Then there was a bean dish - cooked all day - that was SO good.
Ooh am I the only one here who is going to watch the Vice Presidential debate tonight?
God... I am such a geek :P
This sounds like the Czech version of tchulnt, the shabbos (Sabbath) dish that you put in the oven on Friday night at about 200 degrees, and therefore don't have to "Make fire" on the sabbath, and still be able to eat a warm meal for lunch.
Hungarian, not Czech. (How dare you?!)

I am fascinated that the debates are being broadcast in Canada. I can assure you that little news of Canadian politics makes its way into the U.S. media.

Emily, I will be watching the debate. Like Dan the Man I have become obssessive about this election. I think it will determine whether we maintain our form of constitutional government or descend into thirty years of Far Right Wing, Extremist, Repressive, Totalitarian Rule.
Nope. I'll be watching, too. I've been manically and obsessively following every single step of this presidential campaign.One can only hope! ::)
I think it will be a draw tonight, unless Cheney loses his temper and cheneys up big time.
So, as I reach back into my distant memory of the home cooked culinary treats she once set before me, I settle on The Dear Mother's veal cutlets. Although she did not pound them thin (making for somewhat chewy dining) and used plain matzo meal (instead of spiced breadcrumbs) and did not first dip the cutlets in flour before washing them in egg and dredging them through the matzoh meal, there was something special about The Dear Mother's veal cutlets to which I always looked forward.
In Fahrenheit 9/11, I think the seven minutes of Bush staring like a rabbit after being told that we're under attack is all any thinking person of moderate intelligence needs to know about this president.
Like you, I also agree that when it comes down to it, the crux will not be Iraq but how plump people's pocketbook is when they go into voting booth. As the saying goes: "It's the economy, stupid." Job security, a decent salary, health care, prescription drug costs, medicare, social security are the issues. And even those with incomes over $200,000 aren't feeling all that secure.
Still not a big fan of mashed potatoes, even when schmaltz and gribbenes were part of the equation. (Which IS the most delicious way to eat them, after all....when one is eating them.)
And Taye Diggs ... is a total cutie!
And from Rochester!
Gee, this is the first I've heard about Rodney Dangerfield's passing. That's very sad.
And I know I'm out of sync--who/what is a Yo Yo Ma concert? Never heard of him/her/them/it.
RLP, Did Tom say anything about Woman In White? I'm dying to hear what he thought about it.
Wow - two cancalled Moses performances...and after ALL those rehearsals and television commercials (they are promoting it on the TV GUIDE channel now).
What two performances? It's three performances (Tuesday evening, Wednesday matinee and Wednesday evening) each week, indefinitely, as I read what's been published on the decision.
I actually liked the debates. Gwen Ifill, IMO, did a great job as moderator. Plus she was probably quite a few Americans' nightmare come true - a black woman in charge! It was much more of a gloves off debate than the previous one. And the two men were more evenly matched. For one thing, both possessed a working brain.
I thought it was a draw too, Jay. Although interestingly enough, MSNBC seems to clearly think Cheney was the hands-down winnner. Yet three instant polls CNN's, Yahoo's, and MSNBC's own instant polls have Edwards the winner slightly over 60% in one (where they give the option of a tie); around 70% in a poll (where no tie is offered), and one at 78% (tie offered) the winner. Depending on which poll sixty to eighty percent think Edwards win. Though these instant polls are unscientific, in the last debate the seemed to reflect the national polls that came out a few days later. So this is good news for Kerry-Edwards, I hope.
...and the East Coast Hainsies have the Big Event wednesday. ...Dear DR Elmore, I realize you mean no harm, but referring to the group you are gathering with on Wednesday as the "East Coast Hainsies" leaves out a great many of us. You leave out DR Jose, DR Danise, DR Matt, myself and der Brucer, and a number of others of us who are spread out along the coastline.
Actually, Panni, I don't know if it's stuffing. On the MSNBC poll, it will take only one vote from either the computer or the email address (can't remember which). I would suspect CNN and Yahoo have the same technology. But again what's so amazing is those instant internet polls (in the first debate at least) seem to be reflecting the more scientific polls. I don't think anyone has yet figured out how what impact the internet will play in this and future elections.
Emily, I will be watching the debate. Like Dan the Man I have become obssessive about this election. I think it will determine whether we maintain our form of constitutional government or descend into thirty years of Far Right Wing, Extremist, Repressive, Totalitarian Rule.Hav'ta love your form of optimism, DR CP.
...I think this president is probably the poorest educated, dimmest one we've ever had in our history....G. W. Bush has an MBA from Harvard.
Dare I say it -- but I'm starting to feel hopeful. If Friday's debate goes well...
I think Edwards' wife is a great asset. She looks like a real person who likes here cheeseburgers -- somebody to whom middle America can relate.
Edwards' response to the question on gay marriage was as disappointing to me as that of the Vice President. Maybe more so, because I thought the Democratic Party stood for equal rights.Edwards' (and Kerry's) attitude towards gay marriage has been known for some time. HRC, of course, adores them. Feh.
Oh,Woody, trying to defend Bush's intellect is a worst quagmire..."Is a worst quagmire?"
Hmm, seems Woody's rant about us bush-a-phobes disappeared...Yes. While it felt good to write the rant, I decided that it didn't need to stay posted.
In the heat of the moment, spelling goes by the wayside (You should see some of my first drafts)! But I really am slightly dyslexic, I think. My brain does not work as fast as my hands on the keyboard...For example, "heat" above came out "hint" before I caught it.Then slow down, and re-read. It works for me.
