Well, you've read the noets, the noets were surreal, and now it is time for you to post until the surreal cows come home.

Good morning, all! I slept past 9 am, but I am now bathed and dressed. I have some time to spend at the NYPL at Lincoln Center today, and I hope to head down there around 11, stop at the 68th Street post office to mail a package, and hobble over to the library. This damned leg got a good rest last night but it isn't recuperating as quickly as I want it to.

I have little else to report. Last night's dreams involved a trip to Sondheim's home for him to sign some things and a shopping with his assistant. In retrospect, though, it wasn't a visit to Steve's actual home, but more like a trip to the Dakota on West 72nd.

The other night I watched THE DEADLY TOWER w/Kurt Russell.

That's the true story of Charles Whitman and his killing all those people from the tower in Austin.

I thought it was quite good, although the film was shot in Louisiana.

We were officially told yesterday that our division of the state (Choldren's Services) will be taking either the 24th or the 29th of November off for our new furlough day.  Therefore we will be getting a five day Thanksgiving Holiday weekend (except one of the days will be without pay).

Personally, I was hoping that they would make the furlough day November 12.  All state buildings are closed for Veteran's Day on Thursday the 11th, so it seems foolish (and not very cost effective),  just to reopen and reheat all of the state buildings for the one day of Friday the 12th.

Logic was apparently not a factor in this decision.

I also took today off...am going up to Tigard to bring down my grandniece Taylor so that we can attend the Natya Leela dance production in Salem.

Taylor's grammy (my sister Sue) will attend with us and then afterwards we 3 will have a pajama party at my apartment....and we will be watching the film PAJAMA PARTY, as well!!

It will be Taylor's introduction to classic both east Indian dance and Annette Funicello.

I'm thinking instead of cupcakes a Red Velvet Cake would be pretty in a rose cake pan (I would serve the cream cheese frosting on the side).  Now I need a good recipe, any comments on the following one? 

1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 ounces red food color, (1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons cocoa

1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon white vinegar

   1. Preheat the oven to 350°.

   2. Spray two 9" round cake pans with non-stick spray; place a piece of parchment in the pan and spray again. Set aside.

   3. Alternately place liners in 24 cupcake cups, grease and flour a standard bundt pan, or spray a 9 x 13" dripper pan with non-stick spray and line with parchment.

   4. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar; add the eggs, food coloring, and vanilla.

   5. Mix the flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa; add them to the butter mixture alternately with the buttermilk and vinegar.

   6. Beat until smooth.

   7. Pour into the prepared pan(s) and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake leaves the sides of the pan: 9" round layers - about 30 minutes, 24 cupcakes - 15-20 minutes, bundt pan - 55-60 minutes, 9 x 13" dripper pan - 45-55 minutes.

   8. Remove from the oven and let sit 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack and cool thoroughly.

Phil Crosby reported that her Facebook page seemed to be indicating the death. I had asked Michelle to accept my friend offer, but I think she was already too far gone to do anything. As a result, I can't check out her profile to see what's going on.

The poor woman; she was a beautiful person.

Amen! I think of Laurie often and very fondly, and, while I only worked with Michelle a couple of times on things, I loved her humor, warmth, huge heart, and enormous talent. I always envied Lanny, who got to work with her on her solo recordings.

Actually my boss thinks  I need to get some more work done before leaving for the day ;)

well maybe she'll let you go early.... :D

The Quad. It's between 5th and 6th Avenue on 13th Street. We will be waiting for you with your ticket. Take the 1, 2 or 3 to 14th Street. If you sit in the middle of the train you can get out at 13th Street and walk one and a half blocks east and you're there. It's the same place we saw Sacco and Vanzetti.

Went and had some lunch and thought about Michelle - I don't want to be sad - she wouldn't like that - I just want to celebrate that she was one of the nicest, kindest, most genuine people ever put on the planet, and to remember what magic we made in the studio - I'd forgotten it was four albums (I always forget the sequel to Toonful).

Good morning, all! I slept past 9 am, but I am now bathed and dressed. I have some time to spend at the NYPL at Lincoln Center today, and I hope to head down there around 11, stop at the 68th Street post office to mail a package, and hobble over to the library. This damned leg got a good rest last night but it isn't recuperating as quickly as I want it to.

I have little else to report. Last night's dreams involved a trip to Sondheim's home for him to sign some things and a shopping with his assistant. In retrospect, though, it wasn't a visit to Steve's actual home, but more like a trip to the Dakota on West 72nd.

Jane: Here's my mother's recipe for red velvet cake. The cake is spectacular. I add coconut to the filling and I would suggest using cream cheese frosting instead of her seven-minute frosting:

Red Velvet Cake

Red Velvet Cake was hugely popular in the Sixties, but it fell out of style. It’s suddenly popular again, but the cake has changed. Nowadays, it’s not served with a filling and it’s not iced with 7-minute frosting. Here’s the original version of this cake. But if you want a more modern version, then use the cream cheese frosting recipe on page ????

Cake:
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup shortening
1 ½ cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup red food coloring               
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Filling:
1 cup milk
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup (2 sticks) margarine or butter, at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

7-minute frosting:
3 cups sugar
2/3 cup water
½ cup light corn syrup
3 egg whites
Shredded coconut, for garnish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line 3 (9-inch) cake pans.
   Sift together cocoa powder, flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
   Using a mixer, cream shortening for 2 minutes. Add sugar, cream for at least 1 more minute. Add eggs, 1 at a time. Add vanilla and red food coloring. Slowly add flour mixture, alternating with a mixture of buttermilk and vinegar, starting and finishing with flour mixture. Pour into prepared pans.
   Bake for 25 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let rest 10 minutes before turning onto cake racks. Immediately remove wax paper. Let cool.
   To make filling, cook milk and flour until very thick. Cool in refrigerator. Once cool, mix margarine, powdered sugar and vanilla in a mixture. Add milk-flour mixture. Spread between layers of cake.
   To make frosting, set up a double boiler. Bring water to a boil before reducing heat to a simmer. Cook sugar, water and corn syrup in top of double boiler until it forms a soft ball (or 130 degrees on a candy thermometer). Beat egg whites until stiff. Add a little a time from mixture. Spread on cake. Sprinkle with shredded coconut.

OK, this helps make up for the crappy NYT review."JEWS AND BASEBALL knocks it out of the park":

Congrats, Edi and Movie Makers! :D

Maybe I'll just go sit somewhere and have a nosh.  All I have here is Halloween candy and I've had my fill of that already - and I did a jog - I do have some English muffins but that sounds a little boring.

I just got back from the 2nd shift of the Good Stuff gathering! It was truly great to see everyone, and thank you all for parent-sitting while we went back for the 2nd Q&A. We got there right as the credits started!

I had some dear friends in the audience, so Peter and I brought them over to the diner and we spent another hour there. The waiter was very patient; I explained to him what was going on and he was very nice about it (and about his tip!).

I will try posting photos before I leave or else after I get home tomorrow night. I have more J and B dates to add to the Facebook screenings calendar tonight!

I just got home - the powers that be decided to shut down the Long Island Expressway just east of my exit in orderto perform repair work - of course no noitce was put up so that people could get off at earlie exits - it took me 90 minutes to drive a mile.
 

I hope Larry didn't wait up for my "I'm home safe" message!

I'm the first returnee from the wonderful evening. The film was excellent and the after party at Good Stuff Diner was marvelous. We had Larry, Anthony, Julie, Amy's mother and her partner, Naz (and me) and Peter the director.

But this little boy is tired (it's way past my bedtime) so I'll go to bed and let others talk tonight. Tomorrow I'll post something.

Amy did take pictures so she may put something up tonight or tomorrow before she leaves.



I guess Ben was a tired boy - he forgot FJL, Amy  and me!

I loved the movie- I learned a lot and was quite moved and I urge everyone to see it when it gets to your  neck of the woods!

I went over to Hugo's and had a salad and a barbecue turkey sandwich and veggies - it made me feel better.

I actually wrote part one of the notes much earlier today, so I'll write part two, get them posted early, and get to bed - I'm emotionally exhausted.
