TOD: When I was in Savannah to celebrate Johnny Mercer's birthday last November, I finally got to go to the ice cream shop Leopold's, owned by film producer I first met on a film back in 1978. (Eeek!) It's a family business, and Johnny used to go there when he was growing up and whenever he returned to Savannah. He is the one currently producing Captain Marvel (he just did The Wolfman) and I met up with him in LA when Greg and I were out there in Feb. I hope to be working on a project with him @ June.
His wife asked me what my favorite flavors were and I told her "dark chocolate and orange". Lo and behold, they had just created this flavor. It was sooooooo gooooood!
Favorite ice cream sandwich: No contest---the one we had on my last trip. They came from a place called MILK, and Peter and I had it at Umami Burger. We split one but I would have rather had one all on my own!

Today I was at Whole Foods and tried several gelato flavors that their gelato kid cooked up. One was a green apple soda one. I was hoping it would be like the yummiest gelato I'd ever had, a champagne sorbet at Giolitti's in Rome. Not quite, but pretty tasty.
I also tried a hanañero chocolate that was so hot it made me start coughing. It had a real kick that I wasn't expecting. He gave me a coconut sample to cleanse my palate. I was hoping it would be like a cayenne pepper dark chocolate one that our post house chef made once, but no...it was too hot for me!

How's ROOM SERVICE? Haven't watched that one yet
"Room Service" was fun, if a bit stage bound. There's a young Lucille Ball to add to mayhem and an even younger Ann Miller as the love interest. Not top drawer, but a charming way to spend some time.
-
I do not like ROOM SERVICE. It was a Broadway play and then bought for films with the Marxes shoved into it, and for me they just don't fit at all.
AT THE CIRCUS is lots of fun. I also like GO WEST and THE BIG STORE, their other MGM features after AT THE CIRCUS though it's clear they're getting older and some of the shenanigans are a little tired.

Ice cream -- one of my favorite foods. Can't remember the first time I had it; I was probably a babe in arms still. (Mom started me on beef when I was six months old, or so I've been told, so ice cream was most likely not that far behind.)
When I was around 10 or 12, one of the special treats I can remember is getting a Matterhorn at Baskin Robbins. It was seven scoops of ice cream with whipped cream and nuts on top. Heaven. In the mix were always flavors with nuts in them or something crunchy for added texture: Jamoca Almond Fudge, Pistachio Almond Fudge, Pecan Praline. And something with a touch of alcohol, such as Dacquiri Ice. Of course everything melted together into a pool at the bottom of the dish, but that goo was part of the fun.
A few years back, I bought a double ice cream maker, so you can make two flavors at once (or one large batch of the same flavor). I've been able to experiment with my own ideas. Last year, I made a candied bacon-ginger ice cream and a mint-cocoa nibs ice cream (above), using mint from the back yard, among others.
Favorite store brands in recent years have included Horizon's organic chocolate chocolate-peanut butter cup and Haagen-Dazs' ginger five, which I can't find too easily. I'm not a big fan of American gelati, because the texture is too often greasy and slick.
There's an ice cream parlor in San Antonio called Brindles that makes an open faced ice cream sandwich that's quite wonderful. It's called Muddy Feet, and they spread cookie dough on the bottom of the dish, heat it in the microwave until it's warm and almost done, so you get a good doughy flavor. Then it's topped warm with ice cream that melts into it.

Monday - Interesting TAR developments....

Of course I am not eating ice cream these days....however.....
One of the first ice cream bars I ate was a Popsickle....not really ice cream.
THEN one day when the truck came down the street, the little girl in front of me asked for a DREAMSICKLE.....so I asked for one, too.
It is still my favorite ice cream bar - called many different things....it is sherbert surrounding vanilla ice cream.

I have no idea what my first ice cream was or what flavor, but it was most likely one of the local brands from back then--either Bryers or Abbotts. My first favorite flavor as a youngen was banana, which could only be found at the Cow Tail Bar in Voorhees, NJ. Banana ice cream was also promised to me when I had my tonsils removed, but that promise was broken.
My first ice cream bar was probably an Abbotts ice cream sandwich.
Nowadays, if I buy store-bought ice cream, I'll go for Bryers (my favorite being the Triple Chocolate or Vanilla Fudge.) Bryers seems to be the one ice cream that uses the least amount of preservatives and artificial ingredients. I also like a couple of Ben & Jerry flavors, like Cherry Garcia or Chubby Hubby. And Hagen Daz has just started selling something called Hagen Daz Five, which contains only five ingredients--the chocolate is delish!

I've always liked ROOM SERVICE. Taken as a Marx Brothers movie, it's not as bad as some of their other later pics...

Hmmm...years ago, I had a problem where I always quickly wore out a hole at the elbow in my dress shirts at work. I did not seem to ever have that problem when I had my own office. Today, after being back in a cube for only four weeks, I discovered a hole in my left sleeve.

Good morning, all! I stayed up too late last night reading M.F.K. Fisher's delightful Consider the Oyster. Early this morning I was having very peculiar dreams about alien takeover and violent chickens so that, when the alarm went off, it was so dark outside from the rain, that I slept in. My noisy neighbor was not home last night - I suspect he's in Canada with family for Passover - and his rather noisy afternoon yesterday with lots of banging around was probably his packing up to go. That means I've got a couple of quiet nights to relish this week.
A happy turn of events yesterday was a phone call from my friend at the Library of Congress, the one I had inadvertently upset during all of the LIFE BEGINS brouhaha a month ago. It was a very pleasant surprise and, now that the 840 madness is past, all is well.
Today is a WIZARD OF OZ day; I'd like to get through all of the remaining Act One scores today, so we'll see how that goes.

My father loved Rocky Road ice cream.
We had a deep freezer chest in our home. My Dad would buy himself a gallon of RR, sneak it into the house, and hide it at the bottom of the freezer.
Didn't work. My brother and I always knew where it was.

I've seen it done that way, too, and for me it just doesn't work. It's not funny. For me, the movie is not funny either. In fact, it's the first Marx Brothers film in their string starting with THE COCOANUTS that didn't make me laugh once. I prefer everything else they eve did (including the weak A NIGHT AT CASABLANCA and the weaker LOVE HAPPY) to it.

Good morning!
Moderate temperatures this morning since rain is still in our forecast and it's very gray. (No more rain yet, however.) I enjoyed my walk though there was much debris on the street from the huge storm we had last night.

Yes, there were two tornado touchdowns in the vicinity, both to the west of where I live, but walking around the house today was sad because the blooming flowers either had their petals torn off or the flowers themselves were beaten into the ground.

I saw the UPS truck drive right by the house this morning so it loolks like no new review material will be forthcoming = day off! I am happy about that, especially since it appears both soaps today will feature my boys. Looking forward to both of them.

I spent this morning catching up on more world championship skating on YouTube taken from foreign broadcasts and one from someone's camcorder.
I began with Jeremy Abbott's short program. Very nice quality, lyrical skating and he landed all his jumps, a great improvement from his disastrous Olympic short program where he downgraded two of his three jumping passes to lesser moves. I thought he was a bit underscored.
-
Ice cream? I have no idea what my firsts were. The ice cream brands and palces of my childhood would be Carnation, Thrifty's (loved their Cherry vanilla), Skagg's Drugstore, and Baskin Robbins. The drugstore soda fountains around me usually served Lily brand ice cream.
For birthday parties, we always seemed to have the rectangular carton of Neopolitan that was sliced.
-
But then I spent time watching bronze medal winner Laura Lepisto from Finland in both her short and long programs. If there is ANY doubt that judges are still holding up favored skaters who skate mediocrely even with this new judging system, Laura Lepisto is the poster child for this movement.
In her short program, she botched a double axel, a major move in any senior ladies competition, and her triple-triple combination was made up of the two easiest triples: salchow/toe loop. Yet, she scored third highest in the competition, three places higher than Rachael Flatt who landed her double axel and had a much harder triple-triple combination: flip/toe loop.
In the long program, Lepisto landed that same easy triple-triple combination and then skated to the other end of the rink and landed a triple lutz. And that was effectively the end of her long program because she doubled every other jump she had in her program. This long program which included only three triple jumps (the equivalent of what won the 1983 world championship when Roslyn Sumners won the title) won the bronze medal!
Now, Lepisto is a slim, lovely, lyrical skater. But to have no more difficulty in her program, and with no difficult transitions leading into DOUBLE jumps is an insult to current skating standards, and a slap in the face to skaters who completed seven or eight triples cleanly in their programs.
-
I looked at Rachael Flatt's long program (which was judged only the 9th best skate of the night!). Her triple-triple combination had a rocky landing on the triple flip so she did a double toe loop instead. Later on in the slow section of her program, she tried to fit in that triple toe lop that she didn't do in the combination, and she popped it landing only a single (poor decision). However, later in the program, she added a double toe loop to her triple salchow in the bonus area to make up some points she had lost earlier.
Still, this finished 9th in placement.
I am SO disenchanted with the current scoring favoring certain skaters no matter how poorly they skate (Yu-Na was also the beneficiary of favored scores when she fell on a jump and popped her double axel in the long program and she still WON the long program phase of the competition and won the silver medal overall.)
And, DR Jennifer, I haven't watched her programs yet, but from everything I've read, your Canadian top skater did clean programs in the long and short and didn't finsh on the podium either. I look forward to catching up with her programs either later today or tomorrow.

There were two "baby talk" anecdotes my mother used to repeat ad nauseum, one involving me, the other my eldest sister. Evidently when I was quite young, still a toddler, and barely able to walk, while I was in my high chair I kept screaming "Reen! Reen!" Of course no one had the slightest idea what I was talking about (strangely, that part hasn't changed despite my somewhat increased verbal acuity). So anyway after about 15 minutes of this, my mother put me down on the floor and told me to show her "reen." I crawled over to the refrigerator which was the old fashioned kind with the freezer on the bottom, opened up the freezer and pointed to the vanilla ice cream and pointed to it and screamed: "Reen!" Thus began my lifelong love affair with ice cream. SLC had two great local parlors when I was growing up, Snelgrove's and VaLora's, both of which had delish chocolate and burnt almond fudge.

TOD:
One of my earliest recollections is coming home from the hospital at age 5 after having my tonsils taken out and my mother giving me a dish of vanilla ice cream. I also remember asking her if I could have some prunes, and she said yes.
-
My sister's anecdote is funnier, IMHO. She evidently went ballistic one day when she was 2 or so telling my mother she wanted to see "the hangers." So my mother took her back to the closet and showed them to her, which only sent my sister over the edge into near hysteria. Those weren't the hangers she wanted to see. My mother was at a complete loss and my sister was screaming bloody murder for most of the rest of the day. Several weeks later they went to SLC's Hogle Zoo and as my sister approached the monkeys, she pointed and exclaimed with glee, "Hangers!"

For birthday parties, we always seemed to have the rectangular carton of Neopolitan that was sliced.
My father was a pharmacist, and when he was first starting out he owned his own drugstore in a small town in Ohio. It had a soda fountain, and he also served the ice cream. One time he made ice cream cones for my brother and me, and my brother decided it was a fine idea to turn his ice cream cone upside down and smear it all over the counter. (He was probably about 4.) Since I was about 2 and copied everything he did, I did the same. There were other customers at the counter, and I remember my father looking very embarrassed that we were his kids and quickly cleaning up after us. I don't know if we got punished later, but it is the last time I remember having ice cream there!
His store only lasted a few years. He was too generous and always helped out people who didn't have the cash to pay for their drugs but promised to pay it later, but never did, or else did some sort of trade. (It was a farm community.) You can only stay in business a short time at that rate.

Monday morning greetings! I took it easy all weekend and took the meds the CNP (certified nurse practitioner) prescribed on Saturday and feel a lot better. Good thing, 'cause this is going to be a busy week.

Only Rob will be staying with us (he lives here, after all), but we're hosting a big "green eggs and ham" pre-Easter dinner on Wednesday. Today I have to get my cooking act together...

While it would have been thrilling for the Canadian Cynthia Phaneuf to win a mdeal i'm sure she was more than thrilled with 5th place (and 4th in the long program). She was actually only 1 point from winning a bronze medal. With joannie Rochette dropping out of the worlds i don't think anyone expected much of cynthia. She was hoping for a top 10 finish. But i thought her long program was incredible. It was completely clean and very unexpected. in retrospect after i was upset that she didn't get on thne podium. But at the time i watched it was just so thrilled for her. She finished 12th at the Olumpics so this was pretty amazing.
But i think i sort of disagree with you about the scoring. I was also disappointed that yu-na kim won the long program with her fall and missed jump. But if her program is that much harder and has a higher score potential if she's clean then that is a fact.
I saw rachel flatt's long program and didn't think it was that good. It was fine. She just seems very young and unplished to me right now. I didn't really think that most of the girls did that well. I would much rather see it play out like it did at the olympics where a lot of the programs were near perfection.

Oh, my, where do I start? I guess my ice cream addiction began when my mother worked the window at Larry's, the ice cream shop across the street from our home in Portland, Oregon. Larry used a secret recipe that, apparently, went to the grave with him. He made only vanilla and chocolate, except for during the holidays, when he made peppermint. The story goes that Mom used to walk over there with me in my stroller and one day Larry told her that they'd be closed for a while, because he wanted to take a vacation and couldn't find anyone to work the store. She said, "I'll do it!" and the rest is history. We moved to Detroit in 1953, when I was 2 and my sister was 12. She was pouting one day about leaving Portland and said, "And I never did have a Larry's malt!" That's still our family expression for any kind of major disappointment.

But i'm still unsure how bright they are. I really dislike the lesbians. They are unathletic and quite mean and snarky. And i cannot believe how many teams made stupid mistakes last night. So many teams didn't even check to see if all those coconuts/rocks? made it on their cart. That was crazy! And god bless those cowboys. At least they were good swimmers.

My favorite Haagen-Dazs will ALWAYS be the plain old "Coffee".
However, there were some new flavor combos in my grocery aisle Saturday....and the one I've tried is Amaretto-Almond. The Almond is actually a brittle with almond chips in it. Tasty....but the brittle isn't something I usually eat (rough on the crowns, as it were).

Re: taking it out in trade, sometimes I wonder if I'm too much like my Dad.
Scenario #1: A friend of mine needed some cash when she was between film jobs. She does fun animal portraits so I commissioned her to do my 4 cats. She usually takes 1/2 the amount as deposit and the other half when you're happy with what she created.
So I gave her half to get her through Christmas.
Later she was still broke and asked me for the other half and promised me she would be working on it soon.
She's had many weeks where she wasn't working, and I commissioned it a year and a half ago! It sort of annoys me that I made the effort to help her and she didn't reciprocate. She is one of my best friends, and I've asked her about it once but don't want to continue and strain our friendship.

Scenario #2: Our researcher on the Mercer film had a truck that died and couldn't get to work. So I loaned him my old car, and let him drive it for a few weeks to see if he'd like to buy it. After a month, we made a deal and he said he'd pay $2,000. After a few months, he paid me the first 1,000 and since he was now out of work, I said he could do some painting or carpentry or whatever he liked, at a very generous rate.
Several days he said he would be coming over but never showed. He finally did show up one day but I had already gone to work so Greg had to take the day to show him what to do. Together, they started to prep an outdoor building for painting.
He said he'd come back that weekend to paint, so we ran around getting all the paint and materials. But he never showed up. Didn't even call. I emailed him late in the afternoon to see if something had happened.
Well...he slept until after 11...and then had to go to Comcast...and then...and then...
So he hasn't been back, but occasionally I'll get a call from him saying he left his machete here and wants to pick it up. Then he never shows up!
Guess I'd better not make him mad when he DOES show up!
This is on top of Greg turning down several days of work to help this guy on a film he wants to make, and then the guy cancelled every time.
I think I am going to hire a professional painter.
-
Scenario #3: My assistant editor, whom I hired for Mercer when he was between seasons and hungry for work, was let go after working for public television for 8 years, writing and producing his series. I gave him some of the editing to do, changed his title to associate editor and got him a very good pay raise.
After Mercer was done, there wasn't much work and I had too much going on with The Closer, so I paid him to edit several sequences for the baseball film. It was worth it to me to pay him out of my own pocket so I could keep going on The Closer, but since my rate on the doc is so low, I was hoping the producer would come through, since the original budget called for an assistant. The producer came through and I had him write a check directly to my teammate, who would reimburse me once the check cleared.
He got the check immediately, but kept saying he would bring it over, then was too busy with all the other work that Greg had lined up for him to drop it by. Over a month later: "What's your address? I need to mail you a check and an invitation to my wedding".
I don't mind with him because at least I benefitted form it---he did a great job, and I will probably have him help on the online.
But I just have to ask myself: Is it me??? Am I genetically pre-disposed to being a door mat?

I have no recollection of my first taste of ice cream. As a kid I never did care for strawberry ice cream, and vanilla was too dull. When we would go to an ice cream shop I would always go for the Chocolate Chip Mint.
For store bought ice creams I just love the many flavors of Ben and Jerry's, espcially Cherry Garcia.
Ice Cream seems to do bad things for my blood sugar so I don't have it much any more.

I've left that open wall for it so it's looked off balance for a long time. I thought if I gave her a date...well, we'll see. And I'll post a picture of it if I get it!

Edi, that is wonderful to have tried to assist these people. You are not a doormat, you are just a person who cares. You may not be paid back by them, but you will be paid back (depending on your belief system) in karma, perhaps, or the afterlife, or just in knowing you did a nice thing.
Don't stop doing nice things, but looks like you may need to consider the outcome if the person does not remember what you did for them, so you don't get in a jam yourself.

I am also going to hired someone to pressure wash and seal our deck. I spent a week cleaning it but never finished. It is covered in slimy green and black sediment but Greg didn't want to use a pressure washer.
Some things are better left to the experts!

By the way, Edisaurus, the flower photos last night were beautiful....and the photos were just the right size, from what I could see. No widescreen here.

My favorite kinds of ice cream are: chocolate mint chip and Haagen Dazs strawberry cheesecake.
(http://www.nestle.ca/NR/rdonlyres/ED732B0B-DC4D-4830-BE65-0BB2A0B4D4CB/0/extraas_strawberry_en.gif)
My favorite Haagen-Dazs will ALWAYS be the plain old "Coffee".
However, there were some new flavor combos in my grocery aisle Saturday....and the one I've tried is Amaretto-Almond. The Almond is actually a brittle with almond chips in it. Tasty....but the brittle isn't something I usually eat (rough on the crowns, as it were).
And by crowns, you mean tiaras. :)

Well, since April 15th is looming, I don't think I'll be helping out anybody else any time soon. The life of a freelancer!

Fortunately, I'm reaping huge rewards from my garden, where something new is blooming every day. Everything has come back form the food, bigger and better that ever.
And some plants have ended up in different places, far from their original spot, thanks to the flood. (Probably should put them back where they belong...)
-
Better go before there's a whole page of ME! I'm laying in Dustin's voice, and since he talks so much slower than my director's scratch track...lots of re-editing of music and photos. I just hope I don't get into a situation where I need more of a shot from stock footage, since we've already ordered it!
Dustin is so funny. My favorite quote (when he was surprised I knew about Minsk and Pinsk): "Amy! How do you know all this shit? You're the best Jew in the room!"
Maybe I should replace my Lewis Carroll quote with that!
-
I'm up, have answered e-mails, gotten an e-mail from the person at my publisher who always makes sure things are running smoothly, and hopefully they should have downloaded the book by now.

Yikes DR EDISAURUS.....life goes on, as you said. And really things turn out evenly in the end.

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!
I'm up, I'm up... And this rainy day and Monday is not getting me down. However, it did cause me to linger a bit longer under my comforter this morning. :)

Listening to Pandora's bossa nova channel. SUCH beautiful music!
Is there such a thing as "not beautiful" bossa nova?
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
Well, well, well... Where to start? ;)
"What was the very first flavor ice cream you ever had and do you remember the brand."
I'm guessing it was probably either Vanilla or Neapolitan (which, of course, is three flavors in one), and most likely Safeway's "Snow Star" brand. I can still picture those signature blue cartons in the freezer. My mom was also very fond of Spumoni too. -On the other hand, my mom's least favorite flavor of ice cream is "chocolate".
-
"What was the very first type of ice cream bar you ever had and where was it from?"
My first ice cream bar memory is the classic Ice Cream Sandwich - vanilla ice cream sandwich'd between two chocolate cookies/wafers. However, I still remember the first time I tried a Good Humor "Toasted Almond" bar from the neighborhood ice cream truck - I had just finish swim practice - that made me a fan for life. -And I like the other "eclair" and "shortcake" ice cream bars.
-
My first conscious memory of ice cream is vanilla, which they gave me when I had my tonsils out. I probably had some before then, but that's my first actual memory.
Favorite all-time ice cream - the frozen vanilla custard stand at the old Ocean Park pier - if that counts as ice cream.
-
Favorite ice cream bar - I, too, liked Creamsicles and I liked Fudgsicles. And though I can't remember what they were called or the brand, I loved the ice cream bar covered in chocolate over vanilla ice cream.
-
For the last decade, my favorite ice cream flavor has been Ben and Jerry's fudge chip almond coconut thing.
-
What is your favorite ice cream bar, favorite ice cream flavor, and of all the pre-packaged ice creams, which are your favorites?
-Tie between the aforementioned Good Humor "Toasted Almond", and a Dove "Dark Chocolate with Vanilla Ice Cream Bar".
-Chocolate anything. I like "texture": nuts, chips, chunks, swirls, etc.
-Ben & Jerry's "Phish Food", "New York Super Fudge Chunk", "everything but the..."
-
I've edited "Down on the Brandywine" and half of "Carrie Berry," from the 1902 WIZARD OF OZ and I'm taking a break to do some mending: I have a hole in a pocket of the pants I'm wearing and it needs to be repaired. Then I will watch Kyle and Fish on ONE LIFE TO LIVE, perhaps take a walk in the rain and go back to the edits.
As Shirley Temple sings:
I love to walk in the rain
Look for me when it's stormy down some leafy lane and I'll be there
I love to walk in the rain
The lightning may be fright'ning but I love the rain so I don't care
I feel wonderful
When the skies above are thunder-full
I don't complain
And though it's fun in the sun
It takes all kinds of weather
When all's said and done, I love to walk in the rain!
-
And which ice cream parlors do you love?
I tend to like the most "local" one in the city that I happen to be in.
NYC - GROM (gelato), Cones (gelato), Ronnybrook Farms, Emack & Bolio's, Shake Shack
Philly - Bassett's, Capogiro (gelato)
Rock Island, IL (Quad Cities) - Whitey's, Lagomarcino's Confectionary
DC - Gifford's, Thomas Sweet, Frozen Dairy Bar
Chicago - Scooter's Frozen Custard
Fredericksburg, VA - Carl's Ice Cream (just Chocolate and Vanilla!)
Richmond, VA - Bev's Homemade
etc., etc., etc.
-
Should we tell Monkey he's really a "hanger"?
Well... The loop coming out of his head is no longer a loop, so he's usually more of a "sitter" than a "hanger".

And, of course, we cannot leave out the best of all: C.C. Brown's and their amazing hot fudge sundae.

This reminds me that this morning whilst driving to work, I was behind a car that looked like it had red Hebrew letters on a white background, albeit the Hebrew looked like it was upside down. I tailgated the car for a moment and suddenly realized it was actually white English letters saying "Alta" (the ski resort in Utah) against a red background. Oy.
-
And now...
I need to do a bit more investigating and preparing for my for my friend's birthday dinner. 50th Birthday Dinner. I actually went ahead and polled some "foodies" on Twitter - Frank Bruni, Robert Sietsema, Ruth Reichl, etc. - and, lo and behold, a bunch of them responded with their favorite birthday restaurants, so... I have a feeling we may be doing a "crawl" - in the rain, alas - and sampling various dishes from various restaurants tonight.
Laters...

More TOD
DR Edi's story of her father's pharmacy reminded me of the drugstore near our house in Detroit. It had a soda fountain that featured Stroh's (like the beer) ice cream and when a kid had a prescription filled, Pharmacist Hoffman gave you an Rx for an ice cream cone. My dad and I often walked there on summer evenings and I always got a chocolate cone.
We also had the Good Humor truck in our neighborhood and my mom can still mimic our "Wai-i-i-i-it a second!" shout-out to the driver. I remember the two-tone popsicles - raspberry/lime, raspberry/orange.

Next time you're in NY Jose, remember the ice cream bars at MILK!

Thank you, Ben and Anthony. She will love those!

One time a guy who looked very poor came into my dad's store. He could not talk very distinctly, but my dad thought he was asking for "old clothes", so he went in the back of the store and gathered up a few of his clothes and brought them back to the guy. The guy got a little irate, and then motioned that he wanted to write something.
He wrote down "whole cloves". Apparently he'd just been to the dentist (if you chew on whole cloves it helps numb the pain). Typical Dad story, willing to give some stranger the shirt off his back, and he didn't even want it. LOL!
-
Even more TOD -
And, then, in Ann Arbor there was is Washtenaw Dairy (http://washtenawdairy.com/index.html). It's in the "townie" part of A2, not real convenient to the University. Worth the trip, though, for an ice cream cone the "size of a parking meter," as my dad described them.
-
I'm off to the grocery store and, in honor of today's topic, I'm wearing my sweatshirt that says, "There's nothing wrong with me that a little ice cream won't fix." More stories later...bye for now!

From JMK:
No, I think you didn't ready MY posts if you're referring to the death certificates.
You are right, it is me. Not that I'm intentionally doing it. If I missed a post I was watching for, I must be missing other posts. I'm having trouble with controlling the scroll ball on my new mouse, it goes too fast for my eyes to focus. Motion sickness has been a problem since I've begun using the new mouse-I do love the ease at which it moves.

Today's word of the day reminds me of watching the late Anthony Minghella's Oscar acceptance speech, where he said:
"Thanks to all my family who put up with me being away for so long. My wife, who's taught me the meaning of the word "uxoriousness." "
And I assume we were not the only household to shout back at the screen something to the effect of maybe she could teach us the meaning of that word - had not a clue what it meant. Of course, we did look it up and now know.
-
Fascinating stories, edi. Life lessons, for sure.

Back from a very light meal and whilst eating I did more paper blocking, although I've now become very bored of doing so, so I'll either finish some other time, or just do the big scenes with a lot of people - the two and three-person scenes are easy.

No, I don't mean any such thing.
Since this is what springs to your mind when someone mentions a "crown", please do tell us all about your tiaras so we can better understand you.

I've been tweaking the new Blu-ray back-up player, and I think I've finally got it the way I want it. It's taken me days to get things right, and I read up on all this stuff. I can't imagine how novices manage to set up new equipment.
-
I don't have an early memory of my "first" ice cream experience (and I didn't get my tonsils out until I was an adult), but growing up, my parents usually got the cheap store brand ice cream. But as kids, ice cream was ice cream and it was all good. :D
I remember that I really liked the orange sherbert/vanilla ice cream combo and whenever the ice cream truck came around, I love the ChocoTaco. Quite a few years ago, Dreyers or Breyers used to have a neapolitan chocolate...five different flavors of chocolate ice cream (dark to white) and it was delicious! I haven't seen it in stores in years.
Now, the most frequent ice cream that I get is Dairy Queen's Blizzard (which isn't really ice cream, I know...but I like it) or Schwan's various flavors. They come to our work every two weeks.
-
I've also made the mistake of loaning "friends" money when things were tight. Time passes; things get "untight" and they still don't pay you back. I'll NEVER do that again.

When I got in from a long lunch, I put in ANNIE GET YOUR GUN (the 1950 film) and watched it this afternoon. I just wanted something light and REASONABLY entertaining. The film isn't all it could have been, but it's colorful and the songs are great.
-
Then I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Some good stuff with Luke and Reid (and even Noah popped up in a scene or two). They weren't in the previews for tomorrow, however.
-
Page Five Dance!!!

Then I skimmed through today's ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Both Kyle and Oliver were on, and Oliver finally got around to that envelope.
-
Tonight, I'll likely watch GRAN TORINO which I have on the DVR. That should finish up right before I start watching CHUCK around 8:30 or so.
-
We have a brand of ice cream in this area called Blue Bunny. Yep, a stupid name for an ice cream brand, but their chocolate is the very best packaged chocolate ice cream I have ever eaten. Nothing else in our local grocery stores even remotely matches the flavor and creaminess of Blue Bunny's chocolate.
-
I adore Barbara Cook's "Vanilla Ice Cream." I also liked Judy Kuhn's.
-
Back from some errands and whatnot and have put labels on all the boxes we'll need to address. My new helper should be here in about ten minutes.
-
I just finished watching CYnthia Phaneuf's free program. Very cleanly and tightly skated and CLEARLY superior to Laura Lepesto's. In fact, the only weaknesses I could discern in CYnthia's program was a lack of real transitions into and out of jumps. Her set-ups for the difficult triples were too long with no steps or moves prior to them, a must to add those extra points that put one on the podium. Her spiral was a trifle unsteady, too, but just a trifle. Overall, I liked it best of the ladies free programs which I've watched. I'll get to Yu-Na's, Ando's, and Asada's tomorrow morning most likely.
-
I adore Barbara Cook's "Vanilla Ice Cream." I also liked Judy Kuhn's.
Of course, it was just called "Ice Cream" when Barbara sang it. At least, that's what the cast album and Playbill called it.
-
Back from the grocery store, where I did not buy ice cream, but I will continue "my life in ice cream..."
When I came to SW Ohio in the early 1970's I discovered Graeter's, which is still in business, and Elite's, which (sadly) is not. Elite's was a Middletown family ice cream and candy business that had their plant and several retail locations around town. Their dark chocolate raisin clusters were outstanding and their ice cream was the best - especially chocolate peanut butter. They ceased operations at the end of 1988 and I'll never forget the bewildered look on DR Elmore's face when he arrived at our house after discovering their absence. He'd promised to bring us dessert and had driven around town to all the likely spots, only to find them all closed. I've never found another chocolatier who makes dark chocolate raisin clusters.
-
Now, I'll finish with some office ins and outs and then head down to do some evening viewing.

Scary news department: Portland Police have just notified a bunch of downtown offices that there is going to be a huge protest this afternoon with predicted property damage (!!), and that all workers are urged to vacate downtown before 4 p.m. So Betsy is on her way home. I'm assuming this is in response to all the police shootings here of late, which have been front page news.

Yikes, DR JMK - I hope Betsy gets home OK!

Found treasures department: I'm pulling stuff out of storage closets to move to the new house and just discovered something I had totally forgotten I had. I can't recall the specifics right now, but I have the most amazing posed photograph of my Uncle Pat (the one who made international headlines circa 1962 after being accused of being a Soviet Spy--about 10 seconds after my father, his brother, was promoted to Major General in the U.S. Army!). He's seated, with white gloves on and clutching a briefcase. It's a really arresting looking thing, and for some reason I remember Pat telling me it was taken by a son (nephew? cousin?) of Richard Avedon. The photo is signed, but unfortunately got smudged somewhere along the line, so I can't read it clearly. It really looks like an "Avedon," though, gorgeously rich black and white hues. And it's BIG--probably 2 feet by 3 feet. I'm going to have to do some research--I just Wikipedia'd (oy, a new verb), and Avedon's only son is a scholar of Tibet.

JMK, did you hear the explosion/sonic boom, or whatever it was yesterday?

John G-I always enjoy duck photos-thanks.
Not a duck this time. Just a gull, but I loved him against the blue sky. Saw a flock of roseatte spoonbills, too, but those photos just didn't come out.

It boggles my mind anyone can remember their first ice cream. In reality is that your first recollection of having ice cream, or your parents where very contentious about what you ate as a baby? ;)
I made all my own baby food & the boys ate mostly healthy foods, yet ice cream was Bryan's 1st food. A bit of Keith's vanilla soft ice cream. The kid was teething, we were at the mall & Keith gave him a small taste to ease the pain of teething & to shut the kid up. It worked ;D We were very surprised the next time Keith got an ice cream cone & Bryan remembered & wanted some. I guess ice cream was also Bryan's 2nd taste of food.
-
Very nice picture, John G.! That would make a great desktop wallpaper. :)

DR Jane, I remember sitting on the curb in Friendly's parking lot teaching my DS Rob to eat an ice cream cone when he was a pre-schooler. I think we brought him home and hosed him down in the driveway!

Of course I am not eating ice cream these days....however.....
One of the first ice cream bars I ate was a Popsickle....not really ice cream.
THEN one day when the truck came down the street, the little girl in front of me asked for a DREAMSICKLE.....so I asked for one, too.
It is still my favorite ice cream bar - called many different things....it is sherbert surrounding vanilla ice cream.
I thought that was a CREAMSICLE?

So, is the Ricky Martin news a surprise to anyone?

No (http://www.comcast.net/articles/music/20100329/US.People.Ricky.Martin/).
;)
-
So, is the Ricky Martin news a surprise to anyone?
He used to be a neighbor. No surprise!
-
So, why is it news?
-
So, why is it news?
Because he's been rumored to be gay for years and constantly denied it? Suddenly he outs himself; it's either for publicity or something else is brewing. It was rather obvious he was gay when he lived in this building while he was doing LES MIZ many years ago. There were several rumors floating around about an epic musical's casting back in the 90s, so that was another clue.
-
Sounds like publicity.

The Reuters story says he's writing his memoir, so it is about publicity.

Thanks, it cheered me up. I wish I were at a seder tonight, or I would wish it if I had the energy.

Edi, that is wonderful to have tried to assist these people. You are not a doormat, you are just a person who cares. You may not be paid back by them, but you will be paid back (depending on your belief system) in karma, perhaps, or the afterlife, or just in knowing you did a nice thing.
Don't stop doing nice things, but looks like you may need to consider the outcome if the person does not remember what you did for them, so you don't get in a jam yourself.
I agree. It sounds like you are very generous. It is too bad that these people have let you down. Hopefully they will eventually come through. But i agree with DR MBarnum. Just make sure your generosity is not going to hurt you.

Hi Jennifer, I thought you had a seder tonight.
-
I wish I were at a Sedar - I'm gonna get some gefilte fish.
-
Seder's over. I'm very full.
My aunt made an interesting dessert. It was sort of a passover version of strawberry shortcake. I liked it except for the cake part.
-
But it was still good. Since over half of it was not the cake part (which didn't really taste like cake).
-
My aunt also makes something which i love, called tsimis. It is carrots, dumplings, short ribs and chicken (and other things) mixed in a delicious sauce. I only get it once a year. But it is so good!

This is the first i've heard about this now (although i've heard the rumors for years). So it's not a surprise.
I actually used to like him a long time ago. I remember my uncle got me and my sister tickets to his concert and we were in like the 5th row. But that was years and years ago.

I think I will go watch DANCING WITH THE STARS now. So i'll have time to vote. I like that we can vote in Canada too. And i like that they limit the number of votes. And i also like that you can start voting as soon as the show starts. I don't like that you can only vote for 30 minutes after the show though. It doesn't give much time if you start watching late. Although i don't really care about voting that much.

My therapist is going to a seder tonight. He was asking questions about the food & what to expect. Fortunately he had seen the Ten Commandments ;D He can't eat meat & I was trying to think what foods he should avoid. I think I mentioned the latkes. I suggested he taste a matzo ball.

How nice there is a guest house at the retirement community. Have a nice visit with your family.

Seder's over. I'm very full.
My aunt made an interesting dessert. It was sort of a passover version of strawberry shortcake. I liked it except for the cake part.
Not liking the cake part doesn't surprise me ;D
I know. And guess what? I don't even really like matzah. Although my mom made chocolate matzah which i will eat.
I love matzos, eat it all the time. I only eat Passover matzos at seders-way too dry for me. I stock up on the regular stuff before Passover.
-
Thanks, it cheered me up. I wish I were at a seder tonight, or I would wish it if I had the energy.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Too exhausted even to think about it.
Does this mean you usually celebrate Passover?
-
I told my therapist I thought he could eat coconut macaroons if they had them, & was sure he could eat almond ones. He didn't know what they are. His parents were from China & he doesn't seem to have been exposed to Jewish food, or people. A friend is taking him to the seder.
-
My therapist is very nice & I didn't realize how cute until he cut his hair. He asked me today if his tied back pony tail was more professional looking than his new look. I didn't think the pony tail was "professional" looking but asked if he was comparing it to the model look. :) He really does look like a model now. He beamed at my model reference.

Yes. I have a friend who was born Jewish and though he's now studying for his doctorate in divinity from a Methodist university, he and his wife would have a Seder every year at their home. Not this year, however. We will have a mini-version at church on Thursday, but it's not the same (though the wine they pour is as sweet and sticky -- and not to my taste-- as it is as the Seder's I've had at temples in the past.)

There are several, DR Jane. My cousin and his family are in a nice 2 bedroom patio home and tomorrow my sister and her husband will stay for 2 nights in a studio before they move into our house when Richard and I leave for Easter weekend in Lima.

My Passover wine of choice-tastes great mixed with chopped apples & raisins.

John G, I find it interesting you get to go to seder's when I don't. :) If we went to L.A. for the holiday we would be invited to at least two.

Bedtime for Bozo.
G'night!

We actually have to be there for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday and decided it was silly to drive back and then go again for Sunday, so we're staying in a hotel. Rob and Mary Linda will join us on Friday and on Saturday we'll visit with our niece, who's a Methodist minister, and her family.
-
Well, it's The Brain rehearsal time! I won't need to be there the whole time. We're going to do "ACT I clean/fill in" and he'll let us out as we're no longer needed...whenever that will be.
Until later!

I had a very busy day.
I remember ice cream.

As Mel Brooks once wrote: "Look for the best, expect the worst"! :D

When I went down, I decided I was in the mood for a classic, and then I spied on the shelf a film noir I have had in a box set for years, but being familiar with the movie, I hadn't watched it on DVD since I bought this set.
I'm talking, of course, of THE ASPHALT JUNGLE. Not the greatest transfer in the world. This was the best version of the film they could find? Of course, if I had had time, I could have listened to the (most likely) illuminating commentary by everyone's favorite film professor Dr. Drew Casper, and that might have explained why this kind of dirty and definitely scratched element was used for the transfer.
Anyway, the film is SO good. Sterling Hayden was never a great actor, but this is probably his best performance. Louis Calhern was nominated as Best Actor for THE MAGNIFICENT YANKEE in 1950, but he could have been up for this, too. The film was NOT nominated for Best Picture (MGM had FATHER OF THE BRIDE and KING SOLOMON'S MINES as their Best Picture nominees) though John Huston's direction and script were both nominated.
-
Next, I had time to watch an episode of THE CLOSER. This was the one where a man seeks sanctuary in a Catholic church and Brenda does everything she can to snuff the man out since he's the chief suspect in the deaths of two Mexican policemen.
This was also the episode that did away with Brenda's Priority Homicide Division and replaced it with Major Crimes Division.
A very enjoyable episode.
-
CHUCK was pretty good tonight, too, though there were certainly some hackneyed moments (Shaw and Sarah kissing and Chuck stumbles on them).
-
And I concluded my evening with tonight's exciting edition of '24' with time running out before a nuclear reactive device is exploded in NYC. Jack's also fighting against a mole within CTU doing everthing she can to thwart his rescue operation.

Ricky Martin lived in Larry's building? Was this pre-superstardom?

LOL, I have no idea what Maundy Thursday is. It sounds like you will have a very nice weekend.

After we finished (it was slow going, as I had to teach her how to do the various addressing, postage, and claims forms things), I went to Gelson's and got some gefilte fish, a tiny bit of chopped liver, and some egg and onion matzoh. So, I was sort of Jewish this evening.
-
I asked the four questions:
1. Why on this night are we on page seven rather than page six?
2. Why is it so easy to gain weight and so hard to lose it?
3. Why does the word phlegm exist?
4. Why do all these questions start with why?

The Lee Majors bionic hearing aid is being advertised on tv...REALLY

We have a brand of ice cream in this area called Blue Bunny. Yep, a stupid name for an ice cream brand, but their chocolate is the very best packaged chocolate ice cream I have ever eaten. Nothing else in our local grocery stores even remotely matches the flavor and creaminess of Blue Bunny's chocolate.
Hey now, don't be making fun of Blue Bunny! It's made about 30 miles north of me in LeMars, Iowa...the Ice Cream Capitol of the World

I remember my mom dropping my sister off for her piano lesson and she and I would go across the street and get a scoop of rainbow sherbet in a cone while we waited. We either went to a Bayless store or maybe the piano teacher's name was Mrs. Bayless. I was about four years old.
My favorite birthday activity is to buy some Ben and Jerry's Karamel Sutra ice cream and eat it all.
-
I do not remember a time when I did not eat ice cream. Nor do I want to imagine living without it....
-
Ricky Martin lived in Larry's building? Was this pre-superstardom?
Around 1995 or so? I don't remember his being around for more than six months or so. I don't even know how long he was in LES MIZ! He was not a long tenant in the building but he was friendly, no sense of attitude or stardom.
-
Maundy Thursday is the day commemorating The Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples. Our church back home does a nice cantata for services.

I just finished watching Jeremy Abbott's long program at the worlds. He had two falls: one on his opening quad (full rotation but couldn't land it) and a stupid botched DOUBLE axel (he did two perfect and gorgeous TRIPLE axels in combination). The rest of the program was as expert as his national championship program was and clearly the most difficult free program of ANY of the men. So I was OK with his finshing fifth overall this year.
Consistency and a handle on his nerves is obviously going to be what he needs to work on in the future if he continues to skate competitively.

Only making fun of the name, not the product. It is THE best I've ever tasted.

Now I guess I'll head downstairs and think about what I want to read before I turn out the light.

It is good ice cream. My favorite is Burgundy cherry with dark chocolate. It's cherry ice cream with big burgundy cherries and chunks of dark chocolate in it. I'm not sure they sell it in stores, I used to find it at the official ice cream parlor ...but they don't sell it anymore

The Big Scoop on Blue Bunny® Since 1913, the colossally creative artisans at Wells' Dairy, Inc.—the largest family-owned and managed dairy processor in the United States—have been hard at work putting all things chunky, chewy, rich and gooey into their ice cream.
The Blue Bunny® brand was born in 1935 after the Wells brothers held a "Name That Ice Cream" contest in the Sioux City Journal . A Sioux City man won the $25 cash prize after submitting the winning entry along with his rendition of the original Blue Bunny® character.
Today, ice cream aficionados throughout all 50 states and Mexico can choose from nearly 500 tantalizingly tasty Blue Bunny® ice cream flavors, frozen dairy desserts and delectable novelties.
Blue Bunny® is made in Le Mars, Iowa: The Ice Cream Capital of the World. More ice cream is made in Le Mars than any other place on the planet!
Visitors to Le Mars are always welcome at The Ice Cream Capital of the World Visitor Center . There, you'll learn all about the history of ice cream, Wells' Dairy and Blue Bunny®; experience fascinating interactive exhibits; and get a glimpse at how America's favorite treat is made.

Blue Bunny® Ice Cream - A Brief History of Ice Cream
The origins of ice cream reach back to the first centuries B.C. Yet, the ice cream recipe did not reach the New World until the 1700s.
Americans’ love affair with ice cream is centuries-old. The origins of the frosty treat reach back to the first centuries B.C., when, as the story goes, ancient Persians and Chinese stored ice to serve it with honey, rosewater or nuts. Furthermore, during Roman times, emperors sent their runners for mountain snow, which was then flavored with fruits and juices and enjoyed.
Legends about ice cream’s history abound: In the 13th century, Marco Polo brought the first ice cream recipe to Europe after his trip to the Far East, and the Italian royalties fell in love with the dessert. Italian Princess Catherine de Medici brought the treat to France when she married King Henry II. In England, Charles I paid his cook a handsome sum to keep the recipe a state secret.
Most of these tales cannot be supported. Yet, it is true that over time the ice cream recipe evolved and spread throughout the continent. In the 17th century, the dessert became publicly available in Europe, and it is believed that in the 18th century the recipe crossed the Atlantic with European settlers.
Official records in the New World indicate that presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson developed a sweet tooth for ice cream. By 1813, ice cream became a state dish and was served at the second inaugural ball for President James Madison. As restaurants became more popular in the 19th century, ice cream became a favorite indulgence. Ice cream parlors and soda fountains spread as well.
By the mid 20th century, America had tried ice cream cones, bars and sandwiches. As time went on and technology advanced, ice cream manufacturers offered more yummy novelties.
Ice cream became a symbol during World War II, when each branch of the military tried to outdo the others in serving ice cream to its troops. By 1943, the U.S. military was the world’s largest ice cream manufacturer, and later the Navy built its first floating ice cream parlor for sailors in the Western Pacific. When the war ended, dairy product rationing was lifted and America celebrated its victory with ice cream.
Today, ice cream continues to be an all-American treat. In fact, the Ice Cream Capital of the World® is in Le Mars, Iowa, where more ice cream is made by Wells’ Dairy than in any other city in the world. Vanilla and chocolate continue to be favorite flavors, and there is no sign that Americans’ love affair with the frosty treat will end any time soon

John G, I find it interesting you get to go to seder's when I don't. :) If we went to L.A. for the holiday we would be invited to at least two.
It's a celebration of freedom. And it can be a very good meal, if you have the right people cook it.
My friend Bonnie makes her gefilte fish with salmon and plenty of dill. The haroset is sweet and tangy. The matzo ball soup reminds me of a soup my mother used to make with cream of wheat.
I usually make a flourless chocolate cake, though I remember one year when I arrived with cake in hand, I handed it to Bonnie to go get more items from the car. It slipped right out of her hands onto the floor. The cats dove for the chocolate. It was a hilarious sight, even if it meant we were left a quickly made strawberry napoleon using matzo crackers toasted with butter and cinnamon plus plenty of whipped cream.
-
Blue Bunny is good, but Blue Bell Ice Cream, made in Brenham, Texas, is even better. The factory dates back to 1907 and the ice cream is heavenly. I have a pint of mint chocolate chip from them in the refrigerator now. Just the thing to end off the evening.

Love this movie. Too bad the transfer wasn't good.

Finished with my viewing for the evening.
-
Night, all.
-
Good Evening!
Well... The major downpours they forecasted for today never really showed up - at least not when I was outside. Alas, it was that annoying kind of rain coupled with some annoying wind, just enough to dampen whatever you were wearing, regardless of an umbrella.
But now I'm back in my apartment, cozy and dry.
-
I adore Barbara Cook's "Vanilla Ice Cream." I also liked Judy Kuhn's.
Of course, it was just called "Ice Cream" when Barbara sang it. At least, that's what the cast album and Playbill called it.
Hmmmm... But in the score - the original and the revival versions - it's titled "Vanilla Ice Cream". Hmmm... As well as the "single" sheet music.
But on the OCR and the Revival CR, it's listed as "Ice Cream". Hmmm... *As well as on "Barbara Cook Sings Mostly Sondheim". Hmmm...
-
My first conscious memory of ice cream is vanilla, which they gave me when I had my tonsils out. I probably had some before then, but that's my first actual memory.
Favorite all-time ice cream - the frozen vanilla custard stand at the old Ocean Park pier - if that counts as ice cream.
Next time you're in NY Jose, remember the ice cream bars at MILK!
But I am in NY, DR edisaurus.
-Understood. ;)
-
And now...
I need to do a bit more investigating and preparing for my for my friend's birthday dinner. 50th Birthday Dinner. I actually went ahead and polled some "foodies" on Twitter - Frank Bruni, Robert Sietsema, Ruth Reichl, etc. - and, lo and behold, a bunch of them responded with their favorite birthday restaurants, so... I have a feeling we may be doing a "crawl" - in the rain, alas - and sampling various dishes from various restaurants tonight.
Laters...
That sounds like fun. Report the goods afterwards.
Or... We could end up in the fantastic East Side apartment of a childhood friend of his whom he happened to run into this afternoon who went ahead and hosted an impromptu dinner/birthday party for him. Mesclun salad, roast leg of lamb, couscous, a pear and pistachio tart, two bottles of Bordeaux and a Guatemalan brandy. Parfait!
-
Scary news department: Portland Police have just notified a bunch of downtown offices that there is going to be a huge protest this afternoon with predicted property damage (!!), and that all workers are urged to vacate downtown before 4 p.m. So Betsy is on her way home. I'm assuming this is in response to all the police shootings here of late, which have been front page news.
DR JMK - I hope Betsy made it home safe and sound, and that nothing "went down" downtown.
-
So, is the Ricky Martin news a surprise to anyone?
Nope. Not at all. Not by a long shot.
::)
-
So, why is it news?
Because he's been rumored to be gay for years and constantly denied it? Suddenly he outs himself; it's either for publicity or something else is brewing. It was rather obvious he was gay when he lived in this building while he was doing LES MIZ many years ago. There were several rumors floating around about an epic musical's casting back in the 90s, so that was another clue.
Ricky Martin was in Les Miserables during the second half of 1996. He started during the summer, and I think he was with the show for about six months. My friend, Tamra, played Cosette opposite his Marius.
-
The Reuters story says he's writing his memoir, so it is about publicity.
Well, I guess it could be for publicity, but maybe he really just finally wanted to come out. I know that he's been spending most of his time home in Puerto Rico - my ex-sister-in-law happens to live near his "compound". Besides starting to write his memoirs, the timing of his announcement probably coincides with coming out to his family and preparing them for the inevitable rush of "spotlight" that will undoubtedly follow his "official" outing. -And I'm pretty sure his family's Catholicism came into play too.
-
My aunt also makes something which i love, called tsimis. It is carrots, dumplings, short ribs and chicken (and other things) mixed in a delicious sauce. I only get it once a year. But it is so good!
Hmmmm, tzimmes (or, if you prefer, tsimmis)... YUM! I thought it was more traditionally served at Rosh Hashanah? In any case... I remember coming across a recipe in "Gourmet" when I was in college, and I would prepare it quite regularly. Hmmm...
-
My therapist is very nice & I didn't realize how cute until he cut his hair. He asked me today if his tied back pony tail was more professional looking than his new look. I didn't think the pony tail was "professional" looking but asked if he was comparing it to the model look. :) He really does look like a model now. He beamed at my model reference.
DR Jane - Does your cellphone have a camera? ;)
-
Hmmm... I may have to break out my mother's recipe for haroset tomorrow. -Yes, my mother's recipe. -I think it was from "Better Homes & Gardens", and she would prepare it for the seder dinners that my Catholic grade school would have every year.
-
DR Ginny - Glad to hear that you and your respective family members made it safe and sound to their respective lodgings for the evening.
-
How old is Ricky Martin, and he's "almost through his memoirs?"
-
Random line from something should be: "Memoirs? You're too young to have memoirs! Let's call it a diary."
-
How old is Ricky Martin, and he's "almost through his memoirs?"
He's 38.
Well, if almost every other "American Idol" contestant can write a memoir and/or biography while still in their late teens or early 20's, well....

*Although, I believe Ricky is still with the same guy he was with when he was in Les Miz. -Guess we'll be reading all about him/it soon enough.

This is odd, but he looks a little like Sinbad (the comedian) in that photo. At least an in-shape version of sinbad.
