Topic of the Day:  Lasagna.  My recipe is to use the recipe on the noodles package or the ricotta cheese container...and I do NOT use cottage cheese like my sister used to.  Then, I just double everything except the noodles. :)

I was also wondering about the camera.


DR KevinH and DRJane: I didn't use anything special. I usually use my Fuji FinePix F200 but I left the battery in the charger at home so I had to use my little Toshiba Camileo S30 camcorder, which also takes still pictures, although the pictures would have been better (especially at large size) if I'd been able to use the Fuji.

DR Doug R - thank you for the photos of your visit to Barcelona. My sister's genealogy research has recently revealed to us that we have a first cousin in Spain.
And I meant to tell you that my husband had a similar experience in Reims to the one you described the other day. Our first morning there he left our hotel in search of someplace to get a carry-out breakfast for us and got lost. He was not properly oriented when he left the hotel and he found that the streets change names from block to block. He finally stumbled onto a visitors' center near the cathedral and they gave him a handy dandy map. He made the same comment you did about the city being smaller than he thought.


DR Ginny: Yes, it's easy to get disorientated when arriving somewhere new and unfamiliar. One of worst times for me in getting lost was in Belgrade, Serbia where street signs are in the Cyrillic script and although I had a map, it wasn't much use because the map had street names in our familiar Latin alphabet :)

I've just received the UK Eureka 'Masters of Cinema' Blu-ray of TOUCH OF EVIL. I've always liked the film - long before it became newly "discovered". This set provides five variants of the film; the original version, the preview version and the 1998 reconstruction, in full frame and widescreen versions (the preview is only the widescreen version). It also has an excellent 56 page booklet. The highly detailed, heavily contrasted black and white photography looks wonderful. I like the reconstructed version apart from the fact that it omits Henry Mancini's title music, which I think does add a lot to the opening, even if it wasn't what Orson Welles intended.

A month or so ago I found that iTunes was not accepting CD album artwork when I copied and pasted it into the info box. I'd never had any problem doing that before. I asked iTunes support who emailed to say I should uninstall iTunes, install latest Windows updates and reinstall iTunes and that all my saved CDs would remain in place. I did all that and although I had concerns that all my CDs would end up being deleted, they were still there when I reinstalled. However, I still can't add new artwork. Looking at iTunes discussions forums it seems that quite a lot of people have the same problem but no-one seems to have a solution - niether apparently does iTunes.

As for the Topic of the Day:

Gnocchi - Well-made gnocchi are hard to find, but when I find them... :) And usually topped with a basic tomato or marinara sauce, or bolognese.
Gnocchi alla Romana - This is version made with semolina, formed into a roll, sliced and then baked or broiled. Oh, and there's lots of cheese in the dough. -With a nice ragu.
Gnocchi gnudi - Yeah, more pasta dumplings, but these are ricotta-based, and a lot of time they're also made with spinach. -With pesto or just butter and parmesan.

And I have to say that a big of bowl of spaghetti and meatballs still provides lots of "comfort".
Title: Re: I'M RUNNING AS FAST AS I CAN

bk - It sounds like you had "gemelli" pasta that was served with chicken, mushrooms, etc. *Gemelli is Italian for "twins" since the pasta looks like twin tubes of pasta twisted together (when, in reality) it's just one twisted piece of pasta.

Had a shooting incident just round the corner from me a couple of days ago. Someone in the street fired a gun at the window of a house. Police came around but no-one had been hurt.

I think my sense of direction is really l getting worse as I get older. I had a heck of a time remembering the way back to the parking lot that we had parked at, which was some blocks away from the theatre. However, Ben and Taylor (5 and 10 years old, respectively) were able to locate it without any trouble.

Of course, finding the theatre in the beginning was also a chore. I kept thinking it was on Salmon St, when it was actually on Broadway.

Benny suggested that I had thought it was on Salmon Street because I was hungry for some salmon.  :D

I find the same thing. I never used to have trouble remembering where I left the car but now I keep having to search for it. There's a wonderful system in one of the new malls near me where you simply enter your licence plate number onto an electronic display and it shows you where your car is. That only works of course if you can remember your licence plate number  :)

I was thinking about ordering the Blu-ray/DVD combo from England because I at least have a region code-free DVD player, but Amazon.co.uk says that it's Region B/2.  I don't know if it's just a general thing that they put on their listings or if it really does have a region code.  Anyway, I'm ordering it.  If nothing else, I can play the DVD. :D

England:  today, November 14 (for only £8.99...or approximately $14.30)
USA:  February 2, 2012 (for $26.99)

Phantom of the Opera at The Royal Albert Hall Blu-Ray and/or DVD:
England:  today, November 14
USA:  not yet determined (but it's at least possible to pre-order it)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2:
USA:  November 11
England:  December 2!

Torchwood: Miracle Day (season 4):
England:  today, November 14
USA:  "Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available" :P

Just ordered the 25th Anniversary Edition CD and DVD/Blu-ray of Phantom of the Opera from amazon.co.uk.    They were released today in the UK, but won't be released here until February!  The article on broadwayworld.com said that the blu-ray was region free. I hope that's correct!

I was thinking about ordering the Blu-ray/DVD combo from England because I at least have a region code-free DVD player, but Amazon.co.uk says that it's Region B/2.  I don't know if it's just a general thing that they put on their listings or if it really does have a region code.  Anyway, I'm ordering it.  If nothing else, I can play the DVD. :D

Blu-ray forum says it's region free and I'm sure they are right. Amazon simply give the code of the country it's issued in.

We have strong thunderstorm warnings in our area until about 8:15 this evening.  There are some tornado warnings for areas north of us.

We are under a tornado watch until 9pm, which is why I've decided to stay home instead of running errands.  If the sirens go off, I want to be near our basement!

I believe a new episode of "Outside the Box" will be "released" every two weeks. Thus making it a bi-weekly series.

A month or so ago I found that iTunes was not accepting CD album artwork when I copied and pasted it into the info box. I'd never had any problem doing that before. I asked iTunes support who emailed to say I should uninstall iTunes, install latest Windows updates and reinstall iTunes and that all my saved CDs would remain in place. I did all that and although I had concerns that all my CDs would end up being deleted, they were still there when I reinstalled. However, I still can't add new artwork. Looking at iTunes discussions forums it seems that quite a lot of people have the same problem but no-one seems to have a solution - niether apparently does iTunes.

DR Doug R - Is the issue only a problem on the PC version of iTunes? I haven't noticed any issues with my Mac (version), however... I do get tired of the "No Artwork Found" message even after I have added my own artwork.

Sorry I can't be of more help right now.

How can one tell if Yogurt has gone bad.  I bought a couple of containers the other day at the store, but I didn't notice that they were still in the bag rather than the refrigerator for about six hours.  Considering all of the problems I have been having with my bladder and other things, I really would rather not eat something that might make me sick.  But I hate to throw away edible food if I don't have to do so.

DR KevinH and DRJane: I didn't use anything special. I usually use my Fuji FinePix F200 but I left the battery in the charger at home so I had to use my little Toshiba Camileo S30 camcorder, which also takes still pictures, although the pictures would have been better (especially at large size) if I'd been able to use the Fuji.

I think my sense of direction is really l getting worse as I get older. I had a heck of a time remembering the way back to the parking lot that we had parked at, which was some blocks away from the theatre. However, Ben and Taylor (5 and 10 years old, respectively) were able to locate it without any trouble.

I find the same thing. I never used to have trouble remembering where I left the car but now I keep having to search for it. There's a wonderful system in one of the new malls near me where you simply enter your licence plate number onto an electronic display and it shows you where your car is. That only works of course if you can remember your licence plate number  :)

They do have these really great GPS key chains available.  You press the button when you get out of your car, and then you click it again, when you want to find your way back to your car.

How can one tell if Yogurt has gone bad.  I bought a couple of containers the other day at the store, but I didn't notice that they were still in the bag rather than the refrigerator for about six hours.  Considering all of the problems I have been having with my bladder and other things, I really would rather not eat something that might make me sick.  But I hate to throw away edible food if I don't have to do so.

Is this the same as asking how you know if sour cream has gone bad?

DR TCB - Yogurt is somewhat indestructible. If it has truly gone bad there will be a "gasp" of air when you open the containers. Otherwise, it is like sour cream.

However, if you are feeling "uncomfortable", then: "When in doubt, throw it out."

New episodes every two weeks - season one (like most web series) is comprised of six episodes, so will air over a twelve-week period.  Then there's a hiatus, we shoot season two, and that goes up sometime in March or April.

DR Jane (and anyone else) do you still watch UNFORGETTABLE (Tues- CBS)?

I saw a preview for tomorrow night's show. And the guest star is Marilu Henner.

I think that is totally awesome.

UNFORGETTABLE is about a woman who can remember every detail about pretty much every day of her entire life. She sees something once and she remembers it.

I first heard about this phenomena when watching THE VIEW. There were a few people (there are not many in the world who have this) on the show who had this. And Marilu Henner is one of them.  I think it is very neat that she will be on the show. I wonder if they quizzed her about what kinds of things her "powers" can do and not do.

I find the little ones can last even past their expiration date. The way i see if they have gone bad is that it curdles. I've had this happen even on yogurt that is supposed to be good (although i've only seen this happen in the individual packets).

I think you could tell by tasting it if it was truly bad. It would not taste good.

I have a problem with sour cream too! I usually just go by a) the expiration date b) if it gone moldy.

I'm tempted to watch the episode with Marilu Henner.  Will she also have the same abilities?  We stopped watching half way into the 2nd or 3rd episode. 

Of the new shows we are only watching PERSON OF INTEREST, TERRA NOVA, & A GIFTED MAN.  We think Person of Interest is top notch.  While not great we enjoy Terra Nova.  Gifted Man has some excellent episodes & others that annoy us.  Keith really doesn't like the dead ex-wife.  I don't know how much longer we will be watching it.

I'm now off to my parents' house.  My mom's making chili and cornbread.  I'm sure that it'll be quite tasty!

Be back later.

But before I go...

I can't believe the heater guy has to return tomorrow.  I'm not sure what he is doing.  The plumber is supposed to come as well.  We have full functioning heat today which is probably why Sherlock decided to hang out on the deck tonight.

Watching "Little Shop of Horrors" for the first time since I saw the movie at the theater when it was reelased. I'm really enjoying it more on TV than I did in the theater

Hello, everyone! I am back from Hilton Head. We played to small houses, but the response was quite good. I have lots to say about Hilton Head, the show, and a pissy queen director in residence at the theatre who made life difficult for the men in the cast when he showed up to direct THE DROWSY CHAPERONE and threw our leading actor out of "his room" because the theatre did our housing carelessly. We had to move David into our residence on Friday night, and the brouhaha created tension for all the men having this jerk and his little dog too invading their party. I think the sonofabitch should have checked into a hotel until our show finished and we left and, to add insult to injury, the pissy thing didn't come to see our show. We all hate her.

Hi all.  I've been doing a lot of stuff lately.  I decided to move my books from the office computer to my home computer and I'm behind in entering all the info into the computer, so I'm working on catching up.   It's kept me quite busy

Work has also been busy.  A few things that have happened that have made me think I need to change the way I do things....but I don't, I just needed to refocus and not think about what everyone else is doing etc.   Details are boring, but I'm back on track and feeling great about it

Today one of my clients stopped in.  She had to leave and go to Guatemala and come back through the embassy.  She's married to a citizen and has been working for a long time to get her permanent residency.  Many people have to stay in Guatemala for several years before they get their visa and can come to be with their families.  I got her back here in 4 months.   She was thrilled and so was I.   Today she brought me a really cool hand carved wooden cat from Guatemala.  I love it!

Here are sme photos from the show; they're dress rehearsal shots. The little girl Broderick isn't in the photos because she was still at school. sme of the costumes changed over the course of the week as well; the shoes are all too n9ce for Appalachian dirt poor mners, farmers, etc.

this is the New Year Carol at the end of the show.

Back from rehearsal - rough tonight - which is what happens sometimes after a day off when no one thinks they have to run their stuff.

...And, yes, it was a "rough" rehearsal tonight. Myself included. Now that more of my book and charts are in order, it's just a matter of getting my head in order now too. -But as soon as I got back "home", I updated two of my charts and downloaded the last bit of music that I still needed to procure. And I believe I will be turning in shortly. Very shortly.
