Good Food : Foodie All-Stars in the Halls of KCRW

I got to eat Annie's "GastRAWnomique" cuisine at Test Kitchen LA. I was in awe. I do so wish I'd know she was here!

Just a note to all of you who've been such loyal and engaged conversationalists and combatants on this comments engine: After 15 years of producing this show, your humble producer Sarah Spitz is officially signing off. This was a decision I came to on my own, no one is shoving me out the door...But between us, I'll tell you in all sincerity, I hate the way politics is played now. I want our elected officials to do the business the people sent them to Washington, to city councils, to state legislatures, to do. That's not the way they play and I no longer want to be part of the process that perpetuates a broken system. That goes for left, right AND center, I am an equal opportunity disillusionist. We pre-recorded our end of year programs before Christmas and you'll hear a bye-bye to me from Bob, so before that happened, I wanted to reach out to all of you first. Next year, the person who'll be reading your posts is the new producer, Jeffrey Rogers. Don't give him a hard time!!! Meantime, I do wish all of you a wonderful new year and I hope you'll be especially active and engaged with the show and the blog in the years ahead. CHEERS!!!

Um, your humble producer here with a question: If the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy were supposed to create jobs, where are they now? And how does extending them now make more jobs possible? Maybe we should put this question out on the blog for 9.10 show, since this one has had so very many comments?

Andrew, please don't get personal like this on the blog. You don't know what people's circumstances are or how hard they have tried to find work. This kind of comment is unnecessarily uncivil and unwelcome on this blog.

I did not block your posts. You were blocked by our ADMIN staff because you violated terms of use. You chose to use this forum to advance your agenda based on comments made in another medium about someone who isn't even a regular on this show. So if you're trying to provoke some kind of personal slap down on the LRC blog, it's not going to happen. Our webmaster read your comments and made the decision to pull them. Should you continue on this path, you will, in fact, be blocked.

From Jean Golden, on The Politics of Culture comments page: Like her Greek ancestor, Hero, Diana is an inspiration to all of us who want to meet the challenges of every phase of life. So few women realize that Hero, herself, was a woman!! Let's reclaim her, in the name of Diana and all the fabulous women who have risen to the challenges of this generation. What a marvelous time it has been. And it's not over yet, not by a long shot. You go, Diana. We are all with you on this great adventure.

Comments from POLITICS OF CULTURE page following the interview with Diana on July 6: From BEVERLEY JACKSON: Brava for you. I know what you are facing. Florence Chadwick was a client of my lawyer father's when she made the Catalina Channel swim long ago and I was in the accompanying boat that long cold night. You are brave beyond words. I love your theory of not being old at 60 and you don't plan to be at 80. I'll be 82 in Nov. and am just finishing my sixth book. I was 68 when my first book SPLENDID SLIPPERS on the history of Chinese footbinding was written,published and winning literary awards and I started lecturing on the subject internationally at 70. But this is nothing compared to what you are doing. My admiration for you is limitless!! From LORENA: I admire and respect Diana Nyad ... you are a great inspiration .... Go GIRL!!!!!!!!! From JAY: Diana, you are inspiring. Thank you! (p.s. Kick butt out there!) From JTR: I love this! Keep it up Diana - no limits, just do it! Yeah!

Okay, let's remind those of you who are new to the show and new to the blog that Matt is a moderator only in that he has the broadcast chops to move the conversation along and stick to a timetable. He is the CENTER VOICE on this show and therefore has every right to insert his opinion. That's why he's there. So for those of you who do not understand he's not supposed to be the "objective" moderator. And Tony Blankley is a Reagan conservative, not a neo con and he tends to be more libertarian than many others purporting to be conservative. -Sarah, producer

The top of Franklin Hill (Franklin St) north of Wilshire in Santa Monica. You can see the ocean, the city, the Getty, a wide swath of LA's beach and westside. A perfect place to watch the sunset especially on a windy or stormy day. Green belt at top of the hill makes for a flat space to view all this beauty. It'll make you fall in love w/LA all over again.
