Freeform Forum: Names for Blog Series

-
I’m developing a schedule for my blog to give me the structure I need to stay focused to write.

Currently, my contribution schedule to Frankly Penn is set up that I’m blogging for work about once every two weeks.  Every fourth Tuesday I deliver Locust Walk Talk to the blog and every fourth Friday I post My Top Penn list, a Penn-themed top ten list.  These two cycles are staggered which leads to my biweekly blogging. 

To keep me motivated to write, I want to develop a few topics for blog series.

First off, I’m establishing the series, Freeform Forum.  It's that topic that I can write about anything.  It’s my potpourri topic title. 

Secondly, I want to solicit anyone for ideas for my titles for the two topics that I’m going to start writing about to get my personal blog to three entries a week.

I need help with the names, and I’m currently stuck in alliterative mood.

Topic one and tentative name: Food Flight
Entries will focus on finding foods that are memorable in town and in travel.  Anything under the sun will be featured including specific food items, drinks, potent potables, menus, a particular cuisine, etc. 

I thought that the pun on food fight was cute, with the word “flight” to suggest traveling.

Topic one and tentative names: Time Travel or History Holiday:
I always thought that the Travel Chanel and the History Chanel should develop a show together that focuses on historical places – locations on historical registers, sites of history making events. Part travel show and part history lesson. (e.g. San Diego is the Birthplace of California. Mission San Diego de Alcalá was built in part due the Spanish king’s fears of the Russians entering New Spain. Island Palms Hotel & Marina on Shelter Island is a relaxing and affordable way to stay in San Diego.)

As I said, I’m stuck in an alliterative mood.

What would you call a blog series on these two topics?

The day we lost Pluto

-
or (And your little dog, Goofy, too!) It’s official, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), founded in 1919, has defined (I never had that much time in my life to define something -- most of my identify and define tests were given in the time frame of 40 minutes, slackers.) what a planet is: A planet is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit. According to this definition, Pluto has been demoted from a planet to a dwarf planet. A dwarf planet is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, (c) has not cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit, and (d) is not a satellite. Pluto is a dwarf planet by the above definition and is ...

Isaac

-
On "Confessions on a Dance Floor," there's a song Isaac , which I have fallen in love with. There's a great Yemenite chant intermingled in the song, which is translated into "if all of the doors of all of the generous peoples' homes are closed to you, the gates of heaven will always be open." Of course, it's controversial. Some rabbis has called her blasphemous (Madonna blasphemous?) since they believed the song to be about a 15th century Kabbalist, Isaac Lurier. It is forbidden to invoke his name in order to make a profit. Madonna's response is that she named the song after the cantor, Yitzhak (Isaac in English) Sinwani, for lack of a better name. (Seriously, who cares, Madge is R.C. and she's known for blasphemy. Didn't she really give JPII a heartattack that finally did him in in April?) Madonna's lyrics are: Staring up into the heavens In this hell that binds your hands Will you sacrifice your comfort Make your way in a foreign la...

Braciole

-
While I had time off during the Christmas break, I spent it working on a braciole recipe for the slow cooker.   In Italian American cuisine, braciole (the word is commonly pronounced /ˌbrä-zhəl/ from the Sicilian dialect) is the name given to thin slices of meat, usually beef, that are prepared as a roulade, a meat slice rolled around a filling then browned and braised. When I first had braciole, they were small individual servings, like the German Rouladen.  However in my search for a slow cooker version, I discovered recipes that made a large roulade versus the individual portions.  If Giada can do it, then so can I. The effort that goes into crafting the individual braciole is intense. Therefore, I was excited that most of the recipes called for a big roast sized braciole.  Cutting down the directions to a comfortable level of simplicity makes for a delicious meal without the hours of toil and let's the cook enjoy the food. I played with these two recipes, Bo...
