Well, you've read the notes, the notes were vacuumed, and now it is time for you to post until the vacuumed cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: REFECTION!
-
First post after BK!
-
I would not complain about not getting snow. There was a time I would have been sorry to miss out on it.
-
I fell asleep while reading Murder on the Orient Express. Now that I am awake again I should return to it.
-
'night Tom.
-
Good night, Jane.
-
Good night, one and all.
-
Hi, Tom.

Hi, Jane.

Good night, Tom.

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. :)
-
Yesterday, Jane asked, "DR George, where did you end up eating?"
For lunch, I went to a local burger joint called Eagan's. I usually go on Fridays and it's always been very good. ;D
-
I recorded Present Laughter on PBS last night. I saw a very good production here in Olympia earlier this year, so I'm looking forward to watching this. Hopefully, I'll actually make the time.
-
Today, I'm going to my sister's to help her move some stuff in her garage because she's getting a new refrigerator. She's going to put her current (old) fridge into the garage, hence needing tomove things in her garage.
-
First in the East Coast morning!
-
I got back from Florida last night, where among many other things i got to celebrate my parents' 65th anniversary with them.
-
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.
-
I must ketchup!
-
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)
-
T.O.D.
I haven't eater fried foods for years. Not healthy.
Although, back in the day, I did love Colonel Sanders' fried chicken.
-
Good morning to all
-
I fell asleep while reading Murder on the Orient Express. Now that I am awake again I should return to it.
Do you plan to see the new film version with Kenneth Brannagh directing and playing Hercule Poirot.
-
vixmom's "When in Rome" musings yesterday were particularly entertaining!
-
Good morning, all.
-
It was great seeing Noises Off again. I hadn't seen one in years. Great cast, a production that moved right along beautifully, a wonderful opening night audience, and schmoozing till all hours.
-
But now...?
Coffee!
-
TOD
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.
-
So...last night Noises Off, tonight Avenue Q.
Don't I lead an exciting life?
-
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.
-
Two!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Congratulations to your parents, Fred, on their 65th anniversary!
-
TOD:
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.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I slept late, despite Annabelle's attempts to force me out of bed. Then, I had to clean the litter box, feed the birds, feed the cat, and here I am.
-
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.

Joshie says he's afraid I'll go crazy and have 12 cats by Christmas.
-
DR vixmom, have a fantastic weekend! No one deserves it more than you.
-
Welcome back, DR FJL!
-
Joshie says he's afraid I'll go crazy and have 12 cats by Christmas.
You will not become CillaLiz.
-
I need to vacuum, make the bed, and tidy up.
-
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?
-

Kill me first.
-
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.

My mother's wonderful pecan pie used halves. She made the best pastry crust I have ever encountered

Seeing the Cats vibes for DR ELMORE.
-
Close the damned door!
-
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?
-
TOD:

Do you plan to see the new film version with Kenneth Brannagh directing and playing Hercule Poirot.
I won't be rushing to see it. The only ebook from the library has a photo from the new film on the cover. I suppose I have the movie to thank for my free copy.
-
vixmom's "When in Rome" musings yesterday were particularly entertaining!
Yes they were 😊
-
DR Jrand, I think everything finally caught up with you yesterday and you needed a good rest.
I look forward to seeing your photo in the new hat.
-

She only had three cats, and she has a big house.

-

She lost Callie about the time I lost Joshie.
-
I lost the collar war. Annabelle has a fit every time I put it on her, and I cannot bear to watch her try to get out of it.
-
Still, there are days I miss her, and there are days I wish she were here to post about Callie and Boo.
She lost Callie about the time I lost Joshie.
That was after her ugly exit from HHW.
-
Like I said, Elmore, if Annabelle gets out, someone will be able to have her scanned for the chip.
-
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?
-
I don't remember, Jane. We had some foster cats that failed adoptions that we got stuck with. We didn't intentionally add any.
-
Our dog Belle followed us home. Our cat My Sin (as in the perfume) walked into our apartment.
-
Elmore, you will probably hate me for this, but Annabelle will love me.

I know, but I still wanted a collar and tag with info. Hopefully, she will never get out.
-
TOD:
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.
-
Saturday morning greetings! Richard and I have to been to what used to be the VFW hall on Central Avenue for the annual Kiwanis pancake breakfast. Our friends Katie and Mike came in as we were finishing our breakfast and sat down with us. They were gone most of October on a trip to Africa, so we heard a lot about that and saw some of their pictures.
-
TOD - When I was a student in Ann Arbor, the Bagel Factory on South University served something called a Fragel - a deep fried bagel coated with cinnamon sugar. It was heavenly!
-
Now I have to deliver Sue's donations to the Holiday Bazaar venue - bye for now!
-
I'm up, I had to run out and get some Tide for she of the Evil Eye and shortly I'll go do some stuff, including perhaps a quick breakfast since I won't have time to have any food until seven tonight.
-
Last week, my friend Betzy asked if I wanted to have breakfast / lunch on Saturday. Last night she confirmed the time we would meet. Twenty minutes ago, she texted me to cancel. Hmmm.
-
Now, I am hungry!
-
Back from bacon and eggs, banking, and picking up the last few days of mail at the mail place.
-

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.

Yes, we are going to Africa :)

I do love that ad where the guy who's becoming more and more like his father says "Close the door; what are you trying to do, air-condition the whole neighborhood?

DR Jane, I will see Katie on Monday when she picks me up for Current Events Club and will ask her then. I do know they were with Collette Tours, a company they've used several times for trips to exotic locales.

Thanks. I am not familiar with that company.
Our trip is planned and we have been vaccinated like crazy ;D
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.

We were supposed to go to Madagascar which unfortunately has been dropped due to an outbreak of the Plague.
-
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.
-
Page 4 Dance!
-
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.
-
Thatch is a perfect name. Good luck!
-
That's the way I feel, Jane! I was surprised that my folks weren't really planning on doing anything special, even go out to dinner, otherwise.
-
Or maybe they just told me that to make me feel good! :)
-
We were supposed to go to Madagascar which unfortunately has been dropped due to an outbreak of the Plague.
That almost sounds like a punchline in A Little Night Music.

Where are you going in Africa, DR Jane?

The pie is out of the oven.

Looks great. But I don’t get any until tomorrow.

Gratuitous post No. 100.

Did you go with halves?

WELL....that was a surprise....my brothers and sisters minus one....all came to surprise me with cake and balloons to celebrate the end of my chemo.....it was much fun.
They stayed nearly three hours and much talking and laughing happened.......
-
Happy Anniversary to the parents of DR FJL.

I expect they really didn't plan anything. Unless we go away for our anniversary we often don't plan anything ahead of the day. Just being together is enough.

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.
-
Now you know why I am reading "Murder on the Orient Express".
-
Hello, everyone.
-
What a nice idea for a party, Jack. So glad your siblings give you so much support and attention.
-
I'm glad you were able to spend that time with your parents, Fred. I agree about the traveling.
-
Does anyone here plan to see the new MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS? Personally, I saw no need for a remake, but that's the movie business these days. I'll probably watch it when it comes to DVD.
-
Joshie says he's afraid I'll go crazy and have 12 cats by Christmas.

She only had three cats, and she has a big house.
Yes, but she often joked about being a crazy cat lady.

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.

TOD:
I eat very little fried food. I do love samosas and pakoras, but I don't eat them often. I look forward to the day when air fryers are in every commercial kitchen.
-
I did some laundry and cleaning, but there's more here to do.
TTFN.
-
Thank you DR JANE & DR JEANNE.....yes, they make me very happy.
DR JANE I am excited about your trip and look forward to some wonderful photographic evidence!
-
Well at least MR BK now has TIDE for the next time!
-
Thank you DR JANE & DR JEANNE.....yes, they make me very happy.
DR JANE I am excited about your trip and look forward to some wonderful photographic evidence!
Thank you. Keith works the photos when we travel & can only put them on facebook so I will rely on folks here to transfer them, if that is possible now.
There will also be times we won't have an internet connection or cell service.
-
Good evening!
-
DR elmore--vibes for your kitten adoption!

Happy Anniversary to DR FJL's parents!

My last night to walk before daylight savings ends. I don't feel like going out in the cold drizzy weather. If only there was a beautiful sunset to tempt me. Oh well.

Happy Anniversary to DR FJL's parents!
Thanks, Kevin!!

Happy Anniversary to the parents of DR FJL.
Thanks so much, Jrand!
And what a wonderful family you have from the celebration they gave you!

65 years is wonderful, FJL. Congratulations to your parents!

This afternoon we saw the tour of Something Rotten. So much fun.

I had to control the urge to have French fries at dinner tonight. I was very good.
-
I like tofu fried.
-
Jane takes the best vacations.
-
We are a bit stressed out about this one though it was the first big trip I ever dreamed of taking. Hopefully it is worth the effort and meets our expectations.

Good evening

I have just returned from the apple festival in Peddlers Village, Bucks County, PA

TCM is on the TV with hosts Alec Baldwin and David Letterman
-
Poor Dave, since he retired he can't afford to have his beard trimmed
-
Back from vacuuming the rest of act one and all of act two - no run-through, but I cleaned up a LOT of stuff, so come Monday we begin run-throughs every single day, followed by notes and clean up.
-
Stopped at Gelson's and got a little enchiladas thing and a little rigatoni thing.
-
Finishing listening to Regina.
-
Congratulations to the parents of FJL celebrating 65 years of wedded bliss

I only want to relax so why do I have a yearning to go to the new house - I removed all the remaining art from the walls here and I'd kind of like to get it all over there.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Callie Cat

My question of the day is Was the helper's husband's friend raised in a barn?

I got back from Florida last night, where among many other things i got to celebrate my parents' 65th anniversary with them.
A Very Happy (if belated) 65th Anniversary to your parents, Fred!

Adoption vibes for Elmore
-
I am feeling peckish
-
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
-
The accompanying Apple slaw was interesting, it looked liked coleslaw with raisins but when I tasted it it turned out to be apples, raisins and chopped walnuts ...quite good
-
Interesting hearing about the progress of the play and the house move
-
Jack what a lovely surprise from your supportive family
-
Jane and Keith next big vacation sounds fantastic
-
Chas that was an amazing theatre and a lovely town. I would love to visit it again sometime
-
I am watching THE LITTLE FOXES which is quite a film.....I have never seen the play, but I would imagine it's as good if not better - depending of course on cast and director.

I have just returned from the apple festival in Peddlers Village, Bucks County, PA
I used to go there on a regular basis when we lived near there.

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.
;)
-
And now, I'm watching "Will and Grace."
-
Shelly Morrison (BK's close and personal friend) used to play Rosario on the show, but instead of continuing to play the character on these new episodes, I'd read that Shelly Morrison decided to retire from acting. In this episode, the character has died and Karen (played by Megan Mullally) doesn't want to say goodbye.

And of course the musical/opera Regina is as fine as BK has recently referenced.
-
And now, I must be off. My friend Margo and I are going to see to 10:10 pm IMAX 3D showing of Thor: Ragnarok! I guess it's doing really well and getting good reviews (93% on Rotten Tomatoes).
Be back later!

I dislike tofu, but I do like it fried. Go figure.

Jane, the trip sounds incredible. All of it.

I have just returned from the apple festival in Peddlers Village, Bucks County, PA
I used to go there on a regular basis when we lived near there.
We ate at the Cock and Bull
Fun. Was it good?

Great line from the latest Durrells episode. The mother, so properly British, is getting fed up with her children, who are enjoying a swim in the Mediterranean. They tease her once too often and she just mutters in their direction:
Please, drown.

JRand, your party sounds wonderful.

Seven!

I went out with Joy, my dance teacher, and a friend of ours who had quadruple bypass earlier this year. It was the first time we'd been able to go out to dinner. Wonderful food and three good hours of relaxing talk.

In this episode of the Durrells, there is a hawk. J.B., who never reacts to the TV, is really unhappy with the hawk noises. I shouldn't laugh, but I can't help it.

We are a bit stressed out about this one though it was the first big trip I ever dreamed of taking. Hopefully it is worth the effort and meets our expectations.

Because it takes on the flavors of the seasoning and is crispy.

I need to continue my travels on the Orient Express, not that the train is actually moving. It is stranded in snow.
-
Do not forget to set your clocks back an hour.

Good evening.

Great photo, John.

Thank you, sir.

Good night, all.

Today was college football day.

After Betzy cancelled out of lunch today, I pretty much turned into a
potato slug.
-
I ended up ordering a pizza for dinner.
-
Tomorrow, I get my Safeway delivery.
-
Another excuse for not having to leave the house.
-
No snow yet, but we may get some in the night.
-
But it is really cold again tonight. I may leave the heat partially on tonight.
-
Jane, it sound like an exciting trip. How long will you be gone?
-
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.

A month :o

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.
