My Name is Potato
Since I already put up one video today, I can't think of a good reason not to post this crazy music video from 1977 called "My Name is Potato." Tell your head to get ready to have a song stuck in it. [via Metafilter]...
Roseanne's Halloween Episodes
No TV show had better Halloween episodes than "Roseanne"; you could tell the writers, the actors, and Roseanne herself relished these episodes season after season. This one, I think, is one of the best: all you need to know is that Dan and Roseanne are competing to see who can scare the other most. Don't miss the final scene, it's worth it! I'll post some more Roseanne Halloween episodes after the jump; hope you have a very creepy, spooky day and that you eat lots of candy....
Bellini's Beijing Dining Faves
[The Amateur Gourmet is on vacation and, while he's gone, he's asked his friends to cover for him.

The Great Crab Debate

Mark, her boyfriend, who's had both Diana's blue crabs and Dungeness crabs (though, not Craig's Dungeness crabs) prefers the blue crabs and you can see them agitating Craig in the above video. I'll finally get to taste Craig's beloved crabs a week from Friday when I fly out to Seattle for a week-long visit to Bellingham and the San Juan Islands. Meanwhile, those of you who've had both, which do you prefer: Dungeness crabs or blue crabs? If you say blue, prepare to get angry e-mails from Craig....
