Cavalcade of Food: Green Onion Dip
Spring is here and Ralph is back! He's behind the camera as Kevin shows how to make a tasty Green Onion Dip with cream cheese and lemon juice, using a vintage Sunbeam food processor. Looks yummy - think I will see if I can get M.P. to try this recipe.
P.S. - In case you missed it, you can catch a glimpse of the elusive Ralph in the video I posted last week, beginning in the Diner Museum here. I don't know these fellows personally, but they seem like great guys.

Sunday Drive: Words
As performed by the Bee Gees on the Ed Sullivan Show in March of 1968, with Barry rockin' that Prince Charming smile. Who could resist?

What We're Watching: The Wrecking Crew
It might be old news to the rest of the world, but we just discovered this 2008 documentary about the Los Angeles studio musicians who created the sounds we all loved in the 1960s. As Dick Clark says in here, "They played for so many people in so many styles. . . . They had the magic touch." Though rarely credited for their work back then, this show honors their contributions to the "West Coast Sound" that was heard 'round the world on radio, records, TV themes, and movie soundtracks. Fascinating.
An extra interview with delightful Carol Kaye, the only woman in the group, and a fabulous bassist:

Sunday Drive: Age of Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In
Your Head Trucker remembers listening to this upbeat medley on the radio in the spring of 1969 - 55 years ago. My God, where does the time go?
BTW, I saw them in concert in 1976. They put on a great show.

Cavalcade of Food # 428 - Walkthrough
In anticipation of a visit by a class of 2nd-graders, Kevin takes us on a walkthrough of the fabulous Cavalcade collection, including the typewriter section. Ah, sweet memories of life B. C. (before computers)!
Bonus: From a few years ago, Kevin and Ralph cook up some yankee fried chicken on the back porch:

BTW, I agree with everything Kevin says at the start about cursive writing.

Pilgrimage to Chimayo
My truckbuddy Frank had a post on his blog the other day on this shrine I'd never heard about. Some people call it the "Lourdes of America." I'm neither Catholic nor athletic, and the idea of a 40-mile hike uphill is rather uninspiring, to say the least. However, I can appreciate the spiritual impetus, and I'm sure many people do get a blessing of some kind thereby. The impious may jeer and laugh at such simplicities; but there are many worse ways to spend a weekend.
