Vixmom, I had to think of you this morning as I had some amazing enchiladas. The handmade corn tortillas were stuffed with smoked brisket and topped with lightly spicy jalapeno and red chile sauce, then topped with crumbled cotija cheese. The flavor was insanely good. So were the borracho beans on the side.

You had me at smoked brisket

I have no idea what cotija cheese is, crumbled or otherwise

Seth Rudetsky has posted a video of Judy Kuhn singing Nobody's Side from Chess. It's like the last 30 years just suddenly melted away.

Mexican white cheese. Lightly salty. Good stuff.

Does that make today Ice Cream Sunday?

I have not had any ice cream yet, but there's some fruit stuff i the freezer that could work instead.

I've gotten about a quarter of the way through Educated. Ginny, I think your description was fairly accurate. It's a Mormon Hillbilly Elegy.

I'll likely finish it off, but I doubt it's not going to land in my top 50 of the year.

I finished off Something Wonderful, which was wonderful indeed.

Had a good, drama-free rehearsal - I was quite charming and positive and it worked. After we finished with Mandy Wolf (Richard's granddaughter who is doing Small World as our finale), her mom and I and Monday all went to Barone's. I had a salad, a scampi appetizer (four shrimp - few calories), a little salad, and then equivalent of about three normal slices of pizza - it was great.

Then I came home, and did a bunch of stuff our stage manager needed - stage plot, latest show order, and most importantly I did a contact list.

Now I'm listening some Marlene Dietrich CDs - first one is twenty tracks with the Burt Bacharach Orchestra - his arrangements are great - and she adored Burt and he changed her life.

Starting to watch Song of Summer, the Delius movie from Ken Russell that BK recently wrote about. ,

I think it is time to relocate to the bedroom where the air-conditioner is waiting.

I have no air conditioning.

Mine is just a portable one that I bought at Walmart, but it does wonders for the bedroom.

I don't really have any place to put a portable one if it has to vent out of a window. My entire place is three stories and practically no doors, so the cold just runs down the stairs and the heat just rises up to my bedroom and out my skylight...when I keep it open, which is all the time until the winter when it's too cold to keep it open.

You need one of these, DR George. I think our DR Jeanne has one similar.

The online reviews for this aren't great. I'll wait to read what Jeanne posts about hers.

I know! Mine expired just last month and had quite the time trying to remember all my autopays.

National Ice Cream Day?! How'd I miss that? Time to remedy it.

I must remedy that, too! Fortunately, I have some ice cream in my freezer.

Ice cream has been consumed! I went Fred Meyer for some shopping, then to Taco Del Mar (which is right next to FM) since I had a filled $5-off punch card.

I came home and had a frozen Hostess Ding Dong. It's an actual frozen ice cream product, not just a Ding Dong that I put in my freezer. It was all quite delish.

These arrangements Bacharach did for Dietrich are not only brilliant, they're pure Burt.

bk · « **Reply #148 on:** July 15, 2018, 08:23:30 PM »

I think there's a full concert video on YouTube - so that may be my viewing for the next hour, unless I hold off tomorrow.
