Some interesting news for anyone who is going to be in NYC next Monday. The Irish Rep is doing a benefit reading of FINIAN'S RAINBOW (I think with the original script) starring our very own Melissa Errico as Sharon and John Cullum as Finian. It will be introduced by Miss Lauren Bacall. And although the prices are $150-$300, if you have the right code you can get balcony seats for $50. If anyone is interested click on my name and I'll send you the phone number and code.

Thanks, Bill.
And of course anyone in the Indiana area who has $8 can see the costumes that Mr John Cullom wore when he played Emile deBecque in SOUTH PACIFIC on tour opposite Miss Jody Benson. All those costumes will be appeared in our production
June 5-8 and 11-14!
I like Bacon and Cheddar Ripple chips from MikeSells.

Oh my, it is FAR too early for a
lull around here! This simply
will not do at all.
Snack food, eh? I'm a big fan
of various and sundried
crackers, and often enjoy
varieties ranging from the
Triscuit/Wheat Thin type of
thing, to the Cheez-It, to the
standard Saltine. And let us
not forget that other great
cracker, the Graham.
I don't often do candy bars, but
when I do, I love Butterfinger,
and will also enjoy a nice
Snickers occasionally
(especially frozen).

Snack foods? Open the flood gates.
Basically, anything chocolate that's within reach - from Hershey's to Valrhona to See's. Same thing with Jelly Beans - those Starburst ones are pretty good!
On the salty side - most potato chips, and I just came across the Wise Honey BBQ ones - yummy! Pretzels - Honey Wheat, and the Cheddar Cheese Minis. Oh, when I find them... Corn Nuts. *I used to eat a small bag on the ferry ride from Port Angeles to Seattle. Very nice memories from my childhood.

OH... Of course, since Chet and Eileen are watching, I don't indugle as often as I used to... Really I don't. ;-)
-Oh, and those Famous Amos Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Sunday when you have your get together I will be out celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary. We have tickets for Present Laughter, then weather permitting, we shall sit outside on the deck of the Thai restaurant and enjoy the view of the creek.
I'm afraid to get started on favorite junk food. I really want to loose those two pounds by Sunday. Every time we talk about food I end up eating too much. I will admit to already having some Haagan-dazs coffee ice cream this morning.

Just got home from work. Tuesday is my all you can eat baby back ribs at my fav chicken and rib restaurant. It is called Lucille's Bad to Bone. And it has become my Joe Allen's. They know what I like to drink (diet coke) and baby backs as opposed to St. Louis Ribs. I vary my sides from time to time.
Looking forward to NYC. Even have a ticket to see The Producers friday night. Next up is to see if Hairspray is available.
Posted by Michael Shayne @ 05/27/2003 12:34 PM PST
My latest snack food craze has been those darn Smack and Whacks or whatever they are called...those crazy chocolate things that you have to whack on the table and it splits out into numerous bite sized slices. The dark chocolate/rasberry is my downfall and Big Lots has had them for the amazing price of just 99 cents. I must have gained a good ten pounds while those things were on sale!!
Posted by MBarnum @ 05/27/2003 12:36 PM PST
Jane...congrats on 34 years! I am presuming the creek that you will be overlooking is in Ashland...it is so beautiful there this time of year. Any good plays running at the festival this year?
Posted by MBarnum @ 05/27/2003 12:38 PM PST
Thank you all for the kind words of greeting. It’s a pleasure to be with you. I’ll do my best to contribute something positive to the group.
First off, a bit about me. My name is Tom. TCB are my full initials, which are preferable to the TB jokes I had to endure back in the fifties. Feel free to call me Tom, tc, tcb, or my family’s nickname for me, Uncle. Uncle came about when my niece was just a toddler back in the early seventies. I was determined that I wasn’t going to be called “Uncle Tom” (my white, liberal sensitivities would not allow it), so we came up with Uncle. Since then, everyone in my family as well as all of my sister’s friends, and their families, have started calling me that. Even some of my coworkers have taken to calling me that. I am single, unattached, and possibly unhinged, as well. I have been told by those who study Astrology that I am a perfect cusp (thank God, I am a perfect something), having been born on August 23 at twelve noon. For the most part, I consider myself a Virgo, unless you don’t get along with Virgo, in which case I will be happy to become a Leo.
I was born in Seattle (while Truman was still in office) and I have bounced around from place to place over the years, but I always keep coming back to my adopted home town of Tacoma, Washington. The acting bug bit me when I was only five. My Mother who was a junior high school music teacher, was putting on a production of Hans Christen Anderson, and since Hans and the townspeople were only twelve, thirteen, and fourteen, she needed some even younger kids to play the children of the town. I was only in half-day kindergarten at the time, and I guess the idea of saving a few bucks on baby-sitting must have appealed to my struggling single-parent mother, because next thing I knew I was in the show. That old cliché, “the smell of the greasepaint, the roar of the crowd” is so true. I have only two vivid memories of the whole experience. One was the first time I stepped into the designated make-up room and got my first whiff of real greasepaint. The other was my very first entance in the show, when I walked out on the stage, unable to see anything past the footlights, but being able to feel and hear the audience as a single listening, breathing entity. I know that sounds corny, but it's true.
In the forty-seven years since then (hmmm, let’s see, five, plus forty-seven equals…), I have done over two hundred productions, directed a few dozen others, and written three or four horrendous plays of my own (plus two pretty good ones). Although, from time to time, I have been paid for my acting and directing, I remain basically a community theater (please don’t say, amateur) actor. It was my own decision, and it is one that I could easily regret if I ever stopped taking my meds, but we won’t go there. The plus side is that I have had the chance to do roles that I might never have gotten to play as an Equity Actor. I have done James Tyrone in Long Day’s Journey, Garry in Present Laughter, Andrew in Sleuth, and favorite among favorites, Sheridan Whiteside in The Man Who Came to Dinner. On June 6, I open as Horace Vandergelder in Hello Dolly, here in Tacoma, exactly thirty years after playing Cornelius Hackel in Dolly on the very same stage.
For those who have never ventured to the Pacific Northwest, Tacoma is about thirty miles south of Seattle, and contrary to popular opinion was not named after a Toyota truck. It has a population of about 200,000 people. It has one Equity theater company, six or seven community theaters, three or four ballet companies, a symphony orchestra, an opera company, a brand new multi-million dollar art museum, and in honor of our native son, Dale Chihuly, a Tacoma Museum of Glass. Certainly not New York, but not a vast wasteland, either.
Whoops, there I go, rambling again. Today’s topic….. oh, that’s right. Well, real New York cheesecake is number one in my book, but it is almost impossible to find out here. Ben & Jerry’s Karamel Sutra or Peanut Butter Me Up Ice Creams are pretty close to heaven. Throw in a can of Planters Honey Roasted Cashew and Peanut Mix and I won’t come down for a week..... Oh who am I kidding. I could eat just about any snack food and find a way to enjoy it.

Tom - welcome aboard!
Posted by Phil @ 05/27/2003 01:11 PM PST
Thanks Jose, all day now I have been craving a milk chocolate, chocolate cream from See's. Thank goodness the store is a good distance away. Tom, I enjoyed your post. You didn't mention Tim's Cascade (named for the Cascade Mountains) potatoes chips. I could go for a bag of those right now.
MBarnum, yes the restaurant is in downtown Ashland. Present Laughter is our first play of the season. I have heard it is very well done-not a flaw in the production. We will pass on Romeo and Juliet. It is just too contemporary for us. Romeo wears jeans, the music is loud and the swords have been substituted with knives. I hope to see Antony and Cleopatra. I will wait for more input on the remaining plays.
Posted by Jane @ 05/27/2003 01:33 PM PST
Ron---
Is WICKED still in Previews? I haven't seen any reviews yet (although I'm sure you'll post one that is more accurate than the professional critics).
Posted by William E. Lurie @ 05/27/2003 01:52 PM PST
Phil - Thanks for the welcome.
Jane - Glad I didn't bore you too much. How lucky you are to be in Ashland. I am ashamed to admit that I have never been to the Festival.
Posted by tcb @ 05/27/2003 02:01 PM PST
Hey, Tom. Welcome! I didn't get a chance yesterday to join the hosannahs from others welcoming you into this unique little world. Hope to "see" a lot of you here.
Snacks: well, I have an infamous sweet tooth, so just about anything sweet will trip my trigger, but Reece's Peanut Butter Cups are truly my thing. I especially like their holiday incarnations like Reece's Trees or Reece's Eggs in which the peanut butter to chocolate ratio is upped somewhat. I can go through an entire package of six in one sitting, hating myself every minute but enjoying every wicked mouthful.
I've got THE ELECTRIC HORSEMAN on DVD sitting on the to-watch shelf, but it just seems to get pushed toward the back with newer acquisitions. Just finished BARBARA COOK in MOSTLY SONDHEIM on DVD this afternoon.
Posted by Matt H. @ 05/27/2003 02:18 PM PST
TCB - Always nice to have
more representation from the
Great Northwest around here.
We're gonna take this joint
over, I tell ya! Like you, Dear
Reader Ann is also in
Tacoma, George is in
Olympia, JMK and Dennis
Clancy both in Portland,
MBarnum in Salem, Jane in
Ashland, and myself across
the mountains from you in
Leavenworth. We think you're
gonna like it here (oh, a
Strouse/Adams reference!).
Posted by Jed @ 05/27/2003 02:49 PM PST
Oh, MattH, how could I have
possibly neglected to mention
all those Reese's goodies?!?
A real weakness of mine, as
well. Yum yum yum.
Posted by Jed @ 05/27/2003 02:50 PM PST
WEL: "Wicked" opens at the Curran Theater tomorrow. I've read nothing more about it since I got my notice for pre-orders.
My excitement is building, though, and I'm definitely going to let y'all know what I think.
Posted by Ron Pulliam @ 05/27/2003 02:54 PM PST
Yes, welcome TCB! Tacoma is not only 30 miles south of Seattle, it's 30 miles (give or take) north of Olympia, which is where I live.
Snacks: Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, Peanut M&Ms, Tim's Cascade Chips, the evil-because-of-hydrogenation Double-Stuff Oreos...now, those are the best! However, if the Oreos people have to change the recipe because of the afore mentioned hydrogenation, I'll still be loyal. I want believe that they can't ruin 'em too much and then they will be less evil, which is a good thing.
Posted by George @ 05/27/2003 03:01 PM PST
What, the only snacks are sweet snacks? I profess a fondness for Dorito's, Barbecue potato chips, Beer Nuts, cashews, an occasional beef jerky or beef stick, cheese slices and ham chunks, and man am I gettin' hungry.
Now, where in tarnation IS everyone?
Posted by bk @ 05/27/2003 03:09 PM PST
Let's see.. snack foods..
For movies: Goobers
at home, anything from Chips and Salsa, to Kit Kats to grapes, to Double Chocolate Milano Cookies. Midnight Milky Ways are always good too.
I have tried to minimize my snacking since about a year ago though - which includes giving up soda and coffee as well...
Posted by Craig @ 05/27/2003 03:10 PM PST
TCB - A fellow Tacoma
dweller! How very exciting. I
too have adopted Tacoma as
my home, being born and
raised in Ellensburg. College
took me first to Boston for a
year or so, then to Tacoma,
where I remain, almost ready
to graduate fro UPS. Despite
the "armpit of Washington"
remarks made about Tacoma,
I find it a wonderful place to
live.
Snacks - My two major
weaknesses, first and
foremost is chocolate
pudding. No clue why, just
love the stuff. Recently I've
become hooked on Pop
Secret Kettle Corn...so very
good. Never been a potato
chip fan unless they're
cheddar and sour cream
flavored. Candy bars aren't my
thing...but I do enjoy a good
Almond Joy
Posted by Ann @ 05/27/2003 03:32 PM PST
Who can take tomorrow
Dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow
And collect up all the cream?
Posted by The Candy Man @ 05/27/2003 03:32 PM PST
Good grief - Lots of Northwesterners, and here I am trying to explain Tacoma as if it were part of Atlantis.
How could I forget chips, dip, cheese, ham, and beef stick. If we are heading off in that direction. how about a fresh, warm loaf of jalapeno-cheese foccacia bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar?
Posted by tcb @ 05/27/2003 03:36 PM PST
More good snacky stuff along
bk's non-sweet line...
I have a real weakness for
nuts, whether of the mixed
variety, or just cocktail peanuts
or something. And an
occasional beef stick is quite
good. As for chips, corn chips
are probably my favorite. And
just about anything involving
cheese is hard for me to
resist.
Posted by Jed @ 05/27/2003 03:48 PM PST
OK...here goes:
Doritos (Nacho AND Cooler Ranch)
Lay's Sour Cream and Onion potato chips
Any kind of banana ice cream
Little Debbie Star Crunches
Snickers bars
Snickers Ice Cream Bars
Hot Tamales (those little, chewy red-hot candies)
Twix
Twinkies
Granola Bars (Chocolate Chip or Oats and Honey)
Golden Grahams cereal
Double Stuff Oreos
Fudge-Covered Oreos
Cheez-Its
Chex Mix (without the nuts)
Better Cheddars
Galaxy Bars (I had those in England, but can't find them here--I was OBSESSED with them)
Samoa Cookies (I think the devil signed a pact with the Girl Scouts of America)
Little Debbie Honey Buns
and mostly
Krispy Kreme donuts
Oh, and Kool-Aid, Kool-Aid, Kool-Aid. (Yes, I'm really 26 years old and I love Kool-Aid.)

Mmmmm! Food! My favorites are, of course, floop, slog, God knows what, chips with frosting, pizza with chocolate, Krispy Kreme chocolate iced creme-filled doughnuts, Lay's sour cream and onion potato chips, and Ben & Jerry's Phish Food ice cream. Yum!!
Posted by Sandra @ 05/27/2003 04:51 PM PST
I have a weakness for Hot 'N Spicy Pork Rinds. I also have a weakness for chocolate-covered pretzles. However, I have never indulged in both weaknesses at the same time. That would be a bit much, I think.

Jane - Yes, it really is a lovely
area in which I live. I stand on
my porch and have a
tree-covered mountain side
staring me right in the face.
Love it. Of course, one learns
quickly to avoid downtown on
summer weekends, as there
is only so much accordian
music we non-tourists can
take around here!!! (To explain
for non-NW types, the town I
live in is a Bavarian themed
tourist town)

but what on earth is slog???

When it comes to snacks, i'm rather boring:
cucumber slices
cherry or grape tomatoes
celery stix
carrot stix
home canned tomatoes
a dozen seasoned wings
see, boring.
TCB - If I didn't say WELCOME previously, please let me say it belatedly now!

I meant to mention salty snacks like cashews and Doritos and barbecue potato chips, and it just slipped my mind.
And I am from the HOME of Krispy Kremes and forgot to mention them! Argh! It's just awful getting old!
Posted by Matt H. @ 05/27/2003 09:07 PM PST
My most favorite snack is chips and salsa. Salsa on everything!! It is wonderful!
I am on a bit of a rant. Maybe someone can tell me why a perfectly good movie has to be remade. I heard today that "The Manchurian Candidate" is being redone with Meryl Streep (supposedly in the Angela Lansbury role) and Denzel Washington (Frank Sinatra?). These are very talented people but what is wrong with the 1962 version? It boggles the mind. They recently remade "The In Laws". I have not seen it but what is the point?
Are we in a creative vacuum? I am waiting for the day when they remake "Gone With the Wind". Probably Ben Affleck for Rhett (or maybe Harrison Ford), Madonna as Scarlett, Renee Zelwegger as Melanie, Whoopi Goldberg as Mammy, Oprah Winfrey in the Butterfly McQueen role, and Ewan McGregor as Ashley.
AAAAHHHHH!!!!
Thank you one and all for letting me rant.
Posted by Dennis Clancy @ 05/27/2003 09:25 PM PST
DR MattH. -- Enlighten me please...where is the home of Krispy Kreme??
Well dear esteemed BK and readers,
All of this snack talk has totally sent me into the land of the decadent. I just finished eating a large chunk of dark gingerbread with an obscenely large mound of vanilla Hagen-Daz on the side of it. Gads.
I have to throw out a little info about something that is in the snack category, and that is, IMO, of stellar quality. For those of you who enjoy really good quality nuts, I have found no finer than those processed and produced by a Chicago company name John B. Sanfilippo & Sons, Inc.
It is a 3rd generation family-owned company that has grown to be the 2nd largest nut processor in the world. In the greater Chicago area, their products are sold at a number of outlet stores called "The Home Economist," as well as under the retail brand of "Fishers." I have never looked, but you maight be able to go on the web, and order online. They sell a wonderful luxury mixed nut product (no peanuts) called "Imperial Mix" and also enormous "Giant Cashews."
DR Sandra -- I second the motion, or query...what the hell is "slog?" I just finally figured out Floop!!
Posted by MusicGuy @ 05/27/2003 09:35 PM PST
DR Dennis -- Thanks for the rant!!! I've been wondering alot this past week about how could the new "In-Laws" hope to hold a candle to the classic Falk-Arkin version....how do you top Richard Libertini ??! But what an even more horrible thought to even bother calling anything else "The Manchurian Candidate." Of course, it will have to be young, and hip, and have the script based on demographics and product placement....oh Christ, it's too depressing to even bother trying to make fun of the absurd possibilities.
What ever happened to, oh I don't know,......a creative person actually thinking up an idea that entertains people??!!
Sorry Dennis, I didn't mean to rain on your rant.
Lets go back to snack foods; when I'm lucky enough to get an upgrade on American Airlines to first class, instead of getting dry cold pretzels, they offer to warm my nuts. Very civilized!
Posted by MusicGuy @ 05/27/2003 09:44 PM PST
Jed, slog is a very delightful blend of kidney beans, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and croutons. Yummy!
Posted by Sandra @ 05/27/2003 10:14 PM PST

Posted by KT @ 05/27/2003 10:51 PM PST
Well, we finally broke 50 - like pulling teeth but we did it.
I was talking about this stupid new In Laws movie with my pal Penny who played the bride in the original. When you have to remake a film that was a) just right to begin with and b) is less than twenty five years old, then Hollywood and its power mongers are truly bankrupt of creativity.
Posted by bk @ 05/27/2003 10:55 PM PST
Okay, Sandra, slog sounds wonderful. Is there a recipe or do you just throw it all on a platter and hope for the best?
Posted by tcb @ 05/27/2003 10:56 PM PST
You don't REALLY want ot get me started on snacks, do you? There are so many. In no particular order:
-Potato Chips (plain or with sourcream an onion)
-Chocolate (all categories)
-Mother's Iced Raisin Cookies
-Mother's Iced Circus Animals
-Snackwell's Vanilla Creme Cookies
-Sesame Blues ( sesame seed and blue corn chip)
-Cashews
-Almonds
Ice cream: Haggen-Dasz good ol' plain vanilla, Cherry vanilla, Dulce de Leche
Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia
-CAKE (what did you expect from me?)
-Fritos
-Corn Nuts (although I don't think my teeth can handle them anymore, but I love the smell-- it reminds me of my Basset Hound's paws)
So many more to mention.
I need some of these things... NOW!
Posted by Kerry @ 05/27/2003 11:19 PM PST
What, nobody likes to snack on . . .
HALVAH?
I like the Joyva-brand dark-chocolate covered variety. Are there better brands, anybody?
Posted by Sigerson Holmes @ 05/27/2003 11:33 PM PST
Yes, marbled halvah, straight from the deli counter, sliced from the major chunks they have on display.
