Sitting on a train leaving Grand Central, got to see a man in a pope costume running to try to get on as the train began leaving. (The pope did not make the train)

These came out a little sweet even for my sweet tooth. Kind of close to cocktail frank sauce or a thick sweet and sour sauce. Some of that may be increased spice tolerance since the book was published, or me substituting some more easy to find modern ingredients

Vincent Price's recipe for Western Franks

Two hot dogs on a plate. They have a thick dark red sauce on them.

Second of two hot dog recipes from Vincent Price's "A Treasury of Great Recipes." Western franks, which are cooked in sauce incl. pineapple juice, chili sauce, molasses, and onions

For those who knew the old Yankee Doodle in New Haven, CT, these are a lot like the bacon wrapped dogs you could get there

Two hot dogs on a plate, wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cheese and onions

A recipe for stuffed frankfurters

Here's the first of those recipes from this long out of print book, for Vincent Price's "Stuffed Frankfurters"

Vincent Price writes at length about eating hot dogs at a baseball stadium. Be sure to read in his voice.

In addition to his long acting career, Price also hosted cooking shows and wrote cookbooks. In one of those books, "A Treasury of Great Recipes," he listed recipes from some his favorite, usually fancy, restaurants around the world. The US section ends with a part on Dodger Stadium

A smiling Vincent Price hands someone a box of hot dogs at Dodgers Stadium

It's Halloween week and the Dodgers are in the world series. I have taken this as a sign to make Vincent Price's hot dog recipes

Managed to finally get a good picture of one of the local goth squirrels while out for a walk

One time at San Diego Comic Con I was walking to the convention center and Mark Hamill was walking in the opposite direction in a crosswalk. I got to see his face as he noticed the young kid behind me in full classic Joker cosplay and he excitedly went over to say hello.

Photo of a painting of a woman wearing an elaborate showgirl costume, being held by a giant, pale hand. There are theater-style curtains in the foreground, and star-like garlands all around.

Photo of a painting of a woman in a pose reminiscent of The Birth of Venus. She has 5 arms, 1 resting on the side of her head, 3 in what look like spell-casting gestures, and 1 clutching a pair of high heels crackling with pink energy. The woman is wearing only a sparkly pink bikini bottom, and star-shaped pasties, and she has long, blonde hair. Her feet are surrounded by fire, and she's standing in front of a paneled wall with a landscape painted on it, and black curtains on either side. There's a burst of light behind her.

Photo of a painting of a woman sitting on the blank, white ground. She has black hair, styled in an updo, and is wearing a flowing, black, strapless dress with white fur trim, and patterned with stars. She's also wearing a pair of blue high heels with red soles, and there's a band-aid on her heel.

NYC friends: I highly recommend checking out the Rebecca Leveille Guay exhibition at the Philippe Labaune Gallery (but it closes next Saturday.)

As a bonus, they have friendly gallery dogs!

Beet burger wrapped in langos bread and cut in half on a plate, next to another burger not cut in half

Made beet burgers in deep fried langos bread. Pretty happy with how they came out.

All right, seriously, we need a way for ordinary people to have a reliable income that isn't dependent on providing exponential growth to shareholders and 3rd vacation mansions for C-suite executives. Who out there is really examining and discussing the practical alternatives we have?

This was great

So so excited to finally share!! Some very talented friends and I have formed a small indie studio to make the dream game of our childhoods- magical girls wrestling with big emotions and bigger demons. We're in VERY early days, but moving fast. I'd LOVE it if you want to follow along our journey! ✨💖

Went to see the Yoshitaka Amano exhibition at the Lomex Gallery in lower Manhattan. Was great to actually see it in person. It's running through next Saturday.

Hey, can you please edit this post or take it down? You used my Bluesky account instead of Sen. Murphy's actual account and it's directing a lot of people to me incorrectly.

Oh no. Someone accidentally tagged me incorrectly as the CT senator in a post and now people are following me. I am not him. Good luck and take care of yourselves, but if that's who you're looking for this is not the place.

I miss Sir Terry Pratchett but his wisdom remains.

They definitely benefit from having someone who comes out of a competitive primary. But I also worry that many years of not really delivering on promises means they can't rely just on charisma as much as in the past.

There is no messaging that could have fixed this in the last year that would have been able to overcome the inability to aggressively provide meaningful material support to people's lives starting 3-4 years ago

There was a little sign next to it describing all the work that went into pulling off the optical illusion and I remember none of it

For those seeking a way to divest from Bezos, I would recommend that you stop using Amazon. For non-book items, try to shop locally. For books, switch your allegiance to the fabulous Bookshop.org. In both my personal and professional lives I've done so, and it's been great.
