FOOD WEEK DAY 4


Why are Andes Mints so good?

Back in the day, I mean way back in the day, there was a restaurant my folks would take me to in NH and they had these (for free - no joke), at the cash register.

Damn! I love these things.

A few weeks ago I hit a CVS where they were having a big 75% off Xmas candy. I saw this big package of Andes Mints for like $2.25. I've been eating those since (only have 5 little babies left).

Oh, the Andes Mint. A Wade classic.

January 20, 2007

ARE PEOPLE REALLY THINKING ABOUT WADE?

Call me an egomaniac, but yes, I googled my name this afternoon (please don't tell me you've never googled yourself, because you're a liar)!!!

Yes, I was actually trying to get some work done (no joke), but in a move to procrastinate I found my searching...

and I found a real interesting blog post at

blogabouttown.blogspot.com

This blog gave me a few plugs and I really appreciate it!

And yes, the theme music at the beginning of the Hoboken Italian Tuna Adventure is by Ennio Morricone (good ear).

DAN MARIO SHOCKER!!!!


Marino picks Dolphins (I mean the Colts) over the Patriots.

(note #1 - he had the Chargers over the Pats last week)


|


LET'S GO PATS!


Wow, I found out this week there's a lot of Patriot haters out there in the TriState Area.

Example One - Saturday Night - Pretty Girl who was an Eagles Fan (and loud about hating the Pats), then quiet about her Eagles losing.

Example Two - Monday Night - I overheard a guy on the PATH TRAIN talk about how much he hated Brady, and how he's SOOOOOOO over-rated.

Example Three - Tueday Night - A lady in line at Benny's openly gushed how she just hated the Patriots. BTW She had a (Winnepeg?) Jets tshirt on.

Example Four - Wednesday - Two guys at the bar (names undisclosed) telling me they are glad Colts Fans aren't selling tickets to Pats Fans (which I think is unfair still, even though I lost my debate with them --- PRETTY DAMN QUICK).

BUT WHO CARES WHAT THESE FOOTBALL FANS HAVE TO SAY, none of their teams are playing this weekend.

LET'S GO PATS! LET'S GO PATS!

WADE IN LOCAL NH PAPER!!!

In The City
Manchester's Own Adam Wade in Glamour Magazine
By JOHN CLAYTON
Union Leader Staff
January 15th, 2007

For the record, I am not a regular reader of "Glamour" magazine.

In fact, other than George Costanza - the "Seinfield" character who, as you may recall, had a peculiar affinity for that particular magazine - I don't know many men who would willfully purchase a copy of "Glamour."

On Friday, I did just that.

It's the February issue of the magazine, and after I managed to tear my gaze from the cover photo that highlights the gorgeous green eyes of the fabulous Jennifer Connelly, I was able to turn my attention to the work-related reason for my purchase.

The reason is on page 164.

It's a one-page photo feature called "It's Super-Chivalrous Dude!" and the reason I call it to your attention is because the dude in question is none other than Manchester's own Adam Wade.

If the name doesn't ring a bell, allow me to refresh your memory.

Adam was featured in this space a little over a year ago when he landed an on-air gig with the retro-sports network called ESPN Classic. That job was an extension of a show-biz crusade - including stand-up comedy bookings - that is making Adam a cult figure in Manhattan, and the latest manifestation of that crusade is a seven-photo spread in "Glamour."

I'll let him explain how it came about.

"It all began when I did a comedy story-telling show this summer in a small, crowded theater in Tribeca," he explained. "The theme was 'embarrassing journal entries you wrote in high school,' so I read a poem I wrote for a pretty hostess at the Puritan Backroom."

Of course, Adam was only 16 when he wrote that poem - those busboy/ice cream scoopers are chick magnets, you know - and the heart, the humor and the poignancy of his story came from the fact that the object of his affection was, in his words, "um, an older woman ... by a few years."

At least one audience member was touched.

"She told me she worked as an editor at 'Glamour' magazine,' Adam said, "and then... everything happened. She e-mailed me and said I'd be perfect for something they'd been working on."

Since the February issue of "Glamour" is understandably devoted to romance, editors wanted to see what would happen if a kind gentleman tried to perform courtly acts of chivalry in the Big Apple. Thus, Adam was cast as a modern-day Sir Galahad.

"The photo shoot took place around Manhattan and they gave me a $2,000 suit to wear," he said, although he reluctantly noted that the suit was only a loaner. "Still, considering I walked into the 'Glamour' office in a sweatshirt and jeans, I was taken aback by the transformation. Clothes really do make the man.

"I then roamed the city," he added. "I was trying to be as super chivalrous as possible while a photographer with a huge lens stood 50 yards away, trying to do his best to get some great photos of ladies reacting to my chivalrousness."

The general reaction?

"Shock and awe!" in the eyes of "Glamour."

Like any good boy from Manchester - even a Central High boy - chivalry came easily to Adam. He hailed cabs. He hauled shopping bags. He eased baby carriages down stairs. He offered his pricey jacket to a chilly woman - she freaked out and refused; this is New York City, after all - and he was even so gallant as to lay that same jacket in a puddle, a la Sir Walter Raleigh.

All in all, it was a grand experiment.

More importantly, it was another grand opportunity for Adam, whose constantly evolving Web site - www.adamwade.com - is the best way to keep track of his many adventures.


John Clayton is the author of several books on Manchester and New Hampshire, including the recently released "You Know You're in New Hampshire When." His e-mail is jclayton@unionleader.com

WADE : PENGUIN - THE MOVIE


Before Hollywood came around and commercialized penguins, they ran around not worried about their palm pilots and fancy cars. Yeah, back then, penguins tipped big and were cool animals. Oh, those great days before they sold out. Those great days when they meant something to people like me.

In memory before the bastardization of my favorite animal.

Let's relive those days here.


Can we SAVE THE PENGUINS? Or are they TOO FAR GONE?

NEXT WEEK, SOMETHING EXCITING....

It will be the 1st Annual ADAMWADE.COM FOOD WEEK!!! (exciting and tastey)
