Title: RANCID NUTMEATS
Post by: bk on October 29, 2010, 12:18:08 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes were healthy and tasted like rancid nutmeats, and now it is time for you to post until the rancid cows come home.

I started last night and will move onto the weekend to relieve myself of most of my dvds & blu rays.

Keeping my favorites and then going back and see what I really want. Then I'll try to sell them on Ebay.

This has been harder to do over the years, so I will try to sell them as one package. This way one person will get the whole lot and I don't have to deal with multiple sales.

next up will be cds and books (The books I will probably donate to the Stonewall Library.) I will keep all my rare first edition books written by Bruce Kimmel.

Good morning, all! The alarm went off at 6:15, and the Oaf Above Me arrived home at almost exactly the same time.  He's been wandering around above me for the past 30 minutes as I sort laundry, which will go into the washers in about ten minutes from now. When I return from the laundromat, I will cart these nine cartons - I packed another one last night - into the hall for Fed Ex pickup.

Following that, i've got some mopping and vacuuming to do before I start typing up notes for both the Herbert recording and the Herbert shows.

The other day I got this "emergency" email from Ann Hampton Callaway about a concert with the Minnesota Symphony and possible work; I've emailed her twice and received no response. I guess it wasn't that huge an emergency, but I am a bit puzzled by her disappearance.

Vegan fare should not be called food.

Sorry to hear about the demise of DR LAURA'S caterpillars - most distressing.....and DR MBARNUM's crushed posters and the planter he mailed, more distress!

But reading about Little Ricky's adventures helped to balance things out....and then I watched PWOJECT WUNWAY to see the most outrageous win in 8 seasons, and have to rethink watching the next cycle.

I was going to start in on the Sondheim book last night at bedtime, but the print is indeed very small and there's a LOT of it and I was getting bleary-eyed.  I'll need to get a brighter bulb for my nightstand lamp.

BK, do not kid yourself that all health food is low-calorie.  It isn't.  Just because it tastes bad, doesn't mean it's good for you.  Go out and have a healthy slab of bacon.  In fact, put bacon in everything you eat today.  Bacon makes everything taste better!

DRs Jane and Cillaliz were mentioning the 3rd Millenium movie.  My library has not gotten any new movies in months (because they spend all their movie budget earlier in the year). But for some reason yesterday they got like 20 new movies. And Millenium 3 is one of them. Yeah! I reserved that one. So depending on how many people reserved it before me I should have it next week!

It's funny, but I had a conversation just yesterday with someone about vegan food and how dreadful it is. We were lamenting something called parsnip bacon that was mentioned in the new Food & Wine. At least this dish wasn't trying to be bacon, merely something like a chip and it wasn't tortured into being something it was not.
Title: Re: RANCID NUTMEATS
Post by: John G. on October 29, 2010, 08:49:21 AM
The raw food movement, which is largely vegan, though some eat raw-milk cheeses and raw seafood, has plenty of amazing recipes that rely on the bold flavors of real food. Soups, salads, all sorts of wonderful ingredients from avocados to zucchini, and nothing to resemble tofurky in the lot.

Reminds me of a scene on the TV show "King of the Hill." Hank Hill has to change his diet, so he goes to the health food store. He's at the "deli."

Clerk: ... And here we have tofu and faux-fu for the tofu-intolerant.

Hank: Do you have anything back there that tastes good?

Clerk: (Long pause.) Mmm. Nope.

I don't begrudge anyone being a vegetarian or a vegan and I'm sure there are creative and good ways of preparing foods - but vegan is so extreme and I don't like extreme in food, even though others do.  But that stuff is just not for me.  I can eat a nice salad and I can go without red meat and I can even JUST eat salads and that sort of thing for a few days.  The fact is, I don't eat nearly as much meat as I used to, as in every day.  I mostly eat chicken and fish now, along with eggs and stuff.

I added some new police drama called DETROIT 187 (or something like that.) Have not decided if I will stick with it or not...for now it is a good substite for SOUTHLAND and THE CLOSER, until those shows starts up again.

Last night we had a chili feed / chili contest at our apartment building. Good food and good company! 3 of the four ladies (Vee, Sally, and Virginia) who live along my wing of the 4th floor were there, so I mostly hung out with them...I have really nice neighbors.

I also met Sudhir and Krishna, both from from India, Ramos from Colombia, and Mira (and her 5 year old daughter Miju) from South Korea.

We voted for best chili and there was a scary noise contest which was judged by little Miju. Miju gave the award for scariest noise to the other 5 year old girl who was there. Personally,  I think the whole thing was rigged.

It is very difficult to adjust eating habits as you all know.  Some foods can be substituted and with others it doesn't work.  Vegetarian restaurants I've been to also had creative dishes that did not resemble meat dishes at all.

Ok, I finally have some time to catch everyone up. 

As I mentioned, tonight is the orchestra sing through. Everyone is excited.  I am excited, also - but I'm trying not to think about it too much.  I still have a pit that's too small, and some "holes" in the orchestra that I need to fill (from instruments we are not using).  But I know it's going to be amazing.

The set issue is being dealt with.  The TD and I had a meeting yesterday, it all went well.  I have hopes.

The cast is fantastic and are real troopers.  My Norma is a pro and rolls with all the punches and is a real team player.  We are so fortunate.

The show is blocked, but some of the "moments" aren't there yet.  A lot can happen with the addition of sets and costumes, so we'll see how it goes. 

We tech tomorrow and Sunday.  I love the process where everything comes together.  I am confident that we'll have an easy weekend.  Like I mentioned, the TD is great and our lighting designer is one of the best.  I couldn't be more blessed to be surrounded by such talented people.

The costumes... OH THE COSTUMES.  Our amazing costume designer loves this show and it really shows in her design.  Norma's clothes are amazing. Simple, yet amazing.  And the rest of the cast looks great, also.

The one thing left is to complete the projections, which I'm working on as well as another person who is putting together the car chase.  I predict that this issue might be number focus in the next few days.  I'm hoping for the best.

Now, I'm off to make some magic in the pit - trying to make space, that is. 

More later... (and definitely pictures and some sound links in the next few days)

The Fed Ex man was great! The nine cartons are out of my apartment and the actor playing Ben Stone in the Kennedy Center production of FOLLIES is stopping by to return some CDs.
And Gregory H. has played Benjamin Stone in "Follies." So, all the world is a circle. Wait, wrong musical. Severely wrong musical.

I think what I object to is taking foods and trying to make them into something else. If you are vegan and opposed to eating pig, why would you create something that reminds you of bacon? Why make mayonnaise that has no eggs in it?

Because if you previously ate those foods you still miss the taste.  I eat soy bacon & hot dogs occasionally when I can find the brands I like. 

I miss the taste of coffee, but decaf can't replicate the mouthfeel of fully caffeinated, so I drink something else. Likewise, carob tastes nothing like chocolate. Carob tastes more like dirt than anything else. And since I'm from Kentucky, I do know what dirt tastes like.

Rates vary all the time.  I would check the internet for sales & see who has the best price.  A smaller car will cost less.  Expedia or Travelocity might have better prices but don't count on it.  Always compare the discount sites to what the rental companies have.

How is he refusing? Does he scream "No no" when you carry him up the stairs? I wanna know!

I just spent a delightul 30 minutes watching some familiar old coot play a high school principal with a stick up his butt. It was a charming performance.

Pretty much, lol...it's more like MEOW!! ME-OW!! M-E-O-O-O-O-W!!!  Then he sits in his room and howls at the door.   I have given in twice and gone to get him. I'm not going to this time.  He needs to calm down for the night. He's so excited and So wound up.  He's had a great time but it's time to calm down. 

I went up and sat with him for a while and he calmed down and almost fell asleep, but now he's at it again. I hate to be mean, but I'm not going to leave him out overnight until the girls are more accepting.    So i'm going to ignore it

I must say that cat has a ton of energy.  I think he'll mellow out when I can finally get him neutered.

We had a cat that did the opposite after he was neutered.  Vibes it works!

He's also wound up because he's been in that room alone for the past three weeks.  I will say he goes down the steps a lot slower after that first trip that left him plopped on the floor.  He backs down whenever one of the girls hisses and growls at him.  He'll be fine

He was very good, but Boo was really upset, so I let him wander for awhile and put him back upstairs.  Now both girls are sniffing all over the living room.  That's what I need them to do. They need to get used to his scent.

Oh it's terrible, they've even put animals to death because they weren't registered.   They originally didn't allow people to find out of town homes for the dogs.  They were going to repeal it, but then amended it so that dogs at the pound and others can at least have someone out of town adopt the dogs.

My library seems to have lost 3 of my movie reservations. :(

It sort of sucks because we're not allowed to reserve movies, unless we suggest them. But we have to do this on slips of paper. I guess it's a miracle they don't lose more of the slips.

It will probably turn out okay. Every other time this has happened they've always given me the reservation (since they know me and I keep a detailed list of everything i request). it's just a pain.

There was no result today.  So there will be another hearing- one at least, I guess.

On another note, I've got to rent a car in Ohio and I need to know the DRs' opinions on the best and least expensive rentals. I thought the car I rented two years ago was way too high for a week, but I can't remember which company I used!

Rates vary all the time.  I would check the internet for sales & see who has the best price.  A smaller car will cost less.  Expedia or Travelocity might have better prices but don't count on it.  Always compare the discount sites to what the rental companies have.

Ditto.  *There are some AFM discounts out there too via Union Plus.  Just check AFM.org for details.  You can also call some of the car rental agencies directly and ask about their discounts for Union members.

Back from the staged reading which was hardly that - more like a sort of community theater level workshop - all the wrong things - props, miming doors, just ridiculous - these things are supposed to be about the material, not silly and unnecessary props.

I'm now leaving work to work concessions for a performance by Ruthie Foster and Eric Bibb called Thanks for the Joy (http://wcpa.squarespace.com/upcoming-events/2010/10/29/thanks-for-the-joy.html).  It sounds like it'll be a swell evening. :)

Until later!

I didn't stay for the whole show, but Ruthie Foster and Eric Bibb were both very good.  Eric went first and did his set.  Ruthie's set was after the intermission.  Eric play the blues on his guitars and sang and Ruthie had a small but loud and energetic combo.  The couple of songs of hers that I listened to were very good and high energy.  He was very good also, but more mellow and of course, bluesy.
