Feed Me: Noyo Fish Co.

 The wharf in Fort Bragg is small scale compared to San Francisco.  It was a nice, quiet, misty morning.

I had clam chowder in a bread bowl, naturally.  It was delicious.  

They had local rock cod (Pacific rockfish) for the fish and chips, with a beer batter from North Coast's Scrimshaw Pilsner.

Yeah, we stopped there too.

It's 4/14! AKA 414 -- Milwaukee Day!

Too bad I don't have much to share about Milwaukee today other than we weren't hit by a tornado that I know of. Hey, it's a bigger city than you think even though I can see most of it from my couch.

What's On Tonight (Wednesday): We know they're no Superman

Scrubs

But do they use T-Mobile? Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, April 15!

Our Top Pick tonight is the season finale of Scrubs (ABC, 8 p.m. / Hulu, Thursday). Mark this revival down as one of the better examples of bringing back a previous property. Granted, Scrubs limped to its original ending and was never the massive pop culture hit it should have been, but this revival has done well bringing back its core characters and rediscovering the chemistry. Few succeed.

Elsewhere, Nova climbs aboard Artemis II, Elle Fanning has Money Troubles, Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser are Balls Up, Abbott goes for a night out, a tea party has Testaments, Peacock returns to Beyond the Villa, MasterChef cooks again, and TLC spends One Day in My Body.

Jeopardy! recap for Tue., Apr. 14

 Here are today's contestants:

- Stephanie Rice-Hoffner, a former car wash tech manager originally from New York City;

- Iain Carpenter, a healthcare IT specialist originally from Mahomet, Illinois; and

- Jamie Ding, a bureaucrat and law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Jamie is a 22-day champ with winnings of $627,600.

I will probably fall asleep to Hungarian dances tonight. Not just because I like them but because Hungary gave almost all of us reason to celebrate. J. Divan Vance might as well resign along with Eric Swalwell (dropping the gubernatorial race is not enough) because his use as VP is over. Of course he won't. Now Vance is going to find out if he has any support in the cabinet. Outside of a fatal event, Vance's only hope for a political future is the 25th Amendment. He doesn't require actual support. Just enough rats to flee. I'll turn the rest of tonight's Corner over to Rebecca Solnit from The Guardian US.

Eva Longoria: Searching for France

Ya basic! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, April 12!

Our Top Pick tonight is the series premiere Eva Longoria: Searching for France (CNN, 9 & 10 p.m.), ending a CNN-Top Pick weekend. This is the third series where Eva is searching but instead of Mexico or Spain, she is off to France. The girl must have a terrible sense of direction if she still can't find these places. She does do a lot of culture discovery and wining and dining.
