Comfort Food

When we're not fixing up the new house and unpacking boxes... (Who am I kidding? When are we not fixing up the new house and unpacking boxes?)... here are some of our current faves and diversions:




:: The fourth season of BBC America's Coupling. If you haven't given the import a try yet, don't let the disasterous NBC version sour you on it. "Coupling" takes traditional narrative and adds a twist, and also long ago graduated from simple sexcom to a much more complex series. (Thursday nights on BBC America)




:: Fosselman's lychee ice cream. You can't go wrong with just about any Fosselman's flavor. But the lychee is absolutely amazing. Visit the scoop shop, buy a cone... and take home a $5.99 quart. (1824 W. Main, Alhambra)




:: Home Depot. Yeah, yeah, I know, join the club, Mike, you're a home owner now. But yup, we've turned into those people. Home Depot whores. I never thought I'd succumb to the lure of the Depot. But there we are -- sometimes two, three times in a day. Several times over the weekend. Looking for wood. Shelving materials. Phone jacks. Wall fixtures. Closet rods. Blinds. Yup, throwing out hundreds of dollars a visit. Forget the home mortgage -- it's the Home Depot that's going to make us broke.

:: "White Chicks." (not really.)




:: Harrassing Fox execs about new drama "North Shore," which bears absolutely no resemblance to the Hawaii where I grew up. (As my mom told me, "They wear suits, Mike! And Brooke Burns wears long sleeves! That's not right!")
