It’s harvest time here in Western New York, and the pace of life is accelerating: Tomatoes are ripening too quickly, or not quickly enough. Schools are back in session. The theaters and galleries have commenced their new seasons. The air is brisk. There is business to be done.

Often when I discuss cooking, I try to emphasize how simple it is, and that it may sometimes seem overly complicated when in fact it is not. Of course there are certain culinary techniques to follow—rules, if you like—but for the most part good, wholesome cooking is pretty easy.

If you were lucky enough to be in the audience at Kleinhans Music Hall on a cold, Saturday night last January, and heard the dazzling young pianist, Joyce Yang, deliver an electrifying performance of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Music Director JoAnn Falletta, you will want to be in the audience at the Flickinger Auditorium, on the Nichols School Campus, this Friday

I made no attempt to see the new Pedro Almodóvar at the Toronto International Film Festival. Nor either of the George Clooney films, the one he directed or the one he merely stars in. I didn’t stand in line for David Cronenberg’s movie about Jung and Freud, much as I would like to see it. I never even considered seeing Moneyball, Drive, Killer Elite, Machine Gun Preacher, or 50/50, and I don’t understand why anyone else did.

It’s nice to see auto makers treating small-car buyers like something more than second-class citizens. Used to be, when you went into a dealership to buy the cheapest car they had, what you got what a cheap car. Now you’re more likely to end up with maybe the least-expensive car they have, but it’s by no means the El-Cheapo throw-away tin can we used to see.

In the first season after the NHL lockout, I lived in a small town in Western Pennsylvania, and Rick Jeanneret was my lifeline to Buffalo and the Sabres. I never crouched on a hilltop with a transistor radio like Terry Pegula supposedly did, but I did have DSL service for the first time, enabling me to stream GR55 on game nights without interruption.

The medical establishment generally regards placentas (afterbirth) as biohazardous waste, but to New York City placenta chef Jennifer Mayer, they are a nutrient-laden meat that can alleviate postpartum depression and aid in breast milk production (among other so-far-unverified benefits).

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Our job is to become more and more of what we are,” says poet Marvin Bell. “The growth of a poet seems to be related to his or her becoming less and less embarrassed about more and more.”

I’m a hardcore Bills fan. For my birthday this year, three of my buddies bought me a season ticket. They’ve had season tickets for years, and they presented the gift with a lot of teasing in front of my wife. They said things like, “Now you’ve got no excuse to stay home. You’re coming to the games with us!”
