RALPH BAKSHI AT STEVE'S

Here's a few photos of Ralph and Steve that I took a couple of days ago. Sorry about the blur and the yellow. Geez, the color is yellow green and that's even worse.

It was wonderful to see Ralph again, especially after seeing his "Last Days of Coney Island" again on Cartoon Brew. That film is amazing. If you haven't seen it yet, give it a look.

Haw! Steve looks like he's sucking on a pin. I include it here because Ralph looks so doggone manly in this photo. Even though he's old enough to retire he still comes off as what martial arts people call, "dangerous."

A CHRISTMAS PRESENT SUGGESTION

This suggestion comes from Steve Worth, the esteemed web master of Animation Resources (link on the sidebar). He recommends the "T-fal OptiGrill," a device obtainable on the net that thaws and cooks meat quickly and automatically. 

The cook need only enter the type of meat by tapping a picture icon, and set a dial for rare, medium rare, medium, etc. Sensors inside the machine do the rest. Meat without bone seems to cook the best. 

The grill and fat collector come off and clean easily...it's like a George Forman grill in that respect. 

The grill-cooked pork chop I ate was tender and juicy and cooked just right. Geez, the future is here!
