And the word of the day is: ADMIX!
Belated Happy Day to Vixmom and Dad
And Also to Skip and Fred from last week (if I recall correctly).
Work has been the usual hectic place it always is in late October.
I forget things.
Thank you, all, for the vibes on Joan's behalf.
And the word of the day is: ADMIX!
DR JMK - I found a copy of Hollywood Party at the Goodwill store yesterday for $2.49. I read the "Frances" pages......interesting although mostly a rehash of previously published material....
It almost seems as if the author subscribes to the Edith theory that the Party spent a lot of time harassing Frances.....which is probably true.
DR Ron Pulliam - I love me some Pommes Anna too! I usually use thyme as my herb of choice, however, if I have some really good potatoes and some really good butter, the only seasoning I'll add is sea salt.With some duck fat added.
As for procuring a cocotte ā pommes Anna: e-Bay.
A questions for the foodies:Spread some goat cheese on toast and put a little pesto in the center. That's easy.
Dear Foodies,
I am going to make appetizers. I have basil so I can make some pesto. What could I use the pesto for?
I had to put my cat, Annie, down this morning.My sympathies.

DR Cillaliz, re: the slow swimmers who wait till I get to the end to start.
I don't think they are doing it to slow me down. I didn't mean to imply that. It just bugs me when people don't have common sense. There are sometimes faster swimmers than me and I always let them pass me before I start. It's just common courtesy. I think that maybe the slower swimmers just think that they should go first since they got there first. And they probably don't realize that they will be holding me up. Heck, some of them might not even be able to see well enough to know they are in the fast lane.
DR Jane, can you only reserve a library book once it's in the system? Can you suggest books?
Now that I am out and about I find it's not as cold as I thought but it is exceptionally windy. I'm now on the commuter boat on the River Thames which is a quick and easy way for me to get downtown.
In the meantime...

I just received a call that my washer & dryer will be delivered this afternoon. I hope I'm happy with them.
Twice this morning I have found posts in positions "other than" the position they had occupied on a previous visit. DR Laura's "Thanks John" post at the bottom of page 2 was once the first post on page 3, for instance.
Someone is red-acting.
Speaking of tempered glass, I was driving home from a gig the other night when the most appalling "thwack" hit my car. I thought someone might have shot at me, so loud it was (what am I, Yoda all of a sudden?). Checked the car thoroughly when I got home, not a sign of damage. Well, waddaya know--two days later a spider web of cracks is appearing on my windshield.

Please refer to JR and my posts regarding Frances and the Communists.
I know there are teeming masses waiting with baited breath for my reviews of LADY DEATH and MAHLER'S RESURRECTION SYMPHONY (a rather ironic pairing, now that I think about it).
today is Vixdad & My 24th wedding anniversary - he bought me a beautiful necklace with three little butterflies on it and surprised me at the office with roses and my favorite thai chicken pizza from California pizza and then tonight we went out to Gashos for hibachi ---- it was wonderful!
Freak story from church. 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.

I'm just a country boy at heart. I like my potatoes mashed, home fries (cooked on a skillet with onions and peppers) and french fried
DR GEORGE what part or parts are you playing in THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES?
I must have missed that post.

I just had lunch with Kevin. He's in town to see some theatre before he heads out to Chicago for the weekend.
We (Kevin, Anthony, me and two friends of Kevin) went to Good Stuff Diner and had a great time.
Back to the Santa Barbara Foundation.
Here is what is should look like when completed:

Found a new-in-box 8" Mauviel copper cocotte a pommes Anna.....at half the price of the other listings at other sites. Merry Christmas, Ron.

Dear Foodies,
I am going to make appetizers. I have basil so I can make some pesto. What could I use the pesto for?
You could layer a slice of baguette with a slice of tomato, a slice of mozzarella and top with pesto.
Pesto on slices of pork tenderloin served at room temperature.
Pesto on those handmade potato chips Jose was writing about.
My new desk arrived yesterday and will be assembled by professionals on Thursday.
DR JMK - And by "professionals", do you mean "Betsy"? Or "Gabe and Zach"?
;D
Thank you DR's Ron & George. I expect the delivery any minute now.

Zach and I have actually assembled quite a bit of the furniture in our house, but this one I contracted out. :)
Thank you DR's Ron & George. I expect the delivery any minute now.
Jane, I will volunteer some of my laundry for you to test your new machines.

Yikes! I've had my car for about 13 1/2 years, and there's been a crack in the windshield for almost 10 of those years. ::) It's not in my line of sight, so I just haven't had anything done about it...and I won't until I need to.
it is beginning to look like my NYC trip in April is just not going to happen.
Did the four-mile jog, ate some lunch, did some banking, picked up some packages and have had a telephonic conversation that, in principal, means we have a deal for Kritzerland to issue a major cast album from a new musical - not a hit, unfortunately, and already closed, but a nice score by people I really like. So, if the word of its composer, who paid for the recording, is anything to go by - "We have a deal." We're meeting on Monday to iron out all the salient points - if it's all a go, I think we'll get it out in about six to eight weeks time. They had a booklet designed at a cost of 6K that they asked if I would pick up the cost for. I told them they could keep it as a nice souvenir, since I don't pay anywhere near that figure - ANYWHERE near, and we do really nice booklets. This will be a long one, as they want the lyrics in, but 6K - people are a little insane, but if they find people who don't know better this is what happens. From what I'm being told about the album production, I probably could have saved them anywhere from 50 to 100K had I done it from the get-go. While the mix is not that pleasing to me, we'll try to help it in the mastering, but knowing what the producer was paid, it's a little shocking what he delivered.

On top of that I have a $500 car repair bill...something about wing nuts and combers or something, I don't know. It had happened to one wheel a few years back, and now is happening to the other wheel. Hyuandai can't figure out why it is happening, especially since I have so few miles on my car and I don't drive over rough roads.
I have been back from vacation since Friday night, but because my computer seems to be dying I have not been able to get onto HHW...it just doesn't want to load it, along with several other sights. IMDB takes FOREVER to load. I don't know what has happened to my machine, but it looks like it is time to get a new one.

DR MBarnum - Are you sure it's your computer? If it's mainly the internet you're having issues with, it could be an issue with your internet/cable set-up, provider. Have you tried resetting your internet connection by disconnecting all the cables for a couple of minutes, and then re-connecting everything and starting back up? Also call your cable/internet company to see if they can do a line test.
As for your car problem, have you checked for any possible involuntary recalls?
As for the Topic of the Day...
The Carlyle (Grand Cafe) in Arlington, VA, used to have an appetizer of house-made potato chips drizzled with pesto and bleu cheese. It was soooooo good. The garlic and the basil in the pesto really helped to cut through and balance the fattiness of the cheese and the fried potato chips. And you had to eat the whole bowl as soon as they were placed on your table, because once they cooled down they weren't quite so yummilicious.
The Carlyle also used to offer a side of "garlic-potato cake", but it was actually more like a slice of a potato gratin casserole. Shredded potatoes mixed with a garlic cream, then baked until crispy on the top and bottom while still creamy in the middle. Now they serve mashed cauliflower. ::)
My guilty pleasure potato dish: A double order of The Hash Browns at Waffle House All The Way! Scattered (on the grill), Smothered (onions), Covered (cheese), Chunked (diced ham), Diced (grilled tomatoes), Peppered (jalapeņo peppers), Capped (mushrooms), Topped ("Bert's Chili") and Country (sausage gravy)! -Usually the only meal I have to have all day.

I'm a little nervous about that tempered glass top, but time will tell.
Bruce congrats on the new deal!
THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM......
If any DRs get The Antenna Network on their cable system (Comcast has it), they are now showing THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM as well as BACHELOR FATHER, FATHER KNOWS BEST, and ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS. I am not sure when these were added to the line-up, but I only noticed it this week.
two Jack Benny episodes air each day, and it has become my dinner hour viewing each night!
So between the dying computer and the messed up car I am gonna be out at least $1000, plus the money I am sending to the actress friend to help her get through the month...it is beginning to look like my NYC trip in April is just not going to happen.
Bruce congrats on the new deal!
And now he has something in common with FDR!

I've been thinking of getting a Hyundai - now you've got me worried.
Dear TCB, I am going to be making some of that onion soup mix dip you were talking about recently for our little get-together tomorrow night.
BK really likes Frank Wildhorn?
That is a joke, unbunch any panties, yes I know the OCR is already out. Thank you.
I Don't Get It #1
I received a coupon for $5.00 off Pirates Of The Carribean: On Strange Tides.
BUT..........
You have to buy the 5 Disc version!! You get the Blu Ray, DVD, 3D Version, and the Digital upload and one other disc that I'm not sure what it is.
I don't get the concept of Combo packs
I really only need the Blu Ruy.

My crack was right in front of my vision & kept making me nervous. I have friends who have had a crack for years. If JMK & I had noticed where the window was hit & taken it directly to the glass repair they could have stopped it from spreading.
I can see my clothes washing and how little water the energy efficient machines use. I'm testing the machine with a small load of dishtowels. They make pretty patterns as they spin around. Craig set the first load up & watched with me.
Dear TCB, I am going to be making some of that onion soup mix dip you were talking about recently for our little get-together tomorrow night.
Great! I am sure you will all enjoy it. I am thinking that I need to make some more for the World Series starting tomorrow.
It is also fortunate that I didn't ignore the noises, otherwise my wheel might have removed itself from my car at some inopportune moment, such as while driving on the freeway.
Alas, I will still be out a bunch of dough....but to make myself feel better I just ordered four Bollywood DVDs.
The rumored casting for Fantine in the film version of the musical Les Miserables is no longer a rumor. Producer Cameron Mackintosh, in an interview on BBC Radio, said that Anne Hathaway will play the tragic matriarch who sings "I Dreamed a Dream."

I just had a visit from Will Parker! Our DR Jose stopped by with his friend Cody Williams for a brief visit, and I got to meet him and tell him how much I loved the video of him and the little girl performing "All Er Nothin'." I finally found Jose's birthday gift in the rubble of my apartment, so I was able to give him that as well. It's been a wonderful evening.

From comedy to a weepie. It's time for the last half fo "Camille," which I started a week or so ago and never finished. Somehow, the theme for the evening is TB, with Cher off to see "La Boheme" and Garbo coughing up a storm. I hope it's not catching.

...."I've been doing same-sex weddings since New York law permitted it in July," said Rev. Joshua Ellis, whose new career as a New York-based Interspiritual minister was preceded by many years as a theatrical press agent in New York City. "And something was missing. Nobody was singing 'Sunrise, Sunset.' It's sung all the time in weddings of mixed couples. I guessed it was because they talk about a little boy and a little girl. So I contacted [lyricist] Sheldon Harnick."
Ellis continued, "Within a few days, he wrote a note back. He'd contacted Richard Ticktin, who was best friend of Jerry Bock and his representative. Attached to that email were revised lyrics of the song." Ellis then gently asked Harnick if he could also write a set of lyrics for a female couple. Those arrived soon after.
....
As seen on revjosh.com, here are the newly revised lyrics:

ORIGINAL MUSIC AND LYRICS COPYRIGHT, 1964 JERRY BOCK AND SHELDON HARNICK
FOR MALE COUPLES:
Is this the little boy I carried?
Is that the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older.
When did they?
We did they get to be so handsome?
When did they grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
Sunrise, sunset,
Sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly flow the days.
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as we gaze.
Sunrise, sunset,
Sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly fly the years.
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears.
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
Now they must learn from one another
Day by day.
They look so natural together.
Just like two newlyweds should be.
Is there a canopy in store for me?
Sunrise, sunset,
Sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly fly the years.
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears.
FOR FEMALE COUPLES:
Is this the little girl I carried?
Is that the little girl at play?
I don't remember growing older.
When did they?
When did she get to be a beauty?
[Alternative: When did she get to be so handsome?]
When did they grow to be this tall?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
Sunrise, sunset,

My two Kritzerland CDs were received here at my work on Friday (the day that I left on vacation). I just realized that I must not have been one of the first 100 orders for the "Nudie" CD because it's not signed by BK. Not a problem...just probably the first time that that's happened.
I just finished listening to it and it's wonderful! It all sounds great! I love Grant's instrumental versions, especially the tango, "Lesbian, Butch, Dyke." I may have to learn some of the songs and entertain friends and enemies with them. :D

Of course you were one of the first hundred - I'm sure it was pilot error on the part of the helper. Are you sure there wasn't the extra booklet in the package - that's how the signed thing is sent - a separate booklet. Let me know - if not, we'll send you one, no worries.
Where is TCB tonight. And where is my slaw dog?
A nice desk is a must.
DR JANE congrats on the new appliances....
Thank you. The "sheets" setting seems to understand I have king size sheets.

I Don't Get It #2
My DVD of Lost Horizon was sent via UPS, but tracking today it said that it was transfered to the Post Office in West Palm.
Why would a package sent via UPS be transfered to a Post Office facility 25 miles from where I live?
Drat. But I can dream, can't I?
That's when I opened DR elmore's (belated) birthday gift to me...
I started to tear up as soon as I realized what it was...
Thank You, Larry!!!!
I WANT A SLAW DOG!!!
And Elmore, why isn't Encores doing "The Cradle Will Rock"? It's so perfect to go with Occupy Wall Street. I just finished the Patti LuPone cast recording and, man, would I love to see that done outdoors for the protestors with the actors walking out of the crowd the way that they walked out of the audience on that opening night ages ago. Instead of a piano, you could have a portable electronic keyboard.

Well, that was quite a tease.
Wow.
A nice desk is a must.
DR JANE congrats on the new appliances....
Thank you. The "sheets" setting seems to understand I have king size sheets.
Yep, those new-fangled washers have built in "scales" and sensors that can tell how many clothes you're putting in (by weight), as well as the heft of the fabric.
Kind of creepy if you ask me. ;)
I have a question for Ask BK Day. Let's see if I remember it tomorrow.
