Pho calls
If I lived somewhere in the middle of nowhere I would be jumping for joy at the arrival of Pho Hoa, the new Vietnamese soup emporium that has moved in to the Primrose Avenue spot vacated by the Golden Lake restaurant. But with the many nearby family-owned Vietnamese eateries (including Pho 88, another soup place…

Living in the fast (checkout) lane
Here’s a term you may not have encountered before — “convenience cuisine,” meals prepared superfast by using prepared, store-bought ingredients to whip up gourmet offerings sans annoying prep time. “Almost From Scratch” by Andrew Schloss (Simon & Schuster, $25) is the guidebook to turning new supermarket staples, such as sheets of nori seaweed, jars of…
Breathing lessons
Look at her. Michelle Branch is singing, and she looks like such a perfect shiny pop star. She can do pouty. She can do sexy. She can do demure. She plays guitar with Sheryl Crow’s swagger. She’s got a sweet, innocent voice Jewel should get royalties for. But look carefully. Look at Branch’s mouth, her…
Change the world
Like politics and religion (or, better yet, oil and holy water), music and Christianity are an uncomfortable mixture. Until recently, that mixture resulted in generic artists whose praises to God far outweighed the music itself, resulting in tunes as exciting as a Bible-study soundtrack. That’s why Orlando’s Anberlin — a rock group with thoroughly Christian…
Terminal humor
Sometimes funny hurts. And I guess that’s why comedy makes sense. But, in the case of Robert Schimmel, successful comedian of the HBO-special variety, the nature of said pain is particularly unfunny. Once a Dice-lite provocateur of sexual exploits and the fringes of decency, troubling censors and Conan O’Brien alike, Schimmel three years ago got…
An echo, not a choice
This week, the great, unwashed masses get their turn at the soapbox. We sent the following questionnaire to an assortment of our regular readers, allowing them to state their opinions and preferences on a variety of matters of the day. Our crack team of Taiwanese math whizzes then tallied the results, breaking them down by…
Feds ongoing pot war
Congress is expected to make a rare vote this week on medical-marijuana legislation. An amendment authored by Representatives Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) and Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) will prohibit the Justice Department from spending money to interfere with state medical-marijuana laws. Twelve states have enacted medical-marijuana laws; pot is said to relieve the nausea associated with chemotherapy,…
Dial 2-1-1
People looking to find social-service agencies have only to remember three digits. The Heart of Florida United Way has begun a phone referral system in which callers can locate 400 local charities. Backed with funding from Darden Restaurants and other sponsors, the 2-1-1 service is expected to cut through bureaucratic tangles, allowing people on the…
Healthier, happier and heterosexual
Alan Chambers is impeccably dressed. Freshly shined black loafers, no socks, a spotless white dress shirt tucked into unwrinkled, unfaded blue jeans. Not one of his closely cropped hairs is out of place; he wears no stubble. He has soft, almost glowing baby blue eyes and, if you look closely enough, long, neat eyelashes. Perhaps…
We’re waiting . . .
Let’s take a walk around the exciting, vibrant Church Street Station area of downtown, marveling as we go at all the changes under way — courtesy of downtown saviors Lou Pearlman and Robert Kling — that will soon bring life to this moribund corner of our city. Come on, it’ll be fun! Our tour begins…
Army of one
For the first three months of this year, K.B. Forbes spent much of his time flying to Orlando from his office in East Los Angeles. His mission: to interview more than 60 low-income people, mostly Hispanics, who had the misfortune of being ill enough to require a hospital visit. Every one of Forbes’ subjects had…
Digital vsionaries
In the past decade, the “digital revolution” went from overhyped pipe dream to inescapable annoyance to cultural watershed. From there, it was a few short steps to financial powerhouse, genuine social tumult and, finally, economic Superfund site. In the process, virtually every aspect of our social, cultural and political landscape — personal communication, financial planning,…
