I'm glad I got the grass mowed yesterday. With this much rain, the yard might be too wet even tomorrow to have mowed, and the grass would have thickened enough to make mowing more of a chore than it already is..

I'm up, I'm up.

I wonder if I can guess which conductor elmore is talking about?

It's some fat slob who thinks he's a Wagner conductor.

Wow, MattH, are you sure that couple is dancing??!!

I am interested in hearing Karen Sharpe's commentary on HIGH AND THE MIGHTY.

I'm cooking me up some mighty breakfast foodstuffs.

Matt H. · « **Reply #96 on:** August 14, 2005, 02:20:52 PM »

Well, it's Sheree North and Jacques D'Amboise from THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE. I feel reasonably certain they're dancing.

Well, the storm has passed, so I feel safe in turning on the home theater equipment again. However, before I can, I must do my usual Sunday chore and clean a bathroom. This week is the guest bath.

Not to appear self-absorbed, but I - that's right, I - brought up the Carol Channing-Sid Caesar-Abe Burrows-Tommy Lee Jones flop FOUR ON A GARDEN here on HHW (was it just a few days ago?) as one of the theatergoing experiences that changed my life. In my experience, no one has ever discussed FOUR ON A GARDEN on any message board I've ever seen in the past in all my years of trolling these boards. And sudddenly, there's a palpable thread on CASTRECL about - you guessed it - FOUR ON A GARDEN. Coincidence?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #99 on:** August 14, 2005, 03:43:41 PM »

"Self-absorbed". lol. Never happens at HHW. Go for it DR FJL.

I think we all know that people from many other boards read this site regularly if not on a daily basis. I see and hear it all the time, whether it's the wholesale borrowing of thread ideas, or whether it's the retail borrowing of our patented catchphrases, right down to the actual theft of ideas (wait until I tell you about one such occurance that I found out about recently - you will not believe it - Tammy was with me when I was told this thing, and her mouth just about hit the floor). Of course, we get no acknowledgments, no, that would be asking too too much. But, it's all very flattering. Sort of.

TOD:

Duck eggs, fried over easy.
Scrapple (1/2 inch slices fried 'till crispy outside but still moist inside).
Buttered rye toast.

I like an occasional side of Maize Escoffier saute en beure (For you trailer folks - fried corn meal mush).

I also like a good German breakfast:

Boiled egg
Crispy crust fresh baked hard roll with cheese and sliced luncheon meats.

When no one is looking I like to toast three slices of wheat bread, butter them, then cut into sixths.

In a soup dish place six bread bits, top with a soft-boiled egg, add a dollop of butter and fresh craked pepper, add six more bread bits, egg, etc, do it again! (Three slices of bread three boiled eggs and more butter than you dare admit). Stir joyously. Consume with lots of good hot English Breakfast tea (sugar, no milk).

Of course, part of the allure, was "cooking" the toast - such a fun cooking contraption the pop-up toaster is!

Sure beats puting the bread on a stick and holding over the fire pit in front of the cave like I used to do.

Actually, truth to tell, we did have a toasting fork to use over the gas burner on the stove; when more modern times hit the kitchen, we had a toaster that required you to rotate the bread to toast each side.

Tortoiseshell AKA "Tortie"
Instead of solid blocks, torties' coats weave the three colors throughout, creating a tapestry of color. "they are cloaked in the lovely colors of Fall." Tortoiseshell cats may also be dilute, with softer versions of the colors.

Mother's has the best tofu scramble, tofu (of course) with caramelized walla walla onions, cheese and a mix of other delicious veggies & tasty seasonings.

As long as "tasty seasonings" include 3 or more farm fresh eggs, sauted chicken livers and a topping of sour cream and caviar I'm all for it.

I wonder what the recent "actual theft of ideas" was that BK mentioned.

I'm just about to leave work. Before I came to work, however, I ate at a "quick service" food place (it seems that they no longer want to be called "fast food") but sadly, it wasn't the breakfast that I had wanted. A little later, I must get some more food (when I'm hungry enough) and it will be breakfast for dinner!

MBarnum thanks. Yesterday there were just large blank spaces where Carolyn and Koda should have been. He is a cutie.

Keith needed a dog fix today so we saw MUST LOVE DOGS. Throughout the movie I kept wondering if the dog was part or full Newfoundland since she was so small. She is a full Newfie, just six months old. Actually she is two six month old Newfies, Molly & Mabel, who now live with the director/screenwriter.

DerBrucer, sweet photo.

Nilla and Callie from the back you can see the difference in the markings between the calico and the tortie

Oops I guess that pic is a little big. I'm not very good at resizing them to post

Jane · « **Reply #111 on:** August 14, 2005, 05:05:30 PM »

Nilla and Callie look pretty together.

I'm amazed how often a person has a tortie and think they have a callico.

That wasn't really intentional, but their colors do blend nicely

Thanks for the pictures, DRCILLA LIZ....and the additional kittie pics, DRJANE.

I love seeing them all. Makes me lonely for b/w Precious who has been gone for many years, but who is still in my heart.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #114 on:** August 14, 2005, 05:19:56 PM »

Loved MBARNUM's pics from the Courts show! Laurie Mitchell will always be the Queen of Outer Space to me. And you met darling little Rhoda and The Mick.... What great photos!

And photos of Mr BK's house! And Carolyn Keaney! Wasn't she in HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL? Or am I thinking of someone else....not the Carol Ohmart role, the heroine?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #115 on:** August 14, 2005, 05:20:36 PM »

And more great pics from DRJOSE!

Unfortunately, I know now that I am older than both DRJED's mother AND the Clark Museum!

DRMATTH you might be thinking of THE CROWDED SKY, and THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY ripoff that was jam-packed and jelly-filled with flashbacks. It featured Efrem Zimbalist Jr, Rhonda Fleming, Keenan Wynn, Patsy Kelly, John Kerr, Anne Francis, and Troy Donahue.

Good evening, all. I've spent the afternoon with my mom, her sister, and my sister. We helped my aunt take care of some moving in issues, went for a ride in my new car, and had an early dinner at The China Cottage - for the 4 of us we ordered 1 appetizer (crab rangoons) and 2 entrees (chicken chow mein and sesame shrimp) and I still have enough leftovers to take for my lunch tomorrow. Their portions are huge and delicious.

Some of my breakfast favorites are things I make right here at home: corn fritters, cream-filled crepes with blueberry topping, egg and sausage casserole. I do love to go out for breakfast, too, and for brunch at places like First Watch and a Cincinnati favorite, The Grand Finale. In 1963, on vacation in Maine, my parents and I stopped at a place between Camden and Rockport where the breakfast special that day was baked beans and hot apple pie.

Does anyone know if the pair of Sherman Brothers movie musicals of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn were actually released this week?
