1. Although I consider myself to be adventurous, when it comes to cooking the only things I like to make are reservations. However, looking at 1st Spot Recipes page (1st-spot.net/topic_recipes.html) made me want to be like Betty Crocker. You’ll find how to make everything from goat cheese apple chutney pizza to Egyptian chocolate cake. In addition, you’ll find links to other food-oriented sites as well as tips on how to cook various items (like barbecue). Now if I can just find my pan … .
2. The underrated comedy show In Living Colour once had a skit devoted to a group of superheroes…and I remember one in particular. She was a Black, lesbian, feminist hero…and her name was Angrywoman. Thoughts of Angrywoman flashed through my mind when I took a look at the Guerrilla Girls site (www.guerrillagirls.com/), which centers on women fighting the injustice of discrimination. Find out how you can purchase Guerrilla Girl paraphernalia and discover when they’ll be in a city near you.
3. If you’re a fan of dance and you like to watch hot bodies move, you might want to check out Burn The Floor…a two-hour display of people writhing to different styles including samba, mambo, and waltz. (You can writhe to a waltz, can’t you?) Anyway, these terpsichorean technicians will be at Chicago’s Oriental Theater Oct. 23 to Nov. 3. Visit burnthefloor.com and view photos, read about the show, or purchase merchandise.
