And the word of the day is: EURYTHMIC!
Vixmom, judging chili in Texas is different from judging chili elsewhere. You have a definite set of rules, such as you cannot identify the meat by sight, so if you're mixing meats, they all need to be ground the same way, so the beef looks like the venison, pork or chicken.
NO beans. Ever.
It's called a bowl of red, so you are required to judge the redness of it and how well it works. Not Red Dye No. 2 red, but a natural, chili-induced red.
Many do not use tomatoes.
I can't remember the rest this morning.
What is a coronation chicken sandwich??

I'd eat that!What is a coronation chicken sandwich??
Based on a dish that was created for the current Queen's coronation, it was chicken salad made with what tasted to me like Thousand Island dressing.

My colleague Curtis told me he'd be in around 12:30, and it's now 2:00 with no sign of him. I'm going home.

Dan the man, just picked up GEORGY GIRL in a disocunt bin at Half-Price Books...looking forward to it!
My newest British addiction isn't film, but a TV series: FOYLE'S WAR.
Yes, MBarnum, that Howard Keel can be scary, but was he a triffid or was that Kathryn Grayson in an unbilled guest appearance?
After a delicious lunch - fish & chips for Richard, coronation chicken sandwich for me - we checked into our fabulous corner room that's everything our room in Norwich was not. Richard is still not feeling great, so is napping until 3:30 and then we'll go out for a walk.
I have reason to suspect that I'm coming down with the class cold, too...

On my walk home, I passed my postman whose late arrivals every day have made me suspect for some time that he's been stopping somewhere for a tryst most days. After I passed him, I heard a lady greet him with, "Hey, sexy postman!" Hmmmm . . . .

I also like a British film titled THE WOMAN EATER - but it is a bit difficult to describe.

Hey, Sexy Postman is the title of my new Danish movie.

Howard did not speak kindly of that picture.
DR BMarnum I enjoyed your movie posters.
I have discoverd the new Cherry flavored M and Ms.
Next time I am in NYC, DR Elmore, I will personally investige this mailman of yours.

I have discoverd the new Cherry flavored M and Ms.I have not heard about these. I wonder if they sell them here. My favorites are the peanut butter ones. Have not had those in a long time.
I may become addicted.
So, it looks as though we will record ROBERTA in Dublin in September. The Man From Philadelphia seems happy with the news. My FINIAN'S RAINBOW conductor Rob Berman will conduct. I am happy to have him join the group. He's a great talent.

One of my top two favorite authors has these giveaways every Friday. She usually gives out a signed copy of any of her books. Or sometimes an advance readers copy. Or sometimes a signed something else. I have entered almost every week for like two years. Never won. Sometimes you have to answer an easy question. Or sometimes a harder one. This Friday she was giving out tshirts from her last book- love the series. And today her assistant emailed me to say I won one of the t shirts. Woohoo!
Well, that is a lot of posts about me and other nonsense.Nothing about M&Ms is ever utter nonsense.

Last night's The Good Wife was so good. Still need to watch The Mentalist and Downton Abbey. I really want to watch Fashion Police. But right now I am reading. Did not get to read for 3 days.
It is amazing that little things can make you smile.

DEAREST ENEMY is still waiting its first edit. My three-time Grammy-winning producer is busy lady.

I'm promised an edit in March, and I suspect New World will aim for a Christmas release. We will record ROBERTA in September, mix everything, which I suspect will take a couple of months, depending on Judy's schedule; then in Manhattan we will overdub the seven Collegians, Billy, and dialogue for the bitchy finacee and her mother. I don't see that happening before Jan. 2014. My next project is to land the actors for the Bob Hope and Ray Middleton roles.
Good morning, all! I am off to City Center to see Joshie before I head down to Toyland.
I've heard from Judy, so it looks as though we have a September between Sept 7 and 23 to record in Dublin, i
And...we're in London! Waiting in the pub that's on the ground floor of our hotel for our room to be ready. We are a stone's throw from Westminster Abbey.
Vixmom, here's a recipe that's relatively close to a solid Texas chili, though I would probably brown the meat in the bacon drippings before adding:thank you John G!! I will give that a try

I've always thought of it as a British film Dan and the British Film Institute describe it as such although Wikipedia say it's an American film...but what do they know! By the way, it's DOCTOR ZHIVAGO not DR ZHIVAGO. M-G-M were very insistent about using that correct title!

And Vixmom really got this right: "All of the Wallace and Gromit movies/shorts." :D
I then downloaded WAR HORSE & read most of it, finishing the book this morning.
Thank you DR Cilla for lending it to me. I enjoyed it very much and might look for more books by the author. When I opened the book and saw it was only 120 pages I suspected it was written for older children. As I began to read I was sure I was about to adventure into a wonderful book written for children and loved by adults.
I took these photos the last time we watched Kitty & Yogi while Craig was away.Beautiful kitty.
Last night's The Good Wife was so good. Still need to watch The Mentalist and Downton Abbey. I really want to watch Fashion Police. But right now I am reading. Did not get to read for 3 days.
Three days, must have been hard to go that long.
