Chowder & Gumbo: Kissing Cousinsnew

Gumbo is the younger of the two, but both stem from the same family tree. These two recipes are, in essence, the story of the people who originally made them. And in the same way that someone may start a family tree at the present and work backwards, that's sometimes the logical way to do culinary research.

Bloody but Unbowed: Clint Eastwood's 'Invictus'new

The two things Invictus has going for it are the use of Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) as its central character and its underdog sports story. Americans like against-all-odds athletic tales. Even so, I think it may be something of a hard sell. Hoosiers this isn’t.
