Pale Male is dead. Long live the Pale Males!

Found near his usual haunts in Central Park. He had the distinct markings that gave him the name but Vets were unable to save him. He died of sepsis and old age.

There are some naysayers. He would have been over 30 years old which is much older than most of his kind. Pale Male did father numerous offspring, passing on those Pale Male markings many times

He was an international celebrity, had a predilection for baby birds in season and occasionally dropped pigeon parts on patios below his pad.

Most everyone does but there are some who have only dogs!

Forbidden City

Tonight at Forbidden City on Avenue A we gorge on Wasabi Baby Octopus, a generous tender plateful of them in a nose-burning sauce, followed by Salt & Pepper Squid with shredded green peppers and iceberg lettuce. We move on to a Dumpling Tasting:

Scallop
Shrimp & Spinach
Shrimp & Leek
Pork and Shrimp
Beef Shumai
Vegetable
Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms
Shrimp
Shark Fin

Each one is better than the other, we can't decide though the stuffed mushrooms are perhaps the best. Then we almost ruin it all by being gluttons and ordering a serving of too sweet, too fatty five spice BBQ Spare Ribs which melt in your mouth.

Our nondescript Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile is adequate, opaque with a peppery chocolate middle but no finish, it actually goes well with even the spicy wasabi.

Back home now, for a change I'll have a piece of Entenmann's Marble Loaf Cake with my usual Jello chocolate pudding ... coming up shortly.
