I got home about an hour ago.  Alexis' show was pretty good.  It wasn't a "play" as much as it was Alexis talking about her relationships and how they went wrong, how they went right, and a bit advice (essentially, learn from her examples) to others in similar situations.  The space was essentially a converted garage with a bar area.  We figured about 45-50 people were there, and only probably five men.  Everyone really seemed to enjoy the night. :)

Some delays flying back into Newark Airport, which seemed to affect all flights going into Newark, and which looked like it created havoc for many on the flight who had to make connections, so those people had been given some boarding preference and helped with some seat swapping so they could deplane more quickly, I think.

Regarding the title of today's notes, it's an occasion to bring up one of my favorite lines from a play, a joke which seems to really fit the notes today:

"Nature abhors a vacuum, and so does my cleaning lady."  (from the play MONEY TALKS)

Love fried foods, unhealthy though they may be.  But I don't overdo it.

I can't say I've had any truly exotic or bizarre fried foods, which is probably all for the best.  But two that I only "discovered" for myself within the past decade or so are fried green tomatoes and deep fried pickles.  Oh my god, I love these.

Title: Re: VACUUMING THE PLAY
Post by: ChasSmith on November 04, 2017, 05:54:44 AM
The Avenue Q will be interesting, as I haven't seen it since we did it three years ago.  I know a couple of people in the cast, but I know the entire band who are all good, and they've incorporated the band into the set design.

However, they're doing this on the main stage at the fabulous Warner Theatre (where vixmom and the Vixter saw Ragtime), which kind of makes no sense to me for this type of piece.  But we'll see, won't see?  Oh yes, we'll see.

I don't fry foods, but I eat them. Recently had fried calamari and artichoke hearts, both of which were good.

I really like deep-fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with pork or shrimp, fried chicken, schnitzel, fried oysters, really crunchy fried shrimp, fried eggs over hard, and, like ChasSmith, fried pickles and fried green tomatoes.

I don't like fried desserts that don't need to be fried, such as fried ice cream or fried cheesecake.

DR Laura, yesterday I pulled out the pet carrier in which I brought Annabelle home, printed out a list of cats on the adoption list for Manhattan Animal Care Center on East 110th, and ai,ed to be there by 10 when they open today.  Well, I'm still vacillating.  I need to decide if I really want another cat or if I like the ida of shopping for one.  At 2:00 today there's an adoption event at Petco, so I may go up and look around.  And, again, I may go to MACC tomorrow, since many folk will be occupied with the Marathon.

I have to make a pecan pie for an early Thanksgiving dinner with friends. I don't think I've ever made one, though I have made pecan cobbler for the barbecue book.

Obviously, I have hundreds of recipes, as this is in almost every Texas cookbook ever printed. Still, there are questions, as no two recipes is quite alike.

I don't know whether to go with light or dark corn syrup.

I like the epicurious.com recipe, because it has 2 cups of pecans in it (more than the others). But I don't know if I want orange zest in the mix or not.

There's another question: Should I coarsely chop the pecans or use only pecan halves?

The sad thing about the Cillaliz situation is, we behaved very badly to each other, and we are poles apart politically, which I will never fathom, since I thought she was more liberal than she turned out to be.  I will never know what her thoughts are on the complete nincompoop she supported for president at this point, but I think she's so stubborn that she'd nevern acknowledge a thought that she might have been wrong. 

Still, there are days I miss her, and there are days I wish she were here to post about Callie and Boo.

I bought a new hat for the winter that is like the one DR ELMORE is wearing in his avatar....I shall post photographic evidence at some point.

YESTERDAY for some reason, I was exhausted and hardly moved from my lying down spot on the bed.   I am a bit more lively today.

I watched the first act of PRESENT LAUGHTER.....almost didn't make it through the first several minutes because of the horrible, incompetent Tedra Millan as Daphne.....

I was sort of dreading sitting through the awful Cobie Smulders anyway, so I turned it off.....

Everyone else I saw was great!  I like the director's name Moritz von Stuelpnagel - is that a real person or a nom de plume?

In my small bachelorette apartment I only had 1 cat which increased to 3 cats once I was in my 1 bedroom apartment.  In our second 2 bedroom apartment we added our first dog.  I think the highest number of various pets we had at one time was 7.

When were were finally down to a reasonable 1 dog and 1 cat, both devoted to each other, I stupidly added 3 more cats ;D

Cilla only had 3 cats, though at some time in the future she might have to take her parents cats and will match my top number of 4.

I cannot image DR Elmore having more than 2 cats at once.

DR Laura, excluding your feral cats and fosters, what is the highest number you have had at one time?

It's been popular for a while to deep fry everything at state fairs, like deep-fried Twinkies or deep fried Oreo cookies. I think I did try a fried Twinkie once. It was basically a Twinkie coated in funnel cake. It's really much too sweet.
I do love fried calamari. And there used to be a restaurant in Santa Monica that had extraordinary fish and chips where the batter was like netting and wasn't greasy at all. I've never found any other place that could make it like that.

I understand you wanting her to have a collar, and unfortunately many people don't know to scan for a chip.  Awareness is growing and any shelter or rescue group would check for one, as would a vet if she were to be taken in as a rescue. 

Fortunately it would be difficult for her to get all the way out of your building.

My one concern is that I will get sick from the malaria meds.  Keith is currently doing a 3 day test run.  I will do the same once he is done.

I am back from the Petco cat adoption event, which is every Saturday from 2-6, courtesy of the Animal Project:
http://www.nycanimalproject.org

I submitted an application for a 2-month old orange and white male kitten named Thatch, who was rescued a month ago from the roof where he was living.  He's really adorable.  We'll see what happens now.

There were maybe 20 cats and kittens up for adoption.  I also liked four-month old Sebastian, who facially would pass for Annabelle's identical twin brother, but her body is grey with black streaks and his is mostly black, or a dark grey, with lighter grey markings.

First we are celebrating my birthday on the island of Mauritius, where we'll spend three nights prior to taking a two week cruise of the Indian Ocean and East Africa. Ports include locations in Reunion, Mozambique, and South Africa. (Madagascar, which we were looking forward to should have been after Reunion). We disembark in Cape Town and spend three nights in the city prior to boarding Rovos Rail's "Pride of Africa" and a 1,000-mile journey north to Pretoria. (The experience incorporates Victorian-era passenger cars and recreates rail travel during Colonial times. Think Agatha Christie and the Orient Express without the drama.) From Pretoria we head to nearby Johannesburg--flying out the next morning to Zimbabwe and Victoria Falls. From there we travel to Chobe National Park in Botswana for five days at a safari camp on the banks of the Zambezi river.

Like I said, Elmore, if Annabelle gets out, someone will be able to have her scanned for the chip. 

I know, but I still wanted a collar and tag with info.  Hopefully, she will never get out.

I understand you wanting her to have a collar, and unfortunately many people don't know to scan for a chip.  Awareness is growing and any shelter or rescue group would check for one, as would a vet if she were to be taken in as a rescue. 

That would be my concern. Even if they knew, people are so busy these days and might not have the time to take the animal to a vet.

The only thing I've had to eat was the "chicken pye" ( their spelling) which was a disappointment .  It started out looking promising as a medium porcelain bowl with a lovely golden brown crust was presented .  And when I broke the crust a satisfying steam poured out. But the inside taxed like Campbell's cream of chicken soup sprinkled with cubed potatoes, peas, cubed carrots and the odd piece if cubed chicken

Love fried foods, unhealthy though they may be.  But I don't overdo it.

I can't say I've had any truly exotic or bizarre fried foods, which is probably all for the best.  But two that I only "discovered" for myself within the past decade or so are fried green tomatoes and deep fried pickles.  Oh my god, I love these.

There was a restaurant here in Olympia that had deep fried pickle spears.  They were delish!  Then the place closed more than 25 years (or so) ago.  They were the only place in town that had them, and I haven't had any since.

Well, today I helped my sister move some things in her garage to make room so that her old refrigerator can be moved out there because she got a new refrigerator.  Then, I went to a burger place on the west side of Olympia called Herfy's.  I'd only been there once before when they first opened years ago, but when a co-worker mentioned that he went there last week, I thought that I should try it again.  I did, and it wasn't too bad.  It was just a simple storefront with maybe six tables and a lot of choices.  I got the bacon cheese burger.  It was pretty tasty, except that the bacon was sliced really thinly...not really worth it.  Otherwise, I enjoyed it.  I'd might go back if I'm in the area and have time, and get something different.

After Betzy cancelled out of lunch today, I pretty much turned into a potato slug.

I have never been to Africa.  I was supposed to go to Morocco with Stan, but I had to cancel out for my second hip replacement.

I still would like to go to Egypt, but I doubt I ever will.

KEITH would like to see the pyramids but I doubt we will go there.

I don't have any plan to see the new version of MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS.  I was never a big fan of the original film.

My late friend, Diana (Stan's wife) always wanted to go to Egypt.  She loved Angela Lansbury's character in MURDER ON THE NILE.  she wanted to trudge across the desert wearing a pith helmet.

Sorry, I guess the play was MURDER ON THE NILE, and the film was DEATH ON THE NILE.  When I was doing the play, I was always using the wrong name.
