DANG! Rusted Shut cancelled, apparently 2 weeks ago according to the
helpful bartender at M.O.D.. No ear blisters after all. However, the
club, located at 1732 Westheimer, just south of the Sound Exchange,
looks like a fine replacement for the old Axiom with a little Pik'n'Pak
thrown in. This is the old "Chutes" club now sans its metal siding
and bad rep for mummification fetishism. The beer (Shiner Bock longnecks
for only $1.50) and the air conditioning are cold, cold, cold. A little
of the Lola's influence is present as well, as the place also serves mixed
drinks and its eccentric interior spaces are black painted with the usual
flourescent murals. Young crowd, but not as predominantly teenybop as
Emo's. I think M.O.D. is an acronym, but don't care/didn't ask for what.
Can't say how the music sounded because I was so bummed that
R.S. weren't playing I bailed out to go see the "Bob Roberts" film
opening at the Cineplex Odeus. But, I recommend the club (and Bob Roberts)
and will be back again either when I'm thirsty or when the bands warrant
my presence.

No, not that.  THE Houston Jazz Festival which is held in
Herman Park (Miller Ampitheater) every year, and is 
FREE.  It is usually around the last weekend in August, or
the first couple of weekends in September, and I haven't
heard anything about it yet (I was out of town all summer).

    I think that by "dessert rice" you mean "sweet" or "glutinous"
rice, which is different from Japanese sushi rice.
    Japanese sushi rice is kinda sticky (actually, I've never seen
this uncooked), while glutinous rice is way sticky.  Glutinous rice is
great cooked with a little coconut milk and salt and served warm with
cool mango.
    My bag of glutinous rice looks kinda like pearl barley, has the
words "sweet rice" and "mochigome".  Says it can be used "to prepare
traditional Japanese Ohagi, Skihan (Red Rice) and Cherry Blossom
Mochi."
    I think we got the glutinous rice at the Fiesta at Main/Kirby/OST.
I've never been able to find Japanese sushi rice, but I haven't tried
too hard.
    Madhur Jaffrey's great book, _World-of-the-East Vegetarian
Cooking_, gives more detail about the differences between various
kinds of rices, as well as description of zillions of other
ingredients in various Asian cuisines from Lebanon to Singapore to
Hokkaido.  I think this book can be found in the Bookstop and maybe
also at Whole Foods.

If this is the same as "dessert rice" then you can also get it at
Whole Foods.  I think it is the same -- I have some and it's very
short grained and very sticky.  It's probably cheaper at a Chinese
grocery, though, or in fact any place other than Whole Foods.

I've gotten Japanese sushi rice at a small Japanese grocery store near the
corner of Westheimer and Wilcrest (there's a Kinko's close to it).  They
also have extremely fresh fish there.

Actually, as long as you stick to bulk stuff (spices, coffee, and the generic
bulk stuff) their prices aren't too bad. And on some things (basil, teas)
they have the best prices I've found. And they have the best store bought
italian sausage I've found.

I used cheap ordinary short-grained rice from the Diho market. ANY 
oriental market ought to be able to supply good-enough stuff.

This cookbook is definitely in the top two or three I've ever used. The
recipes are much healthier and more interesting than those in most 
vegetarian cookbooks, and I already know plenty of ways to cook meat.

Its recipe for felafel didn't work too well for us, though--we ended up 
adding an egg to hold everything together.

Hi Everyone!

I have a couple (actually three) True Blue IBM PS/1 computers to sell.
These are NEW and in the box.  The specs are like this:

IBM PS/1
80286
Monocrome VGA
3.5" 1.44Meg floppy
512K RAM
Internal 2400bps modem
IBM Mouse
Free Trial Subscription to Prodigy
Microsoft Works

I can't think of a better buy for the kids (Christmas is coming up
soon!).  This is great for college folks who need to do some pascal
programming for CS classes.  I only want $500 each and I will pick up
shipping.  If you don't like the price we can discuss it, but we
cannot venture too far from this price.

Please send replies to DGray@uh.edu or you can call (713)947-2510 and
leave a message on the machine.

I can.

Amiga 500, Used Mac Plus or equivalent, 386SX based clone.

I wouldn't saddle a kid with an 80286.

These systems are fine for dedicated application platforms... they'd
do just fine on a secretary's desk. They'd probably do fine for an older
person who's just going to call Prodigy, but please don't buy one for a kid.
You'll stunt his growth.
