R & L’s Hush Puppies
- 1 cup self rising corn meal
- 1/2 cup self rising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 onion diced
- 1 egg
- Pepper to suit your taste
- Buttermilk to make the right consistency
Heat cooking oil (peanut is good, but canola ok too) to about 350,
Using two spoons, dip the mix with one spoon and cut it into the oil with the other spoon.
Stir them so they’ll turn over and cook both sides.
If the oil is too hot they will cook on the outside and be mushy on the inside. Grandddaddy doesn’t like that.
Dad also had the idea to make the mix a little thinner with buttermilk than your hushpuppies for the the zucchini fries.

Music Hall of Williamsburg
August 3, 2011
I ran into Liturgy on accident last Friday at MoMa. Just went over there for the free fridays thing to checkout the museum and found out they were playing a show. I had heard about them from when Jim Jarmusch guest DJ’d All Songs Considered and was talking about booking them for ATP.
They were rad.
I also saw Jim Jarmusch the week before exiting the Tinariwen show with me. Seems like a cool dude.
Really glad I got a chance to catch Tinariwen. I first saw them when watching the World Cup Kick-Off concert at my hostel in Johannesburg. They were sandwiched between John Legend and Shakira or something like that.
They rolled out on that overblown stage chilled the fuck out and played this desert blues music that knocked me backwards. Their albums are amazing.
I made a video for my band the finks. thefinks.info

Watermelon and Tomato Salad
This is courtesy of Mark Bittman, The NYTimes’ Minimalist. Here’s a video of how to make it.
Ingredients:
- Watermelon Cubes
- Cherry tomatoes halved
- Cayenne
- Blue cheese (or Roquefort)
- Scallions
- Oil and Vinegar
- Parsley
Key to this is tasting as you go. Add ingredients and taste as you go until the flavor is balanced. Start with a couple tablespoons of olive oil. Start light with the vinegar. Mark prefers sherry vinegar, but you can use balsamic. Add the watermelon and tomatoes. At a big but not huge pinch of cayenne. Add the blue cheese. Add some of the scallions and parsley and then keep working with each ingredient until you get the acid, salty, and sweet combinations how you like it. This would make a great turkish breakfast.
