Post by: bk on November 18, 2012, 12:35:29 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes brought back the pince-nez, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently wondering where they can purchase a pince-nez.

I have a PVR and really like it. I don't like watching commercials. Mostly the only shows I watch live are things like Survivor or The Amazing Race. But I still start them 15 minutes later so I will have no waiting.

I would definitely not like watching tv if I had to be there exactly when the show was on.

Sunday morning greetings!  No Lima for us today, of course.  Fr. Richard is still sleeping, although I woke up at my usual Sunday time (5:30am).  I read for a while and then slept in my chair until 9.  We're expecting Rob and Mary Linda after their church.  Rob's going to help me do some set-up for Thanksgiving and we're going to have the belated steak dinner that we didn't have on Richard's birthday.

We watched Broadway Melody of 1940.

There was a feature with Ann Miller about the movie and Cole Porter. It was fun to watch.

There was a TERRIBLE (IMHO) Our Gang short called The Big Premiere. A (very) young Robert Blake was in the cast. I was never a fan of The Little Rascals or Our Gang (is anyone surprised?).

No pinching of any kind today.

I LOVED Our Gang/Little Rascals up to the point when MGM bought the rights.  They "lost something" at that point.

"Broadway Melody of 1940" is great musical fun and, in its final several minutes, a "classic of the genre".

Good morning, all! I have no plans today, and so I slept in.

Now that I'm moving about, I will find some breakfast, and maybe begin a book. I'm thinking about a third go with Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo: revenge, unrequited love, good deeds, evil plots, an Arabian fantasy, opium dens, serial killers, lesbians, suicide, righted wrongs; it's got it all, and it's a fantastic novel, to boot. The Peguin unabridged and unexpurgated edition, translated by Robin Buss, is a revelation, since all 19th century translations, for Victorian sensitivities, censored or cleaned up all things unmentionable in polite society.

DR vixmom, what a great day for you and your good deeds!

I have a DVR and have no idea how it works. Absolutely none.

I may see ARGO n Thanksgiving day. May I'll see LINCOLN again. I will decide on Thursday morning.

Possible T.O.D. (Topic of Discussion, not Topic of the Day)

It is Thanksgiving Day, you are at some familiar place for dinner.  It can be  your childhood home, a relative's home, or maybe even your current home.  Wherever you are all the food sitting on the table is perfect (mom, for once, did not burn the mashed potatoes).  Suddenly time freezes for everyone in the house, but you.  You are now free to sit down and pig out on one item on the Thanksgiving table, with no guilt, no repercussions, and no calories.

What is the one dish you pig out on?

Good answer, JRand.

I'm not a big fan of Thanksgiving dinner. It's all a big heap of dead food to me. But when I lived in Florida, my friends would get really excited by it all and would have a big feast. On the invited list was our friend Nirmala, who is originally from India and a strict vegetarian. She would make five or six of her favorite dishes and bring those, too, so the house was filled with magical smells and plenty of love. Among the dishes she would always make was an egg curry, which she wouldn't eat, but it featured eggs in a truly spicy sauce. I loved it from the moment I tasted it, That would be the dish I'd scarf down in an instant.

Rob and Mary Linda arrived about 1pm.  We visited a bit, then Rob brought the extra tables and chairs from the basement that we need for Thanksgiving.  He also did some shoveling out in his old room and tried to put the new license plates on my car.  The front one is fine, but the old back plate's bolts are rusted and neither he nor Richard can get them off.  I'll have to go to the dealership tomorrow and hope I don't get pulled over for having different plates on the front and back.  We had Richard's belated birthday dinner - bacon-wrapped filets, baked potatoes, peas, peach pie.

I took my Mom to Panera for lunch - they were advertising a "Big Kids" grilled cheese and tomato soup

They had photos everywhere of a thick cheese sandwich with  "thick cut apple wood smoked bacon" and a bowl of soup

The handed a me a tiny squished  sandwich with NO bacon and a cardboard cup of soup  -- I asked the sandwich maker  counter person  if this was correct - and asked for a bowl of soup like in the photo and she told me they were too busy!!

 I did something I never do -  I walked back to the register where all the photos were and showed the woman my meal and the photo and said  " I am very unhappy - please look at this photo and the meal I have just been served and tell me if you see  ANY similarity"

She looked at the picture - looked at my tray - looked at my face and said - One moment Ma'am I will get the manager

OH I forgot to mention there was supposed to be a meld of several different types of cheese -  I clearly had  2 slices of American

The manager came out - looked at my plate and the picture  said ?"well the bread is wrong ..."

"Yes I asked for different  type of bread - but lets look inside the sandwich - NO bacon and clearly  no blend of cheeses....and lets look at the bowl of soup on the advertisement and the miniscucle PAPER cup of soup I was given ..."

"Ma'am, you are absolutely correct -  i am so sorry - please sit down and I will bring you the correct meal"

Which he did -  and it was delicious

I don't understand why I had to go through that  however -  I usually have a  very good experience at Panera

We had TAR here at 7pm since there is an awards show on at 8pm.

But unfortunately they aren't showing The Mentalist. They are switching it to their sister station, which we don't get here. So annoying. They constantly switch their shows back and forth between the two stations. That is annoying enough. But half the country doesn't even get the second station.

So i have to tape it on CBS from 10:30pm till 12:30am since there was football.

I found DR Vixmom's Panera story funny.  I can just picture Vixmom demonstrating the difference between her meal and the photo.  At least they took care of the problem though they should have comped you a cookie or something.

We went to the last day of a dog show and walked in while the Bernese Mountain Dogs were showing.  We got to pet and hug & get lots of kisses from many of the dogs.  We saw a couple of people & dogs we know and met others.  Most of all I had been looking forward to meeting a 7 month put I've been watching since he was a little tyke.  He is a looker & has future champ written all over him.  He gave me the best kiss of the day.

We watched Broadway Melody of 1940.

There was a feature with Ann Miller about the movie and Cole Porter. It was fun to watch.

There was a TERRIBLE (IMHO) Our Gang short called The Big Premiere. A (very) young Robert Blake was in the cast. I was never a fan of The Little Rascals or Our Gang (is anyone surprised?).


You have always disliked those that were shorter than you

The MGM Our Gang shorts are some of the worst things ever......

And when Darla left and Janet came in.....whew....that charmless creature with her too short dresses was just irritating to watch....and Spanky and Alfalfa began to wear on the nerves as well....

And Bobby Blake was always CRYING about something.....ugh

you steams your cauliflower

you butter a pie plate

you put the steamed cauliflower in the casserole dish
'
you melt butter into the cauliflower'

you take  a quart of sour cream and mix in in with the cauliflower leaving alittle  to "ice" the top

sprinkle with seasoned breadcrumbs

dot with butter

bake in oven at 375 until  top is bubbly and brown

don't share

Hey, isn't that the same recipe as the egg noodles?

Possible T.O.D. (Topic of Discussion, not Topic of the Day)

It is Thanksgiving Day, you are at some familiar place for dinner.  It can be  your childhood home, a relative's home, or maybe even your current home.  Wherever you are all the food sitting on the table is perfect (mom, for once, did not burn the mashed potatoes).  Suddenly time freezes for everyone in the house, but you.  You are now free to sit down and pig out on one item on the Thanksgiving table, with no guilt, no repercussions, and no calories.

What is the one dish you pig out on?


Just like Laura, I would sit down to a bowl of stuffing, preferably my mother's, cooked as God intended inside the bird.  How did we ever survive to adulthood?  Stuffing cooked in the bird, the meat left on the carcass.  I should have died before I was 18.  Thanksgiving has always had fond memories for me.  Hard to believe that my sister and I were raised in the same house.  She hates Thanksgiving.

I love my DVR.  Talked my brother into getting one and they love it too.  The funny thing is I hadn't even read people on the board talking about DVRs and I had a conversation with my mom about getting one tonight.  She says my dad doesn't know how to record anything anymore.  Well, i don't think they even have a VCR anymore, so I'm going to see about getting them a DVR through their cable co.  they can set their favorites and not even have to think about it

Thanks to those who answered my Possible T.O.D.  I thought it might help to have some topic to bat around.  But it didn't seem to help, since we were still on page two this afternoon.  Oh well, I tried.  Maybe once OUTSIDE THE BOX becomes the internet sensation it deserves to be, we will have lots of people begging to be able to post at Bruce's site.

Post by: Cillaliz on November 18, 2012, 09:27:19 PM
Oh they are good. I'll post the actual recipe if anyone wants it.  It's just cracker crumbs, butter, milk and oysters. with some salt and pepper. You butter the casserole dish, layer the cracker crumbs then oysters then pour some melted butter on it (not too much) then keep layering till the oysters are gone and the top layer is cracker crumbs.  Then you pour milk until it's just even with the top layer.  They you let it set in the refrigerator for a few hours to soak it all up, then take it out of the refrigerator and let it sit until the casserole dish isnt' too cold for the oven.  they you bake at 350 till it's done. Can't remember how long.  It's from my grandmother's recipe and she wasn't real specific about it.  I can look tomorrow to see if we figured it out

I took my Mom to Panera for lunch - they were advertising a "Big Kids" grilled cheese and tomato soup

They had photos everywhere of a thick cheese sandwich with  "thick cut apple wood smoked bacon" and a bowl of soup

The handed a me a tiny squished  sandwich with NO bacon and a cardboard cup of soup  -- I asked the sandwich maker  counter person  if this was correct - and asked for a bowl of soup like in the photo and she told me they were too busy!!

 I did something I never do -  I walked back to the register where all the photos were and showed the woman my meal and the photo and said  " I am very unhappy - please look at this photo and the meal I have just been served and tell me if you see  ANY similarity"

She looked at the picture - looked at my tray - looked at my face and said - One moment Ma'am I will get the manager

OH I forgot to mention there was supposed to be a meld of several different types of cheese -  I clearly had  2 slices of American

The manager came out - looked at my plate and the picture  said ?"well the bread is wrong ..."

"Yes I asked for different  type of bread - but lets look inside the sandwich - NO bacon and clearly  no blend of cheeses....and lets look at the bowl of soup on the advertisement and the miniscucle PAPER cup of soup I was given ..."

"Ma'am, you are absolutely correct -  i am so sorry - please sit down and I will bring you the correct meal"

Which he did -  and it was delicious

I don't understand why I had to go through that  however -  I usually have a  very good experience at Panera

I got an e-mail from Panera about the new grilled cheese...it looks good in the pictures.  If I go, I'll make sure I remember what happened to you and, if necessary, do the same thing! :D
