My favorite soup Meal!

I'm a big fan of Tomatoes but when the winter comes I'm hard pressed to get my hands on a fresh one. When I say fresh I mean grown in the sunlight, beefsteak, tomatoes. Around this time of year the tomatoes are bland, hothouse grown and way too expensive.

In response to this I have invented a Tomato soup meal that is delicious, low in calories and takes a minute to make.

You'll need a can of Tomato soup, a microwavable bowl, croutons or cut up toast, and three slices of Boar's Head American cheese. Simply, pour the soup into a bowl, add half a can of water half a can of milk. Sprinkle the croutons over the soup cover with cheese and microwave four minutes or until the cheese really melts into the soup. Cool and enjoy!

Fashion Nightmares on the U.E.S.

It doesn't happen often in NYC but it does occur. This fashion nightmare was spotted at a local bank on the Upper East Side. The jacket is what caught my eye. Ten sizes two small maybe?

Then the shirt. Why is her shirt hanging out of the bottom of her top like a wet rag? And to top it all off, I don't know if you can see it in this pic but the hem from her pants is hanging out over her foot.

The heels are what makes this a definite fashions disaster. To tell you the truth the outfit could have been saved with a pair of green sneakers. The heels however, pointy, flimsy and black seal the deal. What do you think?

Making History

Well American we made history today. All of us sitting here made history. We are part of something bigger than the man itself and something greater than ourselves. Let us usher in this new era with good will.

Blessings President Obama.

Love is Lost

Sadly, the most famous store in the east village is a thing of the past. "Love Saves the Day" has graced first avenue for as long as I can remember.

And now it's gone.

I haven't been to the Village in awhile and yesterday I hit on this unfortunate event.
It's not the economy that done this it's the greed. In fact the east village looks more like chain store amusement park then a mecca of the new, the unique the unusual the what you can't find anywhere else in the world.

The other closing that broke my heart was the famous restaurant Dojo's. Dojo's introduced me to the idea that a soy burger was a good things. Dojo's fed the artists of the Village with vegetarian recipes that could be found nowhere else. What replaced it was a chain fried chicken joint and a yogurt bar. Wow.. what an upgrade. The landlords got their rent and the Village lost big.
These new chains are places mean that you don't need bother to make pilgrimage to the Village. You can find them in any major and minor city in the world.

Now that the Village is beginning to look like anywhere else it will loose it's mystique, it flavour and it's draw. We have to value in NYC what is unique, and what makes us different from anywhere else. If we don't start to preserve these places we will loose our identity. Once they're gone we can't bring them back.

A Miracle Aiplane Crash?

Yes it's true! A ommercial airplane went down in the Hudson river today. When I think of what could have happened I shutter. The plane could have easily crashed into a building on the lower east side. It very well may have gone up in flames and pieces when landing on the water. The passengers could have floated in the river and downed of hypothermia like the passengers in the Titanic. People could have panicked pushing and shoving causing chaos and death.

Yet, none of this occurred and no deaths have been reported. As far as accidents go this was a miracle accident. The pilot and crew the heroes in this story maintained control and composure and saved all the lives on all those on the plane. Hat's off to them!
It's no leap of faith for me to admit that something other then ourselves was at work here something called God. What do you think?

WOW what a Week!

What a week it was.
1. Oprah, should stop worrying about her weight, she looks great!
2. Bernie Madoff should go to jail. He'll sing like a canary.
3. Please stop with the stimulus packages and let the market ride. We're in overprotective mother mode. Let it breath, please.
4. Let all credit scores revert to zero. Wipe the computers clean. Let us start again, not just the corporations.
5. The Benjamin Button movie was fab but there was really not a lot of acting. Great narration and great action shots but acting? I don't think so.
6. The housewives of Orange county should see beyond their navel and if Gretchen sleeps with her finances son she's only protecting the inheritance he's bound to get when his father dies.
6. Your thoughts?

MUGGING AT CARL SCHURZ PARK TODAY!!!

Ladies, please be careful. There was a mugging at the Carl Schurz Park in broad daylight. It occur ed just off the boardwalk by the Mayor's Mansion this afternoon. Please be safe and take a buddy with you when you enjoy this magical place and bring your cell phones. The problem is that when you get mugged in a Park it can be very difficult for the police to locate you so be aware of the street crossings when you're out and about.
Also, watch your back and be aware of your surroundings. If you see someone suspicious just turn and walk the other way. And please turn down your I Pod's so you can hear what's going on around you.

Blessings, Ms. ObsHERvation

Nip/Tuck Female Mutilation?

You know my thoughts on the high heel phenomena that cripples women and renders them helpless to male aggression but the show Nip/Tuck has really got me worried. I've just been watching the trailers lately and I've been bombarded with dancing girls in frilly blue short skirts and white puffy hair reminiscent of the wigs of the English Renaissance. These carbon copied dolls dance to twirling scalpels. and ending their show by ripping off the red ribbons from their porcelain white revealing a necklace of stitches like you see in the picture of the eye above.


As the trailer of blood and scalpels and cutting continues in Jack the Ripper style there is one shot that makes me sick to my stomach. There is a naked woman grabbing a knife and trying to cut off her breast. Come on people. This is sick. Remember Larry Flint? The guy who published Hustler magazine? He put a picture of a woman going through a meat grinder and caused a uproar from the Feminist American woman of the world. What I don't get is why, as women and men we're just sitting here as images of self imposed female mutilation are celebrated?

Do we want our young girls and boys exposed to this and accepted as a lifestyle? Is this some serial killers fantasy?

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!
