I would like to remind all NW HHW-ers (as well as any other adventurous souls) that we're having a dinner party for BK on November 12. So far, only one RSVP, which seems unseemly.
TOD:Best breakfast I ever had was a breakfast pizza made by the staff of Sam Morgan's Clubhouse Grill, now Mulligan's Clubhouse Grill, when I was employed there.Homemade dough, ranch dressing, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, green peppers, onions, cheddar & mozzarella cheese.More pizza joints should be offering this type of pizza (even though it wasn't on our menu).

I wondered where you were. I'm about to make the red velvet cake. I hope it works in the bundt pan. I hope the weather holds out and I don't have to cancel, or attempt to move the gathering to another house.DR Jane - Oh! I meant to comment on this the other day. The red velvet cake should work in the Bundt pan, but if it doesn't, well, it doesn't. It varies from recipe to recipe. For a "successful" Bundt cake, the batter usually has to have to some "structure" to it. In other words, if it's a very thin batter, it might not rise enough to fill the pan - and bake properly. However, if your batter is "spoonable", then things should turn out all right.LOL-TOO LATE! It worked but it was difficult to get out of the pan with the rose design. I think it might be a smidgen too dry even though I watched it very carefully. I will know tomorrow. The cream cheese frosting I made to serve on the side is delicious.I made two batches of hummus using Bryan's recipe, regular & spinach, and they too came out great. I'm sorry now I only got veggies to serve with it & didn't get any pita bread.

All this mixing was extremely hard for me to do. It was rather painful on the right shoulder/arm & I'm awkward using my left arm. It took close to three times as long as normal to do it all & I still needed Keith's help a couple of times. I never would have gotten the cake out of the pan or the tahini stirred for the hummus.
Jose's toast story reminded me :we had the most wonderful toast in the hotel in Sasakatoon in August of 2008 - it was this thick thick wheat bread - golden crunchy on the outside and still soft inthe middle because of the thickness - wew were raving about how good the toast was and ordered extra sides of it - the waiter looked at us like we had 6 heads later when we got to my in laws in Grande Prairie we went grocery shopping and found that this "exotic" bread was readily available - marketed as "Texas toast" unfortunately it is not available here
Quote from: elmore3003 on November 08, 2010, 06:04:54 AMGood morning, all! I stayed up to finish reading LET ME IN and slept late. My day today consists of tidying the apartment and vacuuming, doing some folk song research on this Appalachian Christmas project for a meeting tomorrow, and a session this afternoon at the Loesser office over this new edition of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA.Yesterday, we had a 3-hour recording session and got three more of the Victor Herbert piano pieces recorded; the two bitchiest, the unpublished scherzo and "Mountain Brook," are off our backs, and the only solo left to record is the well-known "Pan Americana." On Thursday we have a full day with Rebecca Luker, who will record several songs including two of Herbert's most famous, "Kiss Me Again" and "Indian Summer." At 3:30 she will be joined by a chorus of six men, including our E&T DRs Jason and DAW and Zak the naked Hercules, to record "Till the Right One comes Along," which I would swear is the original operetta number parodied in the title song from "Little Mary sunshine" (why isn't this silly show done more often?).On Friday we record Mr Dillon McCartney, Miss Korliss Uecker, and Zak's two numbers with the ladies' chorus. "The Century Girl" and "That Old-Fashioned Garden of Mine," a number very much like the the Rodgers & Hart parody "In the Flower Garden Of My Heart."When my friends Arie and Kevin lived in DC, I used to stay with them whenever I had work at the Library of Congress. On oe of those long weekends, we went to a local school pancake event raiser, and it was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had: pancakes, several kinds of eggs, sausage, bacon, fresh fruit. The only equivalent is the English breakfasts we were served at our hotel in London when we were recording in 2001 and 2002, although I find English bacon not very appetizing.DRs singsaw, and Jason in the same room at the same time with the Naked Hercules will be an experience, I'm sure. Say Hello and Get Your Butts Back Here for all of us.
