must see: I know that voice

This seems like it’s the greatest career!

I didn’t see one of my fave voice actors, Cree Summer listed. I hope she gets some love, because Freddie Brooks was no one trick pony! Cree has been the voice of too many characters to list. Google her!


Just to name a few…

Penny from Inspector Gadget

Susie Carmichael from the Rugrats and All Grown Up

Elmyra Duff from Tiny Tunes Adventures

much respect due: harry belafonte

There’s a song we sang in church when I was little,”Give them their flowers, while they’re still alive.”
In a time when it was very dangerous to do anything other than shuck and jive, HARRY BELAFONTE was a powerful at the forefront of several movements.

 

Harry starred with the beautiful Dorothy Dandridge in "Carmen Jones"


Daylight come and me wan go home…with Mr. Belafonte.

EAT OUT ELLE CLAY: Locanda Verde (NYC)

Friday night, I partook in a celebratory dinner with my old pal JOHN.

SGROPPINO PRIMAVERA this cocktail was AMAZING. Sorbet and prosecco!


Bread was crusty on the outside and soft and fluffy inside with parm and herbs on top.

 
WARM MUSHROOM SALAD with poached egg and crispy prosciutto:  This was surprisingly tasty. I’m not a fan of oozing yolks, but the yolk was like an extended dressing for the salad. The tiny croutons hiding underneath was also a very nice surprise.


ROASTED BRUSSEL SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA & PECORINO: I mean, the description is enough.


MY GRANDMOTHER’S RAVIOLI: My Grandma didn’t make ravioli, but after tasting this I wish she would have.

 
WOOD-FIRED PORK CHOP with Yukon gold potatoes, trumpet mushrooms and walnuts: This chop was delicious! I don’t know if they smoked it, but it tasted more like ham than a chop. I had to stop myself from picking up the plate and drinking the jus.


DEAR JOHN

We’ve reached the dessert portion of the evening. Locanda Verde did not disappoint.

 
CHOCOLATE TORTA with hazelnut gelato & MAPLE BUNDINO cranberry-blood orange conserve, cranberry sorbetto
The BUNDINO didn’t make no kind of sense! (That means, it was really, really good)
