Filichia on Friday is last week's.Thanks. Will check for a new one later.
And the word of the day is: EXCOGITATE!
Today we are taking the Chinese kids to Mt. Hood to intertube. Then they move on to other climes tomorrow. Betsy and I are completely and utterly exhausted, plus I am nursing a little cold.

Hope You Feel Better. When Will Schindler's List be out on Blu=Ray??
A big party, not just a small gathering?
Can you buy one from someplace like Costco? They have large cheesecakes and they're very reasonably priced...if you have a Costco near you AND you have a membership.
Granted I have never tasted a Costco cheesecake I find the thought of purchasing one from them unappealing, plus DR Jennifer likes to bake.
just started making my cheesecakes in extra-deep cake pans
I'm listening to Whoop-De-Doo. By the time I saw the show it was pretty tired but I really like the CD. It's one of those cases where the score plays better than the show.I didn't realize that it ran long enough for it to get tired. I like the "Newt" song even more now than ever.

Is there an actual physical media release of THURBER CARNIVAL, or is it just MP3?ArkivMusic has released it.

The Newt song is from When Pigs Fly. Whoop-De-Doo was before Pigs. I Love You Elizabeth Taylor and the Nancy Reagan skit (among others) come from Whoop.
I saw Pigs just after it opened and LOVED it. It played at the now gone Douglas Fairbanks Theatre on Theatre Row. Whoop-De-Doo played at the Actor's Playhouse on 7th Avenue in the Village.
Doug, how does Cleopatra look? I'm eagerly awaiting the Region 1 release.
As for springform pans and cheesecakes...
After reading Nick Malgieri's book on cakes a few years ago, I just started making my cheesecakes in extra-deep cake pans - which, as it turns out, are called "cheesecake pans". If you cook and cool them far enough in advance, it's very easy to turn them out - and you don't ha to worry about water seeping into the (springform pan).

I do have a Costco only 5 minutes away. And i do have a membership. And i have actually tasted their cakes before. They do actually make some different stuff. And it is very reasonably priced.
But DR Jane is right. I would not bring something that is bought. I want to make it. Anyhow i'm going to try a peanut butter/cream cheese pie. It has chocolate drizzled on the top. And oreo cookie crumbs as the base (i like all those things i named). It also has some dessert topping mixed in (i guess to give it some height). Hopefully it will be good.

Water in the pan?
????
I do a bain marie, or water bath, to cook my flourless chocolate cake in. And I've always wrapped foil tightly around the springform to prevent the boiling water from getting in.From DR Jose:QuoteAs for springform pans and cheesecakes...

Some folks cook their cheesecake like flan...in a pan of water. This allows for a uniformity of cooking. (The pan holding the cheesecake is set into the water. A springform might leak if there isn't a proper fit/seal such as might be the case with a much-used one with dents).
None of my recipes call for this, but they do recommend the springform pan.

Good Evening!Did any of them know what they were doing?
I'm up, I'm up... And I played 180 auditions today.
In other news, this morning's Oregonian has an article about debris from the March 2011 Japanese tsunami reaching our shores--next year!!

Does this mean the person who is bringing the potato chips has to make them at home rather than buying them from a store?

There has already been some things washing up on Vancouver Island and the Washington coast. Some of the larger pieces probably won't arrive until 2014.

I was thinking something along those lines. ::)

I'd read about that, too. I saw a report on TV (or maybe on-line) that said that people should be respectful of the debris, that there will probably be a lot of personal items...AND there was concern about bodies making the journey. :-X
There is great techno-stress in our household. The only device that can pick up a wireless connection from our AirPort is my MacBook - neither iPhone nor Richard's MacBook nor iPad will connect. So we made a Genius Bar appointment, packed up all the hardware, and drove to the Apple Store. Of course, everything worked perfectly there and all the devices can pick up other wireless networks. But, back here at home, only my laptop. Next step is to call AppleCare and Richard has decided to forget it for tonight.
I'm very excited about the free Nook book I ordered today, WINSTON'S WAR: A NOVEL OF CONSPIRACY by Michael Dobbs.

Thanks for telling me, I haven't spent much time with my nook lately, and this looks like a book I'd like
Are you getting it?
Is the free Kindle book also just a Friday special? I told Keith to get it except he is busy playing a game.
Thanks to you too George, I'm going to send the link to my dad
