Check out this commemorative issue of Spiderman with Barack Obama on the cover! This Amazing Spider-Man #583 will be available in the US on Jan 14 for $3.99.

I'm sure the team at Marvel comics is always keenly keeping an eye out for a cash-in chance to demonstrate altruistic patriotism.



The story revolves around Peter Parker spotting two Obamas on inauguration day.

He transforms into Spiderman. But can he pick the REAL Obama and save the day?

Of course he can.

It would appear as though the way to tell the real Obama from the fake is to see which is wearing a striped tie. If the tie is striped, the wearer is sure to be an evil impostor.

You can do it too!



Is this Obama wearing a striped tie?

We had dinner at Gloria's Portuguese Restaurant in Petersham with the newly weds, Kendy and Sharon! The last time we came was the previous Good Friday.

This place has been around for the past 20years and is currently run by Gloria's daughter, Eliana.

Gloria has retired and is pursuing her life-long dream of becoming a nurse at the Gold Coast.



The clams entree was beautiful. The fresh crustaceans were steamed with white wine and a generous dollop of butter. Squeeze in some lemon juice to give it more acidity and bring out the natural flavours.



Eliss ordered this casserole dish and it was pretty good too. The meat was really soft and the rice was lightly flavoured and the fragrance amazing.



My choice was an interesting one. Pork with clams over a bed of potato chips (more like cut short fries) with a vinaigrette kind of sauce.

The acidity of the sauce went very well with the meat and seafood. I was actually amazed how good it was.

I guess vinegar do go well with pork, as we have also a similar dish (for pregnant woman though).



Kendy, this video is to give you the heads up on another difference between man and woman.
