Yup, Soy Sauce for Beginners by Kristen Chen had what I love. A good story, a new place and soy sauce.

PROBLEM SOLVERS CAUCUS
“The last great hope for this country is that Republicans and Democrats prove they can work together,” said Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chair Tom Reed. “We’ve locked arms to continue the fight for the American people, their families and their healthcare. Today, we are proud to deliver a set of bipartisan solutions to move health coverage forward so that our fellow Americans can also move ahead with restored hope in their own future and in the ability of Congress to resolve critical issues. We as a Caucus, will continue to work together with bipartisan dignity and commitment to the American people, who deserve stable healthcare and a functional Congress.”
I never heard of them before today. The Problem Solvers Caucus. And i cant find out much about them. Perhaps they are the grown ups we have been waiting for. Working not for the good of the Party but for the American People. Compromisers, visionaries, who knows. But we can hope
here are a few links…

and let’s. Let’s hope that something good can come from the current low we find ourselves in.
“The voters in my district sent me to Washington to engage in a constructive, deliberative process to address our nation’s challenges. The work of the Problem Solvers Caucus is a first step, showing that when people come together with open minds, ideas and a willingness to work together, progress is indeed possible.” – Rep. Brad Schneider (IL-10)
A Lesson in Art
As I struggle to make sense of art, its importance, its value, its purpose, I fell into Head-long and so much started to fall into place and become clear. As you follow the plight of a painting, this novel brings you into detail and process and ponder.
Loved The Big Sick
Not quite When Harry Met Sally but oh so close. Great characters, believable, sympathetic, understandable. The Big Sick deserves all the praise it gets. And I got to see it on $5 Tuesdays at AMC.
Contrived, Boring, and Shame
Shame on whoever wrote this movie, shame on whoever casted these talentless actresses, and just shame. Again we have a great story, or a good story, a woman searching for self as she comes to that empty nest stage of life. The Year By The Sea is a great example of pandering, and condescension. I can’t say enough bad things about it. Im not even sure that they made Cape Cod attractive. How can you not show off Cape Cod.
Brasserie Parc Bistro
Where no one seems to mind that you toss your drink to the floor. SO romantic, so lovely, on what i continue to believe is Rittenhouse Square, the Parc was pretty good. I was fed steak and liquor and thats all i remember.
Best Meal, best dessert
In Philadelphia for a few days, keeping safe from Hurricane Irma and walking the streets getting familiar with the area. Im curios about union club of Philadelphia , what is it? As i walked by I was able to look in the street level window and saw a kitchen. I mean a kitchen, then a kitchen, then a pastry kitchen. Was this this Union Club or part of a culinary institute. I must find out.
But i digress. Tonight I had dinner alone at the bar at Barbuzzo. Well, not the bar, but a counter in front of the grilling cooktop. What a show. And the best meal. I had a steak, sliced, drenched in mushrooms, potatoes and asparagus, with a green garlic sauce.. heaven. And dessert, a small pot of chocolate crunch, pudding, caramel… could not have been sweeter or more delicious.
The Midwife.. oh yes, wonderful.. this movie had it all. In the law after i was lacking it up with two ladies who felt as I did. The recommended I see Maudie next. Perhaps I will!
Catherine Deneuve was perfect as the unwanted step mom who returns to make up for the past. Sit back, enjoy.
Viceroy’s House, starring the dad from Downton Abbey. Gotta love him, and his wife, and most of the story of partition of India. Which, according to the Guardian, is historically incorrect (fake history they call it) in where it lays blame for the millions of lives lost during partitiion.
Absolutely don’t have to enjoy a single minute of the love story, blachhh. I would skip this one.
