Abe Vigoda 2009....still not dead


Among all the lists of which celebrities died in 2009, I have an update to a blog story from last year:

Abe Vigoda found out he was dead in 1982. He was doing a play in Calgary, Alberta, while a People magazine writer visited the "Barney Miller" wrap party in Los Angeles, California."The Godfather" was Abe Vigoda's first film -- and more than 35 years later, he's still around to enjoy it."Somehow it mentioned in the article that 'the late Abe Vigoda' was not [there]," Vigoda recalls.The error was corrected, but the damage had been done. "I'm still quite [involved]," he says.Moss, moss, Sep 2008



In fact, Abe Vigoda did not die in 2009 either.  Both Wikipedia and this site say he is still alive.

What's on the menu?

Tomorrow's the company holiday lunch. The menu always sounds pretty good, but I'm sometimes disappointed with the actual results. This year the menu choices are:
  • White Balsamic and Honey French Cut Chicken with Butternut Squash Relish, Served with Asiago Polenta and Sautéed Green Beans.
  • New York Steak with Candied Red Onions, Served with Asiago Polenta and Sautéed Green Beans.
  • Pan Seared Pacific Cod with Salsa Fresca and Truffle Butter Sauce, Served with Asiago Polenta and Sautéed Green Beans.
  • Mediterranean Cous Cous with Roasted Winter Vegetables, Warm Roasted Chick Salad and Vegetable Kebob (Roasted Pearl Onion, Mushroom, Roast Tomato).

They all sound great. I tried to find on the internet some sample photos to match how I picture the meals.

Pacific Cod:

Chicken:
Tomorrow I'll compare to the real meal deal.
