- You are probably thinking of Eminem's first album, released in 1999. We mentioned his new CD, which would be difficult to characterize as misogynistic.
- Thanks for your comment. We have done several interviews with people who are critical of Israel, including an activist who was a passenger on the ship that was involved in the conflict on Monday. These conversations today are part of continuing coverage.
- Jane, I'm (sincerely) curious as to why you mention that he's an elderly black man? This isn't a rhetorical question, believe me. Would you have felt it was less offensive if he were an elderly man of another color?
- You're right! Eggplant parmesan is both delicious and high in calories. Try this healthy version:
Ingredients
* 2 eggplants, (about 2 pounds total)
* 3 egg whites
* 3 tablespoons water
* 1 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
* 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, (1 ounce), divided
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
* 1/4 cup slivered fresh basil leaves
* 2 1/2 cups tomato sauce
* 3/4 cup grated part-skim mozzarella cheese, (3 ounces)
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat two baking sheets and an 8-by-11 1/2-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Cut eggplants crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Whisk egg whites and water in a shallow dish until frothy. Combine breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, salt and pepper in another shallow dish. Dip the eggplant slices into the egg-white mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. (Discard any leftover breadcrumbs and egg white.) Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, turn the eggplant slices over, and bake until crisp and golden, about 15 minutes longer.
3. Stir basil into tomato sauce. Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange half of the eggplant slices over the sauce, overlapping slightly. Spoon 1 cup of the remaining sauce over the eggplant and sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese. Add a layer of the remaining eggplant slices and top with the remaining sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until the sauce bubbles and the top is golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

- Rebecca, thanks for the comment. I pronounce the name of the Big Easy as my very close friends do, who were born and raised there. There are a number of ways to pronounce New Orleans, and here's an excerpt from The Gumbo Pages:
NEW ORLEENS – (two syllables) The way silly tourists pronounce “New Orleans”. Natives do not do this. Exception — song lyrics, as in “Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans”, for example, and when omitting the “New”, as in “Orleans Parish”, which is always pronounced . Confusing, isn’t it? More on this below.
First off, is generally a no-no. It’s like putting a big, red neon sign on your head that says, “I’m not from around here.” As also mentioned above, the two main exceptions are when it’s pronounced like that in song lyrics (easier to rhyme, but contributes to the confusion of non-natives) and when “Orleans” stands alone without the “New”, as in Orleans Parish.
Here are the major standard local pronunciations of the City’s name: , , , . The fabled “N’Awlins”, pronounced , is used by some natives for amusement, and by some non-natives who think they’re being hip, but actually I’ve come across very few locals who actually pronounce the name of the City in this way.
Ben Fortson, an Uptown boy, adds, “There are also versions without the final -s, as in Fats Domino’s “walkin’ to Noo Awlin”. The s-lessness is presumably from the French. Also, “Noo Awyuns”, with a -y- instead of an -l-, is pretty common in my experience, and kind of interesting from a linguistic point of view. By the way, the shorter versions like Nawlins and Nawlns that you say aren’t used much by locals have in fact been used at least by me all my life, for what that’s worth. Maybe Uptown is diff’rint.” (Yeah, it is, bra … it’s where dey got all dem shoits wid da lil’ gators on ‘em, and everyone has 59 rows o’ teeth!)
