Monday Music: Pino Daniele

Napoli's Pino Daniele, one of Italy's most creative geniuses, musically and linguistically My name your name Che importanza ha E tu guardami in faccia e dimmi che è vero I say you say Ognuno nei suoi giorni Ma io e te ci incontriamo nella mente E nessuno ci sente Ci vuol talento per chiamarlo amore Se chiudi gli occhi ti scoppia il cuore E allora resta, resta cu' mme' E allora resta, resta cu' mme' E allora resta, resta cu' mme' Ahresta, resta cu' mme' Qui sul mio cuore Vorrei vorrei essere nel tuo passato Chissà se mi avresti cercato Se mi avresti lasciato My name your name Messi vicini per caso Nel blu su quel biglietto che non ti ho mai dato Ci vuol talento per chiamarlo amore Se chiudi gli occhi ti scoppia il cuore E allora resta, resta cu' mme' Ahresta, resta cu' mme' Ahresta, resta cu' mme' Qui sul mio cuore

Your MidDay Saturday Beefcake Recipe: Spinach Quiche

Image
1 pre-baked pastry shell 1 ½ to 2 pounds fresh spinach 1 teaspoon salt Pinch nutmeg 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon Lemon juice to taste 2 to 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard ½ cup crumbled feta, 2 whole eggs plus 2 egg yolks 1 cup heavy cream (or ½ heavy cream and ½ plain whole milk yogurt) 1 tablespoon chopped parsley Preheated oven 350F°. Thoroughly wash the spinach in three changes of water. Place it in a heavy pan with no water other than that clinging to the leaves, cover, and wilt down over medium to high heat. The bulk should be reduced to about 1 ½ to 2 cups. Drain it very well, pressing and squeezing to get out all the water. Then chop the spinach coarsely and season it with salt, nutmeg, tarragon, and lemon juice. Mix well and taste for seasoning. Spread the bottom of the pre-cooked pastry shell thickly with mustard. This trick comes from Simca Beck and it gives a wonderful flavor to the finished quiche. Arrange the spinach in the shell, and sprinkle with the cheese of your choice.

Friday Feature: Nicholas Rodriguez and Love Out Loud

Image
Whoever paraphrased Will Rogers and said, “I never met a Texan I didn’t like” must have known Nicholas Rodriguez. We Love Soaps and POZ are very proud to announce that actor and singer Nicholas Rodriguez will be joining Love Out Loud again on May 11 at Prohibition. Part of One Life to Live 's landmark gay story line, Rodriguez was known to Broadway musical lovers from his roles in Tarzan , and Almost Heaven . When the talented, handsome Texan came to television land he played Nick Chavez on One Life to Live , Mr. Rodriguez had this to say: "I'm just so grateful to be working with people like Brett and Scott, and Tuc Watkins has been a really big help. Everybody's just so cool. They're such pros…If we can put that in American homes, people who may not know another gay person, people that live outside of New York and California, if they can like us as real people, then we're really making a difference... It's real, deep love and issues that we're deali

The Wednesday Word is from the Attorney General

Image
[Dear Mr. Boehner] ... I will instruct the Department's lawyers to immediately inform the district courts in Windsor and Pedersen of the Executive Branch's view that heightened scrutiny is the appropriate standard of review and that, consistent with that standard, Section 3 of DOMA may not be constitutionally applied to same-sex couples whose marriages are legally recognized under state law. If asked by the district courts in the Second Circuit for the position of the United States in the event those courts determine that the applicable standard is rational basis, the Department will state that, consistent with the position it has taken in prior cases, a reasonable argument for Section 3's constitutionality may be proffered under that permissive standard. Our attorneys will also notify the courts of our interest in providing Congress a full and fair opportunity to participate in the litigation in those cases. We will remain parties to the case and continue to represent the

Your Sunday Stud: Levi Poulter

Image
Poulter grew up in a small town in the Rocky mountains in Utah. He's very active in sports at young age dreaming of becoming a personal trainer. While working out in the gym, many people commented on his great physique and suggested that he should get involved with modeling. During the summer of 2001, with the encouragement from his family and friends, Poulter finally packed his bags and moved to Miami office when he first got to Miami, and they signed him right away. One of his early assignments was for Abercrombie. He has since modeled for Abercrombie for a number of years, and had appeared in many other campaigns and magazine covers including DNA , L'Uomo Vogue , and Target . During his spare time, Poulter loves to play soccer, listen to music (rock, classical, R&B, Hip HOP), and spending time at the beach with friends. text stolen from MostBeautifulMen.com
