Well, link will NOT be live and who knows for how long because Doug has refused to update the software he uses and he's on some ancient version they haven't supported for years and now it won't open at all. He said they changed things in the new version and he didn't want to learn it. Well, that's just plain silly and now this. So, I believe he'll upgrade and have to learn the new stuff, but for getting this link up he can just call them and have them talk him through it and he can write down whatever's different about it. That was my strong advice.

In the meantime, you dear readers can, of course, order the book the other way by just going directly to PayPal.com, clicking on "send money" and putting in the total you're sending, which is $38 (includes priority postage) for the signed copy. It's easy as pie. Just make sure your address is showing and put what it's for. Many of you have done this many times. So, go.

TOD:  My current favorite hot dog is (or are?) the Pigs in a Blanket from the Brooklyn Diner on West 43rd Street near 7th Avenue.  I don't know why they don't call them Franks in a Blanket, but they're made with high quality hot dogs.

I really loved Nathan's hot dogs, but just don't seem to be able to find a convenient Nathan's around here these days.

Here's the musical from the SNL show about 50 years of New York
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8GbTZ8v1-w

Given today's HHW TOD, is it coincidence that the SNL musical starts with John Mulaney calling out "Hot dogs and heroin, get your hot dogs and heroin here" describing NYC in the 1970s.

In olden Middletown days, from sometime before I was old enough to know it existed to some time after I moved to NYC in 1979, there was a restaurant, Liberty, on Central Avenue in the downtown Middletown shopping/business district. I never ate there, so I can't say their menu was wonderful, but their famous takeout, their hot dogs, was beyond wonderful.

I've nevere tasted another one to compare to the Liberty's: it was more like a large Viennese sausage, and my family would call, place an order for 10-15, then drive down and pick them up. A Liberty hot dog "with everything" was essentially a chili dog, with mustard, possibly ketchup, chili, onions, and grated cheddar cheese. There were a bit of heaven for your tastebuds and I have never encountered one as wonderful ever since 1979.

I just googled "Middletown Ohio Liberty hotdog" and I found this chili recipe, supposedly from the Liberty's chef:

In a large heavy pot over medium heat add the following:
1 tablespoon oil
2 large onions finely chopped
¼ cup chili powder…1 tablespoon if kiddies are eating
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Cook about 5 minutes until you can smell the spices and onions are soft

Add
2 lbs of ground beef…double grind
Cook slowly until meat is not pink but not browned breaking up the meat to a fine mixture. You can use a potato masher if needed.
Cook about 10 to 15 minutes
Add:
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 1/2 to 2 cups of good beef broth
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 oz square unsweetened chocolate
2 bay leaves
1 can pinto chili beans**
1 tablespoon molasses or 1 heaping tablespoon dark brown sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Simmer for about two hours then remove bay leaves.

TOD: Being from Detroit, it has to be Detroit-style Coney Islands with Greek chili and onions. It usually comes with mustard but I prefer it without. There were two classic places next door to each other, Lafayette and American, and we were a Lafayette house. When I'm not in Detroit, it turns out that Steve's Snappin' Dogs in the Denver airport does something reasonably close, even if they call it a Dallas Dog.
Title: Re: PRE-ORDER LINK FOR THE NEW BOOK IS LIVE
Post by: MichaelG on February 17, 2025, 08:35:49 AM
But it looks like Steve is retiring due to health issues, so the airport location might be closing in 2026 when the lease is up. They've already closed their city location.

Starting a Cary Grant-John Garfield war movie called Destination Toyko. I guess in honor of Grant playing Cole Porter, the movie’s soundtrack begins with a hot version of Blow, Gabriel, Blow.
Title: Re: PRE-ORDER LINK FOR THE NEW BOOK IS LIVE
Post by: ChasSmith on February 17, 2025, 08:48:16 AM
Too many tasty hot dogs to name, but a few absolute favorites:

Chicago hot dogs with the usual works, nothing held back.
Chili, cheese and onion, or even just chili and onion. Best I've had are at the original Coney Island Nathan's.
Cincinnati-style Coney which is made with the Cincinnati chili-type of, you know, chili.
Sauerkraut, etc. Oh, the list goes on. And I haven't experimented nearly as much as I'd like to.

It's great to have them out somewhere, but I can, and do, make all of the above at home. When ordering them, I take them however they're prepared. At home, I love to put them on the grill and get some char* for even more flavor.

*You can't have Charles without some char.

DR Elmore, that recipe sounds fantastic.

At a glance, it seems quite Cincinnati-style inspired, which would make sense, given the geography.

I'm of the school that doesn't put ketchup on hot dogs. To me, it's a mustard kind of meat. BUT...

I am open to trying other peoples' preferences, and last summer I made myself a plain hot dog putting just mustard and ketchup on it, not too much of each, I wasn't trying to drown it, and it was very yummy.

Post by: John G. on February 17, 2025, 08:55:45 AM
I love a good hot dog, but I rarely go out of my way for them, except at Costco. They are unbeatable at the price. I love ‘em with mustard, relish and onions when available. They used to offer sauerkraut, but no more.

Nathan’s and Gray’s Papaya Dog in the city. A dog with tomato and onions sauce at Shea Stadium. A loaded Chicago dog.

So, this morning, for my MONDAY kind of fun, I went outside and started up one of the chainsaws and cut back the part of a fallen tree that was part way across the driveway.

Last night's storm was horrible, and the following winds are still with us. This part of the world has become Wind Central, and we do not like it one bit. We here in this area have PTSD from the microburst (with embedded twisters) of 2018 that did such horrible damage. And since then, it seems like whenever storms kick up, winds are routinely more of a threat than they ever used to be. Anyhoo, this particular winter storm had everything:  snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain, winds gusting up to 50 mph and more, and there are limbs down and trees down everywhere. I hope we have no more than this single one.

San Antonio has its own regional treat called a crispy dog. You take your cooked hot dog, roll it in a corn tortilla and the fry it. Serve it scalding hot with mustard to dip it into. Spectacular.

I love that $1.50 Costco hot dog and soda deal, too, but I've only gotten it a couple of times since they stopped having onions. I keep meaning to complain about that, but usually when I'm in there I just want to make my purchase and get out, and I haven't gotten around to it.

I don't think I said this the other day, but that's a fine book cover, BK.

As one of the proofers for the second and third Harry Stearns mysteries, I also have to say I especially enjoyed this one's L.A. and Las Vegas settings, and the fact that it takes place during my own years out there. I was hardly a regular Vegas-goer, but I wish I had been one to some extent, to have better soaked up the edgy fun atmosphere of the place before it became Disney-Corporate-Vegas. Anyhoo, y'all have some fun reading to look forward to.

I called my doctor about Paxlovid. Office is closed for the holiday.

CVS can prescribe paxlovid. I have a voicemail in and waiting for a response.

Hope they call you back soon! 

Good to know CVS can be a prescriber for some prescriptions.

Today is also National Cabbage Day.

If I have another salad tonight it will be made with cabbage.


For some reason, I don't usually like cabbage, but when it's in a deep-fried egg roll from the Chinese restaurant, cabbage is really tasty.  Maybe ordering an egg roll is called for on National Cabbage Day.

That works.

You didn't like stuffed cabbage when you were young?

IIRC, I liked everything it was stuffed with, so I ate the inside when it was served.

I'm trying to think whether my parents ever actually made stuffed cabbage, or if we just brought it in from outside.  My grandmother (Dad's mom) made stuffed cabbage, though.

In the meantime, you dear readers can, of course, order the book the other way by just going directly to PayPal.com, clicking on "send money" and putting in the total you're sending, which is $38 (includes priority postage) for the signed copy. It's easy as pie. Just make sure your address is showing and put what it's for. Many of you have done this many times. So, go.

I thought most Jewish families ate it.  I rarely made the vegetarian version when the kids were young, more because I lost the recipe for my mother's sauce than the lack of meat.  When Craig lived in Romania it was very popular there and he created a delicious vegetarian version.

Elmore, you are our resident Victor Herbert expert. Have you seen this Red Mill TV production with Nichols and May that's been discussed on castrecl? Sounds fascinating in a way that train wrecks can be.
Here's the IMDB info on the show:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0352767/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cdt_eps_tt_1

I would say this broadcast is to the original Victor Herbert m,usical co,medy as Donald Trump is to a person of ethics and decency.  The original musical was about two "Broadway" New Yorkers - almost Damon Runyan types - stuck in Holland with no monery to get home. It's very funny with them in various disguises such as waiters and tour guides while they help a ship's captain and his fiancee escape her father's disapproval, rescue the fiancee from the supposedly haunted red mill; fall in love; and meet Sherelock Holmes.

Since I cannot find a list of what sonmgs were used in the 1958 broadcast, I have no idea what they did to the score.
Title: Re: PRE-ORDER LINK FOR THE NEW BOOK IS LIVE
Post by: elmore3003 on February 17, 2025, 11:17:44 AM
I was 11 in April, 1958, sixth grade in school, and this Red Mill broadcast was something I wanted to see. I vaguely remember the advertising for it. It was one of those 9-11:00 things, as I recall, and my bedtime was something like 8:30. I think my mother would have liked my brother Macbeth and me in bed by 4:00 if she could manage it.

I digress. There was no way the Red Mill and my bedtime could coincide so I missed it.

I just googled "Middletown Ohio Liberty hotdog" and I found this chili recipe, supposedly from the Liberty's chef:

In a large heavy pot over medium heat add the following:
1 tablespoon oil
2 large onions finely chopped
¼ cup chili powder…1 tablespoon if kiddies are eating
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Cook about 5 minutes until you can smell the spices and onions are soft

Add
2 lbs of ground beef…double grind
Cook slowly until meat is not pink but not browned breaking up the meat to a fine mixture. You can use a potato masher if needed.
Cook about 10 to 15 minutes
Add:
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 1/2 to 2 cups of good beef broth
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 oz square unsweetened chocolate
2 bay leaves
1 can pinto chili beans**
1 tablespoon molasses or 1 heaping tablespoon dark brown sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Simmer for about two hours then remove bay leaves.

This sounds great Larry, but to what do the two asterisks after the "1 can pinto chili beans**" refer?

I love a good hot dog, but I rarely go out of my way for them, except at Costco. They are unbeatable at the price. I love ‘em with mustard, relish and onions when available. They used to offer sauerkraut, but no more.

So, this morning, for my MONDAY kind of fun, I went outside and started up one of the chainsaws and cut back the part of a fallen tree that was part way across the driveway.

Last night's storm was horrible, and the following winds are still with us. This part of the world has become Wind Central, and we do not like it one bit. We here in this area have PTSD from the microburst (with embedded twisters) of 2018 that did such horrible damage. And since then, it seems like whenever storms kick up, winds are routinely more of a threat than they ever used to be. Anyhoo, this particular winter storm had everything:  snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain, winds gusting up to 50 mph and more, and there are limbs down and trees down everywhere. I hope we have no more than this single one.

Oh, my goodness! :o

I love that $1.50 Costco hot dog and soda deal, too, but I've only gotten it a couple of times since they stopped having onions. I keep meaning to complain about that, but usually when I'm in there I just want to make my purchase and get out, and I haven't gotten around to it.

The Costcos around here have little takeaway cups with onions.  Although you don't get a lot of onions, you actually get enough...and you can grab a couple of the cups to be used in other dishes at home later. ;)

The casual homophobia in this version of The Front Page hasn't aged well. Wilder's insistence that the actors not talk over the top of each other was outdated and topped by His Girl Friday years before.

But the cast is great. Every minor character from Susan Sarandon to Charles Durning is perfectly cast. Austin Pendleton, David Wayne, Harold Gould, Vincent Gardenia, Herb Edelman and Carol Burnett all joyful.

One missed show that I remember was at age 10, and my parents had heard that "All In the Family" needed parental supervision for pre-teens, because there were issues like bigotry that might need parental guidance for youngsters.  But they had to be out the night "All In the Family" debuted.  They told my brother who was then 16 not to let me watch the show and he took the instruction seriously.  By the following week, the family was watching "All In the Family" together. 

Ironically (I think it's an irony), as the series went on, Archie Bunker became more lovable.  But when we saw that first episode, I think my folks were glad they didn't let me at 10 watch that episode without them in the room.

After Archie Bunker became more lovable in later seasons, it was strange in reruns seeing how repugnant the character's bigotry had been in the first several episodes.

How long was it between your two vaccinations?

I just googled "Middletown Ohio Liberty hotdog" and I found this chili recipe, supposedly from the Liberty's chef:

In a large heavy pot over medium heat add the following:
1 tablespoon oil
2 large onions finely chopped
¼ cup chili powder…1 tablespoon if kiddies are eating
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Cook about 5 minutes until you can smell the spices and onions are soft

Add
2 lbs of ground beef…double grind
Cook slowly until meat is not pink but not browned breaking up the meat to a fine mixture. You can use a potato masher if needed.
Cook about 10 to 15 minutes
Add:
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 1/2 to 2 cups of good beef broth
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 oz square unsweetened chocolate
2 bay leaves
1 can pinto chili beans**
1 tablespoon molasses or 1 heaping tablespoon dark brown sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Simmer for about two hours then remove bay leaves.

This sounds great Larry, but to what do the two asterisks after the "1 can pinto chili beans**" refer?

There was no explanation in the original post. I'm guessing it means "opt5ional" since I do not remember beans in the chili on the Liberty hot dogs.


That makes sense.  Thanks, Larry

Book ordered.

As one of the proofers, let me back ip ChasSmith’s earlier comments about what fun this book is. Like retired detective Harry Stearns, I hate Vegas. But I loved BK’s recreation of world that exists no longer, a world of glamour and glitz, with something sinister not too far below the surface. There’s even a Sondheim reference or two, making the Easter eggs worth the hunt. But it’s the relationship between Harry and his secretary Bernice that I enjoyed the most.

So, I just opened it to try one - as you know, all containers like that have a cardboard or aluminum security top that you have to remove, just so you know no one has been in there. Well, someone had been in there, all right, cut the aluminum and then either grabbed a few or did who knows what else to them - I wasn't about to find out. I called Instacart, they gave me an instant credit, I placed the order for just that item and they'll deliver it - total cost to me for the delivery - .49.

ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL had yet another fine episode, with the darkness of the lead character's guilt over being let out of military service mixing well with the overall heartwarming nature of the show.

But that show's current season will be over soon.  I'll miss it during the long wait for the next season.

The new Criterion release of Winchester 73 looks great, but the extras are not altogether interesting. There is a short documentary on Anthony Mann’s movies with James Stewart. It features a lot of talking heads and a lot of info.

Laura, that’s a great story. But it’s going to ruin the ending for the girl. She’ll have only seen part one.

She could just leave at intermission, like some people I'd read about did after the first act of Into the Woods.

Here's an interesting one: My Instacart order from yesterday from Walmart included some Tillamook beef sticks that come in a plastic container with a screw-off and on top. So, I just opened it to try one - as you know, all containers like that have a cardboard or aluminum security top that you have to remove, just so you know no one has been in there. Well, someone had been in there, all right, cut the aluminum and then either grabbed a few or did who knows what else to them - I wasn't about to find out. I called Instacart, they gave me an instant credit, I placed the order for just that item and they'll deliver it - total cost to me for the delivery - .49.

It's also possible that that happened in the store.  I've come across a couple of items (fortunately, only a couple) in the last several years where the item on the shelf (and before I had purchased them) had been opened and partially eaten. :P
