Joseph Mallozzi's Weblog

For those of you who requested the homemade limoncello recipe (Courtesy of my sister's friend, Frank)... Meanwhile, today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1423257483972329479 I'd prefer a second glass of the limoncello. I mean, come on... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1423032034155503624 The article even fails to mention the bottle of Japanese whiskey that goes for six grand.  What ever happened to investigative journalism?…

This train ride back to Toronto is so different, it's almost surreal.  The car is modern, the seats are comfortable, and it has internet.  I've been offered snacks, drinks and a choice of three meals (!).  On the other hand, the guy seated in front of me is laughing away like a serial killer in…

Mom's famed mussels and potatoes.  She used to do a version of this with artichokes too.  A whole to-do. The occasionally spicy fried peppers.  You never know.  Mom always harkens back to that visit my face turned beet red eating one of these. The crab mousse.  Another Mallozzi tradition. Here's the secret recipe.   Shhhhhhhhh.…

Homemade hot sauces - fiery and flavorful. Smoke Meat Pete. Mom's pizza. The crab mousse. Friendship cake. Almond cake. Mom about to chow down. Andria - eat-ready. Meanwhile, back home... Suji sleeping with my t-shirt.

Montreal-bound! Union Station Good old Train 64.  Old - for sure.  Good?  Not so much. Japanese-style. Korean-style. https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1421151421626560522 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1421156694453899278 https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1421160749595041793 Traveling by VIA Rail - would NOT recommend. Finally, on the Montreal home front...  

Montreal-bound tomorrow and I'll be taking the scenic route, traveling via VIA Rail.  This will be my first train trip, but I imagine it'll be something like this... Or something close. This will be the longest Akemi and I have been separated since...hell, I can't even remember.  Also, it's going to be weird sleeping without…

So, on the one hand...but on the other hand... Well, all things being equal... Today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/brittlestar/status/1417232881714405384 Oh, I definitely want to try this. Happy Birthday to Stargate: SG-1! https://twitter.com/StargateNow_EU/status/1420051362939695108 What was the first episode of SG-1 you watched?  Were you onboard from the very beginning? I have to admit, I came to it late(r).…

Started work on the new pilot today, breaking the first episode into a Tease and Five Acts.  I have the shell of the story but need to find those act outs, beats, and memorable moments that add color to an opener.  Hoping to be done by top of next week after which I'll get notes…

Whaddya mean you forgot the treats? Yuking it up at the dog park. Tasty tasty blanket. Close enough! Flower child... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikDmKCg4ou0 Chicken or Egg? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ7KKeTdyE0

Today, I sat down with host Kevin Fukunaga for his Scripts & Scribes broadcast.  I fielded questions about showrunning, Dark Matter, Stargate, and, of course, Kpop... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5UsGEIJ8cA Well this is an interesting article.  Could that cup you're drinking out of have consciousness? https://www.salon.com/2021/07/23/panpsychism-the-idea-that-inanimate-objects-have-consciousness-gains-steam-in-science-communities/ Today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1418934783783186441 Meanwhile, on the home front... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gnrx63R61U

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1418659569258188804 Tacos with Totoro's Mei-chan... The Barbacoa.  The Pollo al Pastor.  And, for dessert, the Tres Leches (Campechano)  We took a walk to work off lunch.  And then stopped to replenish our energy... Dessert #2 - The Pancake Cereal Sundae (Butter Baker) I crashed as soon as I got home.  Too much sun I suppose.…

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1418297390788923393 That should read "last C-Drama she watched". https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1418301459695906817 https://twitter.com/SaraBahama/status/1418303470998753283 Today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1418186928814501889 Gotta admit, I'm not averse to pickle and dill-flavored sweets.  There was a neighborhood pop-up that was offering a pickle soft serve last summer.  I was meaning to try it out but just never got around to doing so. Thinking of going…
