I had *such* a lovely dinner tonight, sitting at the bar of the @the_himalaya_cafe Chef Akshay worked calmly and methodically, despite working solo to prepare dinners for those of us in the restaurant as well as a long line of take out orders. And, he still had time to flash a smile at his audience now and then. The food, as always, was spectacular. Tonight: Gobhi Manchurian (“Chinese-influenced Indian dish of stir-fried cauliflower, peppers and sweet chili sauce”), Tikka Masala and Korma. The ambience is sophisticated, lots of wood, candles and chill music. And, such great, friendly service. Don’t miss a chance to visit. #shorelinect #oldsaybrookct #connecticut

After a day inside working at my computer, I needed to get out of the house, so tonight I drove along the water at sunset with my windows rolled down. It was Nice, cool fall night. I stopped at the beach after the sun had set. Look at these photos and imagine the sound of seagulls, gentle waves lapping at the shore and quiet, cheerful conversations from other people gathered to enjoy this blessed place as well.

Once again, some delicious linguine (no autocorrect, not “lingerie”) and Rhode Island clams at Ristorante Amarone. I always add hot pepper flakes to mine. Such a TREAT!!! And charming service from our server Nick as well.

Eleonora Duse, the great Italian stage actress known simply as “Duse,” was born today, October 3, 1858. From the jacket of Helen Sheehy’s excellent bio: “Writers loved her and wrote plays for her. She be-friended Rainer Maria Rilke and inspired the young James Joyce, who kept a portrait of her on his desk. Her greatest love, the poet d’Annunzio, made her the heroine of his novel Il fuoco (The Flame). She radically changed the art of acting: in a duel between the past and the future, she vanquished her rival, Sarah Bernhardt. Chekhov said of her, “I’ve never seen anything like it. Looking at Duse, I realized why the Russian theatre is such a bore.” Charlie Chaplin called her “the finest thing I have seen on the stage.” Gloria Swanson and Lillian Gish watched her perform with adoring attention, John Barrymore with awe. Shaw said she “touches you straight on the very heart.” In the late 1990s I went to the MOMA twice to watch her only cinematic role- the 1916 silent film Cenere (Ashes) - in a tiny room crowded with papers and filing cabinets- it was a magical performance. Later, I saw the film accompanied by live piano(Walter Reade Theatre or Film Forum?)- see it if you Ever have the opportunity. #theatre #eleonoraduse #duse

Keep your cities, and I’ll keep New England, Connecticut, @madisonconnecticut - and in this case East Wharf Beach. Just over five minutes from my house. A beautiful view of Long Island sound. The sound of seagulls and ocean waves crashing. Cold pizza and Pinot noir. My next @bostonglobelife article plus a novel by Wallace Stegner and some poetry by Louise Glück. This is the life! #newengland #connecticut #madisonconnecticut

This is me, happy as a clam, en route to a photo shoot and interview for @bostonglobelife, sampling some tasty, briny @channelrockoysterco oysters from Barnstable Harbor and Fabulous crispy cod tacos w spicy cream, charred pineapple poblano slaw & Cotija cheese at @LobsterTrap, a fish market and restaurant on the Back River in Bourne. Yes, that’s a corn tortilla! Look at the gorgeous view behind me. And great service from server Julie! Side note: this is one of the great things about living in Connecticut. New York City one day, Cape Cod the next. Two hours in either direction. #capecod #massachusetts #oysters #newengland
