Title: THE TALE OF THE SMASH BURGER
Post by: bk on August 29, 2023, 12:16:51 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes were smashed, and now it is time for you to post until the smashed cows come home.

Topic of the Day:  I have had some smash burgers, and I like them.  I like thin burger patties to ones that are too thick, and even though you get two, they're still usually not as thick as regular burger patties.  AND because they're thin, there's no way to have any pink in the middle, which really turns me off, burger-wise. :P

Post by: ChasSmith on August 29, 2023, 04:29:43 AM
I had a rather mind boggling crazy dream fairly early in the night, which I woke from and went back to sleep in short order. At some point later, I started a different dream, but it was clearly a followup to the earlier one with new elements brought in. Then I'll be damned (oh yes, I will) if the early-morning dreaming didn't continue that second one, with another new element or two brought in. I finally decided to get the HELL up a little earlier than I needed to, just to stop the insanity.

What's crazy about it is that, to my knowledge, not one part of any of those dreams had any basis in reality. I can usually find something that a dream, or some part of it, can be attributed to, but only one little thing in this series was something that has any history with me at all.

Oh well. So let's enjoy a new day, shall we? Lordy.

Anyhoo, it will be great to see DR Elmore for the first time since -- when was it, October? December? -- our HHW get-together at Joe Allen.

And of course visiting the kitties. And I believe adopted son Joshie is scheduled to be there. I forget the other person DR Elmore mentioned, but I don't think it was the helper Mario, someone else.

It will be a fine visit and reunion.

The site was definitely offline for a while last night. I'd attempted to get on for a quick ketchup, and I'm sorry I don't remember what time it was, somewhere between 11:00 and midnight eastern time? Oh, we can check vixmom's postings because I believe she had just said a few things, and I saw DR Jrand73 come on, but every page was taking forever to load, and when I tried again a little while later it was completely down. At that point I was going to bed so I don't know how long it persisted. But it was between vixmom's postings and BK's.

TOD:

Yes, I have had several varieties of smashburgers, and I have loved all of them, for the most part.

I like the crispy patties more than any chewy patty.  It's pure flavor.  Cheese adds the chewiness, and I love grilled onions and pickles on them, too.

Official cast list hasn't come out yet, so it's still quiet.   Lots of line to learn, and I'm daunted by that as this would be my first "real" role ever.  Always happily been in the ensemble whenever I decided to venture out on to the stage.

I had a lovely visit with Charles before Jason and Joshie showed up around noon. By the time they carried the nine cartons to the elevator, my walker and I were out of the apartment. We had a nice lunch which included a phone call to Jason from Emily Loesser! Emily and I spoke briefly. When dinner was finished, Charles went for his car, and Jason and Joshie walked me back to my building. I move so slowly, DR ChasSmith was waiting in front of my building. Jason and Joshie carried the cartons to the car, and we said our goodbyes. I had an epiphany as well: I wanted from my arrival in NYC to have a family at some point, but my dreams of a partner never worked out. Yet, as I hobbled up the street on that walker, I realized I had two marvelous sons, Jason and Joshie. Families are what we make.

Back! -- From a great visit and luncheon with everyone!

Oddly, today I got no pictures of the cats. That's unusual, but Stella and Annabelle were nevertheless friendly and welcoming. There just wasn't a lot of activity for them to pose in. I usually spy Thatch eventually peeking out from under something, but today he was in a safe place and liking it.

Good Morning - the site was definitely down last night - and so I couldn't make the quiet announcement that I was cast as General Waverly in White Christmas. Official cast list hasn't come out yet, so it's still quiet.   Lots of line to learn, and I'm daunted by that as this would be my first "real" role ever.  Always happily been in the ensemble whenever I decided to venture out on to the stage.   

Congrats, Matthew!!  Hope you have a great time! ;D

I had a lovely visit with Charles before Jason and Joshie showed up around noon. By the time they carried the nine cartons to the elevator, my walker and I were out of the apartment. We had a nice lunch which included a phone call to Jason from Emily Loesser! Emily and I spoke briefly. When dinner was finished, Charles went for his car, and Jason and Joshie walked me back to my building. I move so slowly, DR ChasSmith was waiting in front of my building. Jason and Joshie carried the cartons to the car, and we said our goodbyes. I had an epiphany as well: I wanted from my arrival in NYC to have a family at some point, but my dreams of a partner never worked out. Yet, as I hobbled up the street on that walker, I realized I had two marvelous sons, Jason and Joshie. Families are what we make.

That's wonderful, Larry!

Greetings from the Bedford Playhouse, where I’m about to sit down and watch The Big Lebowski.  Are there other movies I’d prefer seeing? Sure, but I think the more modern “classics” are bringing more people in, and that’s a good thing.

Last month was From Russia With Love, which was superb. Next month, The Long Goodbye.

My friend Margo's middle daughter is fluent in Japanese, and even studied there for a year.

She (the daughter) also has a couple of friends who still live there and she's even gone back to visit a couple of times.
