I tell you, I am a Virgo, I am a creature of habit.....and going into a different and unfamiliar grocery store is like journeying to another planet.  Everything is in the wrong place....and do not know which aisles to walk up and which aisles to walk down....I do NOT know how to shop.  It was a  nightmare, Dear Friends....a Nightmare.  It was like....it was like Fellini Shopping.

I did not buy everything I needed, I just bought what I could find.
There are three grocery stores that der B and I can go to, along with a few other places that sell food items.  We have one grocery store that is a favorite (the closest to where we live), but the other two also get our patronage.  Why?  Because occasionally the favorite store will be out of an item I want.  Or sometimes one of the other stores will be closer to where we are, if we are out doing other shopping.

I like having more than one store handy, and learning where they all keep things.  Sometimes, while I explore the less familiar stores, I'll find something else that will give me ideas on what to cook, if not that night than for some other time.

Having more than one grocery store handy also means we can find the right roses to give to our favorite performers!

As for those "other" stores I mentioned, there is a produce stand where der B likes to get his scrapple (they make their own in their kitchen in back).  There's a cheese and spices store that we both like.  And life would not be as good without our favorite fishmonger.

I say, get out there and live!  Go to these other stores!  You never know what you'll find!  Life is a banquet, and most poor beggars are munching on corn flakes with soy milk!

Quote from: Hisaka on December 18, 2004, 07:15:36 AM
Why don't you make a musical comedy movie like the golden age's? I want to see a REAL  American musical film, again.  I think it's possible for you to make it.
Dear Hisaka: As much as I admire our BK, who can do almost anything he likes, even he would have trouble making a musical like they used to make.  It's not his fault, it's because the movie studios don't exist like they did in the Golden Era.

Back then, a producer could decide to make a film, and he would have all sorts of specialists who could do all the work for him.  The costume designers, the set designers, the cameramen and choreographers, everyone right down the the piccolo player in the orchestra were already under contract to the studio, ready to ply their specialty and help make a perfect film.

That system for making films doesn't exist any more.  The studios don't have anyone under contract the way they used to.  All those specialists have to be called up one by one, and when they do get together they don't work as a team the way they used to.  

And that is why we don't have musicals the way we used to.

There is a funny smoky smell outside. Methinks our neighbors are smoking those funny cigarettes.

In other news, I am eating a yummy breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes with powdered sugar and a Cherry Coke.

Wrong, DR Jr - I believe it was Mary Tyler Moore who played Panni. Or perhaps Joi Lansing.

Mary Tyler Moore was in the first pilot.  They only showed her legs.

I think Joi Lansing was nominated for an emmy for her role as Panni, wasn't she? And not a collapsed rack in sight!

OMG, there are too many pages of posts for me to read!

DR Jrand, I have no idea how you are able to go shopping at 5am.  I left today at 7:30am (and there were hundreds of people in line).  And I think that is slightly crazy!  They were giving $10 off coupons and wrapping paper.

BK, I think the reason Writer's Block is so popular has more to do with it being theatre related vs it being a mystery.  I could be wrong, but that is what I think.

Some of my favorite 2004 TV shows were "Amish In the City", "Alias", "Nanny 911" and "Trading Spouses", plus all the Food Network people except Rachel Ray, I find her 30 Minute meals boring, BUT I like her $40 a day.  Speaking of Food Network, Paula Dean made this Krispy Kreme Donut Bread Pudding the other day, it looked so good, that I'm making it for a Christmas gift!!

Well today, in my mail, was a copy of a revue entitled WHAT IF?

I watched it, enjoyed it.....have some first impresssions, but want to watch it again before if give my review of this revue!

Super talented cast - super production that enhances the material - top rate staging and choreography - Perfect costuming with the exception of one unfortunate dress!

Songs and "what-ifs" perfectly done.  Outstanding piano playing by DRJOSE.

All in all - a great entertainment!  When ALL the performances are outstanding no one stands out, but there were outstanding songs.  More after I see it again tomorrow.

Bravo and congrats to Mr BK for a terrific show.  All the hard work pays off - but it doesn't show.  Seemingly effortless ... and wonderfully complex.

Getting back to Hisaka's question about sushi...

We have three restaurants that serve sushi here in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.  That's not bad for a town with less than 2000 population.  (Of course, the rural areas outside of town also come in for the restaurants during the winter, and RB is a resort town during the summer.)  I would personally recommend two of the three restaurants.

My partner, der Brucer, decided to give sushi a try less than a year ago.  He's discovered that he loves eel and tuna, among other kinds of fish.  He's still unsure about eating urchen, however.

That's the good news.  The bad news is that very little Japanese food other than sushi.  One of the three restaurants is noted for it's teppan grills, which is more about the chef's performance with his knives than great food.  I personally love sukiyaki, but nobody prepares it here.  We don't even have a place where good noodles can be found!

Part of why Japanese food is taking so long to become popular here in America is because of the insistance on great ingredients, and knowledgable chefs to prepare the food.  Sushi became popular because the different kinds of fish used could be flown from coast to coast in the 1970s.  Before then, finding the top quality fish was very difficult.  Good sushi chefs from Japan took advantage of the good fish available, and moved to America to introduce us to what delicacies they could serve.  However, other kinds of Japanese foods haven't become as popular yet, because we don't have the chefs who can properly prepare them.

On the Food Network, Alton Brown ROCKS!

Rachel is OK, and Tyler Florence is eye-candy to serve lots of appetites.  Emeril is loud and obnoxious.

On the other nets, I regularly watch Lost, and that's about it.  Der B adds Kevin Hill and some of the police proceedural shows.  I just wish I could break him of his habit of watching Bill O'Reilly.  That guy is Emeril without food.

Lesson learned: Don't go to a large, major electronics store (like Best Buy) to exchange a camera on the last Saturday before Christmas! LOL!

Holy cow, it was a little busy in there! But they looked at my digital camera, decided it was not working properly (or at all) and gave me a new one. Whew!

Oddly, enough, the traffic wasn't all that bad...maybe because ALL of the people are in the stores!!

Freddy is not so sure about my new car. He is used to the sound of my Tercel and comes running when I pull into the driveway. He couldn't understand why I was arriving in the big blue thing instead of the big white thing.

It has to be the sound and the shape of the car because, they told me ;), cats are colour-blind! Meow!

The Apprentice
Desperate Housewives
Lost
Star Trek:  Enterprise

Jed, do you want to jump on the bandwagon, or you do want to jump on the Housewives?  Be careful, I think it was that damn bandwagon that I fell over.
