Why can not people refuse Italian baked ziti with meatballs?

The anonymous verdict among gourmets is that the meatballs in the Italian baked ziti with
meatballs is so extraordinary that you would keep asking for more. The ingredients like eggs,

milk, beef and parsley mixed together give it a flavor that is not easy to forget. Add to this,
the pasta and the meatballs and you have something that is hard to refuse. Meatballs should
not be too big because the insides will not cook evenly if they are. Overworking the ball also
makes it lose the original taste. Remember not to rinse which if you do, will wash off the
natural starches. Tomato sauce and ricotta give the distinct tangy taste. Now you why you
can not refuse this.

Rock and And Roll until I Lost Interest

What in 1950s started as Rock and Roll ended some time in the late 70s. What now passes for Rock and Roll is only the form sans substance. Rock as we knew it was a most consistent yet constantly transmuting form of music chaperoned by as varied luminaries as the Supremes, Blondie, Credence Clearwater Revival and the king of them all Elvis with whom, on a personal note, this writer had become so besotted that he had to christen anything he begot, physically or metaphorically, after him. Rock and Roll, no doubt sadly, eclipsed the glorious days of Doris Day, Johnny Ray and others of the era. Bill Halley, Elvis, Chuck Berry and a host of others set the toes tapping and fingers snapping with their vibrant and never-heard-before sounds. Eddie Cochran, the handsome, an even handsomer Ricky Nelson and Buddy Holly who was immortalized, perhaps at Elvis' cost, by Don McLean two decades later, are still big favorites.

Kaleidoscopic spread of rock and roll spawned acid rock, heavy metal, bubble gum, glam rock, folk rock and a host of other sub-species. The 60s were enlivened by rock going electric all the way, purists disclaiming the trend, but like Bob Dylan said, times, they were a-changing. America reigned supreme those days. They had it going like a wild fire. Until 1962. That was when the bubble burst.

Except for the diligent few, not many Michael Jackson enthusiasts realize what happened those days was something improbable, not like the mere switch-over mechanism that followed Thriller. The Beatles turned the world upside down. They simply changed the face of music with their one song I wanna hold your hand. This song and others that followed echoed through mountains and valleys, seven seas and five continents. When the bubble burst, the fall-out was incredible. There was a deluge. British bands' numbers swelled and the deluge spiraled with the likes of the Rolling Stones, the Herman's Hermits and the Hollies regularly spinning out magical numbers. Together, they swept the Americans off their feet.

Which brings us to the quintessence of American response with the Monkees who were unabashedly just another Beatles, the Archies and the Beach Boys. Many amongst the readers must be shocked that Brian Wilson should have been included in this list but even his die-hard fans (this writer is one) would agree that the raw energy of Lennon and McCartney was clearly missing even in the peppiest numbers the Beach Boys belted out. An unlikely hero emerged out of nowhere and surpassed even the Lennon and McCartney team. Shedding his Jewish name, a Woodie Guthrie fanatic, now named Bob Dylan, with a nasal twang burst on the scene and held sway. Critics soon lampooned him for turning electric but he went on doggedly, and thank God for that!

Guitar metamorphosed into God and the high-priests Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison and umpteen other demi-Gods coaxed us all into trying our hands at being practitioners er.... no, well, pretenders. Not long after wards though, piano claimed its place on the high pedestal, perhaps a rung below with adherents like Elton John and Richard Clayderman.

One hit wonders like Cascades with Listen to the Rhythm of the Falling Rain, Ohio Express with Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, Dana with All Kinds of Everything, Johnny Nash with I Can See Clearly now and the Shocking Blues with Venus made their appearance and had gone nobody knows where but frankly, who needs another hit with a hit like those?

Meanwhile, folk rock made its appearance with Jethro Tull, Peter, paul and Mary and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young but it was Simon and Garfunkel and perhaps even Gordon Lightfoot that people are still crazy about. John Denver, God bless his soul, for countless people, personified country rock but even he, gentle soul that he was, would have readily given his nod to Don Williams, Johny cash and Willie Nelson among others.

Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead and the like made people delirious with their out-of-this-world music and a pure 100% rock was being dished out by the Sweet, T. Rex, Deep Purple, Alan Parsons Project and Atlanta Rhythm Section etc. No names here, but there were countless pretenders too.

Some wrote their songs and sang them too. Neil diamond, James Taylor, Burt Bacharach and Cat Stevens were all pioneers with no comparison. Tragedies struck too. Drugs had taken away Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin.......... . Some though, escaped the deathly drugs, Johnny Cash being one who became a born-again Christian to boot. A Jody Foster crazed fiend shot dead John Lennon for reasons best known to himself. Accidents mercilessly snatched away Mark Bolan, Buddy Holly and John Denver. And, perhaps in keeping with the times, Freddie Mercury contracted AIDS and had to say good-bye. Incidentally, the Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody is widely agreed to be the best ever song, whether you agree or not.

Detractors were many and some were condescending. Frank Sinatra who first took the micky out of rock later sang live duets with Elvis, signaling the change. Parents left clueless by the new music came round and sneaked into record shops first and then what the hell, did it openly. Can you, those days, have even imagined Elton John and Paul McCartney being knighted?

Come 1980 and suddenly we rockers found ourselves orphans. The music changed abruptly and it was rock no more. We were at sea and had not a clue what was happening. Maybe times, they were a-changing. We did not want to change. May be we are too old for rock and roll but we are too young to die, happy to sit by the fire in our rocking chairs with a hot cup of coffee, or better still, a chilled glass of beer in hand and listen to a Lobo or a Donovan.

are these badhshas of bollywood (amir khan, shah rukh khan, amitabh bachn) just pulling our legs, writing their head off against each other in their blogs?

what will happen if Obama takes over America?

Blacks will not, as many may suspect, take over the country.

The country will be rid of a woman president!

That in itself is a boon to the citizens of the U.S.

is Obama President Material?

He could easily be, provided James Brown of 100 Rifles, Will Smith et all could also be!!!

And to continue in the same vein as my last blog, the Hindu god-men are even more unabashed.

They could bring back the dead to life, cause earthquakes and order them to cease too and you name it, they can do it!

I saw one such farcical man who claimed that he could produce a child out of mud, a la the creation according to Bible.

Why do we allow these people to infest the earth?

Have you heard of a man who visits heaven as a routine, meets there his stillborn child who is now a grown-up man, meets again his now middle-aged daughter who died as a young girl, receives advice and spiritual guidance from her?
In fact, heaven is his second home, you could say!

Who is this lucky and pious man?

None other than the charlatan evangelist Dr. (whaddaya know?) Dinakaran from Madras.

Have you heard of him?

Have you come across a more wierd thing than the Indian Communists?
No? Yes, how could you?

They are the creation of an antedeluvian and mediocre theory of evolution. No controversy here about natural selection or intelligent design!

These jokers talk of common man's uprise and all they manage to do is, raise their bank balance!
They go pedagocally about Marx and Lenin and forget the essence of their teachings.

One example of their changing colours will put a chamelion to shame:

West Bengal, ruled by them goes all hog and is ready to do anything to attract capitalist money to it by way of investment but let anything of semblence happen elsewhere in India and just watch them jumping like they had stepped onto a hot tarmac!

Funny people these commies are but a millstone around India's progress.

Methinks that the Beegees, though one of the finest groups to make music, started the decline of music with some of the materials in their Saturday Night Fever. And, the downhill journey was swift with Michel Jackson and a host of others mlike M C Hammer..... You know what I am talking about.

Think of the days when Herman Hermits, the Who, the Ohio Express belted out songs in various manifestations of rock and pop and oh, yes, country too!

Do you remember the days when the world went gaga over Bob Dylan's going electric?

More on this vein follows!

Try Your Hand at Continuing a Story

Here is a story, folks, left in the lurch, as it were!


Anybody and everybody is most welcome to continue with the story and it could even be a chain story with more and more people joining in:


I had been sitting, nursing my coffee, in the darkest corner of the make-shift restaurant for what looked like a lifetime but could not have been more than 20 minutes, thinking of ways to killing my wife - well, not actually thinking but reveiwing -but discarding one after another as implausible and at my wits end when in walked the object of my hate in person!

It was all I could do not to jump out of my skin for the last person I expected to see in such a seedy place but more than that, the last place I would have expected my oh-so-high-flown wife to show up in her never-get-old-clothes was my wife and the seedy place respectively!


Hi, everybody,

Anybody to take up the story further?

Please feel yourself at home and try your hand

Best of luck and thank you

the touche topic

I had been thinking about a very sensitive God who gets all worked up by a mere man's illustration of him in a cartoon.

A cartoon is primarily to look at, laught at and mostly forgotten about in a day or two.

And, if the object of the unintened ridicule gets tochy about it, is he really God?

mmmmm I wonder!

Dan Brown sure had it all wrong.

You could agree with him only if you go with the theory that Jesus was a man.

And, had Jesus been a man, why bother at all? I mean, he must have been like any other man with other bodily functions. Yes, of course he did all that we do with our bodies except sex.

e didn't have to have it simply because he was a child in his heart /mind. We all know sex takes its origin not in the libido but in the heart/mind. And children don't need to have sex.

In fact they aren't even aware of it.

Too simple?

Think about it, my friend!!

hi everyone
