Life on Mars


Will there ever be an end to the cancellation of TV shows I like? I'm really not that picky. I admit, I never saw a single episode of ER or Dallas, but I saw more than my fair share of silly sitcoms and ho-hum dramas. But why, oh why, do the big three networks put in the time and energy and cash to produce a worth-while show, and then cancel it before it has even had a full year to build an audience?
My son says I should be happy; Pushing Daisies and Life on Mars vand Sports Night will never jump the shark. I take comfort in that.

Corn & Molasses Bread


Just a quick thought today-one of my favorite things 20 years ago, when I lived near the Pepperidge Farm headquarters, where one of my best friends worked, was their Corn and Molasses Bread. I have never had anything like it-especially toasted, it was heavenly. As per usual, I was out of the mainstream, and apparently not enough people found it to be the ambrosia I did. It was discontinued, and forever mourned by me. Seems a silly thing to blog about, but it really was a very tasty bread.
