Post by: elmore3003 on October 20, 2012, 04:40:38 AM: Good morning, all! At 6:30, I accidentaly spilled my glass of water all over my night stand and then spent 15 minutes cleaning up the mess. Luckily, no books are damaged, but I did pitch outseveral magazines I won't be reading.

So, that woke me right up, and I dressed, sorted the laundry, and it's in the washers. When that's finished, I will head down to Toyland to see if Con Ed and the Foundation are back on friendly terms. It's my understanding that the mess is worked out, the power turned on, and all is good. So, we'll see.

More coffee.

Post by: Jrand74 on October 20, 2012, 04:41:05 AM: Congrats to DR ELMORE on his upcoming $$....you earned it!

DR JOHN G - I don't care what the people at See's Candy told you, the chocolate dipping episode was filmed on a sound stage in front of an audience just like ALL episodes of I LOVE LUCY. The first outside the studio filming ever done were some inserts with doubles of the car during the trip to Hollywood.

http://www.lucyfan.com/ilovelucy39.html

Amanda Milligan who shared the scene with Lucy WAS a real chocolate dipper and may have been employed at See's. Lucy told the story several times of her talking with Amanda afterwards and asking her how she liked spending time at the studio. Amanda told that she had never been more bored in her life. ;D

Post by: John G. on October 20, 2012, 06:51:28 AM: Good morning, all.

Thanks, JRand. I didn't think it was filmed at See's. But maybe they took the cast there for research before filming on the soundstage.

Post by: John G. on October 20, 2012, 06:55:03 AM: TOD: I'm not supposed to eat pasta because of my diabetes, but I ignored that rule in Italy this past summer where I had the best lasagna ever. It was about 3/4 of an inch thick, was made up of seven or eight of the thinnest layers of pasta ever and between each layer was a layer of thinly sliced porcini mushroom. Butter was added, and the flavor was so good that I could hardly believe it. Also, it was not a pretty dish, just rustic and well, it almost looked like an omelet. I still dream of that flavor.

Also, while I don't like the cast album, I would like to see Wicked someday. I think the visuals and the story would make up for a lot.

Driving from the Bank of Bur to the Beach of Redondo this morning to mosey around where I lived which was at the Harbor of King. Also need to drop by the Pier of Venice where I just might have one of my old favorite Mexican lunches at the Cantina of Baja which I believe is alive and well.

Favorite pasta dish: my homemade lasagna. I just take whatever recipe is on the box of noodles and double everything except the noodles.

Otherwise, I really like cheese-filled ravioli or tortellini with a red sauce...meat or not. Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken can be very good.

Post by: bk on October 20, 2012, 04:17:27 PM: For fun, I went to Google and put in "great donuts - san fernando valley - i immediately got several sites to look at where that question had been asked. While the answers were varied, there was one constant: K's Donuts. There wasn't a person who didn't recommend it. As you know, I've been on the hunt for a great donut place in the Valley.

So, first I went to Fast Frame to have my Reginald Marsh watercolor framed, and from there I went directly to K's, which was only moments away at Ventura and Beverly Glen in a little strip mall that also houses what is apparently the best foot massage place in the Valley. Well, they were right. I got an apple fritter and, more amazingly, a donut filled with whipped cream with chocolate on the top. There is no other donut place in the Valley that has whipped cream inside a donut, and that is one of my favorite things.

I brought them home and they were GREAT.

For fun, I went to Google and put in "great donuts - san fernando valley - i immediately got several sites to look at where that question had been asked. While the answers were varied, there was one constant: K's Donuts. There wasn't a person who didn't recommend it. As you know, I've been on the hunt for a great donut place in the Valley.

So, first I went to Fast Frame to have my Reginald Marsh watercolor framed, and from there I went directly to K's, which was only moments away at Ventura and Beverly Glen in a little strip mall that also houses what is apparently the best foot massage place in the Valley. Well, they were right. I got an apple fritter and, more amazingly, a donut filled with whipped cream with chocolate on the top. There is no other donut place in the Valley that has whipped cream inside a donut, and that is one of my favorite things.

I brought them home and they were GREAT.

Oh that does sound good. Not the apple fritter, but the donut filled with whipped cream.

However, my credit union always makes the funds available on that Monday before the fourth Wednesday. But if I posted all my payments to go out on Monday, chances are somehting would get screwed up and I would be in trouble. So, I have put all of the bill payments to go out on Tuesday, so if something does go wrong I can still stop them from processing.

I went to Gelson's and got a pound of the leanest ground beef. I got taco shells, lettuce, tomatoes, and an onion and some low-cal, low-fat grated cheddar cheese. I made half the meat, and had three tacos in shells and it was great. Not too horrifying calorically, either - the worst of it is 400 calories for the meat.

The wines were nice, but not spectacular. I think we drink better when we're at one another's house. So, does that make me completely anti-social?
