Good morning, all!  I wanted to be at the laundromat by 8:00 to wash my new comforter.  When that's finished, Iwill make the bed.

After my vivid memory of yesterday's dream, I have only fragmentary bits and pieces of several from last night.

I am hoping for a quiet day today: I have nothing on my calendar, and I plan to putter about the apartment and accomplish little. 

I have heard from my colleague Peter, and we will meet on Wednesday evening at Toyland to remove my computer, receiver, binding machine and paper cutter. On Tuesday, I believe Joshie will come by with something to pick up his loot from yesterday.  I plan then on carting home some most of the contents left on my work table.  Then it's only ten days to the end of Toyland.

I've given hard cider a chance on several occasions over the years, and it never made sense.  A most unsatisfying beverage, if you ask me.  And I believe you did.

Sunday morning greetings!  Fortunately, this is not a Lima Sunday for Fr. Richard.  We usually go to Rob & Mary Linda's church on these days, but today we're staying home.  He's feeling better, but not ready to set the world on fire.

Now that the comforter's in the dryers, I need some breakfast.

I've been pondering my day.  I may begin the next edit of Gentlemen, Be Seated! partly as an excuse to clean off my workspace and partly because I need to get into the score. I will spend some time today on the 3rd DVD of Season 1 MISS FISHER'S MURDER MYSTERIES.

DR Elmore, Richard saw the nurse practitioner yesterday and she put him on a diet similar to the one BK was on last weekend - bananas, rice, applesauce, tea - and she prescribed something for the nausea.  He's also been drinking Gatorade  :P

For me, there are very few series that hold my attention to the extent that I have to follow it avidly. One reason I cannot follow soap operas. Game of Thrones, aside from the intriguingly designed opening credits, and theme music, is not for me either.

I wonder if they are even going to run their show.  If they cancel, I can leave after I clean up and put things away, which won't take too long.  The show is supposed to start at 1:30, so a decision will be made fairly soon.

Late last year, I won a growler bottle as part of a basket in a raffle (I guess a growler is a half a gallon or so) and my sister wanted to try some peach hard cider.  She really liked it.  I just thought it tasted like a sweet beer.  I don't like beer at all...and this didn't help. :P

Title: Re: WELCOME TO MY WORLD - THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
Post by: Jennifer on May 31, 2015, 06:17:47 PM
I was a bit rude. But man she was driving me crazy with how inconsiderate she was. My sister was sitting in front of her and she left her program on her seat. And this lady thought that it was fine to have her kid sit on the papers and crumple them. When I asked her to not do that she acted like I was in the wrong.

Then throughout the meet she kept getting out of her seat and standing in front of us (blocking our view).

Then finally she decided to stand right up against my niece's seat so she couldn't sit down to eat her muffin. I asked her to move and she turned to me and said, "oh my gosh you are so rude".

I wanted to tell her off so badly. I was a bit rude. But she had no consideration for anyone but herself. I really wanted to give her a list of everything that she had done that had bugged the crap out of me. But I didn't say anything.

I had a disaster of a cooking experiment today. I wanted to make ricotta balls. First, I did not find any recipe that was similar to what my grandmother used to make. Some were for dessert and that's not what we ever ate. That must be some recent invention by a restaurant. We always had what I'd now have to call savory, in that these would be part of a lunch or dinner meal, not a sweet dessert (not for me anyway).
Title: Re: WELCOME TO MY WORLD - THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
Post by: Dan M on May 31, 2015, 06:33:42 PM
OK, no satisfactory recipe, but I settled on one to try. Second, I had just bought ricotta. Here in Arizona, I have only seen 2 brands, and this was the second brand. I can now say that they both are simulacra ricotta. Based on the ingredients and how they behave as ricotta, these are not real ricotta. Back in New York, I could go to any regular, run-of-the-mill supermarket and could find pretty good cheese, like mozzarella and ricotta. There really should be no more than 4 ingredients (this is also true of cottage cheese). Milk, salt, vinegar and maybe rennet. Once you get into locust bean gum, guar gum, xanthan gum, and other fillers and thickeners, you have stepped away from cheese making and into chemistry lab creations. The proof is in the tasting.

As an example, Daisy brand cottage cheese is much better than most other brands, at least in a regular average Joe supermarket. You will notice a handful of ingredients. That's how it should be. Actually, that's how ice cream should be too. I can no longer eat Breyer's. Once a brand proud of its "all natural" ingredients, they've since cheaped out, and one of the cheapeners makes me physically ill.

So, the cheese I was working with is problematic, but I know of no alternatives (yet). I pressed on. I followed the recipe, and voilą, a tasteless almost inedible product resulted. Unfortunately, also a waste of time, a waste of foodstuffs, a waste of putting the stove on, adding heat to my apartment on a 100 degree day, and a disappointment. Very upsetting.

Now, cue the syrupy strings and I will retreat to a corner.

The ricotta balls should be the size of walnuts. The ones my grandmother made would be fried in olive oil, but I've known them to also work baked. Ingredients vary, but for savory ricotta balls, there should be, of course, whole milk ricotta, parmesan and/or romano, garlic, pepper, parsley, salt (if needed), and flavored bread crumbs. Some add a pinch of nutmeg. Egg in some form is an ingredient. This is something that I've seen vary and may be the crux of the problem. Yolk, two yolks, whites, no whites, etc. Since I have celiac, I have to use gluten-free bread crumbs, which I already know is a "handicap" for flavor and I consider it a given, not charging this against my overall impression of the failed cooking experiment today.

The actual result should be nicely flavored fried ricotta balls lightly browned slightly crisp on the outside, nice cheesy inside with a slight cheese melt. When made correctly, these are addictive and make a good appetizer, side dish or snack. Tomato sauce could be used for dipping, which is optional.

THey do sound good.

Did you drain the cheese?

I'll take a look in some of my Italian cookbooks to see if I can find a recipe.

Thank you. Sounds okay. I just have to laugh that he copyrighted the recipe. When I worked with copyrights and patents, I learned that recipes cannot be copyrighted. The title, the layout in the book and any illustrations can be, but since the ingredients are public, the recipe is in the public domain, so to speak.

As much as I'm not a Batali fan, I will give it a try.

Well, I guess the stupid kid upstairs isn't moving out yet. If he moved in at the beginning of December, maybe he has until the end of June. I'm not that good on figuring these things out. But I hope and hope and hope that he goes away. He is now a bored and restless college "student" (he looks about as intelligent as a rock) and only has a part-time waitering job, from what I've deduced. When he's home, he does nothing all day, then starts in at dusk. He is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANNOYING and RUDE. I just wish I were 6'5" and built like a defensive tackle and I'd learn him a thing or three. This kid needs to be knocked down a few pegs. He thinks the world of himself, and thinks that we all should feel that same way. UGHHHHHHH!

I appreciate it. He just doesn't belong here. I hope that when I am all healed from my surgery, I can look into other living arrangements because I can't live in an apartment under such a thoughtless person. I think he was one of those kids that was never told No and was always told what they did was Great.

Surprised it wasn't Clint Eastwood day, since it's his 85th birthday!

The first time that I saw him not as Scotty was on an episode of "Bewitched."  I don't remember anything about the episode, other than he didn't have the accent and I thought it was really weird...at the time, being just a kid and all. :)

Back from our performance.  A lot of fumfers from nerves, some missed lines, a couple of wrong lyrics, but Sami did me proud - lots of laughs, all the songs really landed and will land even more when we really have our three weeks to finesse every moment of the show.  Some stuff didn't get laughs but I'm not ready to remove those things yet because the timing was off on those parts - I need to see and hear it with the right timing, as I still think those sections will land correctly when done in the right rhythm.  In comedy, rhythm is everything.  But I'm hoping Sami learned where she was brilliant and where she needs to notch up either energy or timing.  This show is going to be a very big thing for her, I think.
