Title: TAKING THE BULL BY THE HORNS
Post by: bk on July 30, 2006, 12:47:29 AM: Well, you've read the notes, you've taken the notes by the horns, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're trying to take the bull by the horns but, you know, they're cows, so they should just give it up.

Is that anything like a garlic pill??

Function: noun
Etymology: pilled garlic
1 a : a bald head b : a bald-headed man
2 : a man looked upon with humorous contempt or mock pity

Title: Re:TAKING THE BULL BY THE HORNS
Post by: George on July 30, 2006, 01:06:09 AM: A Word of the Day calendar is just that...a desktop calendar (usually) that defines a different word for every day of the year. You rip off a page each day and for each date, there's a word that's not commonly used, so that people can expand their vocabulary. Here's a picture:

Gee, has anyone heard the rumor that Broadway's Tarzan is gay?

Post by: Cillaliz on July 30, 2006, 06:28:26 AM: Good morning all! It is very early here in LA, but my body is still on central time and since that's where it will soon be going, I'm not going to sleep any more.

I had a very lovely time with BK. I enjoyed the Three Men and a Baby Grand. The halibut at Cafe Figero was great as was the pie (I had the apple, bk the chocolate cream) at House of Pies and the yellow cab couldn't have been quicker to get there to take me back to my hotel. It was a most delightful evening. I posted a photo last night, so you'll have to look at yesterday's discussion to see it

Post by: elmore3003 on July 30, 2006, 08:20:35 AM: Good morning, all! I slept way too late for a trek to Toyland, so I think I will do laundry and tidy up my space. Beyond that, I don't have many other plans for the day: I might have a meeting with Klea Blackhurst's conductor about fixes to a chart, and I may escape the heat and go to a movie. Matthew and I set a tentative date for Tuesday to see LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, and I missed two films I wanted to see last weekend because of my cold.

Then, again, I may stay in all day and avoid the hellish temperatures. Such a quandary! Laundry is definite, as long as the power and Con Ed don't fail me.

LACC is indeed just down the street from Cafe Figaro and House of Pies - on Vermont just south of Santa Monica Blvd. The great thing is that there's a subway stop a half-block from the campus, as well as a subway stop at Sunset for the House of Pies.

Cillaliz called Yellow Cab to book her ride back to downtown (not like NY - there are no cabs roaming the LA streets). She was told that they could give her no ETA as to the cab's arrival. That was annoying and we had no idea how long we'd be waiting. The cab arrived thirty seconds later.

Well... I just stepped outside to see what it was like out there right now, and it wasn't that bad. Yet. I did just check the forecast, and the high is supposed to hit 90 - it's about 85 now - but the humidity is supposed to relatively low, so that "heat index" will be be low(er) too. However, over the next three days, temps close to 100 - actual and perceived - are in the forecast. :-\

Post by: bk on July 30, 2006, 11:04:45 AM: I just made a big decision. I'm putting the new book on hold until January. That was also a suggestion from Margaret, and as I thought about it I realized that I should never have started it now. First off, I have to start another project, then there's the rewrite of The Brain, and then there's doing The Brain. And most importantly, I always start a new book right after the first of the year. I just finished the short stories five months ago, so that's this year's book. So, what I'll do is put myself into the new mode in terms of the book's changes, and I'll make notes and be totally ready to go in January. As I've said, I love the idea of the book and there's just no reason to try and do these changes now as it requires a whole different mindset and a new set of notes about the beginning third of the book. So, January it is. I feel ever so much better and I may start on the new project today or tomorrow.

Garlic ice cream, anyone?
Since you ask...

GARLIC ICE CREAM!!!

Ingredients
5 heads of garlic (heads, not cloves)

2 tbsp. butter

1 litre half-and-half cream

1/2 cup sugar

4 egg yolks

Roast the five heads of garlic: peel off the outer skin but leave cloves intact and attached. Arrange on a double thickness of foil, put about 1/2 tbsp. of butter on top of each, wrap up tightly and bake in a 350-degree oven for an hour. Cut the tips off the cloves, still attached in the head shape, and squeeze out the roasted garlic puree. You'll get perhaps 1/2 to 3/4 cup in total.

Mix the cream and sugar in a saucepan, heat to the boiling point and pour it over the egg yolks while whisking briskly. Put about a cup of the cream into a blender with the garlic puree and blend for about fifteen seconds to make sure there are no lumps of garlic. Mix in the rest of the cream, let cool, and use with your favourite ice-cream maker.

(The preceeding was found on the net. I cannot guarantee the results. ;D)

Post by: FJL on July 30, 2006, 11:57:43 AM: The GARLIC ICE CREAM DIET

SInce it's a two part episode (part one was the season cliffhanger and part two opened the second season), I skipped it and went straight to the special features.

Lots of interesting "making of" featurettes on the real Allison DuBois, her husband, etc. and how the casting, etc. for the show took place. Really enjoyed all of these behind the scenes features including the gag reel.

They have a LOT of injured players and are not doing as well as they have in the past. They are, however, still in the top four for the Western Division, so there's hope...but not a lot. But I hope it's a good game. Later!

Lanza was magnetic in this despite being "green" about acting before a camera. And the Helen Rose gown that Grayson wears for the final number is SO stunning.

The print screened on TCM had some damage, but oh, was that Technicolor stunning. Wow!

Porcupine Pie Lyrics
Artist(Band):Neil Diamond

Porcupine Pie, Porcupine Pie, Porcupine Pie
Vanilla Soup, a double scoop please
No, maybe I won't, maybe I won't, maybe I will
The tutti fruit with fruity blue cheese

Ah, but Porcupine Pie, Porcupine Pie, Porcupine Pie
Don't let it get on your jeans
And though it sounds a little strange
Well, you gotta eat it with gloves
Or your hands will turn green

Ah, but porcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie,
It weaves its way through my dreams,
And I do believe I'm gonna have one and
Leave enough room for dessert, chicken ripple ice cream.

I've had Garlic Ice Cream. It really isn't that bad. It's interesting, but in a good way. At least to me.

However, my favorite savory ice cream flavor has to be the Olive Oil Ice Cream served at Zaytinya in Washington, DC. Quite amazing. And it's usually served next to a scoop of their Black Walnut Ice Cream, very complementary.

Post by: JoseSPiano on July 30, 2006, 04:20:00 PM: It really wasn't that "bad" an afternoon weather-wise to walk around NYC. It was warm/hot, but the humidity was very low, and I felt pretty comfortable while doing some more exploring on foot.

My original plan after finishing my errand in midtown was to head back to the Village to this falafel place that I've become a great fan of this past week, Taïm. -It's right next door to Rattlestick Theatre - and it also just got a nice write-up in the Times this past week too. Well, when I got off the train at 14th Street, I emerged from the ground and stepped right in the middle of a street fair. It seemed to be dedicated to the culture of Mexico. So, after some perusing some of the various foodstalls, I decided to forgo the falafel, and instead I sampled some tacos al carbon, pupusas, huaraches and horchata. It was all quite muy bueno, and I believe I fulfilled my body's masa quotient for the year (well, at least the month ;-)) Best of all, I didn't spend more than $10.00 for all the food I consumed.

:)
Title: Re:TAKING THE BULL BY THE HORNS
Post by: JoseSPiano on July 30, 2006, 04:26:58 PM: After consuming the Mexican food, I went ahead and took a jaunt down 4th Street through the Village where there was another street fair on Christopher Street. Then over to Washington Square Park. Then down to SoHo. Then over to Little Italy where all the streets were blocked off for yet another street fair.

Thankfully(?), I was still full from my Mexican feast, that I was able to resist all those foodstalls. -However, I did get two containers of rice pudding from Rice To Riches - pina colada, and chocolate hazelnut - for consumption later. :)

...Then I head back west via Canal, then back up through SoHo... Then I finally hopped on the A at 4th Street when I realized my feet needed a rest.

All in all, a very nice day out.

If you listen carefully, you'll be able to hear her no matter where you are. And that's without amplification. (Technically, she'll be at the Ravina from the 11th through the 13th.)

I'm trying to imagine putting Patti in a vocal competition with Betty Buckley.

On the Amazon Lyrics
Artist(Band):Don McLean

On the Amazon Lyrics

There's a danger zone, not a stranger zone
Than the little plot I walk on that I call my home
Full of eerie sights, weird and skeery sights
Ev'ry vicious animal that creeps and crawls and bites!!

On the Amazon, the prophylactics prowl On the Amazon, the hypodermics howl On
the Amazon, you'll hear a scarab scowl and sting zodiacs on the wing

All the stalactites and vicious vertebrae
Hunt the stalagmites while laryngitis slay
All that parasites that come from Paraguay in the spring
Hmm, hmm hmmm

Snarling equinox among the rocks will seize you
And the fahrenheit comes out at night to freeze you

Wild duodenum are lurking in the trees
And the jungle swarms with green apostrophes
Oh, the Amazon is calling me

On the Amazon, the pax vobiscum bite
On the Amazon, the epiglottis fight
On the Amazon, the hemispheres at night all slink where the agnostics drink

All the hippodromes that lie concealed in mud
Hunt the metronomes that live in swamp and flood
Then the kodachromes run out and drink their blood, poor ginks

While velocipedes among the weeds will scare you
And the menopause with hungry jaws ensnares you

Frenzied adenoids infest the hills and slopes
Everyone avoids the deadly stethoscopes

Oh, the Amazon is calling
Yes, the Amazon is calling
Oh, the Amazon is calling me-ee!!

I began with THE DORIS MARY ANN KAPPLEHOFF SPECIAL, Doris Day's first TV special. My memory was that it was all lip-synched and full of filtered photography. I had a VERY faulty memory. I was surprised at the amount of "live" singing Doris (and Perry Como) did. Really enjoyed seeing this again.

I was quite disappointed that the ensemble wasn't given any billing in the credits (just like the danicing ensemble got nothing in LIZA WITH A 'Z.') I believe the taller of the two dancers in "Gypsy in My Soul" was Garrett Lewis, but I sure would have loved some confirmation of that in the credits.

I think Dog Bosco had a blast on this, his first trip (so far as I know), to Southern Oregon.

At my nephew Jeffery's wedding reception at the Touvelle Park on Saturday (the wedding was last month in Hawaii) little kids were constantly requesting to take Bosco on walks, which my dog loved every minute of! He was quite an attention getter. there were 3 other dogs in attendance, but the kids really seemed to prefer Bosco's mild mannered company. Of course I was very proud of how well behaved he was and what great care the various and sundried kids took of him.

Bosco was getting a lot of hugs and pats on the head that day!

DR Jane just gets sweeter and more lovely every time I see her and DH Keith is a fantastic guy! I can see why Jane has kept him around all of these years! They make such a perfect team!

Dog Bosco loved walking on the trail and if dogs could smile, his would have been from ear to ear! When Jane and Keith arrived Bosco made a beeline for Keith and after much petting he then made his way over to Jane! Bosco is such a social guy!

Thanks! It has been very good. My foot even felt well enough to walk for miles and miles. That's a first since about February.

I don't think BK willl mind me saying he looks MUCH thinner than he does in the DECEIT dvd.

You lucky lady, you got to meet the svelte BK... I am glad you had a wonderful time and enjoyed the show...

sorry to have bene E&T but due to living in an apartment with no AC I have been hding a bit in cooler places and this week spending time iwth my dad. He is holding his own but only time will tell.

Last night, DH Richard and DS Rob assembled our new Skyline bookcase from Levenger (http://www.levenger.com). It's now in place in the corner, filled with CD's. Ours is like the darker one in this photo:

Those are gorgeous...

I love the simple lines

Post by: bk on July 30, 2006, 09:47:53 PM: I watched most of both twist movies last week, MBarnum, but haven't finished them. Haven't gotten Vera yet.

I'm just nosing around the Internet and being lazy right now. Lethargy has set in. I feel a frenzy or three would get me out of my energy haze.

What I discovered is that five nights in a NYC hotel in October would cost be the same amount of money that I pay for two months rent on my apartment. Very depressing!

Post by: Cillaliz on July 30, 2006, 10:43:35 PM: Hi all, I am very very tired and I haven't read the posts, but wanted to let you know I'm home. I voluntarily got bumped in Denver (it was too hot to have the plane take off with a full load) and got a free round trip ticket on United. So that's cool, but as a result I got home very late and must get some sleep now

Further research shows that the Japanese are far more fluent in ice cream (http://bertc.com/japanese_ice_creams.htm) than even I would have guessed.

Sounds like the special edition Harry Potter Jelly Bellies with special flavors like vomit and booger...well, not exactly, but sort of. ;)

Congrats on the free round trip ticket!! When my aunts travel, always volunteer to get bumped.

Anyway, they aren't completely out of the playoffs, but they pretty much have to win EVERY game that they have left to play.

Post by: George on July 31, 2006, 12:07:55 AM: After the game, my niece and I went to Tower Records and I got a couple of CDs. One was "An Awfully Big Adventure: The Best of Peter Pan, 1904-1996" and the original cast recording of [title of show]. I'll listen to both of them tomorrow at work. I might even bring BK's very own "The Musical Adventures of Peter Pan." I also have both Bernstein recordings and one of the Cathy Rigby recordings and of course, Mary Martin's recording. ;D
Title: Re:TAKING THE BULL BY THE HORNS
Post by: George on July 31, 2006, 12:10:32 AM: I just remembered that I only have the Mary Martin version on LP and not CD. Hmmm...I may have to remedy that.
