One of my best friends, if not the best, is in a production of All's Well That Ends Well in Los Angeles, produced by the Portals of Hellsgate. The play is set in WW 1, and he's playing the ailing King of France, whom the heroine Helena cures. He wanted a wheelchair, but he found an old walker and painted it black, so he may look something like me hobbling about. A reviewer called him "majestic."

My dream, the only one I remember so far, was a middle of the night classic —

I’m walking down a city street heading back to where I’d parked my car, and suddenly I’m worried because I’d actually parked it a few days ago. I’m not sure if I’m looking in the right block or if the car has been towed, or even stolen. This time I see a guy vandalizing another car and I’m convinced that I am, in fact, in the right place, and I’m devastated to conclude that mine is gone. I usually wake up a little sooner from these, but at this point I did wake up for a moment, hugely relieved to find myself in bed.

This dream was, without question, brought on by my telling someone two days prior about the time in the mid-1990s that my car actually was towed because I’d parked in a spot in front of Academy Books and Records on W. 18th Street that was restricted.

Yes...yes, yes, yes, yes. yes!

I am always relieved to wake up after a dream like this one.

Does anyone ever dream they are driving down a road and find themselves facing a major hole or gap?  In my dreams, I don't have enough time to brake, so I think that I might make it if i accelerate but there is never an upslope to help me over.

I wake up rather rapidly after those nightmares.

Rodzinski, I have that album of Mardi Gras (https://castalbums.org/recordings/Mardi-Gras-1976-Original-London-Cast/1063/).  The book was written by Melvyn Bragg, who also wrote the original novel and the book to the musical The Hired Man (https://castalbums.org/shows/The-Hired-Man/1062/), about his grandfather.  He also co-wrote the screenplay to Jesus Christ Superstar. :)

Time Winters. We've been friends since Autumn 1979. I met him in Drama Book Shop. He was playing Arlecchino in Goldoni's Servantt of Two Masters and I helped him
 with commedia del'arte materials. I went to see the show, and then we started hanging out. He's a wonderful actor and a very dear friend. I've supported him through several girlfriends, and he's seen the absolute worst of me and still supports me. He moved to Los Angeles around 1986, He had played Sherlock Holmes in an off-off-Broadway showcase, got a great review in the NY Times, and the next day every agent in town who wouldn't see him in the past wanted to sign him.

Yesterday afternoon, dealing with health issues and cleanup, was hell. Today, so far, has been wonderful. The furst Access-a-Ride got me to the lab about 40 minutes early, There was no one waiting so they saw me immediately and also took care of the lab work for an appointment I have on this Friday, so that's now out of the way. I had an hour to wait for my return trip, so I called the dispatch and a ride arrived 20 minutes later.

From DR Ginny:

Quote
DR Jane, the realtor recommended at the end of August that we clear out, let her bring in a spruce-up crew, and then list the house.  That meant we didn’t have to keep it presentable AND pack for moving at the same time.

That is much easier than trying to keep a perfect house while preparing to move.

Quick selling vibes once your house is on the market!

I could do a delivery order but they tack on so many fees.

I think the earlier the better.  Many still have to work today and will hit the stores after they get off work - then it will be madness!

George, Dollar Tree carries the MrPlumber brand. I find that it does the job as well as the others. I’m looking for a less toxic alternative, though. I tried one of the enzyme drain cleaners several years ago, but it wasn’t effective. I see that there are many new ones available, but not for $1.25. I’ll keep looking. In the meantime it’s Mr Plumber.

I suppose you could put walnuts on the outside.  I've only used powdered sugar.  I also wouldn't want to eat it with any nuts. 

It is fairly easy.  Just doing the roll part is a bit more complicated.

Matthew, maybe next time you can make it real special and make it in a pan like THIS (https://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Ware-Cast-Castle-Bundt/dp/B000F5M044/):

This sort of worked... but it's what's going on the table tomorrow!


That actually looks pretty good, Matthew.

It does, and I am impressed you got it out of the pan in one piece.

LOL - I'm glad it looks that way - it was in three pieces and I just put them together.   The magic of the kitchen

I have never made a rolled cake. I think it would be a disaster. Maybe that will be my project on the day of the marathon when I'm trapped at home.

The trick is to make sure the pan is well greased so the cake doesn't stick to it.  Second trick is to use a good amount of powdered sugar on the towel, making sure there isn't any towel for the cake to stick to.  I find a sifter works well to coat the towel.

DR George, thanks for the wonderful photos of TCB!

I'm glad you liked them.  And I found out when the group photo was taken.  Sharry said that "the photo was taken at For Peter Pan, On Her 74th Birthday, the last show that Tom and I did together--an Off the Shelf." 
Title: Re: KABUKI TO THE RESCUE
Post by: George on November 22, 2023, 07:43:24 PM
An "Off the Shelf" was essentially a one-night-only semi-staged reading of a show where the actors perform with scripts in hand.  It was really well done.

It is an interesting shape, kind of nice vs just a casserole dish.  It doesn't look over cooked.

It was in a bundt pan that has a cool pattern in it.  You can sorta see it.  With the different colors in the stuffing, you can't really tell. 

I'd eat a chunk of it!!!

I bought gasoline today  for $3.059.

And I bought a $5 scratch off ticket and won $15 - the amount of gasoline I purchased.

I paid over $6/gal on Monday.

It’s $2.45 here now. Don’t know the Costco price.

In memory of TCB, here’s a Thanksgiving parade clip of Chayenne Jackson. With blond hair.

The ad ahead of the clip was for a stud finder. I thought that appropriate.

First joke - hmmm. I'm gonna say it was on Ed Sullivan and I'm gonna say I don't remember the comic and I'm gonna say it was sometime around 1959. Comic: These foreign cars today are so small that I stuck my arm out to make a left turn and two of 'em drove up my sleeve.

I thought that was pretty funny.

Good WC rehearsal.  I'm still struggling with my last monologue.  I know my lines fine, but on stage, I blank, all the time. It's gotta stop!!!   I, too, may have a martini this eve!

Kind of odd this year. Kids go to school in Canada where it’s just a normal day, so no real Thanksgiving in the air. Don’t have anyone visiting. Mrs R is off work, so we’ll go to lunch together tomorrow, a rare treat.

Rodzinski, is the Canadian Thanksgiving celebrated in a similar way as the American Thanksgiving?

Just noticed that Taco Bell has their rolled chicken taco thing again - they're really good, so - I just ordered some because - I'm hungry. I ate my pasta rather early and it wasn't huge, then had the not huge slice of cheesecake, so rolled tacos aren't too bad calorie-wise so why not.

And, of course, I never made the same mistake twice...so I know I knew all the lines.
