I read this morning that Patricia Arquette has filed for divorce from Thomas Jane. Can Thom please come to live at my house?

Re juicers: My mom had one (a different one, but a juicer nonetheless) and her skin turned orange from consuming too much carrot juice.
Can you imagine what would have happened if she loved beets!

DR Vixmom, another con for the juicer is that while, yes, you get a lot of the vitamins in that glass of juice, you also get lots and lots of sugar.  AND you lose out on the pulp.  Now while with your current condition the pulpless juice might sound attractive, later on when you are able to enjoy whole foods again those glasses of pulp-free sugary fruit juice won't be as good for you.

But for a treat right now, tell Vixdad to pick you up a bottle of Pom juice from the market.  It's full of anti-oxidents, which is good for, um, flushing out any oxidents in your system.



OH!  I forgot about POM - I usually don't buy it unless it's on sale  but yes, that's a great idea!

I am still reeling in astonishment that bk had ANYTHING negative to say about the beloved Dr. Drew Casper who, I thought, had become the unofficial mascot of HHW.

Please reconsider!
And now, Dr. Drew Casper... with Dino at the piano!

DR Vixmom - I'm glad to see you here this morning and to hear that you're feeling better.  HHW is a great place to convalesce!

 I agree!!

I also see that the Producers Guild has named its five nominees in the comedy and drama series categories.

Comedy - ENTOURAGE, THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK, WEEDS (can't remember the fifth one)

Drama - BOSTON LEGAL, DAMAGES, DEXTER, LOST, MAD MEN.

Or, you could buy the juicer and a bushelfull of pommegranites!

  they have a chef at daycare who prepares mac and cheese. And i would have to bet it's nothing like Kraft Dinner. :)

A chef at day care?! To prepare their mac and cheese?! LOL! Only in North America! (I was gonna say America, but realized I probably needed to modify that phrase to include Canada)

I'm awake!  I seemed so motivated to get back to work when I was away on the mini get away and now that I'm back home, I am LESS motivated.   Well, we'll see how the day goes.

 I found this post on a forum for the GT Express


"I was looking to get a GT Express 101 and saw all the bad posts about extra high costs for shipping, sticking, teflon flaking etc. so decided not to get one though I stilled liked the idea of one for our lifestyle. On another forum someone mentioned that Walgreens had a Kitchen Gourmet Omelet Maker that does the exact same thing for $9.99 and at that time with a $4 off coupon. I went and got one, tried it and then went and got another. I think I am getting another for the house so that I have four wells when needed. It is fantastic - no sticking - even with pineapple inside out and I haven't found anything yet that comes out of the GT cookbook that I can't cook - what a bargain and what a great item"

Someone on Flicker made stuffed soup.  Apparently, this is what it looks like!  :D

I am continuing to dig down through layers of my office.  Oy and double oy.

BK, have you procured THE GIRLS FROM BAHIA yet?  And if not, why not?  :)  After you get them, also get Marco Valle's magnificent 1967 Warner release, out on two different CDs, Brazilliance.  It has some of the same tunes that the Girls do, albeit in instrumental versions.  Marcos' album will remind you of Jobim's Warner stuff with Ogerman and Riddle.

I thought of MBarnum last night as I watched part of a Michael Wood special on India.  It was quite spendiferously lovely to watch in HD.

Of course. It would be bad manners to eat stuffed soup barefoot.

I have some interesting review stuff to finish today, a kind of odd little documentary on the Mayans' predicted end of the world, December 21, 2012.  Then, like MattH, I need to slog through the BD of Swing Vote.  For anyone interested in some really, really good, though perhaps not widely popular, musicians, I just reviewed two splendid DVDs, one on the incredible early 1970s latin rock group AZTECA and another on the 1960s incarnation of FRANK ZAPPA AND THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION.  Did you know that Frank contributed some surf rock tracks to one of Asher's "Beach Blanket" films?
