Culture & Cuisine
Delicious Foods
I love all sorts of food. What do I eat a lot of right now? Indian, at Rasoi in Framingham. Mexican, Margaritaville (pseudo-Mexican, we admit). Thai, in Natick. Italian, everywhere. Irish, at O'Connors in Worcester. Check out my List of Restaurants in Worcester County.
My favorite food, though, is Japanese - teppanyaki, traditional, and sushi. I also enjoy:
- Bread Machine Recipes
- Italian Food
- Caribbean Food
- Greek Food
- Home Cooking Recipes
- Japanese pages for local restaurant reviews and more
Yummy Wines
I also love wine - unfortunately my favorites are white zinfandel and plum wine. Not usually the type people contemplate drinking! I like them, so that's what matters to me :). Take a look at My Winery Tours to see where I've been around New England. Or even my trip logs to see where I've traveled recently. I also did some pages up on Coffee and Tea and Cocktails.
Mustangs
I like to drive just about any sports car that can exceed 120mph, but until recently I owned a 2001 Silver Mustang, which was my fourth consecutive Mustang. I haven't owned any 'classics', just the recent 'tank' shaped ones. I skip the years where they get too 'sleek' looking. I've owned a black '88, a grey '89, a white-with-blue-racing-stripes (which I added) '92, and this silver 2001. I did have to get a Forester in the past year, because my son and his friends literally no longer fit into the back seat of the Mustang. I'll go back to Mustangs once they're all out of school.
Movies and Theater
I'm one for drama, science fiction, but not really horror. We have the Star Wars (new version) trilogy which is good, but my favorites aren't too surprising given my interests. They are: Hamlet (Gibson version), Robin Hood (Fox version), Henry V and Much Ado About Nothing, Star Wars, Kagemusha (Japanese), Ran (also Japanese), Highlander, Gladiator Conan the Barbarian (excellent soundtrack), and Excalibur. I was quite sad when Mifune and Kurosawa died. We even drove around New York City finding spots Highlander was shot in! Great fun.

- Irish movie listing, a bit smaller
Books
Our favorite author is Robert B. Parker, who wrote the Spenser for Hire series. There are 27 books now I think, about a detective in Boston who always does what's right, not necessarily what he's been told to do. We have five books on tape of Spenser, along with many, many others. I also liked the recent translation of the Odyssey by Fagles.
