Well, you've read the notes, the notes were the head cheese of notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're having nothing to do with head cheese for good reason.

I saw THE OTHER on Hollywood Blvd. (my memory has it at the Vogue -- BK, would that be correct?) and buying the paperback of the novel at Pickwick Books.  I liked the film but wasn't totally thrilled by it, no doubt because at that time I was looking for some outright horror and not getting it.  A couple of years ago I watched it on TCM and loved it.  I drool in anticipation of the Twilight Time Blu-ray.  And it sounds like I'd love rereading the novel.  Also need to reconnect with FEDORA, HARVEST HOME, etc.

Good morning, all! When I get to therapy this morning, I will ask about this recent pain in my lower back.  I am not amused.

I loved both THE OTHER and HARVEST HOME as novels.  I've never seen the HARVEST HOME film (TV, wasn't it?) but I did like the film of THE OTHER, about which I remember absolutely nothing.

There was a company in Cincinnati, Kahn's, and my mother bought their lunch meat instead of Oscar Meyer. Head cheese terrified me - only my Uncle Harold ate it - and by the time I went to college, I had vowed never to eat bologna again.

More coffee!

Post by: ChasSmith on October 09, 2013, 06:04:11 AM
A product like head cheese wouldn't have come close to making an appearance in our house, and it certainly never has in my adult lifetime.  I look at the package, and don't even wanna know anything further...

Post by: ChasSmith on October 09, 2013, 06:09:08 AM
We were a white bread and bologna eating family all the way.  Probably Oscar Mayer, but could have been local store brands, too.  The one thing they'd get occasionally that grossed me out a little were the things like olive loaf, or the pickle and pimento loaf -- for some reason, while I liked those little thingies just fine on their own, they didn't make any sense to me stuff into "meats".  Now, however, I can very much enjoy a good olive loaf sandwich -- but done MY WAY, on good bread with other good condiments, etc.

I think bologna (or, let's face it, baloney) is something that probably shouldn't be crossing any adult person's gums.  To me, it would be like eating a cold uncooked hot dog.  Or maybe worse.  But I'm fine with other Oscar Mayer-type cold cuts (salami, etc.) -- again, as long as they're part of an otherwise well put together sandwich.

I don't think I read HARVEST HOME, and I only vaguely recall the 1978 mini-series which I believe I didn't see until a repeat a few years later.

I very well remember going to FEDORA (in Westwood), really liking it, and returning a couple of times.

I used to pick up a package of Oscar Meyer Head Cheese every now and then, as our local Safeway carries it. It doesn't really have a whole lot of taste, however. But it was something different to make my sandwiches out of.

I switched gyms a week back, but it was a mistake. The new gym not to my liking...too small, not enough machinery or selection of weights, and there is the annoyance of having to work around the zumba classes that are held right in the middle of the weight room! And the zumba teacher is the most annoying character I have ever come across...although he has a multitude of middle aged female fans who hang around and chat with him for an hour after...right in the middle of the weight room.

So, back to the YMCA...thankfully, they are letting me re-sign up, without charging me the sign up fee.

DVR'd a fun "educational" film off of TCM the other night. It was titled THE ENGAGEMENT PARTY, but should have been titled THE S & H GREEN STAMP STORY.

The plot was about a young couple (Craig Hill and Gloria Talbott) who are to engaged, only the young man doesn't want to get married until his career is set. Then he discovers that his to-be bride uses S and H Green Stamps, and Leon Erroll takes them on a tour of an S and H Green Stamps store and warehouse. All in glorious Technicolor. And With Mae Clarke as the young man's mom.

It was fun and brought back a lot of memories of those stamp books and going to the store to redeem them.

Ask BK:

It may not be politically correct to sing "I Wish I Were an Oscar-Mayer Wiener (bum-bum-bummmm)" (for those who remember the jingle when they decided to make it hip), but is there anything wrong with singing:

"My baloney has a first name
"It's O-s-c-a-r
"My baloney has a second name
"It's Mayer
"Oh, I love to eat it every day
"And if you ask me why I'll say
"That Oscar-Mayer has a way with b-o-l-o-g-n-a"

Loved the Dark Secret of Harvest Home when it first aired. I wonder if I'd find it hokey now.

By the same token, I found Fedora riotously bad when I saw it as a teenager. Wonder if I would appreciated more of it now?

I adored the film "The Other".

Of course, I had read the novel a few times before seeing the film, so I wasn't shocked at anything, but I thought they handled much of the story superbly.  Yes, there were some changes, and no, they didn't get it exactly right in the "frights" department, but it was close enough.

Uta Hagen was mesmerizing as Ada and Diana Muldaur was lovely and tragic and haunting.   A very young John Ritter was effective, as well.

But it's the Jerry Goldsmith score that sent me over the moon on this film.

Last weekend, for my birthday breakfast, I had real barbacoa, made from meat scraped from the cow's skull. Had cheek, sweetbreads from near the tongue and an eye.

If any of you remember the scene in Giant where they dig up the cooked cow's head, prompting Elizabeth Taylor's Leslie to faint in disgust, well, that was pretty much the situation, only we didn't see the skull. Just the meat.

"Harvest Home" was a great read back in its day.  I haven't revisited it in many decades, so I don't know how it holds up.   The TV movie was intriguing, but its main calling card was Bette Davis rather than the story's narrator.  I had the feeling of a lost opportunity watching the TV mini-series (it was a two-parter, yes?).

"Fedora" is a wonderful read in the four-part novel "Crowned Heads".  The movie only had a few "moments" for me....and a glorious, but badly integrated (recorded) score by Miklos Rozsa.  The segment where Bill Holden delivers the special Oscar to Fedora is the very best scene in that film...and one of the finest-scored scenes in film, period.  IMO.

Pimiento loaf, with olive, was also a fixture in our refrigerator when I was growing up, along with pimiento cheese.  This was the stuff of "lunch" in the summer, especially.  Along with tomato sandwiches.  In the fall, for some reason, it was banana and peanut butter sandwiches for lunch (on Saturdays). 

To my knowledge, Oscar-Mayer has never packaged banana-peanut butter loaf.

Recipe:

Two slices of bread.

Mayonnaise

4-8 large pimiento-stuffed olives.

Eat.   Serves One.

I remember growing up, my father loved the sliced deli meats with cracked pepper corns inserted into them. I had to pick the darned things out, each one of them, before I would eat these!  As an adult, I do love pepper. So maybe I would enjoy these now. If they still make them.

Good morning, all!

Last night  got one of those lovely shocks when I signed onto my Facebook page to find myself tagged in a clip of Pamela Myers and I singing "Color and Light" from "Sunday in the Park with George", at an invited dress rehearsal for the 1986 L.A. Premiere. It had been posted by our wonderful director, Fran Soeder. It seems Fran had a little hand held camera in that monstrous cavern of a theater, and has had these things stashed away ever since. Never knew about that, only about an audio recording from someone's lap during the show. It looks like he is now transferring and making clips for postings of our show and others he directed out here.

It was amazing to see, and even though the quality isn't the best, it's something I'd love to have a copy of. I tried downloading it, but it wasn't possible. I'll have to ask him for a copy.  Talk about a blast from way in the past. But that show remains a highlight in my crazy career.

Happy Hump Day to everyone!

Premiere. It had been posted by our wonderful director, Fran Soeder. It seems Fran had a little hand held camera in that monstrous cavern of a theater, and has had these things stashed away ever since. Never knew about that, only about an audio recording from someone's lap during the show. It looks like he is now transferring and making clips for postings of our show and others he directed out here.

It was amazing to see, and even though the quality isn't the best, it's something I'd love to have a copy of. I tried downloading it, but it wasn't possible. I'll have to ask him for a copy.  Talk about a blast from way in the past. But that show remains a highlight in my crazy career.

Happy Hump Day to everyone!

So, where can we see this? Is it on Youtube?

No, it looks like it was uploaded directly onto Facebook. No host site apparent anyway.

And I am home from physical therapy.

I'm very puzzled: Chrissy Whyte got her CD of DEAREST ENEMY this morning in Dublin but those on the comp list in New York haven't !

Not only has mine shipped, but I got it for a slight discount from amazon for preordering.

I saw THE OTHER on Hollywood Blvd. (my memory has it at the Vogue -- BK, would that be correct?) and buying the paperback of the novel at Pickwick Books.  I liked the film but wasn't totally thrilled by it, no doubt because at that time I was looking for some outright horror and not getting it.  A couple of years ago I watched it on TCM and loved it.  I drool in anticipation of the Twilight Time Blu-ray.  And it sounds like I'd love rereading the novel.  Also need to reconnect with FEDORA, HARVEST HOME, etc.

I added it to my Netflix DVD queue.  It took a little while to find it because the twins' last name is spelled "Udvarnoky." :)

A product like head cheese wouldn't have come close to making an appearance in our house, and it certainly never has in my adult lifetime.  I look at the package, and don't even wanna know anything further...
We never had head cheese in the house either, but my mom likes things like pickled pigs feet and brains.  She's German and grew up during World War II.  They ate practically anything that they could get.

Last weekend, for my birthday breakfast, I had real barbacoa, made from meat scraped from the cow's skull. Had cheek, sweetbreads from near the tongue and an eye.

If any of you remember the scene in Giant where they dig up the cooked cow's head, prompting Elizabeth Taylor's Leslie to faint in disgust, well, that was pretty much the situation, only we didn't see the skull. Just the meat.

Eww...I wonder if that scene is in the musical.

Hello Everyone:

DR BK:
What is most favorite thing to do in your spare time?

Spare time?  What's that? :)  If on a rare occasion I have some I would always opt for a visit to a good used book store, but there simply aren't many anymore.  In the 1970s I could spend all day going from one to the other all over the city.

Again the question is why would any human being be so vain and/or stupid (STUPID) to do what Suzanne Sommers has done to her face.  It is shocking, nauseating, and if this delusional woman thinks she looks good like that then she is truly living in Fantasyland.  My guess is if she'd done no work she'd look great.

Aman and his cousin, Davinder, only had coffee as they had already eaten shortly after leaving Seattle.

And Davinder paid for me breakfast, which I didn't realize until I tried to pay my bill. I thought that was awfully nice of him.

I was not feeling good that morning, and look horrid in that picture. But it would be hard to look good next to Aman! He is quite the handsome Punjabi, and very nice, too.

That was from a concert that Jason Robert Brown did with his wife, Georgia Stitt (also a composer, if you don't know her). It was their first joint concert, and aside from singing with the 30 person choir, my buddy Will Collyer (who was in this week's Kritzerland show) and I got to solo on The Old Red Hills of Home from PARADE.

Will and I had both both understudies on the production of PARADE done at the Taper in 2009, with Jason and Alfred Uhry, and with Rob Ashford directing. It was the Donmar Warehouse production, with a cast of 15, instead of 36.

I switched gyms a week back, but it was a mistake. The new gym not to my liking...too small, not enough machinery or selection of weights, and there is the annoyance of having to work around the zumba classes that are held right in the middle of the weight room! And the zumba teacher is the most annoying character I have ever come across...although he has a multitude of middle aged female fans who hang around and chat with him for an hour after...right in the middle of the weight room.

So, back to the YMCA...thankfully, they are letting me re-sign up, without charging me the sign up fee.

If there is a problem tell them to change your status to "on hiatus".

Last night  got one of those lovely shocks when I signed onto my Facebook page to find myself tagged in a clip of Pamela Myers and I singing "Color and Light" from "Sunday in the Park with George", at an invited dress rehearsal for the 1986 L.A. Premiere. It had been posted by our wonderful director, Fran Soeder. It seems Fran had a little hand held camera in that monstrous cavern of a theater, and has had these things stashed away ever since. Never knew about that, only about an audio recording from someone's lap during the show. It looks like he is now transferring and making clips for postings of our show and others he directed out here.

It was amazing to see, and even though the quality isn't the best, it's something I'd love to have a copy of. I tried downloading it, but it wasn't possible. I'll have to ask him for a copy.  Talk about a blast from way in the past. But that show remains a highlight in my crazy career.


Cool!

DR Ryacko,

I just listened to your solo of The Old Red Hills of Home on You tube.

You sounded fantastic!!!

How long ago was this?

Thank you, DR Kate!

That was from 2010, the year after I did PARADE with Jason Robert Brown and Co., as mentioned in my last post just above. In that video, Jason is at the piano and his wife Georgia is conducting the string sextet. It was an evening full of wonderful guest singers and great music.

Oh, yes, I did eat breakfast with Aman. I had a mushroom omlette with hash browns, toast and coffee.

Aman and his cousin, Davinder, only had coffee as they had already eaten shortly after leaving Seattle.

And Davinder paid for me breakfast, which I didn't realize until I tried to pay my bill. I thought that was awfully nice of him.

I was not feeling good that morning, and look horrid in that picture. But it would be hard to look good next to Aman! He is quite the handsome Punjabi, and very nice, too.

You managed to still look good ;)   You both look handsome.

I switched gyms a week back, but it was a mistake. The new gym not to my liking...too small, not enough machinery or selection of weights, and there is the annoyance of having to work around the zumba classes that are held right in the middle of the weight room! And the zumba teacher is the most annoying character I have ever come across...although he has a multitude of middle aged female fans who hang around and chat with him for an hour after...right in the middle of the weight room.

So, back to the YMCA...thankfully, they are letting me re-sign up, without charging me the sign up fee.


That sounds most irritating. Thankfully, the classes here are held in private rooms off from the main workout areas.

That does sound annoying. Pretty ridiculous.

My hiking group planned to go to Mt Ashland this morning.  It should be beautiful up there with the autumn colors.  Last night there was snow so we went on a short walk here and then out to coffee/hot chocolate.  I can't believe there was already snow.  This has never happened in October that I can recall.  I needed a real walk when I got home so I went on our road and along the irrigation canal.  I returned to pick up at least 100 acorns.

Sweeping acorns feels a bit like trying to make a put in miniature golf and the ball keeps bouncing out of the hole or you keep missing the hole all together.  Those darn acorns don't always go into the dust pan.  Still I would rather sweep vs the ones I have to bend down to pick up.

If any of you remember the scene in Giant where they dig up the cooked cow's head, prompting Elizabeth Taylor's Leslie to faint in disgust, well, that was pretty much the situation, only we didn't see the skull. Just the meat.

Started watching a Don Ameche-Alice Faye flick called "Hollywood Cavalcade." It's not very good, but it is a fictional story of Mack Sennett and Mabel Normand. This is the way that they should treat the rewrite of "Mack and Mabel" since the real story is too depressing for audiences.

DVR'd a fun "educational" film off of TCM the other night. It was titled THE ENGAGEMENT PARTY, but should have been titled THE S & H GREEN STAMP STORY.

The plot was about a young couple (Craig Hill and Gloria Talbott) who are to engaged, only the young man doesn't want to get married until his career is set. Then he discovers that his to-be bride uses S and H Green Stamps, and Leon Erroll takes them on a tour of an S and H Green Stamps store and warehouse. All in glorious Technicolor. And With Mae Clarke as the young man's mom.

It was fun and brought back a lot of memories of those stamp books and going to the store to redeem them.

We couldn't redeem them for gifts in Washington, we could only get two dollars cash for each book.

Finished with my viewing.  One cast member I wanted for this upcoming quick show can't do it - Jenna Rosen.  Too much creepy school.  She goes to an arts high school that's supposed to be understanding about kids getting gigs, but they aren't.  So, I'm on the prowl for a young person who can belt like she does, tap like she does, etc.  I'm determined to have someone of that age in the show because I don't think that's ever been done in a revue.

Last weekend, for my birthday breakfast, I had real barbacoa, made from meat scraped from the cow's skull. Had cheek, sweetbreads from near the tongue and an eye.

If any of you remember the scene in Giant where they dig up the cooked cow's head, prompting Elizabeth Taylor's Leslie to faint in disgust, well, that was pretty much the situation, only we didn't see the skull. Just the meat.

This is one of those times that I have to agree with Liz Taylor; even if it was Leslie, not Liz.

Pimiento loaf, with olive, was also a fixture in our refrigerator when I was growing up, along with pimiento cheese.  This was the stuff of "lunch" in the summer, especially.  Along with tomato sandwiches.  In the fall, for some reason, it was banana and peanut butter sandwiches for lunch (on Saturdays). 

To my knowledge, Oscar-Mayer has never packaged banana-peanut butter loaf.

Wait!  Wait!  Wait!  Ron, I think you are on to something.   Banana-Peanut Butter Loaf!

There is something more to that sandwich besides guacamole and cheese.

Oh, yes, I did eat breakfast with Aman. I had a mushroom omlette with hash browns, toast and coffee.

Aman and his cousin, Davinder, only had coffee as they had already eaten shortly after leaving Seattle.

And Davinder paid for me breakfast, which I didn't realize until I tried to pay my bill. I thought that was awfully nice of him.

I was not feeling good that morning, and look horrid in that picture. But it would be hard to look good next to Aman! He is quite the handsome Punjabi, and very nice, too.


Don't put yourself down, Mikey.  I see two very handsome men in the photo.

Good morning, all!

Last night  got one of those lovely shocks when I signed onto my Facebook page to find myself tagged in a clip of Pamela Myers and I singing "Color and Light" from "Sunday in the Park with George", at an invited dress rehearsal for the 1986 L.A. Premiere. It had been posted by our wonderful director, Fran Soeder. It seems Fran had a little hand held camera in that monstrous cavern of a theater, and has had these things stashed away ever since. Never knew about that, only about an audio recording from someone's lap during the show. It looks like he is now transferring and making clips for postings of our show and others he directed out here.

It was amazing to see, and even though the quality isn't the best, it's something I'd love to have a copy of. I tried downloading it, but it wasn't possible. I'll have to ask him for a copy.  Talk about a blast from way in the past. But that show remains a highlight in my crazy career.

Happy Hump Day to everyone!

So, where can we see this? Is it on Youtube?

Sorry I missed this earlier. If you are on Facebook, it is on my page now. I am working on trying to download it, but I did get an embed code, so I'll try that out too.

DR Ryacko,"Color and Light" is wonderful

I did find our DR Ryacko singing a beautiful song from Parade on Youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWYFcu9kaIM

Sadly, I have no earplugs at my desk today. Will have to listen to it later.

That was from a concert that Jason Robert Brown did with his wife, Georgia Stitt (also a composer, if you don't know her). It was their first joint concert, and aside from singing with the 30 person choir, my buddy Will Collyer (who was in this week's Kritzerland show) and I got to solo on The Old Red Hills of Home from PARADE.

Will and I had both both understudies on the production of PARADE done at the Taper in 2009, with Jason and Alfred Uhry, and with Rob Ashford directing. It was the Donmar Warehouse production, with a cast of 15, instead of 36.

What is it like to have the composer playing for you?  I always hated it when I knew the playwright was in the house.

My first day back at the YMCA. You know, it was really nice to see all the familiar faces of the people that I would always see there.


You only look at their faces??
