A stage version of a cheeky Helen Mirren movie, a comedian who turned “Drunk Girl” into a national phenomenon and blues legend Elvin Bishop top our list of cool stuff to do in the Bay Area. 1 “Calendar Girls”: When a woman in a rural British town loses her husband to leukemia, she and a group of friends band together to raise funds for a local hospital. Their plan: selling a calendar full of nude photos of everyday women doing everyday chores. Naturally, the idea raises a fuss. The story, based on real events, was adapted into a charming film comedy starring Helen Mirren that was a surprise runaway hit. Now a stage version is getting a run at San Jose’s City Lights Theater.

In almost all the recipes readers submitted, the pasta is added at the last minute or the beans are served over pasta, which prevents gummy or sticky pasta. Andrews uses ground beef and beef broth in her slow cooker version, adding cooked pasta right before serving. Carol Query flavors her stovetop version with thick, meaty bacon or ham. You can try pancetta, but she finds it too salty. “Zucchini would be good added to the soup near the end of cooking,” she says, or a handful of chopped kale. “Add more salt and pepper and water if you introduce more vegetables like the kale.” And if you use dried herbs rather than the fresh she suggests, Query reminds you to halve the quantities.
