you need to add it after the soup is done to individual bowls. Either as whipped or chunks.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:26am From: annie

trs- side dish, garnish to dip maybe..

Thu. 10/8/09 10:27am From: Priscilla

No - the avocado will mess up the texture of the soup. Mash it up & spread it on some toast.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:27am From: north guinea hills

Grace is a wonderful basic Jamaican vinegary hot sauce that kicks most commercial hot sauces arses.... Jamaican choice sauces are also purty darn good if you're going for decent heat w/ flavor. I usually make my own sauces w/ fresh habanero & garlic + whatever else I have lying around, depending on the dish I'm making...

Thu. 10/8/09 10:27am From: depilatrix

I freak out every time I have to add two digits to post. I never get them right the first try either. Math-trauma anyone?

Thu. 10/8/09 10:27am From: dc pat

yeah, I don't know if I'd mix avocado with anything but salt

Hot sauces: El Yucateca, Sriracha, Tabasco

Thu. 10/8/09 10:28am From: trs

Thanks. Got it. Avocado's only good cold/room temp. Gazpacho-y

Thu. 10/8/09 10:28am From: BSI

Cecile: nevermind!
Quick google image search & I know that Grace stuff! The skinny bottle, etc... If memory serves, I've had my share of the stuff...

EGAD, hungry for some reason.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:28am From: Cecile

Grace is a Jamaican hot sauce like Tabasco. But SOOOO flavorful. We got some 3 wks ago and have 1/2 of a 6 oz bottle gone.

ITA with Priscilla. Also I think it's too oily for the squash.

DCP: if you can find Grace, I think you'd lilke it.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:29am From: trs

or as garnish -- thanks dep. thanks all

Thu. 10/8/09 10:30am From: dc pat

SLITS!!!

Thu. 10/8/09 10:30am From: dc pat

I think they're Peel stuff is better than the official album

Thu. 10/8/09 10:31am From: dc pat

can't type/spell today. "their"

MONEY JUNGLE!!

Thu. 10/8/09 10:32am From: Cecile

I actually liked that Slits song. I usually respect them, but turn them down.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:33am From: annie

http://www.gracefoods.com/site/products-sauces.htm

Thu. 10/8/09 10:34am From: dc pat

I think the studio album was cleaned up too much. Peel sessions are more punk rock.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:36am From: Carmichael

Good morning, Trouble and modern listeners.

Cholula sauce is wonderful. So is any chili garlic sauce.

Scott is right. Cook the dickens out of your meat and you're OK.
No avocado.
Odessa is the best box set I've ever purchased.
I had both knees repaired at different times, one arthro'ed and one laid open. I still run 10k races, but it's because I'm an eejit.
It's Johnny Ramone's birthday.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:36am From: Cecile

I ordered mine from Amigo Foods in Miami. Ok prices and great service. I also got my favorite mango chutney, Matouk's there. (had to round out a minimum order)

Thu. 10/8/09 10:37am From: GP

Good morning Trouble and everyone.
Thanks Annie for the hot-sauce tip..always on the lookout for more fire.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:38am From: Carmichael

Yes, Grace is on my list now. And Matouk's is the ONLY mango chutney! Just had it on Saturday, slathered all over my homemade somozas.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:40am From: Cecile

I keep forgetting how much I like it. I should have ordered like 5 bottles.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:41am From: doug from DC

Good for you, Carmichael. I had hernia surgery last year and still run 5K two or three times a week. I'm an ijit too.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:42am From: dc pat

I had to give up running cuz of knees...but now I'm going to start road bike races. in training this winter...

Thu. 10/8/09 10:42am From: Gj Pj

Donjt Gejt Usj Startedjt Troubje

Thu. 10/8/09 10:43am From: annie

and... today is national pierogi day!!!!

Thu. 10/8/09 10:44am From: doug from DC

And for hot sauce, I like to buy canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and use the sauce for enchiladas, etc.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:45am From: GP

mmmmm Pierogis....Helped to have a Czech grandma.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:45am From: dc pat

doug: I use those in marinades but they can be REALLY hot. 2 or 3 plus a little sauce will do it...

Thu. 10/8/09 10:45am From: Cecile

YAYAYAYAYAY
I must find some

chiles in adobo are great.too

Thu. 10/8/09 10:45am From: annie

i love hot sauce, vinegar-free is hard to find, but i'm gonna try to make my own, now that i've stocked up on spices..

Thu. 10/8/09 10:45am From: Chris

Wow national pierogi day? Didn't know that. I miss my sainted grandmother's homemade pierogi, still the best I've ever had or will have. Never been able to get kielbasi anywhere near as good as what she used to buy either.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:46am From: dc pat

I recently found some ground chipotle powder and put that on EVERYthing...

Thu. 10/8/09 10:46am From: Carmichael

Doug, I make crock pot chicken tacos with chipotle/adobo. Super hot and tasty.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:47am From: Cecile

Yes! I use Penzey's! Tis wonderful

Thu. 10/8/09 10:48am From: still b/p

Recalling one of the best hot sauce names I'd heard -- Slap My Ass and Call me Sally -- and when I just looked it up, found a collection with a bunch (an ass-load) of...umm, irreverent, impolite, caution-and-clench-inducing monikers. How many stars of brash d'ya like?
http://www.hotsauceworld.com/hotsauces.html

Thu. 10/8/09 10:48am From: Cecile

hmmmm. Carm, how do you do the chicken? You cook it before, or in the sauce?

Thu. 10/8/09 10:48am From: BSI

This tune is plunging my thursday morning brain into a crock-pot of rainbow tacos and carpets of hot-sauce freakybeeps. Nice.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:49am From: north guinea hills

I got some excellent Nigerian chili powder from one of the West African markets in Harlem...., easy to mix w/ many things....

Thu. 10/8/09 10:49am From: GP

Cecile,
There is a Penzey's store near my office. I love just going in there and being thankful for my nose.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:49am From: annie

now i want to go out and find a mexican restaurant.. hmmm.. yumm.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:50am From: north guinea hills

Although for extreme heat w/ decent flavor, Blaire's hot sauce is my favorite. Dave's is just heat w/ no real flavor.....

Thu. 10/8/09 10:50am From: Carmichael

I put thighs right in the crockpot, along with the sauce and 2 or 3 peppers. A dash of granulated garlic if you wish, and put it on low until I get home from work. The house smells great, too ...

Thu. 10/8/09 10:51am From: trs

creuset (or clone) or crock pot (or clone) ??
You can put the first one in the oven or on the stove. Or can you do the same w/ the liner of the crock pot? Eyes on one of the two.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:51am From: doug from DC

Yes, I need to get a crockpot. My neighborhood has a large Ethiopean population. Have you tried berbere powder?

Thu. 10/8/09 10:52am From: dc pat

this cheval fou thing is workin for me

Thu. 10/8/09 10:52am From: Carmichael

Hmmm, no. Tell me more!

Thu. 10/8/09 10:53am From: Trap

I was thinking about getting a 'crock pot' but I want it to look like the one my mother had in the 70's. Wanted to use it for brisket? Only because I have this marinade, left over from the AMAZING 'smokra' from Rick's Picks pickles (from NY).

Thu. 10/8/09 10:54am From: fishmonkeystew

I ate at an Ethiopian restaurant in Seattle once a few years ago. Amazing food. Good good good!

Thu. 10/8/09 10:55am From: annie

now that the woodstove is partially fired up i can use the oven part to cook something all day. today i'll get it really hot and try to make rye crackers.. ahh. ethiopian food; i always think of the red sea..

Thu. 10/8/09 10:55am From: Cecile

then you shred the meat into the sauce.

trs - it's completely up to you. I wouldn't put a liner into the stove with the ones I have, although there are some you can. Creuset is great, but it's too heavy for my wrists - so I go with a crock pot many times or use a thinner pan.

AND you can still get great ones at thrift stores, Trap. I still have the two I got for my wedding 28+ years ago.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:55am From: north guinea hills

yeah, dc pat, this cheval fou is phonomenal!

Thu. 10/8/09 10:55am From: Chris

God, I'm starving now.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:56am From: Cecile

I love the raw kitfo, but haven't eaten it in a while.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:56am From: north guinea hills

I need to go out and get some food after cheval fou.....

Thu. 10/8/09 10:57am From: trs

oh, i guess a creuset is the same thing as a dutch oven. Dutch? French? Shows you what I know.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:57am From: dc pat

yeah, DC is packed full of good Ethiopian food, thank gods...

Thu. 10/8/09 10:57am From: BSI

chris: no kidding.
& I was planning to sacrifice lunch today to go spelunking at yonder record store..... may have to re-think everything now.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:57am From: annie

wow!!!! great gift for the recycling newlyweds!!! gift certificates to flea markets!!!

Thu. 10/8/09 10:58am From: trouble

this is a fabulous hot sauce resource! i can add my secret weapon is pimenton: a spanish smoked paprika that you can find stateside now. it comes in hot and sweet ( which is still hot) and they are so deep and tasty. I just added some to a split pea soup i made yesterday in the crack pot.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:58am From: Cecile

The Le Creuset is enameled cast iron.
You can get Lodge pre-seasoned cast iron, it's cheaper and if you clean it right, it is non-stick.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:59am From: Cecile

Trouble, that sounds scrumptious.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:59am From: doug from DC

Berbere (pron. bear-bear) is a cross between chili powder and curry powder. It is dark red, from the chilis, but also contains ginger, corriander, allspice, etc., and something called ajwain, which tastes like thyme. It is ferociously hot and deliciously spicy.

Thu. 10/8/09 10:59am From: Carmichael

Cecile: I leave the thighs whole until ready to eat, and shred them in the sauce. I use thighs because the meat's a little sturdier than breast meat, and a little greasier, which helps the sauce (I think).

Doug: Try to get an oval crockpot, as opposed to the little round ones. You can do so much more with them, like cook a rack of ribs, or a sizable pot roast, etc ....

Thu. 10/8/09 10:59am From: Jennique

Oh la la la. Il fait chaud dans mon office.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:01am From: BSI

Doug:
Jeezus effing CRISCO that sounds marvelous. You're in the 'hood now, so where do you find this marvelous bear-bear?

Thu. 10/8/09 11:03am From: Cecile

I did get an oval one, so now I have three...:/

Thu. 10/8/09 11:03am From: trs

I think I'll go with the option that allows stove and oven. Flexibility in range gets me every time.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:03am From: dc pat

Carm: yer makin' me want to eat dead chicken parts

Thu. 10/8/09 11:04am From: Cecile

Carm, one last question bone-in or boneless? Or whatever's on sale?

Thu. 10/8/09 11:04am From: dc pat

actually, if I ate meat, I'd do Carm's thing with turkey.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:04am From: chris

Holy Tortoise!

Thu. 10/8/09 11:04am From: Carmichael

Berbere it is! Thanks Doug.

I have a set of old Le Creuset (the brown enamel), and while they are excellent at evenness of heat and are very sturdy, decades of use have beat the crap out of them. And they are a bit hard to clean. I still use them to make stews or soups, but I do everything else with Calphalon pans.

I cook everything in iron skillets. They rule and you NEVER have to replace them.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:06am From: Carmichael

I normally get boneless thighs (from Whole Foods down the street), but I suppose bone-in may be just as good.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:06am From: doug from DC

There may be some at Mom's on 14th just south of Buchanan. That's my fave tiny grocery. They have all of these signs about values, honesty and character, I think to deter holdups, but they might also be affiliated with the Ethiopean Orthodox church around the corner. But there are plenty of Ethiopean markets around 14th and Buchanan and in Adams Morgan, too.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:07am From: Carmichael

YMA!!!!! Thanks, Trouble!

Thu. 10/8/09 11:09am From: Cecile

they have the boneless on sale a lot.
my husband doesn't like them plain, but in chili or other things that disquise the look/flavor he's fine.

Great, a new recipe!

Thu. 10/8/09 11:11am From: trs

hard to clean - bleah. Reading on a 'vs' google search that the old ones weren't enameled. I don'know.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:14am From: Cecile

I know, Trouble.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:15am From: dc pat

I wonder if the Gourmet recipe archives will exist online in the future.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:16am From: Cecile

probably
epicurious has loads of their old recipes.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:17am From: laurabella

is there really a soundway comp panama 3 trouble? i thought they were only up to #2 ??

Thu. 10/8/09 11:18am From: BSI

re: the death of Gourmet mag., it was inevitable. Conde Nast bought up several titles which were totally redundant vs. their existing stuff; Gourmet and Bon Apetit were destined for a cage-match in the conference-room of death. Two go in, only one comes out...

Thu. 10/8/09 11:18am From: doug from DC

Yeah, being in a publishing group that does a lot of magazines, this is a tough time for the industry. Read more magazines, everyone! Sure you can read articles on the internet, but it will never be the same as having bookcase shelves of back issues of The Wire.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:20am From: annie

the chef for my small cafe swore by epicurious, but always changed the recipes... her cooking rocks!!! if you ever come down this way, i can show you where she works now..

Thu. 10/8/09 11:20am From: Sweetchef

Her voice sounds like a weak version of J. Foster

Thu. 10/8/09 11:22am From: GP

How about "Cook's Illustrated" Anyone here like that one or their "America's Test Kitchen" T.V. show?

I used to really look forward to Christopher Kimbles editorials in every issue...rarely about cooking but a lot about life.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:22am From: annie

trouble, did i hear you say that scott wasn't coming in today and you were here til three?? ;) oh, you didn't? rats!

Thu. 10/8/09 11:23am From: dc pat

my favorite cooking mag is La Cucina Italian. they have a great online recipe archive.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:24am From: Sweetchef

As a chef I go with Cook's gourmet and and Bon are fluff, dc pat right on!

Thu. 10/8/09 11:27am From: BSI

Doug is right, although in my scene (controlled-circ. trade magazines) it ain't about readers as much as it is about advertisers. So buy some 12x contracts, y'all! Keep your local BSI commenter in veggieburgers & chili-garlic sauce for another year!

Thu. 10/8/09 11:27am From: annie

just bookmarked la cucina italian. the photos are to die for

Thu. 10/8/09 11:28am From: kris

this time I'm writing just to add to your immense writing audience and again show my appree-shah-sheesh-a-shee-hee-sheeaytion !
OH, YAY a belly dancing tune YAY !!!!!

Thu. 10/8/09 11:30am From: doug from DC

Just read that DC has the country's largest population of Ethiopean-Americans (between 150,000 and 200,000). And the guy who invented the Bowflex machine was Ethiopean. The things you can find on Wikipedia.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:30am From: stu

Hi Trouble

Great visit, too short, back to Muumiland today! see ya

Thu. 10/8/09 11:34am From: dc pat

doug: did you see the Ex w/ Mekuria? The audience was about half Ethiopian.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:35am From: Dominick

Amanda guest vocal?

Thu. 10/8/09 11:35am From: dc pat

that is to say, half the audience was 100% Ethiopian....and about 75% drunk...

Thu. 10/8/09 11:37am From: BSI

Trouble: infinite thanks for the bolly tune.
Always a perfect additive to the thursday soup...

Thu. 10/8/09 11:37am From: v k

i love the looks on the faces of my co-workers when the come in my office and overhear tunes like "#2"

Thu. 10/8/09 11:37am From: doug from DC

Yes, that was a fantastic show. I need to hit up the local rekkid shops for some of his other albums.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:37am From: GP

Dominick,
She is everywhere!

Thu. 10/8/09 11:38am From: Ike

I never get a chance to try D.C.'s excellent Ethiopian restaurants anymore. I never visit D.C. without area relatives -- who dislike African food (but they do like spicy Asian food, to their credit). NY's Ethiopian places are just not quite as good.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:38am From: Baba

Why does this music make me salivate? And now my stomach's grumbling ...

Thu. 10/8/09 11:39am From: Cecile

I don't even read the mags anymore.
I find the best recipes of late from Indian home cooks who post their curries on the 'net. They're cheap, easy and delicious.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:42am From: Baba

Sounds like the perfect date.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:43am From: Cecile

*rimshot*

Thu. 10/8/09 11:43am From: doug from DC

Here it is, one of my current faves: http://www.abolethiopiancuisine.com/
If your in Silver Spring, MD, check it out.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:44am From: GP

I like this Brazilian Girls song

Thu. 10/8/09 11:46am From: annie

doug looks like about a quarter mile from the metro?? not bad!! i used to deliver flowers in that area.. getting pretty cool there to have an ethiopian rest.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:49am From: Chris

Yes, Abol is incredible. Worth a stop before a Pyrmid show, Doug.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:49am From: Ike

There's a lot of interesting restaurants around there. I've been to Mandalay (Burmese) in S.S. a couple of times.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:49am From: Chris

Ack. Pyramid.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:49am From: GP

Emmanuelle Seigner can sing me to sleep anytime..did I just say that out loud?

Thu. 10/8/09 11:49am From: BSI

I'll heartily second Doug's suggestion.
That place kicks superior foodie arse.
Approved & endorsed!

Thu. 10/8/09 11:52am From: Carmichael

Thanks, Trouble!! I think we're all headed off to a hearty and spicy lunch!

Thu. 10/8/09 11:54am From: doug from DC

Annie, Silver Spring has completely changed. If you haven't been there in a few years, you likely won't recognize it. A lot of it is kind of mall-ish now, but there are some good restaurants, and of course the American Film Institute's AFI Silver Theater. Also Pyramid Atlantic Arts Center, where Sonic Circuits-related events continue throughout the year.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:54am From: Cecile

I know I am!

Thu. 10/8/09 11:55am From: trs

Great food + music. Warming curried squash yam onion garlic potato carrot soup with some avocado'd toast on the side..happy lunch.

Thu. 10/8/09 11:55am From: Baba

Je crève de faim !

Thu. 10/8/09 11:56am From: annie

i sure hope scott's had his breakfast/lunch.....
