Chef Marcus Samuelson & Blue Star To Create Consumer Stoves
Sunday, November 6th, 2011Yen Ta Fo – Bangkok
Sunday, November 6th, 2011
Sala Daeng Soi 2, is behind Silom Complex, 081-919-1233 or 081-814-9547. Open Mon-Sat 6-9:20am, 10am-1:30pm. You have a choice of one of two noodles and you may also ask for Yen Ta Fo with or without soup.
Yen Ta Fo is a type of pink tofu, it actually appears more red than pink to me, and is given its color and slightly sour taste by the addition of pickled red beans into the mixture. This food cart offers the dish exclusively, with or without soup, and your choice of two types of noodles. It is very good! In fact, this dish is one, if not the best version in this part of the city. It is run by an elderly man who is at the helm tending his noodles every day that the stall is open.
Two Films: “Farmageddon” & “The Bride Wore Black”
Sunday, November 6th, 2011
These are two completely different films with entirely different messages but both are worth your time.
Farmageddon
Nov 04 – Nov 06 (Kristin Canty, 2010, USA, Bluray, 86 min) http://nwfilmforum.org/
Americans’ right to access fresh, healthy foods of their choice is under attack. This film tells the story of small, family farms that were providing safe, healthy foods to their communities and were forced to stop, sometimes through violent action, by agents of misguided government bureaucracies, Farmageddon highlights the urgency of food freedom, encouraging farmers and consumers alike to take action to preserve individuals’ rights to access food of their choice and farmers’ rights to produce these foods safely and free from unreasonably burdensome regulations.
The LA Times called it, “An eye-popping wake-up call revealing how the USDA and FDA have increasingly waged war on America’s small farmers even when they can prove they are contributing healthful products to our food supply.
The Bride Wore Black
Jeanne Moreau
Directed by Francois Truffaut
In François Truffaut’s 1968 “The Bride Wore Black,” which begins a New York run this week and will then play in many other cities. Truffaut is sometimes viewed as a relative lightweight among the company of big-name ’60s and ’70s European directors, and there’s no doubt his work is uneven. What begins as a French cinephile’s almost obsessive tribute to Alfred Hitchcock becomes progressively weirder and wittier. Jeanne Moreau as the ultimate femme fatale heroine in this knife-twisting tale of murderous revenge and unexpected romance, “The Bride Wore Black” is well worth rediscovering.
