Post by: bk on March 31, 2008, 01:14:04 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were like egg rolls, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently looking for Mr. Goldstone and his egg rolls.

Post by: elmore3003 on March 31, 2008, 05:07:57 AM: Good morning, all! My alarm rang at 6:30, and I moving. Slowly, but I'm moving. This morning at some point after 8:30 I have workmen arriving to repair and plaster a crumbling wall. I have no idea how long their work will take or what kind of a mess I'll be cleaning up after they leave, so my errands are a bit cramped today.

I hope to get some notes written on THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER abd it would be nice to finish up the FANTASTICKS job today as well. We'll see.

DR cillaliz, I'm getting old: the one show I want to see is SOUTH PACIFIC!

Title: Re:HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM EGG ROLLS, MR. GOLDSTONE?
Post by: FJL on March 31, 2008, 05:52:13 AM: I've been checking online for SOUTH PACIFIC and there seem to be seats in the 100's and 500's (the side sections) and in the dreaded :) Beaumont loge, almost nothing in the center sections 200's, 300's and 400's until June. Based on what I've heard form Skip and many others, after the show opens and the reviews come out, seats are bound to be even more scarce. I see on broadwaybox (which I gather is legal scalping), even indecent seats are going at outrageous prices. Who would have imagined this for SOUTH PACIFIC? (How great for Danny Burstein, going from one success right into another!)

At Yom Kippur services many years ago here at the biggest synagogue in town, we were going through the litany of things for which we needed to repent, among which, as some here may know, is xenophobia. Suddenly this old woman next to me turned and said in a very loud voice, "What's xenophobia?" It was very funny.

Ruhlman's suggestion on using the sauce on French toast gives me an idea for dinner Saturday night - I won't be getting off work until ten, and will need something quick to put in der Brucer's tum-tum.

I have that songbook! I also bought the sheet music to their song "Alto's Lament" as a birthday gift for the daughter of my friend Margo.

Poor Bryan has a perfectly wonderful coffee maker he can't use. The realtor says it is too big to leave on the counter while his loft is for sale.

Just going through the current series of Doctor Who gives a nice list of guest stars:

Zoe Wannamaker as Lady Cassandra O'Brien ("The End of the Earth", "New Earth")
Simon Callow as Charles Dickens ("The Unquiet Dead")
Penelope Wilton as MP (later Prime Minester) Harriet Jones ("Aliens of London", "The Christmas Invasion")
Simon Pegg as The Editor ("The Long Game")
Anne Robinson as Anne Droid ("Bad Wolf")
Daniel Evans as Daniel Llewellyn ("The Christmas Invasion")
Anthony Stewart Head as Headmaster Finch ("School Reunion")
Catherine Tate as Donna Noble ("The Runaway Bride")
Dekek Jacoby as Professor Yana ("Utopia")
John Simm as The Master/Harold Saxon ("The Sound of Drums")

Plus the third Christmas special, "Voyage of the Damned," brings us Kylie Minogue, Geoffrey Palmer, and Bernard Cribbens.

Torchwood, on the other hand, has avoided having very many names as guest stars, limiting themselves to James Marsters as Captain John Hart ("Kiss Kiss Bang Bang") and Alan Dale as Aaron Lopley ("Reset").

A week from Friday, at least on the American SciFi Channel, brings us Samantha Bond as Mrs. Wormwood in the first episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures: "The Invasion of the Bane."

(And this doesn't even bring in how Freema Agyeman, Naoko Mori and Eve Myles all started out in smaller roles, before moving on to co-star status. Or how John Barrowman instantly moved into co-star/star status. And, come to think of it, Catherine Tate is turning into the newest co-star...)

SWW, Dr.Who has had a great cast of guests over the last few years.

Bernard Cribbens was in the movie release of Dr Who that featured Peter Cushing as the Doctor. I will admit - I actually own that movie. Some of the effects were pretty cheesy. They based the movie on an episode of the show from the first or second season of the original series. HE was also in Fawlty Towers with John Cleese.

Here is a link for the Dr. Who movie.
http://imdb.com/title/tt0060278/ (http://imdb.com/title/tt0060278/)

BTW, John Cleese guested on the original series in a Tom Baker storyline "City of Death" with Eleanor Bron.

There was s Children in Need special segmant this past winter that had David Tennant and the fifth doctor, Peter DAvison. It was cute!

Elizabeth Taylor guested on General Hospital
Betty White guested on Days, Santa Barbara and Another World
Carol Burnett was on All My Children
Heather Mills, Paul McCartney's ex-wife was on Days

Robert Clary used to have a role on Days and he would occaisionally sing. Days from time to time have Bill Hayes sing on the show in the past.

Music groups / musicians that appeared on the soaps:
Simply Red
Snoop Dogg
Blue County
PHil Vassar
The Chieftains

I think it was Rowdy Gaines who guested on Search for Tomorrow. HE won a medal at the 1984 Olympics.

But it is growing on me. And i find i like it more and more every week. I really think the character of dexter is like nobody i've seen on tv. And i like the humor they add into the show. It's growing on me!

I felt the same way until last week. We began watching the show & I suddenly declared I didn’t want to. I think it is because Keith forgot to speed through the opening credits which I truly hate. When it gets to the part where he is shaving-YUCK! I know it is a silly thing to be so bothered by.

Oh, what a difference a week makes! Oh, I still believe that the photo shoot was an answer to my prayer and I am very grateful for the opportunity and for the money. But, since then:

1) I have found out that it will take up to 8 weeks before I ever see the check for the photo shoot.

2) That my rowing around Lake Washington for those frozen morning hours probably sped up need for a third back surgery.

That's right - start them off grinding beans for coffee, and soon they'll be grinding whomever for meat pies 8)

Post by: JoseSPiano on March 31, 2008, 07:20:44 PM: Good Evening!

After my auditions were done, I ran a few errands in midtown, and then headed to the Time-Warner Center to have dinner at Landmarc. My friend, Michael, joined me there, and we both ended up having their amazing burger. -And I treated myself to a pint of Stella Artois too. :) The burger, as always, was great, however... It seems they've started charging for all of the add-ons - they only used to charge for the cheese and bacon. Tonight, when the bill came, we noticed separate charges for the mushrooms and the sauteed onions. I also asked for small cup of the bernaise sauce - which used to come automatically with the burgers - and the charge for that was $4.00! Hmm... It was my first time ordering the burger at dinner time, so maybe they do things differently at dinner. I dunno. Our waitress was also a bit stand-offish tonight too. At first, I was thinking my familiarity with their menu and the usual order of business may have put her on the "defensive", but after a while, I realized she just didn't want to be there. -She didn't even leave the complimentary caramels with check - like was done by the waitress who covered the three tables next to us. It was the first time in a long time I had actually left an "true" 15% tip.

*Thankfully, my favorite bartender, Amy, was tending bar tonight, and she gave me and Michael a handful of caramels on the way out. :-)

My pal Al and his DSO, Gary, will be attending the Bash and heading to the Apple immediately following the Bash.
On their list of shows to see are WICKED (because I took Al to see it and he loves it and wants to share it with Gary), MARY POPPINS, SPAMALOT, A CATERED AFFAIR, CURTAINS and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (which I have warned him about).
IF I come, I want to see SOUTH PACIFIC. I have been listening to the Philip Quast/Lauren Kennedy recording a lot lately.
IF I come, I want to also see all the DRs who reside in the area at some point in time!

OH! DR td in NYC!!! OOOHHH!!!!

*Just remember that Curtains is closing June 29, so...

Post by: JoseSPiano on March 31, 2008, 07:30:22 PM: And speaking of Curtains... I owe a big Thank You to Mr. Kander. My parents and a "long lost"(?) cousin are coming to NYC this Wednesday for the day, and they wanted to see a show. Well, at first they were thinking of seeing something in the evening, but then they decided on a matinee at the last minute. Of course, my Mom thinks that I can get tickets for anything here in NYC at anytime, well.... Since that's only partially true ;), I contacted Mr. Kander this morning about securing some house seats for this Wednesday's matinee of Curtains... And just an hour and a half later, I had the confirmation in my e-mailbox. Thank You, John!

*Hopefully, I'll be done with the Chorus Call I'm playing that day by the time the show lets out. I advised them that it's probably best to take a later bus back to Atlantic City, after rush hour, so I should be able to spend more than 20 minutes with them during this trip. -And I get to meet my "long lost" - one of my Mom's usual exaggerations - cousin too.

I've never used lemongrass before. But I couldn't resist picking up a little while we were shopping for dinner.

So, I'm going to chop me up some lemongrass real fine, use it to flavor the poaching liquid for the chicken breasts, and then use the poaching liquid to cook the rice in.

We shall see how this tastes. Or mouth how this tastes, which is more accurate but doesn't sound quite as polite.

DR SWW - If you're just going to use the lemongrass to perfume/flavor your poaching liquid, I'd suggest just cutting a few lengths of it - two inch segments should work well - and then just giving them a good smack with the side of a knife, give it a good "bruise" to release the oils. By finely chopping it, you may end up with too much lemongrass flavor. *You'll also avoid that "lemongrass grit" which I know some people don't mind, but I do. That's a lot of fiber.

Post by: Jennifer on March 31, 2008, 08:15:31 PM: I have a question for the HHW food experts.

Here we have something called Orange Julep. I think you have something similar called Orange Julius.

I love this and found a recipe that says to use 3 tablespoons of egg white or egg substitute.

I thought that meant to just use the egg whites of an egg.

But when i look more closely it says "use pasteurized egg whites found packaged in your supermarket or just use egg substitute".

Does anyone know what those two things are and if they are the same as using regular egg whites?

Also, is it safe to use raw egg whites in a cold drink (i've never eaten raw eggs before).

Thanks.

Our home made version, which I'm sure is more fattening but oh so good:

In a blender layer ice, orange juice, vanilla ice cream, vanilla and blend.

Dr Jennifer - If "egg safety" is not a concern in your area, then using "regular" egg whites is fine. However, pasteurized eggs (still in the shell) are now available in the supermarkets - although at a premium price. Egg substitutes are primarily made from egg whites - with color added to give that egg-yolky color.

You could also used reconstituted powdered egg whites. In fact, I've seen "imitation" Orange Julius/Julep recipes that call for adding powdered egg whites directly to the orange juice before blending.

Note that the egg whites just contribute to the texture/viscosity of the finished product, they do not - and should not - add any flavor. -Oh, and they also up the protein content of the drink.

I'm going to spend the day researching and writing and getting the laundry done and then will clean in the evening because my mother said the wouldn't possibly get here before Tuesday. At noon, I decided to call and see where they were. They were in Kansas and said they would be staying with me tonight. TONIGHT!! That's 24 hours early and the place was definitely not clean. So I put off working and cleaned all afternoon. The place is looking pretty nice. The parents arrived, had dinner, watched Dancing With the Stars and are now sleeping. It's better this way, actually. I didn't have a problem taking today off and tomorrow I have to be in the office - at least in the afternoon. So we'll go to breakfast at 7:30 AM and they will leave town,.

I have to admit, however, that when Allison had the dream of Cynthia and her daughter talking at the lake, I was sure that meant that Cynthia was going to be dead soon, too, at the hands of that psychopath. Thus, the ending was a surprise. And, of course, Cynthia will get off. Killing that girl while in the throes of grief will most likely let her plead temporary insanity.

Post by: FJL on March 31, 2008, 09:31:31 PM: Jose - We don't have any connections to as many shows as you have, but we've basically stopped offering to get house seats for certain people, and even have for a few people said we don't know anybody even when we have known someone. Examples: After having had some people cancel house seats after we went ot some trouble, not to mention our being embarrassed by that, we just started telling that person we don't know anybody. Another person (a friend of a friend, visiting from California) that we really went out of our way to get tickets for a few very hot shows as a big favor took it so much for granted that it was easy to do that he just didn't bother using all the tickets, so our friend who had asked us to help out ended up buying the tickets himself - there's another person we have since just said the white lie "no, we don't know anyone for that" when they've asked again. Another thought it was necessary to point out that "out of curiosity" they went online and saw they could have gotten just as good tickets the day before (side note: obviously released house seats) - another one for whom we just have to say we won't go out of our way again.

Of course, if any of these people were actual family or really clsoe freinds, I'd go out of my way anytime. But there are some of those.... :)

And since everyone's Wednesday matinees have been close to sold out lately... But, trust me, I only ask when there is a pressing need - at least when it comes to my parents.

Whenever I was doing a show in DC, my Mom would always say to me, "Just get us tickets for any date, and then just tell us when we can go." Well... Needless to say, I never got tickets for any random date. And the number of times I would arrange and confirm tickets for my parents and their friends, only to find out a day or two before that they "may not be able to make it" since they forgot they had something else planned - or that their friends were not available to come with them that night. -Well, they would just end up calling other friends. ;)

I still routinely get calls from my Mom telling me that some friends/relatives are coming to New York City, and she wants me to get tickets to a show for them... Then when I tell her that she or they will have to pay for them, well... They usually just end up going to dinner. ;)

Some people seem to assume that when you know someone, why can't you just undo the transaction.
