Saw Sleepwalk With Me at the IFC Theatre today. Really well written movie – very funny – and was treated to not only some of the best movie theater popcorn ever, but a surprise Q&A session with Carol Kane. She played Mike Birbiglia’s mother in the film. You may also remember her from such films as The Princess Bride, where she played Billy Crystal’s wife.

Listened to a great Nerdist podcast this evening with Alton Brown as the guest. Even though he’s (Alton) curmudgeonly on Twitter, I still totally dig him.
Red Cabbage and Fennel Slaw with Beet Horseradish
This is a great little sturdy slaw that works great as a topping for pork burgers or sausages, or as a crunchy side for any other late-summer dinner.
Red Cabbage and Fennel Slaw
1/4 Granny Smith apple
1/4 bulb fennel
1/4 head red cabbage
2 Tbsp. beet horseradish
2 Tbsp. grapeseed oil
1 tsp. spicy mustard
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
Salt & pepper to taste
Shred the cabbage, julienne the apple and slice the fennel into wafer thin arcs, depositing into a large bowl as you go. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, mustard, vinegar and horseradish into a dressing. Pour over the salad & toss. Salt & pepper to taste.
Serves 2 for dinner as a side, 4 or more as a protein topper.

We’ve been re-watching one of our favorite shows, Battlestar Galactica. A two-geek household makes the question of ‘what do you want to watch tonight?’ pretty redundant – especially when a Battlestar marathon is an option. (except for Sunday’s True Blood break and Monday – that space has been reserved for Breaking Bad/catchup on non-Battlestar viewing).
