That pie looked heavenly, John G.

Here's a link to the recipe:

Sounds easy! I've book-marked this for the next time I have to bring something to a gathering. Yum!

Looking forward to hearing the fruits of DR Elmore's labors! My mom hopes to meet him and other HHWers when we're in NY!

By the way, since Southwest is buying AirTran, I hope to be able to make it to the Atlanta area sometime sooner than I thought.

I must have missed it, but when/why are you coming to Atlanta? Let me know if you need any tips, etc. Of course, DR Jose knows more about what to do here than I do!

My little French boy is in town and they gave him a convertible for his rental car. So we cruised around Peachtree Street last night; perfect weather for it!

Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot ;
I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
'Twas his intent.
To blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below.
Poor old England to overthrow.
By God's providence he was catch'd,
With a dark lantern and burning match

Holloa boys, Holloa boys, let the bells ring
Holloa boys, Holloa boys, God save the King!

Hip hip Hoorah !
Hip hip Hoorah !

A penny loaf to feed ol'Pope,
A farthing cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down,
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar,'
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head,
Then we'll say: ol'Pope is dead.

John G, I am intrigued by the salted fish.

I forgot to mention that I love fish...all shapes, colors, and sizes. I rarely cook it, however, because it is so expensive, but I will order it at a restaurant, now and then, as a treat.

Good evening!! Home from a wonderful night at the Symphony.  I enjoyed every minute from the kick off dinner to the last note of Beethoven's 5th.  I especially loved Sir James and Lady Jeanne Gallway.  They were incredible and it was great to hear flute music.  For those who don't know, I started college as a flute performance major.  I haven't played in years.  I got my flute out when I got home and played a few scales....the cats ran and hid. Guess I need to practice a little ;)

Just finished watching the movie version of OUTSOURCED. It was delightful, and sweet, and a real "feel good" movie.

It was quite a bit different from the TV series. But of course the TV version is a sitcom.

I shall now sit down and view SHIKARI, which is a 1960s version of KING KONG. I have previously viewed it on VCD without subtitles and loved it, but it is now on DVD with English subtitles so I expect to love it even more.

Good Evening!

I really, really liked Les Contes d'Hoffmann at The Met today.  The Olympia was slightly miscast - her voice is just not big enough for the hall - but the rest of the cast seemed spot on.  As for Rigoletto, well, the Gilda was also miscast - at least to my ear (as well as some others in the house). Just not the right type, nor the right size, vocally speaking. I could tell that her "father" and "lover" were having to hold back in order not to over-balance her.

In other news...

Well...

I woke up feeling a little off. I just figured some coffee and some "awake time" would clear things up. Alas, not quite. I felt great during the matinee, but during dinner, my eyes started to feel "fuzzy".  Then during Hoffmann, I felt a little warm, but I figured that was probably just the temp in the hall since it was a bit stuffy.  Then it was back out onto Lincoln Center Plaza and the cool night air... Then into the somewhat overheated subway... And now that I've been home for a bit, I believe I am running a low fever.  So...

Goodnight.

I did another mile and a half jog, had a nice telephonic conversation with muse Margaret, who cheered me up, and I think I'll take a shower now and wash some junky feelings down the drain.

Well, I'm off.  My niece and I are going to see a movie.  I'm not sure which one, but it's one that she wants to see.  Until later.

The movie that we saw was called "Bloomington" and we saw it down in Portland at the 14th Annual Portland Lesbian & Gay Film Festival.  It wasn't too bad.
