I love my milk plain, but when I was a kid I had to have Nestle's quick in it. I think it was because we had to drink, for awhile, that horrid powdered milk. OH, my gosh but that stuff was terrible. I really don't think it had any relation to actual milk.

PS: I also did not like the Nestle's strawberry flavor. Uhg!

I didn't pour in more milk. I liked that last bit of "sludge" at the bottom for a super concentrated jolt of choco-liciousness.

Absolutely! Same here, George!

Side note... I've noticed we no longer get quotes within our quotes. Ah well...

Day after Thanksgiving shopping... Never have, hopefully never will!

MBARNUM haven't finished the DVD yet, but haven't seen Fay or Joanna....I will let you know.

MR BK strange that you never ran into Benjamin - kind of like Guy keeps giving you the slip now.

Milk - I love milk. Always have, always will. Used to be strictly a 1% girl, but I've trained myself to like skim if there are no other options. Chocolate milk is wonderful, of course. Always been fond of the Chocolate Malt Ovaltine flavor. We rarely had Hershey's or Nesquik around the house when I was a kid, so those I really can't say.

Does anyone have any brilliant ideas for a recital poster? I need one asap...

Jason · « **Reply #184 on:** November 24, 2003, 04:13:59 PM »

I love Nesquick Strawberry Milk. There, I've said it. I love it, love it, love it. It's the only kind of milk I really enjoy.

I love pasta. There, I've said it. I love it, love it, love it. Pretty much any kind, but I do especially love fettucine alfredo with grilled chicken and spaghetti with meatballs. Yum!

And thank you, everyone, for the congrats on the job. I found out that the bus ride will be 10 hours long, and I have to leave Port Authority at 3:45 am Sunday in order to be there in time. Bleh.

Recital posters... they used to be a specialty of mine, as you know, Ann. But I don't think "Sondheim and Gomorrah: Songs about sex, jealousy, revenge, and cannibalism" really applies to yours.

The very reason I hated the powder or the syrup was that it always left that ugly :sludge" at the bottom of the glass.

Speaking of childhood treats and sludge, does anyone remember junket? I loved that stuff!

Hellooooo, fellow Dear Readers. Several of you IMed me to ask why I was paranoid. It is not important, so don't worry your heads off. I love you for asking though

. (If that doesn't make sense to any of you, I'm sorry, but it's a rather boring story. Just smile and nod.)

Pasta, pasta...I do not cook, you see, so I really haven't GOT a favorite recipe. I DO love MBarnums (Easy Mac is a Godsend!).

Ben and Matt H. and anyone else who responded: I hate drinking milk. Unless it's ICE cold, I feel like I'm drinking something contaminated. But I, for one, love strawberry milk. Its yummy

. However, Ron, I loath Ovaltine. The epitome of EW! for me.

BTW, Congrats on your God-like status, Matt!

BK, I love how the woman in the tub is in full makeup with her hair done. Since we all know bathing is such a glamorous affair and all.

Jennifer: When I was little, I thought Boxing Day was a day when all of the people in England brought out leftover toys and some presents to all of the homeless people who lived in boxes. It was such a touching holiday

.

I think that the recipe for Wacky Noodles sounds very good, although I can't say I'm excited about the sour cream. Unless it is completely masked by another taste, I can't eat it. Yuck!

I think that the best recipe for pasta is this: Get in your car. Drive to Virginia. Figure out how to get to Ashburn. Walk into the Ashburn Cafe. Order pasta. Sarah will bring it to you, and voila, a perfect meal. Why don't you try that sometime?

Good vibeage to Jose and his Richmond. I'm not sure if I know exactly what you're talking about, but if it IS what I THINK it is, I'm shooting vibes to you with my vibe-laser.

Also a very belated CONGRATULATIONS JASON!!! I can't believe I kept forgetting to say it yesterday, I even wrote it down in my "things to comment on" list that I make while reading the notes. That is tres, tres exciting for you!

Good vibeage as well to DR Jay on your job outcome!

Tonight, my little sister is trying out for a All-VA and MD indoor travel soccer team. She's VERY nervous and told me so, which is weird, as she's usually pretty fearless. So, as much as we loath little sisters, let's send her some good vibes. It's a pretty big deal. She's been watching Bend it Like Beckham for 2 weeks straight, memorizing the moves.

Today in History, we had to do a DBQ. DBQ's are like fast paced, timed essays where you're given 20 sources, and you have to write a 6 paragraph essay on a given topic in under 20 minutes, citing at least 11 of the 20 sources. But, of course, my teacher decided that it would be best to start 10 minutes before the bell rang. And it counts. Big time. I got to paragraph 4 and citation 7 when the bell rang. If she makes that a big grade, I'm going to throw myself a hissy fit; she is eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil.

Best recipe ever: Take chili, Fritos, and grated American cheese. Get a bowl, do the bottom layer Fritos, middle layer chili, and top layer cheese. Use Frito's as "spoons". If chili is spicy, it tastes much better.

Off to do Algebra Homework *sigh*.

I need to post more!

Jason · « **Reply #190 on:** November 24, 2003, 04:20:55 PM »

Ann: For my senior recital, I did a poster a la Playbill, like you would see on a show poster or title page of a showbill, listing all the composers, lyricists, myself, my voice teacher, my accompanists (yes, I had two), my guest vocalists, etc.

In graduate school, I made up all kinds of interesting posters just to get people's attention. I was kind of mean...I put up one poster that had HUGE letters spelling out AUDITIONS FOR LES MISERABLES! In the fine print I put, "well...not here, but somewhere! But since there's no audition, why not come to my recital...blah blah blah..." People looked at it! They were all disappointed that there was no audition, but they all agreed that they were the most clever recital posters they'd ever seen. :-D

Wacky noodles sound weird to me too.

Green milk sounds interesting. Although I am not a big fan of milk, except in cereal.

Actually Swishy, Boxing Day is when we all throw on our yuletide gloves and hit one another senseless à la Mike Tyson. It's a very good way to rid oneself of Holiday stress.

Last year I tried to do the big Boxing Day Sales downtown where everything is supposed to be at least 50% and you have to start lining up outside of stores at dawn to fend off the crowds but I couldn't really find anything I wanted. I DID want to buy a new computer game since they can be so expensive the rest of the year, but when I got into FutureShop I discovered that they weren't on sale at all! I was shocked and appalled and, appropriately enough, felt like boxing with the store's employees.

Can you all tell I am procrastinating? I reaalllly don't want to start paper writing session #2 for the day on the Mad Mahdi.

Dear BK and Dear Readers JRand and Sarah, the Swishiest of them all: Thank you for the good vibes and other musical instruments. (Oh, a Babs reference.)

Dear Reader Emily: Sorry. If they haven't been fried, they're not latkes. And they're oughta be a law against those new-fangled latke flavors. (Same thing with blueberry bagels. Please. Blueberries make sense in muffins, not bagels.) Call me a purist (All Hainsies and Kimlets, in unison: "You're a purist, Jay"), but I like my latkes traditional, with sour cream or apple sauce.

Dear Reader George: Thanks for sharing. You, too, Dear Reader Jason.

One more thing, Dear Reader Jason:

[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]Congratulations![/move]

Dear Reader Charles Pogue: I remember Junket and I loved it, too!

Jay · « **Reply #205 on:** November 24, 2003, 04:51:26 PM »

It occurs to me, Dear Reader Emily, that if instead of frying the latke mixture in oil, you bake it in a casserole, what you have, essentially, is a kugel.

Kugels, good.

Baked latkes, bad.

I live so very close to that mall. Although I like Place Vertu for Boxing Day.

Btw, i'm seeing if I can do the double quotes manually.

Btw, I don't eat latkes very often for Chanukah. And I also have NEVER put applesauce or sour cream (are those the two things you mentioned?)

I'm off now. Am I at 500 yet?
