Three Beautiful Things 11-14-2022: The Sube, Souped Up Soup, No Hero's Welcome in this Movie

1. I had the Sube serviced today and it's hanging in there. 

2. I cooked hamburger soup this afternoon and decided to season the ground beef with cinnamon and allspice. I thought it worked great.

3. I didn't quite finish watching The Blue Dahlia (1946) tonight, but, right from the get go, this movie plunges its viewers into a world of post-WWII adultery, betrayal, PTSD, violence, alienation, distrust, and uncertainty. In other words, it wastes no time establishing that in the world of this movie, at least, these WWII veterans were not welcomed home as heroes and soon discovered that they were returning home to a country shot through with corruption, deceit, and confusion.
