Post by: bk on December 23, 2023, 12:17:46 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of a miraculous miracle and hopefully being on the mend, and now it is time for you to post until the miraculous cows come home.

BK's oatmeal comment in the notes made me realize I need some DR assistance:

I just ordered 48 packs of Quaker Instant Oatmeal (Apple Cinnamon), but I cannot read the instructions on the back of the packages; my eyes are no longer that sharp. What do they tell me to do? I'm sure it's as simple as "put oatmeal in bowl; add 1cup boiling water' let sit," but I need to know it all!

DR Elmore, I'm finding this online. Do you use the microwave?

How to cook Quaker Oatmeal packets

Microwave
Empty packet into microwave-safe bowl.
Add up to 3/4 cup unheated milk or water; stir. For your convenience, you can use the packet as a measuring cup.
Microwave on HIGH for 60 to 75 seconds.
Stir and let stand for 2 minutes.

Does that sound right according to what you've done in the past?

If no microwave, boil a cup of water, pour over oatmeal in bowl till it’s the consistency you like, wait a few minutes, eat. (Add raisins.)

TOD:

Sad to say, I LOVE Krispy Kreme glazed donuts.

I love apple fritters if they are fresh.

I love a croissant with chocolate inside (my Oakland patisserie called them "chocolatines").

I loved the patisserie's "morning buns"....the same kind of dough as was used for croissants but put into baking tins with loads of sugar and cinnamon.  Yum.

It is about a quarter past nine a.m., EST, and no one is here but me and ZERO guests.

Is everyone else napping still?

Are folks out and about doing last-minute whatever because tomorrow is Christmas Eve and the day after is the big holiday?

Is there something on TV that is drawing attention?

Inquiring mind, etc., etc., and so forth.

I slept very well.  I know I dreamed, but whatever I dreamed has evaporated.

I detected a small crick in the lower left of my back when I rolled over into a favorite position

I harkened to that small crick...not a sharp pain, no, but a sore spot.

I then remembered that I had been moving some heavy things around in my laundry room, and probably used some back muscles that have been unused for a while.

Listening to Ades’ Paradiso. It’s better than Purgatorio. But a little too minimalist for my taste. At the end of Purgatorio, he introduces a theme of ascending to heaven. He then uses that theme for much of the 26-minute Paradiso. I’ll go back to Inferno.

DR Elmore, I'm finding this online. Do you use the microwave?

How to cook Quaker Oatmeal packets

Microwave
Empty packet into microwave-safe bowl.
Add up to 3/4 cup unheated milk or water; stir. For your convenience, you can use the packet as a measuring cup.
Microwave on HIGH for 60 to 75 seconds.
Stir and let stand for 2 minutes.

Does that sound right according to what you've done in the past?


YES! Thank you so much. I can have oatmeal for breakfast tomorrow!

If no microwave, boil a cup of water, pour over oatmeal in bowl till it’s the consistency you like, wait a few minutes, eat. (Add raisins.)

I add dried cranberries.

Here’s a sax and piano version of Silent Night from Doc Watkins. It’s from his jazz club. In concert, the sax wailed a little louder. Both versions are great, but different.

Kristi is reading Christmas stories for kids - 15 stories underground - at (and in) Howe Caverns in upstate NY. That's Nathan on the right, I don't know who the others are.

Oh wait. I guess it's Santa and Mrs. Claus!

They got married there in 2012 (ceremony was above ground, though), and have maintained friendship with the couple who run the special events. They've been invited up a few times for one thing or another. It's a magnificent place, truly boggling.

Years and years ago, I bought a copy of BROADWAY by Brooks Atkinson.  I'm not sure if it was Half Price Books purchase or an internet purchase or what.

I knew it was a Reviewer's Copy because it had the MacMillan publishers blurb letter inside and a 5"x7" copy of a picture of Jason Robards, Jr, Colleen Dewhurst, and Ed Flanders in "A Moon For the Misbegotten."

The copyright page said it was a first edition of the 1974 revised version of the book.

I assumed it was a collection of his reviews.

Egg salad is still really chicken salad when you think about it.

I forgot the word eskimo is now verboten. I just heard a version of The Christmas Song “with folks dressed up in winter clothes.” Oy.

Oriental is also one of those verboten words. 

Probably not when you're talking about rugs.  I've never heard the term "Asian rug" on Antiques Roadshow.

I do know the Canadian Football League team, the Edmonton Eskimos, had to change their name to the Edmonton Elks. They went on to lose their next 20 games.

Oh, no! :o

What was also delicious was the news from our waitress that our dinner bill had been paid by someone who had just vacated the table behind us.

How nice!

I have developed a taste for Chex Mix this year.
Mom used to make it all the time.

My sister makes some and it's really good...much less sodium in her version than the purchased version, but I wouldn't refuse the purchased version. ;)

This version doesn’t have peanuts. I may have to add my own.

Peanut are always good in Chex Mix. :)

DR Rodzinski:  Has your photo always had that Photobucket logo over it?

No. I mean, not when I uploaded it 20 years ago back when you had to upload photos to a server like that. I don’t know if photobucket still exists.

How did their previous 20 games go?

Dunno. People just kept saying “They haven’t won since the name change.” Finally did win once or twice this season.

I do think the photobucket watermark was on my picture when I came back but that conspicuous stripe may be new? Maybe an update is the ticket in the new year.

I met my old lover on the street last night.
She seemed so glad to see me, I just smiled.

And we talked about some old times and we drank ourselves some beers.
Still crazy after all these years.
