Saturday Beefcake: Where's the Beef?

Image
Acutally classic Shepherd's Pie has no beef. It has evolved into a beef dish from the original mutton. In the search for Thomas Rau's recipe for Almost Meatless Shepherd's pie we found a preview of his book, The Swiss Secret to Optimal Health along with it. The recipe calls for some ground turkey, making it not quite meatless but at least heart healthy. As for the beef ... ... we rummaged through the internet and found worthy substitutes.

Starting Your Beefcake Day

Image
Not many people realize it but eating breakfast is the secret to staying healthy. No matter how busy you are, it's important to fuel your body so that you can have energy throughout the day. Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day. So don't overlook this important meal. Select healthy options that fit your taste and lifestyle. The Benefits of a healthy Breakfast are: Jumpstart your metabolism from the overnight fast: Breakfast is considered an important meal because it breaks the overnight fasting periods and replenishes your supply of glucose. Glucose is your body's energy source and is broken down and absorbed from the carbohydrates you eat. In the morning, after you have gone without food for as long as 12 hours, your glucose levels drop. When this happens, your body compensates by releasing the glucose that has been stored in your muscle tissue and liver, called glycogen. Once all the energy from the glycogen stored is used up, the body breaks down

Gay Thursday: Gay Theater in NYC

Image
New Gay Theater Has More Love Than Politics (Patrick Healy in The New York Times February 22, 2010) A new breed of plays and musicals this season is presenting gay characters in love stories, replacing the direct political messages of 1980s and ‘90s shows like The Normal Heart and Angels in America with more personal appeals for social progress... These productions about gay life make little or no mention of HIV or AIDS and keep direct activism at arm’s length, with militant crusading portrayed with ambivalence more than ardor. The politics of these shows — there are seven of them opening in New York in the next several weeks — are subtler, more nuanced: they place the everyday concerns of Americans in a gay context, thereby pressing the case that gay love and gay marriage, gay parenthood and gay adoption are no different from their straight variations. While persecution remains a reality for most of these gay characters, just as it does in many movies and television shows featuring

Tuesday Talent: Terrell Tilford

Image
The excellent and molto simpatico actor who brings the complex Dr. Greg Evans to life on One Life to Live brought that appeal to here! TV's The DL Chronicles and Days of Our Lives where also played a doctor. Doctor Greg Evans in the person of Mr. Tilford brings grown up and uncomplicated sensuality to the show. There is still a lot of life in the character and his family in spite of Daphnee Duplaix's pending departure. We are hoping that the powers that be over at ABC-TV and One Life to Live are listening. The show has so much going for it and his presence most definitely ups the ante. Send support for this fine actor to: Mr. Frank Valentini Executive Producer c/o One Life to Live ABC TV 320 W 66th St New York, NY 10023 or call the ABC Viewer Comment Line: 818-460-7477

Monday Music: Banderas

Image
AMG REVIEW: The 1991 debut release by the British duo Banderas has a rather misleading cover image, that of two oddly-dressed women sporting Sinead O'Connor-style crew cuts with the band's Spanish-sounding name sprawled across the top of the picture. Perhaps Ripe's failure was due to consumer confusion; is Banderas a Spanish-language punk band, or a bizarre Sinead side project? One listen to the album, however, reveals neither is true. Banderas is actually an ace pop band, and its one and only album, Ripe , is addictive ear candy. The two members (vocalist Caroline Buckley and violinist/keyboardist Sally Herbert) receive ample assistance from producer extraordinaire Stephen Hague, but the album's real star is Buckley, who sings with confidence and clarity. Her voice soars on the funky, beautifully produced album opener "This Is Your Life" and the eerie "May This Be Your Last Sorrow." While Ripe 's remanding eight tunes don't quite scale the

Sunday Sex on A Stick: Thomas Jane

Image
What saves The Velocity of Gary from complete oblivion as a film is the scorching Thomas Jane ( Hung ) along with his two passionate kissing scenes with Vincent D'Onofrio. Yes: Read more about Thomas in Stander Well, there would be no complaint here if Thomas were simply about the sex ... but there is more to him than that. Well, his blessed nature does have us paying attention ...
