ROCCO CARBONE



ROCCO'S IS CARBONE ?



ROCCO'S IS CARBONE !
The former Greenwich Village Old-Schhol Red-Sauce Italian Joint, Rocco's a beloved little neighborhood trattoria closed two years ago as most people know. Squeezed out by a greedy lanlord and the so-called Torrisi Boys; Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, and Jeff Zalaznick ... Some hard-core old-school Italians were really miffed and the final straw some said was when the ne-owners superimposed the name "Carbone" right over the Old Rocco Neon Sign .. They said the Torrisi Boys add "Insult to Injury" with that one, not to mention prices like $52 Veal Parmigiano and sky-high prices across the board on; cocktails, food, and wine ...

"ABIDE and GET YOURSELF A COPY"

"MY BOOKD IS AVAILABLE In PAPERBACK
and That NEW FANGLED THING KINDLE"

On AMAZON.com




PRES REEASE:     The BIG LEBOWSKI COOKBOOK  ..  GOT ANY KAHLUA ?




For Immediate Release
New York

Big Lebowski Amazon Cook Book Launch


The Big Lebowski, one of the greatest cult movies of all time, has hit home with food lovers across America. Many of the "greatest hits" of America’s favourite foods are in the book.  The recipes are mostly quick and easy to make, of course tasty and with the budget conscious in mind.

The best of the Big Lebowski scenes and characters are captured by imaginative recipe titles with funny twists, such as "Dude's Chocolate Kahlua Sauce," "Crazy Wings," and "Gooey Chop-Meat."

The Big Lebowsi and philosophy are always closely tied in, and this is not ignored by what may seem on the surface to be just another cookbook. But don't judge this book by its cover. This isn't just a book of easy Super Bowl recipes - it aims to make great food easy and cheap to make, so people can spend less time cooking and more time enjoying the food with their friends and loved ones.

"Got Any Kahlua - The Collected Recipes of The Dude" will be a big hit with Achievers everywhere (the name the cult movie's followers have adopted). Not just a recipe book, it involves the philosophy of The Dude and forms a small cookery course in itself - penned by New Yorke writer, Daniel Bellino Zwicke, a wine and restaurant professional for over 20 years.

The Big Lebowski movie was a phenomenon that shot Jeff Bridges to messiah status in 1998 and starred an eclectic mix of movie stars. It seems appropriate that such a mix of fun and flavoursome foods has been chosen to remind us of its greatness. 

This recipe book is almost ghost written by The Dude himself, and Daniel describes the book: “Dude has collected a lifetime of wonderful recipes, like, Dudes Cowboy Chili, Gooey Chop Meat, Da Fino's Meatballs, and more. Dude will teach you how to make a tasty Taco, Burrito, Ramen, Tuna-Fish Sandwich or whatever your little Achiever Heart desires. Being The Dude, all these recipes are Easy, Economical, and of course Tasty! The Dude wouldn't have it any other way. And the Dude wants to help you and guide you along the way to a beautiful journey as you cook along with The Dude, you will always Abide!"

If the movie's nuances have escaped you in the past, you can stop wondering what is the Big Lebowski about, and start enjoying social gatherings without fuss whenever you have the guys around for the football game.

"Got Any Kahlua: Collected Recipes of The Dude" is available in both paperback and digital format on your local Amazon store now.

Paintings Edward Hopper



EDWARD HOPPER




Study for "OFFICE at NICE'

Pencil on Paper


Edward Hopper painted American landscapes and cityscapes with a disturbing truth, expressing the world around him as a chilling, alienating, and often vacuous place. Everybody in a Hopper picture appears terribly alone. Hopper soon gained a widespread reputation as the artist who gave visual form to the loneliness and boredom of life in the big city. This was something new in art, perhaps an expression of the sense of human hopelessness that characterized the Great Depression of the 1930s.
    Edward Hopper has something of the lonely gravity peculiar to Thomas Eakins, courageous fidelity to life as he feels it to be. He also shares Winslow Homer's power to recall the feel of things. For Hopper, this feel is insistently low-key and ruminative. He shows the modern world unflinchingly; even its gaieties are gently mournful, echoing the disillusionment that swept across the country after the start of the Great Depression in 1929. Cape Cod Evening(1939) should be idyllic, and in a way it is. The couple enjoy the evening sunshine outside their home, yet they are a couple only technically and the enjoyment is wholly passive as both are isolated and introspective in their reveries. Their house is closed to intimacy, the door firmly shut and the windows covered. The dog is the only alert creature, but even it turns away from the house. The thick, sinister trees tap on the window panes, but there will be no answer.





NIGHTHAWKS

HOPPER'S Most FAMOUS PAINTING

Paintings such as Nighthawks (1942) convey a mood of loneliness and desolation by their emptiness or by the presence of anonymous, non-communicating figures. But of this picture Hopper said: `I didn't see it as particularly lonely... Unconsciously, probably, I was painting the loneliness of a large city.' Deliberately so or not, in his still, reserved, and blandly handled paintings Hopper often exerts a powerful psychological impact -- distantly akin to that made by the Metaphysical painter de Chirico; but while de Chirico's effect was obtained by making the unreal seem real, Hopper's was rooted in the presentation of the familiar and concrete.
