&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Complete Citizen Kane&lt;/em&gt; (1991, BBC). The most complete investigation in the origins and making of one of the most important films in cinema history. This excellent documentary was created as an Arena Special and includes interviews with Welles from BBC interviews in 1960 and 1982. It also includes an interview with Pauline Kael discussing her controversial “Raising Kane” article. The finest most insightful work ever done to date on &lt;em&gt;Citizen Kane&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

Humble food
Let me just say right now it’s a lot...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/31be6f128e7da380350a276859f9b88a/tumblr_mn65xklW6h1r0nhs9o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8b5e94b6e120a80f1d0d2d4673c71689/tumblr_mn65xklW6h1r0nhs9o2_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://tango-mango.tumblr.com/post/51019888831/humble-food-let-me-just-say-right-now-its-a-lot"&gt;tango-mango&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Humble food&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Let me just say right now it’s a lot more fun posting pictures of cookies with sprinkles or fudgy frosting on a cake than it is sharing pictures of bean soup or lentil dip. You can at least add a little melted cheese and some cilantro to white chili. But &lt;strong&gt;bean soup&lt;/strong&gt;? It is what it is. Some days around here we eat beautiful, vibrant food and other days we eat food that doesn’t have a lot of eye-appeal, even though it’s every bit as delicious.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Years ago I spent a couple of months off and on trying to recreate the bean soup we ate one summer at a restaurant near Long Lake, Wisconsin. I had ordered in on a whim and couldn’t get over how wonderful it was.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This favorite soup recipe is every bit as good as the one I remembered and now I’m passing it on to you. I usually serve it with &lt;a href="http://tango-mango.tumblr.com/post/45040009482/perfect-corn-bread-when-we-got-married-i-was-given"&gt;perfect corn bread&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;1 pound dried navy beans&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;2 carrots, peeled and sliced&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;1 large onion, chopped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;2 stalks celery, chopped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;1/2 pound (approximately) ham, or meaty ham shank&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;5 cups water or chicken broth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;2 dried bay leaves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;1 teaspoon salt, or more or less to taste&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Freshly ground pepper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"&gt;Directions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Thoroughly rinse and pick through the dried beans in a colander.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Put the rinsed beans, carrots, onion, celery, ham, water and bay leaves in a Dutch oven or soup pot. Bring mixture to boil over medium-high heat. Cover and let soup simmer on lowest heat for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;After cooking time, remove ham shank and separate the meat from the bone and fat. Cut the ham into bite-size pieces and return it to the soup pot. If you want a creamier texture, crush the beans in the soup a couple of times with a potato masher.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper. Serve.&lt;/p&gt;
