I'm trying to find a recipe for the perfect almond macaroon. After finding several recipes on line I decided to look for one from Andersen's bakery. A google search found the following:

Happy Birthday DM Carmelita of DR Jose.

Jose, I'm eating almond macaroons from Andersen's bakery in Santa Barbara..http://andersenssantabarbara.com/

I'm chuckling over the birthday wishes & imagining the expression on someone who might come across this post by accident.

Alas, I did not find a recipe from the bakery.

IMHO Brendan Fraser is one of the few current actors who is truly loved by the camera. He lights up any film - no matter how slight the material.

("Gods And Monsters" is one of the Great films of the last decade - I don't consider that as slight)

He almost rescued Encino Man - and that was slight!

I agree on both accounts. I'm still shocked that a well know reviewer said Fraser wasn't sexy, or good looking enough for the role. EXCUSE ME!

I did run the last two episodes of THE CLOSER's first season while I cooked and ate lunch. I just love those episodes.

Jason O'Mara is such a hunk, and the chemistry he has with Kyra Sedgwick crackles. And of course the BIG surprise of the murderer's true identity makes it my favorite of the Season 1 episodes.

This Jason O'Mara?

I love coincidences!

There is tomovoz diary on the NET (in Japanese) - with a reference to Bossa Nova!

Thanks DR Jane. I just googled . LOL

DR Laura, are these all favorite films you have on DVD? What is in your collection, or just name a few.

We are going to watch VENUS now.

DR edisaurus - IKEA will take back furniture that's already been assembled.

They did! We went there first to see what they would say, and described the situation. They said bring it back as is, half assembled, there was no problem whatsoever.

We were quite relieved!

Some places take old LPs for credit?? I thought only thrift stores took them--and then, NOT for credit.

I am quite pleased. I don't have the heart to throw them away. I would rather give them to someone else to do with them what they will...kind of like leaving kitties on someone's doorstep!

The store credit is an unexpected bonus---just have to remind myself not to buy more LPs!

DR edisaurus - I really have to Congratulate you on your on-going move, and all the work you've been putting into it. (Meanwhile, my boxes upon boxes continue to sit in my room gathering dust.) And it's good to know things worked out with Comcast too.

Thank you, DR Jose! Greg and I were talking about you tonight as we drove through the neighborhood where we had dinner when you were here. We went to that BBQ place I told you about that was near your hotel, but it was rather disappointing so I'm glad you didn't make it there. There is much better to be had elsewhere in town, although the mustard greens were the best I've ever had in my life!

Greg also things you should have some sort of "Ask Jose" service...a database where people could search NY for the best of a certain dish---pozole, or soup dumplings or gelato...or else have NY divided up in zones and you could see the best stuff nearby.

I would subscribe!

I'm sure once we move, my boxes of stuff will do the same, at least for a little while!

And Comcast, well, I hope they will really come through. We'll see!

I shall now be on my way to Academy used CDs, then a few of us are going to try a "new" (to me) Thai place called Pam Real Thai. Hope it's as good as the other jernt in the Village.

Where is Academy? (Like I NEED more CD's!)

I wonder if Edisaurus is busy cutting new promos for TNT

I don't do L&O promos at the moment. They are a different department: acquired series---and are usually done in house.

The Original Series is where it's at. The producers can work out of house so they work with me at a place close to the new house where we are spoiled by the staff who make a Starbucks run every afternoon. A non-fat triple grande latte always gets me through the rest of the day.

Good Evening!

Back from my double-day of A Chorus Line, and I'm happy to report that things were much better today for all, and I felt relaxed (again). -Well, there are still a few places that I really have be on guard, but, otherwise, I had a relatively mistake-free day. -And the one finger-slip, literally, that I did have during the matinee was kind of funny. So, I have one more tomorrow, and then I was asked if I could go ahead and cover Tuesday night too, so... -I just need to remember that the Tuesday shows are now at 7:00.

DR edisaurus - Glad to hear you had a good trip to IKEA.

*I actually LOVE putting together all that furniture. The more small parts the better, I say. I don't why I like the puzzle of it all, but I do. And I usually like doing it all by myself, rather than have someone help me. However, I've found I can only take IKEA either in a very quick, small "dose", or a nice leisurely, planned ahead visit - with breakfast and/or lunch as part of the deal. Otherwise, all those displays and shelves of merchandise can become quite overwhelming.
