I was going to blog about what I read in the Economist but...
my friend Jorge died, and all that seems silly.

Two Posts in one day!!! what is she on?!!
I'll tell you...
A new multi-vitamin, that i think has natural caffeine like qualities that have really got me going and kinds jittery (which I reallly tried to suppress while recording the show today).
Turns out the supreme court is going nuts over, commas,. Patt Morrison, on the "The Patt Morrison" show today on KPCC, discussed their recent focus on the use of commas in the second amendment and their effects on its meaning, which might change the outcome of the review of a past ruling. The speakers on the show (don't remember names, and I am too jittery to look them up.,,) said that it didn't matter...the use of commas and the interpretation, since commas were used so loosely then.
I recall, when studying hermenuetics (spelling?) under dad's guidance, that a comma makes a world of difference to meaning, whether or not the original writer intended it that way. Of course, we were reading religious texts, but if we're governing by our constitution, then I think we should be just as meticulous. We actors are with Shakespeare, anyhow, preferring to use to first folio which keeps all it's "mistake" commas which we use as clues for meaning and acting direction. Which is interesting, since Patt mentioned the fact that Shakespeare was careless with the spelling of his name when pondering on the importance of punctuation. hmmmm.

La Casita: Best Mexican Restaurant I've Tasted in LA
It's not like I eat a lot of Mexican food in LA: I grew up eating quesadillas like other people eat I dunno, Ramen in college. And most Mexican Restaurants don't offer the cuisine I indulge in these days...mainly wannabe vegan (wannabe because, yeah, I'll eat a little cheese, perhaps eggs, and just maybe some chicken...though not for the most part). So cheesy chicken enchiladas or beef filled cheesy chile relleno don't sound as appetizing anymore. That is until...La Casita came into my life.
Owned and run by two awesome men: Ramiro and Martin: who are some of the loveliest people I've met who are truly passionate about food and what it represents for Mexican culture.
La Casita is a small space in Bell, California, snuggled next to a 24 hour panaderia with some awesome looking Quince cakes. You probably wouldn't know that these two men are revolutionizing Mexican cooking in the US, and the image of Mexican food in other countries as a fine cuisine, by looking at the space. But one taste of the Chile Enogado-a perfectly sized large Moron pepper filled with tender ground beef, and covered with a pecan cream sauce topped with pomegranate seeds- and you'll also be driving alllll the way down to Bell to taste everything on the menu.
My friend Dara and I got to...Ramiro kept bringing out the food for us to taste. A three Mexican cheese pastry like thing filled with Mushrooms and peppers (no monterrey jack, cheddar or mozerella included, in fact, nothing melty.) Nopalitos (cactus) soup, tostadas with three moles, three moles enchiladas, A cotijo cheese authentic enchilada, Mexican Rice, a chile enogado (dating back to the 1800s, not the food but the recipe), and the biggest clue to La Casita's wonderfulness.......the fish of the day...whatever it was....if you know me.....I hate fish, I hate it, I won't eat it, and I can't stand the smell, and it gives me "asco" to think about eating it.....but I tried this finished, and as Dara as my witnessed....I almost finished it, it was so good, I wouldve finished it if it wasn't for the Kahlua flan on its way.
La Casita changed my life-seriously. I look forward to rediscovering fish again, and getting my Omega-3's from a source other than capsules and walnuts.
If you've got 25 minutes(in no traffic) to spare in driving, no even if you don't have the time...make it to La Casita to taste some of the most authentic Mexican food I've found in LA. And simply, the best I've tasted.
