DR Kevin do you have a pretty, rose or something else, shaped bundt pan?

I have a regular, Cathedral and Rose Bundt pans.

Today I joined "Dramarists Guild Of America".

Exciting isn't it? :-)

Congratulations!  What is new onthe play front?

I have rewritten two scenes and I am going to start sending them out to theaters again.

Cool. Congratulations.

[John G.]

DR Kevin do you have a pretty, rose or something else, shaped bundt pan?

I have a regular, Cathedral and Rose Bundt pans.

I have a tube pan. Does that count?

[JMK]

Hopefully it's not under that huge friggin' cat.

Middling reviews for "Sister Act" and not pretty notices for "Seance on a Wet Afternoon." Still, I bet "Sister Act" will be a hit. the complaints about it are similar to those lodged against the movie, which the public loved.

Did you read that article about group sales for Broadway shows in the Times the other day?

If not: Good Tweets Are Nice, but Group Sales Fill Seats

Quite informative.

DR Kevin do you have a pretty, rose or something else, shaped bundt pan?

I read this as

"Kevin , do you have a pretty nose...."

Well.... Do you, DR Kevin?

[JoseSPiano]

Wait...

Now I'm confused...

There's a DR John G.

And there's a DR KevinH.

But is there "just" a "DR Kevin"?

[JoseSPiano]

Today I joined "Dramarists Guild Of America".

Um...

DR Michael S - If your membership card actually says "Dramarists Guild of America", well... I'd check their spelling too.

TCB how is your sister?

She is still waiting to see the specialist.  Although it turns out that her regular doctor is dyslexic.  She wrote that sister's white blood cells and platlets were elevated, wheh she actually meant below normal.  She still has the elevated enzymes in her liver.

DR TCB - WHOA! I hope you and your sister have officially documented that mistake. -Any chance you could consult another specialist or at least ask for a second opinion?

~~~~~~VIBES AND PRAYERS FOR YOUR SISTER~~~~~

Mike B  how is your nephew?

He is doing great. He has been released to go back to work, finally.

[JoseSPiano]

I have decided I just don't have time to make the dessert I wanted to for Sunday, because it takes three days. Now I have to come up with something less complicated. But just as good. Any suggestions? I bought a few cheeses in case I truly run out of time.

DR John G - 1) Which "takes three days" dessert were you originally planning to make? 2) How about a Hungarian Shortbread? -The kind where you mix up the dough, freeze it, then grate it into the pan before baking? There's a great recipe in "Baking with Julia". -And you can use either homemade or store-bought preserves as the filling.

And if you wanted to go ahead and bring the cheeses, you could also make your own crackers and/or accompaniments (chutneys, pickled onions/ramps, nut brittles, etc.).

Vibes all around!

I just received my first ever shipment from Godiva, an indulgence I gave into since eBates was having a 10% special.  They ship everything in a cool little custom Godiva "cooler" replete with reusable freezer packs!

I have become hooked on Godiva Magnum Double Caramel Ice Cream Bars!

Wait... I thought Magnum's were... Oh... Nevermind...

[MBarnum]

So very sad about the photojournalists who died today in Libya.

I am very grateful that we have journalists who are willing to risk their lives to give us the news.

But, seriously...

I thought Godiva hit a snag with their ice cream maker/distributor and had discontinued their line of ice cream products last year? I even just did a bit of Google-ing, and it seems that Godiva ice cream products are currently not available.

[MBarnum]

Also very sad about the murder of actor Juliano Mer-Khamis. A fine actor and a good man who did what he could to foster peace in the middle east.

[Cillaliz]

I deleted as many of the photos I posted as I could.  I'm not going to post any more.  I really didn't appreciate that George

Cilla, I am very sorry that my fooling around with your pictures has upset you.  That was not my intent.  I was just excited to learn about how to resize photos when posting them without having to resize the actual file.

Again, I'm very sorry.

Thank you George.  I know it probably shouldn't have upset me, but it did.   None of this will make sense to people who are reading it after we deleted so many posts, but I appreciate your apology

[Cillaliz]

Hopefully it's not under that huge friggin' cat.

Now you understand how he gave me a shoulder injury back in January.  I'm still recovering from it.

I was going to make something called a domino cake. On day one, you make a pair of raspberry jelly rolls and freeze them.

Second day, you make a panna cotta like cream filling with about 16 egg yolks and more gelatin than you can imagine. Then you slice the jelly roll real thin, line the slices along the bottom and sides of a 10-inch pan. Fill with the cream filling. Then let it set over night.

Day three you finish off the top with more jelly roll slices and invert the cake onto a serving platter. Top with an apricot glaze and serve with raspberry sauce.

[John G.]

I, too, am horrified by the deaths of the journalists/filmmakers today. i hope this is the last straw for Gadhaffi or however you want to spell it. But  I think more blood will be shed.

[JoseSPiano]

So very sad about the photojournalists who died today in Libya.

 

There have been some wonderful tributes on Twitter and Facebook for both men posted by their friends and colleagues. Here's one by C.J. Chivers - who also acknowledges some of the other brave people and organizations in Libya right now:

Oh! That one! Well... If you still have the makings for a Domino Cake, you could always just make a nicely layered trifle.

[John G.]

The Hungarian Shortbread sounds good. I'll do an investigation. For the cheeses, i always put out the same: nuts, dark chocolate bits, honey, dried fruit. Chutney sounds like a good addition, though. I think I have a couple of jars.

I just have two quarts of heavy cream. And, you know, that could be a dessert in and unto itself. Maybe with some Kahlua or some frangelico added for good measure.

[John G.]

By the way, you're still invited to Easter dinner.

A chutney/relish of chopped onion and cacao nibs goes well with some cheeses too.

[JoseSPiano]

Well... I could always bring the dessert.

If you have enough chocolate on hand, you could always make a batch of truffles. Or just set out dessert spoons with ganache on them.

I have one friend who would claim the bowl as her own and not come up for air until it was clean.
