Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fricasseed and chicken, and now it is time for you to post until the fricasseed cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: FOOTLE!
-
Interesting that I couldn't put the complete title of today's notes in the discussion board - apparently there is a limit of words.

That is interesting. Hopefully, the actual Notes title field doesn't have a limit and you can make it as long as you want it. :)

And now, to bed. 8)

Enjoyed "Second Avenue." And those opening paragraphs in today's notes: Classic Kimmel! :)
-
TCB - Thanks for your note. Intersting thing about Kickstarter rather than just going to family (or even things like borrowing against unreachable money like meager pension funds) to help out - Kickstarter has a side benefit that no one thinks of it as self-dunding if you got the money from others like Kickstarter.
So i figure it's worth a good shot. if it doesn't come through, i'm also interested in maybe doing a book of just "sing along" parodies -
that might be easier due to an even lower likely budget. And might be a more unique book in 2013-14 era. But that's only if this generates no interest.

Morning all.
That is all.

Good morning, all! Last night's dream was a mashup of ROBERTA anxiety, the Drama Book Shop, and an orange coat with fringe.
This morning, I am off to Toyland, where I hope to finish the fixes for Act One. Rob Berman's workshop of TUCK EVERLASTING is over, and I'm hoping we'll talk today about prep work next week.

Greetings from Toyland!
I cannot log onto my email, and I'm wondering if Time Warner, who in an early morning email offered me faster internet for $10 more a month, is slowing down things to make that $10 a necessary item?

I am presently mulling over whether I should accept some friends' offer to take me to the fair -- the New Jersey State Fair, otherwise and formerly known as the Sussex County Farm and Horse Show -- tomorrow.
While there's more than enough to get done around here, that's just an excuse to sit around. I don't have any specific plans, and it's going to be perfect weather for a perfect summer activity. And I haven't been to an actual state fair since probably, oh man, I don't even know, but since I last attended the Ohio State Fair which has to have been as a pre-teen.

I've never even gone to the "Big E", the huge New England fair, since I've lived in these here parts, which is pretty pathetic.

Chicken Fricassee with Dumplings
Ingredients:
4 to 6 pounds chicken parts
1 large onion, peeled and sliced
1 cup chopped celery with leaves
1 tablespoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 1/3 cups water, divided
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Paprika Dumplings
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup milk
Place chicken parts, onion, chopped celery, salt, pepper, and 2 cups water in a Dutch oven or large kettle. Cover and bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from broth; set aside until cool enough to handle. Pick meat from bones. Strain broth into a 4-cup measure; add water to make 4 cups. Press vegetables through sieve or through food mill into broth. Return broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Stir about 1/3 cup water into the 1/4 cup flour to make a smooth paste. Gradually stir the flour paste into the hot broth. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Return chicken to pot; heat to boiling over medium heat. Prepare dumplings. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and paprika into a mixing bowl; cut in shortening. Stir in milk just until dry ingredients are moistened. Drop dumpling batter in about 6 to 8 portions over chicken. Cook, covered, for 20 minutes. If desired, sprinkle dumplings with additional paprika and chopped parsley. Chicken fricassee serves 6.

Can anyone post a recipe for chicken? I am in mood to make something different for dinner.
Are you feeling ambitious? I've always thought this looked mighty good, but I've not gotten around to preparing it:
Chicken Kabob Marinated in Yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons Aleppo pepper* or 2 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper plus 2 teaspoons Hungarian sweet paprika, plus additional Aleppo pepper or paprika for sprinkling
1 cup plain whole-milk Greek-style yogurt** (8 ounces)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 garlic cloves, peeled, flattened
2 unpeeled lemons; 1 thinly sliced into rounds, 1 cut into wedges for serving 2 1/4 pounds skinless boneless chicken (thighs and/or breast halves), cut into 1 1/4-inch cubes
Special equipment: Flat metal skewers
Preparation
If using Aleppo pepper, place in large bowl and mix in 1 tablespoon warm water. Let stand until thick paste forms, about 5 minutes. If using dried crushed red pepper and paprika combination, place in large bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons warm water and let stand until paste forms, about 5 minutes. Add yogurt, olive oil, red wine vinegar, tomato paste, 2 teaspoons coarse salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper to spice mixture in bowl; whisk to blend. Stir in garlic and lemon slices, then chicken. Cover and chill at least 1 hour. Do ahead Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Thread chicken pieces on metal skewers, dividing equally. Discard marinade in bowl. Sprinkle each skewer with salt, pepper, and additional Aleppo pepper or paprika. Brush grill rack with oil. Grill chicken until golden brown and cooked through, turning skewers occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes total. Transfer skewers to platter. Surround with lemon wedges and serve.
*A slightly sweet Syrian pepper with a moderate heat level; available at some specialty foods stores and from wholespice.com.
** A thick yogurt; sold at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores (such as Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods markets) and Greek markets. If unavailable, place regular yogurt in cheesecloth-lined strainer set over large bowl. Cover and chill overnight to drain.
Ingredient tip:
Aleppo pepper is sold finely ground or crushed into small flakes; either one will work well in this recipe.

I have never heard of some of these movies DR DOUG R.....I am intrigued.

Rehearsal continue apace. We don't have much that reaches the level of the clip DR GEORGE posted yesterday, but we are getting there.....and there are some clever things happening.
The Gangsters and Aldolpho and The Chaperone are all hilarious in their roles....I enjoy watching them all very much.
And a very nice gag was suggested last night....so hopefully it will be put into place tonight. We still don't have the Murphy bed OR the sound cues....but we shall see.

Here's one for Crispy Yogurt Chicken. It's another one that always sounds good but I've never made.
Crispy Yogurt Chicken
Ingredients

■2 cloves (to 3 Cloves) Garlic
■ Parsley, To Taste
■1 whole (juice Of) Lemon
■ Chicken Legs (or Thighs, Etc.)
■ Salt To Taste
■2 cups Panko Bread Crumbs
■ Butter (1 Pat For Each Piece Of Chicken)
Preparation Instructions
Pour yogurt into a mixing bowl. Peel and mince garlic; add garlic to the yogurt. Chop up a small amount of fresh parsley and add it to the yogurt. Add lemon juice. Mix together to combine.
Rinse chicken and pat it dry. Sprinkle with (kosher) salt.
In another bowl, place the bread crumbs. Sprinkle with salt and stir lightly.
Butter a baking dish. With a pair of tongs, place the chicken, one piece at a time into the yogurt mixture. Turn it over thoroughly to coat. Then roll the chicken in the Panko bread crumbs. Cover each piece thoroughly with bread crumbs and place in the baking dish.
Place a slice of butter over the large part of each chicken piece. Cover with foil and bake in a 350º oven for 1 to 1 ¼ hours, removing the foil for the last 15 minutes of cooking. When the chicken is nice and golden, remove from the oven and enjoy!

Love today's song, BK. And I loved the wedding song the other day too, but didn't get a chance to say here yet.
I've had a few days where I feel fricasse'd myself. :D
Hopefully, today will not be one of them.
-
I'm up, I'm up, after what should have been nine or ten glorious hours of sleep but is only about seven thanks to a problem with the Kritzerland site and a call at midnight about it. It's fixed now, but I was basically up till one dealing with it and probably didn't fall asleep until two-thirty and then woke up at eight-thirty, then fell back asleep at some point.
-
Perhaps I will have someone take a photograph of me tonight.....we shall see.
-
Now I have not made a clinical study of this phenomenon, but I do try to keep track during every show that I am in....and it holds true again in THE DROWSY CHAPERONE.
The less time you actually have onstage, the MORE time you have to spend in front of the makeup mirror taking up space so everyone has to look over or around you to fix his "hair" or makeup; additionally said person will also have the MOST stuff to spread out all over the makeup counter....brushes, hair dryers, powder, curling irons, powder puffs, hair spray, wash cloth and towels....and will never pick up after himself or put his stuff away....and in spite of this quantity of product will still ask to borrow something of yours....

I used to love building a salad plate consisting of chicken salad, tuna salad, egg salad, potato salad, cole slaw, and a small green salad.
Which, now that I mention it, is sounding pretty good again. But I'm much choosier now about the quality of each one of those things, so sourcing it could be a challenge.
Of course, I'm also given to understand that some people actually make their own...
Nah.

OMG. That is game playing of the highest order, DR Elmore.

What came first, the chicken salad or the egg salad?

The Eternal Question.

DR George,
Regarding Blue Valentine, I know that it is a sad movie. Sometimes though, I think it worth it to sit thru the pain if it makes us think.
I love a movie that affects me emotionally. Yes, I do know what you mean about having to be in the mood for that type of movie.
-
Hi Brother Kevin!

I am curious:
Does anyone know how Der Brucer and/or S. Woody White are doing?

I believe DR TCB saw Tom of Oz in the spring. I guess he didn't make it to Southern Oregon.
I sent Der Brucer an email a good while back and didn't receive a response. I will write him again.

You won't believe it, but the first spam registration got through - here's the unbelievable part - you have to answer three questions to actually even be able to get the registration request to be sent. Spambots cannot do this, so this means that some ASS somewhere had to physically come on the site, register and answer the questions. How can any idiot possibly be that demented or stupid to think that the e-mail address, which was buy clothes.com or some idiotic thing like that, would be approved? It is really something. So, I'm going to go in and make it impossible to register. If someone real is trying to register and can't figure out the final answer, they can e-mail us for the answer. I think that's the best way, don't you? The question will either be "What is it?" You know what that answer is. Or, What is Adriana's last name? And you know what that answer is - which do you like better? I could also do "what is the best record label?" Anyone who can't provide THAT answer doesn't need to be on THIS site.
-
I was going to say the first as maybe being less searchable for a quick and easy answer. But if a savvy hacker is glancing at the message board, that might not be the case. Oy!
-
DR Jrand, my condolences on the loss of your special store cat, the Magickal Kat Merlin.

Same from us, Jrand. Sorry to hear about that.

I'm thinking "what is the best record label?" because I think your music often brings new people here, more so than Adriana. Going on DR Chas theory it might also be the easiest for a hacker.

I dunno, BK. Some people may google something unrelated -- like Kevin Spirtis -- and wind up on one of our old threads. And they may want to join the best site on the internet. They probably would not know the answers to the questions. Those of us who have been around forever would know them. But someone new who finds us couldn't get in.

Good evening, by the way.

They can drop me an e-mail if they don't know the answer - and we'll probably put that right on the registration page.

1 1/2 tablespoons Aleppo pepper* or 2 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper plus 2 teaspoons Hungarian sweet paprika, plus additional Aleppo pepper or paprika for sprinkling
1 cup plain whole-milk Greek-style yogurt** (8 ounces)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 garlic cloves, peeled, flattened
2 unpeeled lemons; 1 thinly sliced into rounds, 1 cut into wedges for serving 2 1/4 pounds skinless boneless chicken (thighs and/or breast halves), cut into 1 1/4-inch cubes
Special equipment: Flat metal skewers
Preparation
If using Aleppo pepper, place in large bowl and mix in 1 tablespoon warm water. Let stand until thick paste forms, about 5 minutes. If using dried crushed red pepper and paprika combination, place in large bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons warm water and let stand until paste forms, about 5 minutes. Add yogurt, olive oil, red wine vinegar, tomato paste, 2 teaspoons coarse salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper to spice mixture in bowl; whisk to blend. Stir in garlic and lemon slices, then chicken. Cover and chill at least 1 hour. Do ahead Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Thread chicken pieces on metal skewers, dividing equally. Discard marinade in bowl. Sprinkle each skewer with salt, pepper, and additional Aleppo pepper or paprika. Brush grill rack with oil. Grill chicken until golden brown and cooked through, turning skewers occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes total. Transfer skewers to platter. Surround with lemon wedges and serve.
*A slightly sweet Syrian pepper with a moderate heat level; available at some specialty foods stores and from wholespice.com.
** A thick yogurt; sold at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores (such as Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods markets) and Greek markets. If unavailable, place regular yogurt in cheesecloth-lined strainer set over large bowl. Cover and chill overnight to drain.
Ingredient tip:
Aleppo pepper is sold finely ground or crushed into small flakes; either one will work well in this recipe.
I think that starting with an egg would be even more ambitious!

Why are New Yorkers rubbing nightingale poop on their faces and not cockatoo poop? J.B. has let me down again.

John, if you decide to try J.B. poop on your face, please don't post the video.

Now I have not made a clinical study of this phenomenon, but I do try to keep track during every show that I am in....and it holds true again in THE DROWSY CHAPERONE.
The less time you actually have onstage, the MORE time you have to spend in front of the makeup mirror taking up space so everyone has to look over or around you to fix his "hair" or makeup; additionally said person will also have the MOST stuff to spread out all over the makeup counter....brushes, hair dryers, powder, curling irons, powder puffs, hair spray, wash cloth and towels....and will never pick up after himself or put his stuff away....and in spite of this quantity of product will still ask to borrow something of yours....
I wouldn't have expected you to be that sloppy, jrand.

Thank God Cheyenne didn't mention me by name....whew....I have a show opening next week, and...well...we just don't need that kind of publicity!
What about the full houses?

I am curious:
Does anyone know how Der Brucer and/or S. Woody White are doing?
Has anyone...ANYone...heard from or about Tom of Oz?
Yes, I just got an e-mail from Tom the other day. He appears to currently be in remission with his cancer. And he and Colin are continuing to do well.
-
My condolences, DR Druxy, on the loss of your friend.

Thanks for the good news. I've been meaning to write and ask.

I dunno, BK. Some people may google something unrelated -- like Kevin Spirtis -- and wind up on one of our old threads. And they may want to join the best site on the internet. They probably would not know the answers to the questions. Those of us who have been around forever would know them. But someone new who finds us couldn't get in.
I agree. Why would you not want new people to be able to join. Who really cares if one spambot can get through. I don't think that you should ask something that only people on this site would know.

Thank you for the chicken dishes, but I didn't get home until 9pm and too tired to cook, but I will try them over the weekend.

You know, I always have to laugh when people start telling me about registrations and people joining. The fact is, almost no new people join this site and when they do it is very easy for me to tell if they're real - we just had someone last week. But these spammers must be stopped and if it takes asking a question someone has to write in about then that's what it takes. That way I know they're real and that's that. I'll leave it as it is but if one more gets through then I'll make it so that no spammer can EVER get through with a registration. Much as I would love it, we don't have people clamoring to join the board, it's that simple. Maybe one or two a year.

Back from a community production of "Spamalot." The show has its moments, but overall the material is really second rate. But the production was good. They had some excellent women dancers in the chorus and the diva had a voice that really was a knock out. I think the rest of the elements will gel nicely over the month-long run, but even that won't be able to hide deficits in the material.
I hope word-of-mouth is good because there were problems with the air conditioning, which I wish on no theater when its 105 degrees outside and people are looking for cold escape.

I came home to discover that a friend of mine had placed three lobsters in my refrigerator. :)
The local seafood purveyor was having Lobster Mania. It was supposed to run Thursday through tomorrow with each lobster selling for $6.95 no matter the weight. They sold 3,000 yesterday as they said they were going to, and they had planned on selling 3,000 today, too. But it was such a madhouse that they sold every last lobster in the place, 9,000 total, including the 5,000 they had planned on selling tomorrow. Customers are hurt, but there will be more lobsters next week.
In the meantime, I have a little afternoon snack waiting for me tomorrow.

Good night, all.

Hello. I think this is the latest (or earliest) I've ever posted. I fell aslepp at about 8:30 and woke up at about 12:45. Watching Burns and Allen. I have to say Gracie Allen was one of a kind!

Sorry, Kate! I wasn't here when you said hello. I'll call you over the weekend.

Hi TCB!

Finished with my viewing.

I don't know about you but I'd like a hot fudge sundae, some chocolate cream pie, some coconut cream pie and a lime rickey. However, instead I just had a fifty calorie cheese slice. Not quite the same.

I really think another ten pounds of weight loss will put me just where I want to be.

I could change one of the registration questions to what is dear reader Sandra's favorite food.

Hi TCB!
Hi Kevin!!

Page seven? Wouldn't eight be great.

I know - fat chance will get there. Perhaps it should be a skinny chance.

I think I'll take a nice hot shower right about now.

I had eggs for breakfast.
