After that last course in the White Woman Restaurant — the overstuffed platter from Ms. Palmieri — here's the palate-cleanser you need.

Lah-di-dah.
She seems nice in a ditzy kind of way, not far removed from the characters she plays, apparently.
If she cooked more she'd a have a big container with spatulas, spoons, etc. at arms-length.
And who can begrudge her the enormous kitchen? She worked to be able to afford it.
I rate it as a cuteness factor of 3 out of 5 Hello Kitties (my measure of cute).
Diane Keaton has aged well.
Her forks are as far out as her fashion sense.
When the hell WAS Annie Hall filmed/
I love people.
Her upper cabinets are WAY too high for her.
A standard distance between counter top and upper cabs is 18". Standard height between range top and vent hood is 20"-24".
Someone aligned the hood and the upper cabinets, and in her case, that is a mistake as she is short, and probably shrinking. Like what happens as we age.
She can barely reach the first shelf inside those uppers. *bad*
Feng shui.
A big beautiful celebrity kitchen that is probably all for show and not so great on function.
The good news is she gets a little workout going rattling around in there.
Annie Hall lives.
Diane, the perennial fashion goddess. Her hands, from this quick glance, look arthritic. The long sleeves hide, warm, and make an asset out of what others would consider a deficit.
Also, of course Diane's forks are placed illogically. I'd be disappointed if they weren't.
Best kitchen since Polosi ate high priced ice cream to impress the poor. Diane K asks, “Does this dress make me look fat?”
Hahaha. I enjoyed that. But what is she wearing? Are petticoats back in style?
Hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on a rarely-used commercial kitchen: No wonder black people hate us.
She needs to get back down the beanstalk before the ogre wakes up.
The forks were in a drawer just a couple feet away in the direction opposite from the way she walked. She had to walk all the way around a big kitchen island because there was a live lobster on the floor blocking the shortest route to the forks.
I've never worn a hat to cook; I don't dislike it.
"Hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on a rarely-used commercial kitchen: No wonder black people hate us."
Why would they? I'm guessing Oprah and Magic Johnson have very nice kitchens. Work hard, make money, and build a nice kitchen.
Anybody can do it.
Okay, Kay, just this one time I'll let you ask me about my business. Just this once."
"Michael, is it true that you'd hire a ditz?"
"No."
I love her endless amusement, wonder and self-aware neurosis; one of the most attractive female personalities ever.
She has figured ut that the time it takes to clomp over to get a fork out of the drawer and back is the exact time to crisp one side of the chapati. (I have a number of these hacks in my limited repertoire of cooking.) That's why she doesn't have the fork out beforehand.
Her clomping reminded me of a grade school story we learned to tell with slapping knees and other body parts with different cupping of hands to convey walking, riding a horse, etc. Haven't thought about that in years. Thanks for the memories, Ann.
My spreadsheets updated. Some notes:
I have now included all the states plus D.C. in the spreadsheet "Individual States". Just access the tabs at the bottom- they are alphabetical with respect to the postal code. This means that the sheet for Wisconsin is now found in this particular collection of sheets. I have also rearranged the columns a bit to make it easier for me to update them each day, but the same columns are found as before.
In the spreadsheets "United States Data", I have updated the various charts and rearranged them a bit. They now include Cumulative Positive Rate, 7 Day Moving Average of Daily Positive Rate, and the 7 Day Averages of New Tests, New Cases, and New Deaths plus the daily deltas in these last three series so that you can get a visual feel of the rates of change.

I will update each evening, but if you bookmark them now, you can access the updates without me having to write a new comment each day.

Celebrities?
There are two kinds of people in the world- those with a room just for forks, and those without.
Man, I wish I had a kitchen like that. I might actually cook.
I think a lot of people would be and act more like this just living how they wanted if the marxist fascists were wiped out.
I'm bothered by the fact that she's only making one taco when there's clearly another person in the kitchen. She's either incredibly selfish or anorexic.
Her kitchen is recently re-modeled I would guess. All that trendy white and grey.
I notice the sargento cheese there. Yuck. Even for cheap cheese it's gross.
You s'posed to heat corn tortillas right on the burner grate over the open flame if you are wanting a real Mexican cultural appropriation. I'm sure Gringo Drago will confirm
Thanks Yancey. That's good info
I also dress like a giant pumpkin when making pancakes in the kitchen.
Happy Halloween Diane!
She was walking in place while gulping from the neck of a wine bottle off camera.
It seems that her kitchen was designed in the era of a style I call The Graying of America. Grey cabinets. Grey floor. Stainless appliances. Exciting (not!) black accents. Sometimes the makeovers featured on shows like The Property Brothers looked as though someone had gone at the entire room with a can of gray spray-paint. Like the way a set-designer may coat all the background flats on stage with gray paint to represent a nighttime scene, or a haunted house.
That kitchen appears to violate all the current advice on functional and efficient space planning and layout. Being an organized sort, unlike Ms. Keaton, I have everything I need and will use out and nearby when commencing cooking. I'm thinking maybe she doesn't actually cook all that often.
Are we allowed to comment on the outfit?
What is she wearing on her feet to make such a stomping noise?
Howard:"You s'posed to heat corn tortillas right on the burner grate over the open flame if you are wanting a real Mexican cultural appropriation. I'm sure Gringo Drago will confirm"
When in Tijuana I always made sure to be with school pals who had family living there to ensure the street vendors we frequented were the "right ones", which is more important than how your corn tortillas are heated (BTW, heated in tin foil over a hot plate works just as well as over a burner).
The last thing you want to find out too late is that you just ate 3 day old cat meat.
To this day I still don't know what they put in the avocado/salsa to make it taste so good. I've never been able to recreate that street vendor taste.

her forks may be far away, but here at Althouse,

The data continue to be interesting Yancey Ward. I still cannot see a consistent pattern from among the states. This virus doesn't seem affected by the various measures being taken by individual states.
"I notice the sargento cheese there. Yuck. Even for cheap cheese it's gross."
Elitist.
30 feet.
forget Keaton burning her tortillas for a sec--
Nantes cathedral torched. Was it "Les Garcons Boogalieu" ?
Boogalieu Bois de Boulonge ?? ...or Antifa/muzzies/BLM???
That dress makes her look really odd, her arms scarily long like the subway creatures from The Wiz (I can't find a decent picture to link to, just this). It's disturbing.
Diane has the best smile.
Yancey - geez. My brain cannot take that in. btw- I miss Bagoh's reports on Sweden. I think I heard that Sweden, after not destroying their economy like we did, is no worse off than the rest of us. Yes, there are cases and deaths, but no worse if you run the numbers.
gee thanks, yancey!
Woody Allen had a choice.

What people REALLY need to see are deaths. Per cdc we are down to nomember 2019 levels for all age groups. Yup. Pretty Close to zero for all age groups.

This is not to say that deaths ahavent been screwed with to inflate them artificially. They have been. But even with that: still close to zero

When it comes to cheese - ya betcha.
I was right. See below!
7 seconds to forks. Average human walking speed is about 3 MPH.
7s * 3 mi/hr * 5280 ft/mi * 1hr/3600s = 30.8 ft away
She is well known for remodeling numerous houses in LA and for her somewhat but not too eccentric aesthetic.
Like Trump she styles herself as a cartoon character.

Decades ago a friend of mine who worked briefly in the movie industry (on the set of Crimes of the Heart, as it happens) got me her autograph. It was on the back of a 9”x12” manila envelope in a large, uncapitalized, barely legible scrawl. Years later I discarded it. My friend died from ALS, far too young. Late summer afternoon memories...

Barbara Hershey, all day, every day, 10/10.
It took her 18 steps to get to the forks and only 12 to get back. She must know a short cut.

I miss Julia Child.
Did she provide her own wardrobe for all her movies or steal the wardrobes from all her movies?
“Hey diddle diddle,
The Cat and the Fiddle,
The Cow jump'd over the Spoon,
The little dog laugh'd to see such Craft,
And the Fork ran away with the Spoon.”
Wow! She's still doing the same hat.
She's not an actress. She's a neurosis.
Some people do their forking in the bedroom, which can be a hike from the kitchen.
"The data continue to be interesting Yancey Ward. I still cannot see a consistent pattern from among the states. This virus doesn't seem affected by the various measures being taken by individual states."
There is a pattern, but it is masked by the heterogeneous entry of the virus into the United States, and the lockdowns (which are effective at suppressing the rate of growth in the infected, but not at extinguishing it).
In summary:
(1) The virus exploded in March/April in those states with large international airports.
(2) Those areas with heavily used urban transport- subways, buses, trains, taxis- saw the virus rip through those urban populations. Places like New York probably got close to herd immunity by June despite their lockdowns. You can see the virus spread via the commuter rail system in the northeast- see New Jersey and Connecticut, and then Chicago, northern Indiana etc.
(3) The pre-emptive shutdowns slowed the virus everywhere else in March and April so that it didn't rip through the population as quickly as it did in the northeast, but the downside is that the rest of the country didn't get anywhere close to herd immunity in those urban areas. That is why you are seeing the explosion of new cases now everywhere else- on reopening, there was no good level of herd immunity, and those cities- Houston, Dallas, Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix etal.- get hit, but not quite as bad as happened in New York City.
(4) While it might still happen, those new cases don't seem to be producing the same level of fatalities as happened in New York City. There are several possible explanations, but I don't know which is operative. However, with each passing day, it gets less likely you are going to see a level of death like in March and April.
It was a mistake for the rest of the country to shut down in March and then reopen in early May. It would have been far better in the long run to have gotten over that hump ASAP. So, instead of getting the big wave in March-May, places like Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California are getting it now. Reshutting things before this runs it course will just be even dumber than doing it in March. I follow all the states for the last couple of weeks before I put the entire list in my spreadsheet today- new cases are rising in almost all the states now, no matter what level of reopening they have had. Places in the northeast will fair the best going forward because they got over that hump by May- everywhere else is somewhere further behind.
In the end, without a vaccine, which you aren't going to get before next year in the best circumstances, the virus will spread until it runs out of people it can infect.
"What people REALLY need to see are deaths. Per cdc we are down to nomember 2019 levels for all age groups. Yup. Pretty Close to zero for all age groups."
John Henry, again, you have to be careful when using the CDC data- the CDC was still adding deaths to the week of March 21st as as of last week (they added nine COVID deaths). The data is only mostly complete up to mid May at this point- so that graph you linked to is artificially low on the right side of the peak. We won't know the true shape of that graph up to July 11th until late August. In short, it is too early say excess deaths have returned to zero.
She comes off as friendly. She also sides with Woody Allen so she has guts.
Kitchen cooking isn't quite the same a Spirit Cooking, nice effort nonetheless.
I saw this yesterday and had no idea it was Keaton, but sure she was close friends of Tony Podesta.
Althouse has triggered my Keaton fandom that I deny but there it is. Diane is fun. From a distance anyway.
The crematorium I put grandma in had a smaller oven.
I wonder if she has some Morgue Freezers like Pelosi?
I'm eating watermelon with my t-shirt removed so I don't get any juice on my wifes carpet.
She had to stop and chat with the cameraman and set director.

Trump has broad shoulders, but he's no Atlas.
I wonder how many people here have friends who were "Deadheads" or who were whatever those parrot people call themselves, for twenty or thirty years running, working just enough hours a week to pay for their parties.
God bless them all, many of them now somewhere around 70 or 80 and relying on government checks or ghoulishly hoping that older relatives will die and leave them money.
Make fun of Diane Keaton all you want - but she worked hard all her life, and if she wants to spend her time in the kitchen, well God bless her. She worked hard and deserves a comfortable retirement.
Still, let me say this. I paid, once or twice, to watch movies she was in at the theater, and I think (I could be wrong) that at least once I paid a few dollars at Blockbuster to rent a movie she was in.
I want my money back. Look, I want her to be happy, but she was in a lot of bad, mediocre movies that lacked real artistic merit. The inner circle clowns who were the movie critics of the day lied to me and told me they were good movies. I believed them!
Well anyway she had a good time making them, I guess, and they all thought they were artists, the people making the lousy movies and the critics who pretended they knew more about art than they did. I can't hold that against them. I guess, in a way, I am glad they were able to fool themselves for so long - I mean, who doesn't want people to experience happiness, even if it is based on self-deception? Who does not want that, if the alternative is not to experience happiness (of course there are other destinies - God loves us all and there is one perfect destiny for each of us ---- but those are deep waters, and we are not, are we, on a long ocean voyage at the moment, with access to the types of thoughts one has access to at those moments over the deep vast ocean when the sun, setting or rising, reveals the greatest beauties that the humble oceans can reflect ....)
That being said:
Keep your tortillas
I want my twenty dollars back.
Well, at least we use the same olive oil.

Diane Keaton used to be cute. Now she looks... jeez there are hardly words for it... Keaton didn't get old, she got undead!
And God created woman. Diane Keaton is one of the small, cute and intelligent model.
She's not small. She's 5'7".
"Keaton didn't get old, she got undead!"
I think she looks great. She kept her natural, expressive face. She's 74.
Yancey Ward, did you keep a snapshot of the numbers reported by the CDC, to determine their true reporting lag rate? I use that website regularly, and assume a 6 week lag for about a 95% reporting.
(Sorry this is OT).

That tent-of-a-dress and the oversized kitchen makes her look small. It’d probably make The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) look small, too!

That would explain the surprisingly heavy footsteps.
Interesting thoughts, Yancey. Thank you for sharing your work.
Especially interesting is your observation that, so far, the size of each region’s 2nd wave is (roughly) inversely proportional to the size of its 1st wave. That supports the lockdown to smooth the curve while simultaneously undermining the current approach of continuing the shutdown for as long as the public can take it (or young middle and upperclass white people think of something new to complain about). We should not be trying to minimize the infection rate, we should be managing it at a certain level to achieve herd immunity without overwhelming the ER.
stlcdr,
Yes, I have taken screenshots for the last couple of months about 10 days apart (wish I had done it every day). However, the work has been done by others- here is a very good good table Kyle Lamb created of the lag in the CDC reporting of COVID deaths. I found his table via a post in Marginal Revolution about a week ago. To navigate the table, the weekly columns report the Covid deaths in the corresponding weekly rows. For example- in column "Jul 11th", you can go down to row "March 21st" and find that the CDC added 9 Covid deaths that occurred during the week of March 21st. Hope this helps.
Yancey Ward: once again, thanks for your efforts and insights. The way this pandemic has played out in the US is still surprising me every day. I am surprised that the second wave has come on so strongly so soon after re-opening. I expected a lull over the summer and then an increase again in the fall (probably influenced by IHME projections at the time).
The shutdowns that were imposed were evidently helpful in reducing/postponing new infections and I'm certainly pleased that even with a high number of new cases, we're not seeing the rate of death spiking. I assume that Covid-19 is spreading among younger, healthier people and, hopefully, that we're getting better at treatment.
Some day, I hope to see clarification on the number of deaths from Covid-19 and the number of deaths with Covid-19.
Roll camera.
Wait, must wear A-H hat.
