Title: CHICKEN AND WAFFLES
Post by: bk on October 17, 2011, 12:24:30 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes had both chicken AND waffles, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently eating some chicken and waffles, which they are finding MOOvelous.

Post by: Doug R on October 17, 2011, 02:03:46 AM: I received the Blu-ray of Citizen Kane today, in a nice big box with extra goodies. It's a film which I admire rather than unreservedly enjoy but as one of the all-time classics I feel it has to be in my collection.

Fried Chicken: I've had good and bad and the near great. Never though KFC and Church's chicken were good. Never bad. Currently I enjoy Publix (Local food chain) own Fried Chicken.

Waffles: Never go out of my way to get these. I may have had them three time in the past decade or so.

Hot Dogs: I rather think Costco has great Hot Dogs. There is a small hot dog place that serves Chicago Style. But I don't want to travel 25 miles to eat one.

Post by: elmore3003 on October 17, 2011, 04:25:08 AM: Good morning, all! Another night of peculiar dreams involving a Barns & Noble-like book store and then teaching the staff how to pour wine at a posh restaurant, I vaguely recall traveling as well.

DR Ben, I appreciated your posting the Amazon.com info several days ago. When I get to their Kindle page I go into a coma. I believe that I have successfully registered the damned thing, but I have no idea how to proceed. I really think I'd just as soon open a book than deal with all of this unnecessary madness.

No word at all from JoAnn yesterday, so that's got me a bit concerned.

On the work front, the Encores! Gala work is fnished unless something else turns up this morning or tomorrow, the score for THE RED MILL has a complete bar count and I have to begin work on ROBERTA. I've also got three charts to write for the Appalachian Christmas rehearsals by Oct 31; I think we now have a cast for Hilton Head.

Title: Re: CHICKEN AND WAFFLES
Post by: Ginny on October 17, 2011, 05:44:56 AM: Montag afternoon greetings from the MS Amalyra! Richard and I had a delightful train trip yesterday from Paris to Nuremberg (via Frankfurt), taxied right to our boat, and were all settled in by dinner time. We set sail at 9pm last night on the Main/Danube Canal and docked this morning in Bamberg. We had a brisk (cold) walking tour of the historic city center that concluded with soft pretzels and the famous "smoke" beer. Our cruise resumed during lunch and we've just left the canal and are now on the Main River, headed for our next port - Wurzberg.

No chicken and waffles for me today..

Travel vibes for DR GINNY and RICHARD.....and PRISCILLA vibes for DR KEVIN H.

Glad to hear that DR JOSE has the "Boys" in his fingers.

Title: Re: CHICKEN AND WAFFLES
Post by: Charles Pogue on October 17, 2011, 06:21:16 AM: TOD: Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles is pretty delicious, but the one I really loved was Amber's Broasted Chicken. Do they still exist out there anywhere, BK? Here is in Kentuck, we have place called Richie's Fried Chicken which is damned good, very big, plump, juicy breast. As for hot dogs, I love my Coney Islands with Cincinnati Chili and grated cheese on them (and onions and mustard). The two main chains Gold Star and Skyline are both fine, but my favourite is Dixie Chili in Newport, Kentucky, the other side of the Ohio from downtown Cincinnati.

Post by: JoseSPiano on October 17, 2011, 07:22:56 AM: *I've actually been on a juice fast the past three days. I just needed something to reset my system after dealing with the kidney stones. I, apparently, had also strained some intercostal muscles somewhere along the line, so that was just another reason to get my insides in order. And now they are. And I should be easing back into my normal eating routine by the time I land in Chicago on Wednesday morning! ::)

Post by: JoseSPiano on October 17, 2011, 07:23:57 AM: Funny thing about my intercostal muscle strain: That was the same injury that sidelined a couple of cast member of Oklahoma!. -And I wasn't even doing the choreography!?!? ???
Title: Re: CHICKEN AND WAFFLES
Post by: JoseSPiano on October 17, 2011, 07:31:25 AM: As for the Topic of the Day:

Fried Chicken: Gus's Fried Chicken in Memphis, TN; Skip Kennon's Fried Chicken in NYC.

Waffles: I like waffles, but don't love them. Even though I know I've had some good ones, nothing specific comes to mind right now.

Hot Dogs: The "Shack-ago" Dog at Shake Shack (http://shakeshack.com/) here in NYC; the "real" Chicago dogs at Portillo's (http://www.portillos.com/portillos/) and/or The Weiner's Circle (http://www.wienercircle.net/) in Chicago; the deep-fried(!) hot dog at Crif Dogs (http://www.crifdogs.com/) here in NYC.
Title: Re: CHICKEN AND WAFFLES
Post by: JoseSPiano on October 17, 2011, 07:34:32 AM: However...

As much as I like Roscoe's, I really like the Chicken and Waffles combo at Buttermilk Channel (http://www.buttermilkchannelnyc.com/) in Brooklyn. Cheddar Waffles!!!!

Title: Re: CHICKEN AND WAFFLES
Post by: John G. on October 17, 2011, 07:36:30 AM: Best fried chicken: The time a friend and I fried it in lard.

Best waffles: Another homemade experience in which we made chicken and waffles with plenty of hot sauce to balance the sweet of the syrup on top of crispy chicken and crispy waffles with warm, melting center.

Best hot dog: I had a kobe beef dog recently that was quite good. (That I didn't make.)

I'm looking forward to seeing Terrence Malick's Tree of Life. I loved The Thin Red Line, didn't like The New World, thought Badlands OK and Days of Heaven bored me. So my reaction to his films is very variable.
I'm along similar line. Loved "Thin Red Line," hated "New World." But I also loved "Badlands" and found "Days of Heaven" beautiful but cold, and I saw the latter at a time when I was really young and didn't know how to respond to cold movies.
Title: Re: CHICKEN AND WAFFLES
Post by: JoseSPiano on October 17, 2011, 07:40:12 AM: Oh, wait...

Back to Waffles for a second...

I really do like the ones from the Wafels & Dinges (http://wafelsanddinges.com/index.html) trucks and carts here in NYC. Not only do they have dessert varieties, but they also have a maple-bacon one - with bits of bacon in the batter! - as well as one topped with pulled pork BBQ. True fusion cuisine! ;)

I think it was released in early Spring, although I may be mistaken.

Ummmm...where have you been the past 5 or 6 years, DR Jose? This is "normal". The final "Harry Potter" movie will be out the first (or second) week in November...and it was released in...what...June?

Best Chicken: My mother's. Every time. Not even a contest with any other chicken I've ever eaten. There was one other that was in a league of its own, although I cannot recall where I was when I ate it. It was coated in corn flakes, of all things, and it was quite tasty.

Best waffle: I am not a connoisseur by any means, but I loved the pecan waffle I'd occasionally order at The Waffle House on Pendleton Pike in Lawrence, Indiana. Otherwise, I'm a "Belgian waffle" fan, and I've only eaten frozen ones.

Post by: Jane on October 17, 2011, 09:25:33 AM: I can't imagine eating chicken & waffles together. I have two best waffles. The first was a Belgian waffle at the Mendocino Hotel. If I weren't so full I might have ordered a second one.

We had a four hour layover at the Amsterdam airport and decided to hop the train into the city leaving our carry-on luggage in a locker. We purchased some fresh waffles & other goodies to take back to the plane with us. Oh my the waffles were delicious.

I don't know if the lockers still exist since 911 & suspect you have to go through security on the return trip from the city. That was the best layover I have ever had at an airport. The international area is one big gourmet shopping area which we allowed time to explore after our quick trip into the city/tourist area.

Back from the four-mile jog and really want that slaw dog, but I think I'll be content with tuna sandwiches today. But I REALLY want that slaw dog.
Slaw dog. Reminds me of the Varsity in Atlanta. Also a great city for chicken and waffles. I need think of something else.

I received the Blu-ray of Citizen Kane today, in a nice big box with extra goodies. It's a film which I admire rather than unreservedly enjoy but as one of the all-time classics I feel it has to be in my collection.

I have it on excellent authority ::) that NO ONE cares as much about CITIZEN KANE as they do about SCARFACE. At least according to the interwebs. ;)

Original or remake?

Didn't the Academy forbid privately done screeners for members, or am I imagining that? I'm thinking that may have at least something to do with the quick turnaround of product these days, especially as we approach nominating season.

I'm thinking you're correct on this. It was a big deal when it was discovered these screeners were being used by pirates to bootleg copies.

Damn it--to think I used up my once annual being correct comment on something like this. ;D

It doeswn't matter since no one reads your posts anyway.

I decided small paper backs are not comfortable to read so I passed up a book at Costco the other day. I'm trying to find out if the book is available as an eBook but so far can't. While I was picking up my book on hold at the library I glanced at the "hot new books" section & saw the book I didn't purchase & grabbed it. I checked & our library doesn't have ot on eBook & there are 24 people waiting for the hard cover I just brought home.

I'm along similar line. Loved "Thin Red Line," hated "New World." But I also loved "Badlands" and found "Days of Heaven" beautiful but cold, and I saw the latter at a time when I was really young and didn't know how to respond to cold movies.

I'm just sort of surprises that "The Tree of Life" is already on DVD. Wasn't it just in the theatres this past summer, a few months ago?

I'll be interested in knowing what you think, the only person I know here who saw it, didn't like it at all. But it really could have just been him, lol

I'll be returning THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BRIDGE, by Mary Lawson, which I think could be considered a young adult book. I'm curious if you would agree.

Did you read all the other books in the D.D Warren series? If you like her ( i do) then you can reserve the next book now. It's called CATCH ME and comes out early in 2012. Love her!

There were all old people swimming very slowly in the fast lane. Apparently all the fast people have not been swimming for a while.

I sort of wish the lifeguards would enforce the lanes.

It wasn't too bad.I can mostly work with anybody in my lane as long as they don't annoy me. The thing that annoys me the most is if a really slow person is stopped at the end and only starts going right as i am reaching the end. I hate when people do this!

Ummmm...where have you been the past 5 or 6 years, DR Jose? This is "normal". The final "Harry Potter" movie will be out the first (or second) week in November...and it was released in...what...June?

:D

DR Ron Pulliam - I know that the time span between the theatrical release of a movie and it's Blu-Ray/DVD release has been greatly truncated over the past couple of years, but... I was thinking that "Tree of Life" came out in August. -As it turns out, it came out at the end of May.

DR Jane - Yes, I believe everything has passed. I hope. I still get a twinge of back pain every now and then, but it's been nice waking up over the past few days and not feeling like my whole pelvic region... well, not feeling my pelvic region.

I can't imagine eating chicken & waffles together. I have two best waffles. The first was a Belgian waffle at the Mendocino Hotel. If I weren't so full I might have ordered a second one.

A waffles is just another form of bread. You can eat fried chicken with slices of white bread, biscuits, crackers, etc. Why not a waffle? -I do know some people who keep the waffle and chicken separated when they eat "chicken and waffles".

The place I went to last week in Brooklyn, Waffle & Wolf, serves all of their sandwiches in freshly made waffles. It works quite well. It's like a waffle-taco or waffle-pita sandwich.

I'm back from the McGlinnventory and Encores! I've got some tidying and vacuuming before our DR Jose shows up.

Great seeing you earlier today, DR elmore. I'm sorry I couldn't provide more "immediate" help while I was there getting your Kindle set up.

Back from the four-mile jog and really want that slaw dog, but I think I'll be content with tuna sandwiches today. But I REALLY want that slaw dog.
Slaw dog. Reminds me of the Varsity in Atlanta. Also a great city for chicken and waffles. I need to think of something else.

The Kindle has two books on it now. All is good.

DR elmore - Did you end up heading down to Starbucks after all? -Or are you actually able to download books from the internet/your computer via the USB cable?

DR George next time you visit your cousin take a good air mattress with you.

That's a good idea, Jane...I even thought about bringing my own pillow (after the first night that I slept there). :)

DR George - One of the best pieces of advice I ever got when I was going more touring was to bring my own pillows. Even if the hotel bed you happen to have that night/week is not that comfortable, your own pillow really can help you get a better night's sleep.

When you send a Twitter message, what does the little lock symbol mean?

The "little lock" means that you have protected your tweets, that only people you have approved to Follow you can see your tweets.

*You can un-protect and re-protect your tweets anytime. So, if you want to live life on the wild side for a day or two... -And see how many spam Followers you get. There seem to be lots of young women in Russia tweeting about the new iPhone lately. ::)

A woman who was in my Sunday school class a few years' ago went into the hospital for what everyone considered to be routine jaw surgery. Well, something happened and she ended up in ICU and now it appears that she's not going to make it. They're talking about having to remove life support.

I really enjoyed Joan in class. I was teaching Judges then, which is all about sex, drugs and violence. Very nihilistic stuff and most people don't know just how bleak the book is. She had read the book before but she had never bothered to stop and think about the gore, mutilation and misery. And she surprised herself by finding some glimmer of humor in all that blood.
