And the word of the day is: SLAKE!
Tonight of course The World Series is on - and opposite that - Cecil B DeMille's THE TEN COMMANDMENTS....so there is something for everyone on television tonight.
And hopefully also COPS!
The entire movie of GREEN MANSIONS is a total misfire. It may very well be Audrey's worst movie during her "star years."
I did like the way I looked i my first custom fitted tux when I was nominated for that theater award (1982, I think it was). I have no pictures but I was very pleased with the way I looked.

Not the World Series. Wrong sport. The NCAA Basketball Semifinals are on CBS tonight.

Think everyone might be making Marshmallow Peeps Cupcakes this year? For a more elaborate celebration, try your hand at the Easter Turducken. This bad Larry requires you to stuff a Cadbury Creme Egg into the business end of a Peep. This unholy union is then put inside one of those crappy, hollow milk chocolate bunnies. This is really something you should (and easily can) do.
As with traditional turducken, Easter turducken starts from the inside out. The core is formed with miniature Cadbury cream eggs:
Take an ordinary peep and make a large slit in the bottom, as deep as possible without going all the way through:
Stuff an egg into the slit, stretch the sides around it, and fold the peep’s tail down. Repeat with a few more peeps.

The outer layer finally makes good use of one of the more odious culinary travesties, the irritating hollow bunny. As a kid, nothing was more annoying that thinking you’d been given a huge block of chocolate, and it turns out to be empty. To get the egg-stuffed peep goodness into this abomination, first you must open the bottom. Anything worth doing is worth doing with power tools, so take a dremel and cut around the perimeter of the bottom:
Once the hole is made, stuff the now egg-bloated peeps into the bunny. Note that some hollow bunnies suck even more than others, and crack and fall apart really easily, so be careful. Once you’re done, put the bottom back on. The really ambitious might try re-melting the seam in the bottom closed with a crème brûlée torch.

Voilà, the loathsome hollow bunny is transformed into several thousand calories, as God intended. Many children wonder around Easter how it is that bunnies lay eggs. As a side benefit, Easter turducken illustrates clearly that this “theory” is wrong. Obviously bunnies lay chickens, which then lay the eggs. Mystery solved.
Now fully prepared, the Easter turducken can be eaten. There is probably some kind of psychological test about what part of the bunny you eat first. I always go for the neck. Since it is held together only by a cheap-ass hollow bunny, once you start eating your turducken, it will collapse rapidly. Be prepared for a mess.

Yes, DR Jane, he's been pretty uptight all week, but seemed more nervous last night than tonight. They both went fine and now he'll never have to do them for the first time again.
DerBrucer, I hope you won't be eating any part of that disgusting combination ;D
Greetings from Toyland! I am listening to GREENWILLOW.Saw a wonderful production of "Greenwillow" staged in a dinner theater in Sarasota, Fla., about 12-14 years or so ago. Walter Willison, I think, had rewritten the book and jiggered a few songs around. The production was lovely. Wish somebody else would do it again.
That is all.
Betsy's doing much better, Jane, thanks for asking. Her parents halved the number of pills. What bugged me is they just made a unilateral decision without asking Betsy, and it's not what the doctor prescribed. It's a passive aggressive control issue thing, something they're experts at. :)
........we will begin with the assembly of act two
I always need major attention when I get home.

TOD: I don't know that I've ever looked my best, so we can scratch that half of the discussion in short order. I think the worst or weirdest was in a high school skit that we did in which the guys were barmaids and the girls were the cowboys. I wore some handmade horror in shiny blue material with drag queen-painted eyes, sat on top of a make-shift piano and croaked out "Most Ladies Don't Like Love." It wasn't pretty.
Yes DR TCB - but I NEVER get it - the attention I need that is.
Continued vibes for BETSY.

If you have never looked your best, how can you tell when you have looked your worst?
I heard a few of those stories coming out of the Sarasota production. Too bad. The show can be as sweet and warm as the score. Think plenty of community theaters would love doing it.Greetings from Toyland!

I worked on the adaptation by Walter Willison for the Utah Festival Opera which was truly magical, and it was the opera broadcast I was listening to, but the adaptation is mo longer available and that's a lot of gossip in itself! Big can of worms.

Goodness! - You've been "going commando" for over three months?

We had a delightful trip to Deshler, OH, and a fun visit with our niece Rev. Amy and her family. Had to get back in time to see the basketball games - Go, Spartans! - and later we will order pizza.

I always found the day between Good Friday and Easter to be a strange day. You were through with the crucifixion, but you weren't quite ready to celebrate the Resurrection. A non-entity stuck into Holy Week.
DR Cillaliz - hope you like AVENUE Q. Richard and I saw it in NYC right after they announced it was closing. It's now moved to an off-Broadway space and I'd go see it again in a minute.

Sorry, Ginny, I have to go for the underdogs (get it bull-dogs)

That's OK, DR TCB. I really don't care who wins this tournament. Mary Linda's from a very loyal Michigan State family (both parents went there), so we're rooting for them now. But I do have some fondness for Butler, because my mother is from Indianapolis and Richard and I spent a great Sunday there with DRs Jose and JRand for Mamma Mia. And then there's WVU - my uncle taught in the med school there and we visited Morgantown many times. My cousin Dan and I had a great time at a Mountaineer football game 30+ years ago.
Well, here in Lima, the girls are glued to the TV and the boys have gone to pick up the pizza.

And where do you get pizza in Lima?
Matt H., thanks for your concerns about whether I would be healthy enough to do the role in SLEUTH. Actually, I think that I am up to doing the show. I have played the role of Andrew three different times, and with three different Milos. I have always felt that it was a role written for me. I would truly love to do it one more time before I am done.

Fat Jack's (http://www.fatjackspizza.com/about.php3) was recommended to us by someone at church. We're trying it for the first time tonight.

I'm glad to read this as I also was concerned.
I have become addicted to the series BONES in reruns on TNT. I think I will watch some of Season One on DVD tonight.
I guess TCB's team won.
DR Elmore - re your cousin. My sister had, for a different reason, a similar quandary last year. We both eventually accepted the request because life is short and cousins (for us, anyway) are scarce.
I lost my shoes. I think the dog got 'em.
DR elmore, with that much anger I can see why you will wait to contact her. I think you really want to yell at her mother, not at your cousin.

But also, what interest have I in a person I do not know and haven't seen in 50 years?
I am quoting from "Bonnie & Clyde", DR JANE.
Awesome movie on TCM right now.
Saw it a couple of times on a drive in double bill with UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE.....loved both movies....went back 3 nights in a row to see them both. ;D

Nice high school reunion story DR TCB.
DR MATTH - I missed it,what season of Perry Mason is it that you are watching?
Matt, you mentioned Parley Baer earlier. Parley was from SLC, a very well known LDS family, in fact. Parley was actually a family name and Parley's Canyon was right by the first house I lived in as a small child in SLC.
BUt so does Easter:...as she insisted the movie "glorified violence." Can you imagine? :)
DR Cilla, I'm enjoying reading about your house & the people who have lived in it. :)
Most interesting DR CILLA LIZ!
When I sold Mom's house, I left the new owner a short history of the house. I wonder if he left it for the next guy when he sold it?
My house was bought and sold so many times before we moved in. The neighbors said that no one ever stayed more than a couple of years at a time.

I really enjoyed Avenue Q tonight. It was very funny. I can't believe I never wanted to see it in New York
