Well, you've read the notes, you've resolved to have resolve in the New Year (namely 2005), and now it is time for you to post until the cows resolve to come home.

Thank you, Bk, for the lovely notes this morning. They made me cry. Mostly the part about the Powerbook being on the dining room table in a box, but the other stuff was nice too.
Thank you, BK, for letting me be a part
of your partaay this past year.

Let the partay rage on.
Welcome eight GUESTS. I think the eight GUESTS should resolve to come out of the woodwork and POST.
I truly hope each and every one of our beloved hainsies/kimlets has a most beautiful New Year.
-
Well, 2005 is off to a great start, if I do say so myself. And I just did! I hate to do it, but I must go to sleepy-time now. I have to get up early (good thing I don't drink!) and I never seem to get enough sleep. So, sleep I shall get. But before I go, one of my favorite songs is "Happy New Year" by ABBA. It's not the most uplifting song, but the chorus is quite nice:
Happy New Year
Happy New Year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbor is a friend
Happy New Year
Happy New Year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
You and I
GOOD NIGHT AND HAVE A GREAT (AND HAPPY) NEW YEAR!!

I'm drinking the bubbly and dancing the Black Bottom.

I resolve...........

As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me! I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again! No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill! As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again!
-
I'm hungry now. But I shan't eat this lovely box of See's Candies.
-
I intend staying at this partay for some time. Perhaps I'll even achieve my new record of 8000 posts. If not tonight, certainly during the day tomorrow.
-
Aha! 2005! I should have stayed home for the HHW partay. I hate to see in the New Year with boring people....and that is what I did.
Oh well.....
Resolves will have to wait....but I will get some, I am sure. I hope for good things in 2005 including employement.
Lovely photographs DR HISAKA!
MR BK where does Naturama fit in on that list of widescreen processes on your wall?
Saturday, January 1, 2005!

Great gifs DRGEORGE!!

I am keeping my 2004 resolution: No more resolutions!

New Year's Day Dolce for all DRs.

I knew some folks had loaded lots of pics because it took forever for page one to come up on-screen.

I kept the one resolution I made to myself for 2004: to work out at least three times per week. It actually ended up being closer to four times a week and sometimes I did it every weekday, so I was very pleased with myself for keeping that resolution..
For 2005, I am resolving to keep a cleaner house. Honestly, with my being retired, there is no excuse to go weeks without vacuuming or dusting. When I'm in a show, I never seem to find time to do anything around the house, and then I pay for it big time once the show is over. Since I did two shows back-to-back last fall, my house didn't get touched for three months, and I can't tell you the spider webs and dust bunnies that found their ways into every corner of this house. NO MORE!
-
A friend loaned me VAN HELSING, and I hope at some point today to watch that so I can get it back to him.
-
We're going to have another glorious, warm day in NC, and after I help a friend buy some cables for his home theater set-up that we're working on, I need to come back here and clean out some gutters. So, I'm going to have a very busy day.
-
Good Morning!
Happy New Year! Officially to all DRs! -Unless there happens to be some bizzaro HHW world where New Year has yet to occur, or where it happens it backwards - ?!?!?!
As for resolutions, I never really made them before, but, in general:
Eat Better
Live Better
Learn More
Love Always
As for a concrete resolution/goal... Well, I will be making my official Off-Broadway debut in about two and a half months courtesy of DR PennyO. So, I'd like to shed a good, solid 10 pounds off my frame. I've already gotten a sort of head start on this "project". It's a very reasonable goal too to attain - 10 pound in 10 weeks basically. And if I happen to lose more weight before then, then all the better. -Oh, and I guess I need to start vocalizing daily too, since I will be - YIKES! - singing in the show too! *Thankfully, even through all the various indulging I've been doing over the past week, I haven't put on all that much "holiday weight". Whew!
Oh, and, of course....
Move to New York!
-
Well, I have a matinee in two hours...
I hope all DRs and their friends and family are having a wonderful 2005 already!
I'll be back after tonight's show...
Laters...
-
Forgive me for not indulging in multiple postings, too, but I simply want to wish everyone a happy new year on this first day of January in the year Two Thousand Five.
Carry on....
-
Thank you for the New Year world tour, DR Michael Shayne!
The New Year's Day Dolce look delicious, DR Hisaka.
Good luck with the various resolutions, DRs.
I tend not to make resolutions at the end/beginning of a year. - Rather, I sit down and have a long thinkathon about what's been happening in my life, what is good, what is bad, what needs to change and what I can do to try and bring about that change. It's not so much that I resolve to do this or that, but that I try to think clearly and reflect... and then see what happens.
-
Happy New Year to everyone... and God Bless Us Everyone!!
Dinner with the DP was quite lovely last evening. The food was yummy, the desserts were not even up to my par. We came home and fell asleep, didn't even make it to midnight, but it didn't matter.
I'm not sure of the resolutions for the year, perhaps I'll be back later with them, or perhaps, not. :)
-
Happy New Year all!
I pooped out last night and went to bed around 10:30. I thought I would be woke by all the noise at midnight and was planning on getting up to post for a bit.
Imagine my surprise when I did wake and it was 2:30 AM! Either I was more tired than I thought or it wasn't as loud as I thought it would be.
Bear was sleeping peacefully beside me so I guess any noise didn't bother him either!
We're watching the Rose Parade right now. Wonderful! I would like to go see that live someday. It just a shame that all those flowers will be dead in just a few days.
I also thought about all the beans and things that could be used to make soup. They are nice to see but I can't help but think about how some people in the world could use that food.
I don’t really have any Resolutions. I have no goals except to be as happy and healthy as possible.
Thank you for the world tour, DR Michael Shayne!
Have a wonderful day all! I have lots to do.
Today’s meal will be a traditional one for Mom and I. Sauerkraut with pork ribs and mashed potatoes. Yum! Anyone else have a traditional meal on New Years Day?

Re: Anderson Cooper. Y'all probably knew this, since I am hopelessly out of the pop culture loop, but he's Gloria Vanderbilt's son.
I am resolved to lose weight, but since that has been my resolution ever since I turned 40 and my metabolism announced it was through with me, it's getting to be a re-resolution. ;)
-
I was never one to make resolutions, so I don't have to be guilty about breaking any. ;D
-
I slept rather late, didn't I? Perhaps others are sleeping late as well.
It's a bit gray out in Los Angeles, California, USA, but it's not raining.
If you don't want to talk about resolutions (I don't REALLY resolve, either - just read last year's end of year notes, I just contemplate and move forward), let's talk about FOOD. What are you all going to eat?
-
Food? Well, I'm at my sister's right now and she just made the most delicious french toast, but it's made with this wonderful cinnamon bread. The bread is rolled just like cinnamon rolls but thinner rolls around the center, so there is more cinnamon filling per square inch. With real butter and real maple syrup, it's the absolute best!
-
I may just have to make some corn bread, if I can find somewhere where I can buy milk.
-
Good morning all!
Happy 2005 to everyone!!
I had a grand time last night going to a few parties, and ending the evening with our own DR Jed, drinking bubbly and lamenting that the Space Needle Fireworks are no longer shown on our local cable. It snowed all evening, so now Ellensburg is covered with a pretty blanket of white. If you can't have a white Christmas, have a white New Years...that's my motto.
I have yet to make any resolutions for the new year, save one...make it better than the last. It's simple, and covers just about any other specific ones I could make.
My parents are expecting a few friends over for a gathering this afternoon. My mother is running around cleaning up the house, and my dad is making yummy smelling dishes in the kitchen. I just ate a piece of pumpkin pie for breakfast. It was very good, except my father accidentally added an extra egg, so the texture wa a bit off.
-
I looooooove corn bread! Especially with butter and a drizzle of honey.
-
It does NOT feel like a Saturday. I don't know what day it feels like, but not Saturday. I may take a drive in the motorcar to Bookfellows, who I think are open this very day. Or, I may just do the hokey pokey. Yes, Virginia, I may just put my left foot in, and take my left foot out, and put my left foot in and shake it all about. Is there a good CD of the Hokey Pokey. I'm quite certain one of our dear readers will know the answer to that all-important question.
-
Ann has caught up.
I just like butter on my corn bread. And Arthur in the Afternoon. My goodness, an obscure Kander and Ebb reference. This corn bread is the same corn bread I had at the Jones's the other night. If only I could find someone named Earl to invite over, I could have Cornbread, Earl, and Me. My goodness, an even more obscure motion picture reference. Speaking of motion pictures, which one shall I watch today? I just can't bring myself to watch one of those all-German no subtitles Edgar Wallace DVDs.
-
I meant to post this when I came back from the Land of Disney last week, but in the Disney Calif. Adventure Park, they have an attraction called "Soaring Over California" and it is indeed in Smell-O-Rama. When you "soar" over the orange groves, it's smells like oranges, when you "soar" over the forests, it smells like pine and it when you "soar" over the ocean, there is a breezy-type "clean" smell. It's the best thing EVER.
-
The Hokey Pokey was a hit record for Melbournian Johnny Chester in 1961. It is available on Cd.
The Hokey Pokey is called the Hokey Cokey in the UK. Pokey is deemed unseemly. Of course the UK also changed "Slow Poke" to "Slow Coach"
Just to let you know I am here and awake too early.
-
I'm talkin' about Corn Bread.
-
There must be a store open that has milk, mustn't there? Probably the local 7-11. Does this feel like a Saturday?
-
Jimmy crack corn but I don't care!
-
Up here in the Northwest, all of the supermarkets and grocery stores are open their regular hours today. But, if you want to make sure, ask Tomovoz, since he already celebrated New Year's Day yesterday, he might know what is open today.
-
You're right, BK...it does not feel entirely like a Saturday. It feels a bit like Sunday, but not quite. Perhaps it is Sunturday today.
-
Happy New Year, everyone! Here's wishing y'all the finest year ever for 2005!
I have a couple of resolutions for the coming year. First and foremost will be to move back to the suburbs. City life is nice, but it doesn't have the zing for me that it once had. I long for a house with some land around it filled with trees, grass and various flora. I shall begin my search come springtime.
I am also resolving to allow myself the time to express my creative side more often. Whether this will simply be in taking up writing or singing lessons I'm not sure yet. But I've been neglecting my creative drive for the past year and I think it's time I let it out. Spiritually, it's needed.
-
Happy New Year to cyber daughter, Ann, who is present; and to cyber son, Jed, who is not. NATIONAL PASTIME opens next Friday, and plays only six performances, closing on January 16.
-
Last night as I was running out, I saw that DR Jay asked me to describe Philadelphia's Mummer's Parade. Not an easy task--try to imagine a bunch of guys from a working class bar deciding to gay all of a sudden. They come up with something like this:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/WandaDuck/2003band.jpg)
More on this later--dinner has just been announced.
-
I know this may be radical to say, but it does not feel like a Saturday.
I must venture out soon if I'm to find milk with which to make the Corn Bread.
And then there's the matter of the Powerbook, just sitting in its box like so much fish, whispering, "BK, BK, I'm just sitting here like so much fish, come open me and play, BK". I shall try to have strength, dear readers, oh, yes, I shall try to have strength.
-
Welcome five GUESTS. We're talkin' about HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Question to five GUESTS: Does this seem like a Saturday?
-
The only thing that makes this seem like a Saturday is that we're getting ready to watch the Michigan Wolverines play football - Go Blue!
What we're eating today: meatballs in chili sauce, taco dip, salsa, chips, and other assorted appetizer things.
Company's here - Later...

Greetings from Phoenix.
Last round of gift exchange was today and I'm so thrilled we got...
Tickets to Spamalot!
Friends who've seen it in Chicago have been thrilled and delighted.
A meal was prepared this morning that I've only seen in Phoenix (thankfully) and it's the most disgusting, nutritionally valueless think I've ever encountered. It's called S.O.S. and it seems to consist of bacon drippings, lots of eggs, and parts of bread that are deemed not good enough to throw at birds. I don't understand how anybody can eat it and live.
-
Interesting that you should mention the hokey pokey, as I just yesterday saw this bumpersticker:
WHAT IF THE HOKEY POKEY REALLY IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT?
-
Resolutions: getting our financial house in order and losing weight. I'm now, by far, the heaviest I've ever been. Sluggish, and so fat I often get stuck in doorways. This must stop.
As a day one endeavor, I pushed the plate of S.O.S. away from me without tasting it.
Speaking of "tickets to the hottest show in town" - Joy gave me a membership to MOMA. Now, I can waltz in whenever I've a break from work and visit old friends like Girl Before a Mirror and Starry Night. Free. You don't have a membership, they charge you $20. Which would not get the financial house in order.
-
Tonight I will be out and about, attending the 60th Birthday Bash for my dearest friend in the whole wide world, Sharry O'Hare (The Legend). How ironic, that my friend here in little old Tacoma should have also met the esteemed BK, the fabulous Michael Shayne, and the delightful George; all in the past twelve months. What a world….what a world.
-
I'm thinkin' this just doesn't feel like a Saturday.
-
How do you "grease" a pan?
-
Is that like Crisco or something? I cannot possibly make Corn Bread without greasing the pan, so sayeth the directions.
-
Is that like Crisco or something? I cannot possibly make Corn Bread without greasing the pan, so sayeth the directions.
If you have Pam (or Sylvia) you can spray the inside of the pan. Or, you can take a little butter on a paper towel and lightly coat the interior of your pan (pardon the expression).
-
I always enjoy coating the interior of my pan. Or I would if I had a pan. Hopefully, they will have a pan at the market, and hopefully the pan will have an interior, which I can coat or, at the very least, shirt. The sun is doing its darndest to break through these cloudy clouds.
-
My sister makes corn bread, but she actually uses a mix that you just add water. It's quite good and very easy to add and stir the water into the mix. I don't know if she's ever made corn bread from a recipe. I know I haven't.

Jennifer, lovely photo of you the other day!

Sandra whose cats are those?
George I wanted french toast for breakfast this morning but we didn’t have any bread to make it. I did treat myself to some hot coco after my walk in the cold wind and snow.
George & Michael Shayne I enjoyed all of your New Year pictures and gifs. MS did you find a picture of Vienna? I am very curious what Craig saw during his celebration there.
Hisaka those Dolce look delicious.
-
Yes to grease a pan you can use a bit of butter/margarine. I like that better than Pam. Or you can use special yellow stuff for baking (lacopan?), which you probably wouldn't have.
Hmm, I've never had corn bread.
-
Did anyone else see the commercial for TAR (Amazing Race) that played during the Rose parade? Excellent!
Oh and ALIAS STARTS THIS WEDNESDAY. YEAH!!!!!
-
Thank you DR TCB. I was playing with that pic and took the pic of coco, made it into a star and put it at the top of the tree and sent it to my aunt (it's her dog). She loved it.
I did the same thing to a friend (putting his pic as the star) and HE DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE! :(
-
BK asked about food. I will have leftovers from last night's dinner. General Taos chicken and fried rice. Yummy.
Last night I also had tempura (it was a Chinese/Japanese restaurant). They make their wonton soup with shrimp. Normally I don't like that, but it was quite good.
I don't have any New Year's Day traditions except watching the Rose parade.
My favorite part is the Making of the Floats. ABC showed a bunch of stuff about that.
Btw, I wish all 3 major networks would change their hosts!
-
I've had my New Year's meal -- fresh black-eyed peas, turnip greens, grilled pork chops and fresh, homemade corn bread...made from scratch with buttermilk.
It's a yummy cornbread...and you grease the pan by just putting a dollop of oil in it and sticking the pan in the hot oven while you mix all the ingredients....the best cornbread results from pouring batter into a hot pan and letting that nice crust form on the sides and bottoms.
YUMMY!
-
Hello. I'm tied to my chair and writing. Have now caught up on the "This doesn't feel like a greased Saturday" posts and can now get back to writing.
Just remember -- Always use a paper towel when greasing Saturday.
-
My friend was nursing a hangover today, so we didn't go out shopping. That gave me time to get the gutters and the back portion of my roof cleaned off and then to sit and watch VAN HELSING. More about that in the next post.
-
I'll be frying chicken when I go back downstairs.
-
And one for Mahler.
-
VAN HELSING was a good movie to be brain dead in front of. Since it didn't make much sense, one didn't have to think about all the ways it was silly. I just immersed myself in the fine surround sound and the lusciousness that is Hugh Jackman.
I had to laugh, though. Early in the movie when we saw pictures of the heroine and her gorgeous brother who were also fighting Dracula, I knew the brother was not long for the movie. He was TOO much competition for Hugh in the looks department.
-
I'm back and am the proud owner of an 8x8 Pyrex Pan. Inside the Pyrex pan is now the cornbread mix, which comes from Trader Joe's. The Pyrex Pan is now in the oven. This is the first thing I've ever baked that's not fish or meat. If this works, I may graduate to cakes and whatnot.
-
It was 70 degrees here today which made working outside a real pleasure.
-
RLP thanks for the cornbread tip. It has been along time since I have made cornbread.
Bruce when greasing a pan I prefer to use wax paper instead of a paper towel.
-
I used Pam, which seemed ever so much simpler.
-
About four minutes from now we'll know the tale.
-
The Corn Bread could not have turned out more perfectly perfect. Yummilicious in extremis.
-
Um, it's been way more than 4 minutes!
So what exactly is corn bread?
-
I guess you wrote that while I was typing. :)
-
Happy 2005 everyone!
The party at my friend's house up in West Linn was loads of fun! And unfortunately, Jose, I forgot to take my camera in, so there are no pictures of the hot tub portion of the party (which occured around 1:30 am with 10 gay men, two very cute lesbians, and one young straight guy who, I think, did not know what he was getting himself into, all crammed together in hot, bubbly water! LOL!
It was one crowded tub! But lots of fun (especially since I was wedged in-between a husky farm boy from central Oregon and an Air National Guard pilot! ;D )
...but I digress...we had good food and I met some very nice people...and now I am going to relax with some fine motion picture entertainment on DVD.
-
Oh, my resolutions for 2005 are to get to the gym on a regular basis, get my diabetes under control, and to catch up on my interviews.
-
MBarnum, I am jealous. I have to go shopping with my sister (she hates to go shopping alone :P). A hot tub sounds like so much more fun! ;)
-
...with 10 gay men, two very cute lesbians, and one young straight guy
...And the Marx Brothers? ;D
-
Can one of you aspect ratio mavens explain the logic of this to me? I have just been watching That's Entertainment (the first one) on DVD (which, believe it or not, I had never seen before). I am watching the widescreen version. Why did they reformat (intermittently, at that, which is all the stranger) a bunch of the older films to look like they're in widescreen? I assume they did that by masking the top and bottom of the image and blowing it up to fill the screen horizontally. But why even bother, since they show a bunch of other clips in their OAR (1.37:1, or whatever it is). It makes no sense to me, but maybe I'm missing something.....
-
Yes, you are missing something. Whatever narrator is doing that section clearly says, "If this were today this would look like this." The changing ratio was done for the original theatrical showings of TE and the new DVD replicates that. When clips are shown Academy ratio, that's the way they were shown then, too.
-
Evening all.
I hope everyone had a nice day.
I’m sorry to say that I have a horrible pounding headache—not from drinking but from all the gun powder in area and the noise.
You would have thought all the fireworks were over but someone on the street behind us decided to put all of theirs off today. Not some little bangs but some BOOMS loud enough to rattle the windows. I’m not joking about that. It scared the heck out of both dogs and Mom. I know I jumped a few times as well.
Poor Bear ran around the back yard barking his head off but I didn’t holler at him. I was trying to do some yard work—I mowed the grass and did some trimming. Between Bear barking, the booms, the roar of the mower, then the blower and the smell, I guess it’s not very surprising that my head is throbbing.
I plan on taking it easy tomorrow. I think I shall try to go see POTO the movie.
Finished The Da Vinci code yesterday. I liked it and didn’t think I would. I also read Angels and Demons which I thought was very good as well. I picked up on the writers style by the 2nd book so I was able to figure out a lot of clues myself. That was kinda fun.
Without giving anything away, I knew where the Rose was buried before the end of the book. I won’t say I had it figured totally out but I had the right place.
Dinner turned out well. I can now rest assured that the New Year has started out right and good luck will now surely follow. :D
-

Nope, I caught that, but that was just on that one clip (A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody). They've gone on to reformat everything from some (not all) of the Judy/Mickey stuff to Show Boat and various others. I guess my question is, why didn't they just do everything after that announcement? Wouldn't that have been more consistent?
-
I don't think there's much consistency in the film at all. It all seemed very arbitrary to me, even at the time.
-
Now wait just a darned minute - no posts in almost an hour. I don't believe that is how we should welcome a brand spanking New Year. Some of us have been welcoming in the brand spanking New Year quite well, but others have been sitting on their butt cheeks like so much fish and it is time to join the partay.
-
Just read that actor William Boyett died this last Wednesday...he was a regular on my all time favorite TV series, ADAM-12.
-
Sandra whose cats are those?
That party animal from last night is my Sasha. Isn't she pretty?
Right now I am eating a bag of chips and a Cherry Coke. And my dad just walked in with a bunch of pizzas. What more do I need?

And why hasn't BK reached 8,000 posts yet????
-
Well, if we had some discussion going on I would reach 8000 posts easily. I don't wish to reach 8000 postings by talking to myself.
-
I'm very sleepy. What I would like to do is to go to bed and veg out for a few hours. But I won't.
...I hope this will be a springboard for lots of lively discussion and will help bk reach 8000.
Danise - Good vibes for making your headache disappear!
-
Here's food for thought (literally), and, maybe, discussion:
I just noticed our bottle of ketchup says "From Concentrate." Now I'm no cook, but what in heaven's name is ketchup concentrate?
-
I guess I'd better say something before BK gets back. So here goes:
My pizza has olives on it. My potato chips are Lay's sour cream and onion. I am almost done with this Cherry Coke and will very soon be getting up to get a new one.
I fell asleep a few hours ago and woke up just in time to watch M*A*S*H. There was a cat sleeping on me when I woke up. He watched M*A*S*H for a while after he woke up. Then he went back to sleep.
As you can tell, I am having a very exciting day.
-
We could discuss William Boyett's career...except that I suspect I am the only ADAM-12 fan on HHW.
BK, did you ever work with William Boyett? If not, then why not? If you did, did you like him; if you didn't do you think you would have liked him had you worked with him.
There...those questions should easily get you to 8,000.

I just ran over to BIG LOTS and picked up a couple of $1 dvd double features. The first DVD has RANSOM MONEY starring Broderick Crawford and DESERT COMMANDOS starring Ken Clark. The second DVD has THE AMAZING ADVENTURE starring Cary Grant and MY LOVE FOR YOURS starring Fred MacMurray.

Sandra and DRLaura how many cats do you have? At first I thought you just had Tumbly, the big furry cat. Now I see Sasha, and appears there is a matching cat on the couch with her. I believe Joshie is the rescue cat that was recently shown ripping apart a feather boa. Am I correct which cat is which?
After I had collected four cats Keith purchased a t-shirt for me that said “you can never have too many cats”. I wore that shirt for years.
-
We have three cats: Tumbly, Sasha, and Joshie. That thing on the couch with Sasha is a lovely leopard-spotted pillow.
-
LOL. And my family said the feather boa Joshi destroyed looked like a matching cat. ;D
-
No, our cats don't match very well. We didn't get them as a set. But Sasha has sort of adopted Joshie. She mothers him just like he was her kitten. They don't look anything like each other. It's precious.
-
When I surprised Keith with the last two kittens, a brother (Bogie) and sister, I knew he would force me to get another dog. I do mean force as I didn’t want but then I couldn’t resist Craig’s fifteen year old pleading eyes. Those eyes were why we took home Bogie’s sister with him. How do you tell a kid he can’t take home the kitten he wants when you have found the brother irresistible? The dog I was forced to get was Echo, such a hardship. ;)
-
Sandra, do you have a picture of Sasha and Joshie together?
-
No, I can't find one. We don't have many pictures of Sasha because she runs away from the camera. Joshie, on the other hand, is a little ham and he mugs for the camera.
-
Bill Boyett sounds very familiar. I'll have to look up his credits - however, I may have worked with him in a commercial and if that's the case, there's no way to check.
-
Well, we never worked together on television, so either it was a commercial or we didn't.
Pizza with olives? That's not my cup of tea or even my cup of pizza. Or should that be my slice of tea?
I think I shall reach 8000 postings. Everyone must be off doing things. You'd think it was a Saturday, even though it doesn't feel like it. You'd think it was a New Year.
-
I've eaten quite a bit of Corn Bread. I am quite Corn Bread out. I've given over half the Corn Bread to a needy mother and daughter.
-
Danise I hope you are feeling better.
Do you know Ben Bowder (FARSCAPE for those who don’t know) is joining the cast of STARGATE SG-1? Considering Richard Dean Anderson’s low profile last season I doubt you will be surprised to learn he is leaving the show.
-
I am wearing Joshie's new feather boa on my head (I'm a little bit bored). My dad just walked in the room and called me Phyllis Diller. I decided to take that as a compliment (Oh, a Forever Plaid reference).
-
Bruce that was very nice of you to donate to the needy. I wish I could do the same with this bag of chocolate I can’t stop eating.
I like black olives on my pizza. It has been so long since I had pizza I can’t remember when that was.
I agree it doesn’t feel like a Saturday, more like Sunday.
-
Keith can’t find the key to our snow blower which means we will probably have to shovel the driveway tomorrow, only about 500 feet worth. :P
-
There have been people in and out of our house all afternoon. My father, the chairman of the music department, invited all the faculty over..so they have been trickling in and out, eating delicious soup and bread and pies and cheesecake. No cornbread, though. They seem very happy. Our house is very open and spacious and suited for entertaining. My mother, always one step ahead, thought to bring out some Disney movies and set up a corner where all the various and sundried children could watch whilst their parents ate and talked. It's working very well. I have escaped up to my old bedroom for a bit.
-
Was it cornbread from concentrate? ::)
-
Yes, It was kind to donate to the needy. That would be me. And I have to say that bk is not blowing his own horn - although I think it would be unsanitary to blow someone else's horn - but to get back to my point - the corn bread was delish. Still warm when I had it. The best corn bread I've had in ages, perhaps ever. And I'm somewhat of a corn bread aficionado (we're known as "corncionados"). DD also loved it - although she had it when it was no longer warm - and she's pretty fussy. Her first reaction was..."Bruce bakes??!" But after she tasted it, she was okay with the fact the Bruce bakes. I told her it was not a daily thing with him, so she was appeased.
-
...Not that there's anything wrong with a man baking. All men should bake. All the time.
-
Interesting fact - The Canadian-Korean actress, Sandra Oh, is married to Alexander Payne. She's featured in SIDEWAYS and is very good. She's actually always very good.
Would you care to discuss this in 8 posts, bk? (The "k" stands for kornbread. As in Korngold.)
-
I am a frenzy of one. The korn bread has given me immense energy. And I can see through walls.
-
Panni: DD is no doubt reevaluating her brusque dismissal of the intended nuptials now that she senses she might not have to cook all the time!
-
And I can see through walls.
What all did you put in that cornbread, BK?
-
Geez. A remake of The Silence?
At this rate I'LL be at 8000 before bk.
-
Panni: DD is no doubt reevaluating her brusque dismissal of the intended nuptials now that she senses she might not have to cook all the time!
Her boyfriend cooks. He also cleans. DD is good at taking care of things that are not housework oriented. They have a somewhat unusual division of labor as far as male-female stereotypes go, but it works for them.
-
Her boyfriend cooks weiners and beans and sandwiches and stupid stuff. We are sophisticated. We make uppity things, like spaghetti and beef stroganoff and eggs. But she will not reevaluate because she likes them young and beefy, neither of which am I. Never never will I marry, never never will I wed. What do you think of them egg rolls, Mr. Goldstone? Speaking of egg rolls, I'm watching Screaming Mimi, which features the one, the only, Miss Gypsy Rose Lee.
-
Well, I've done my bit to get an 8-post discussion going -- Korean-Kanadian actresses, Korngold, kornbread, baked goods induced hallucinations, male-female stereotypes, Bergman remakes. The rest is up to the Fates...
-
Oh good. As I was giving up, b "never-will-I-marry" k was posting. I smell 8000. And it smells like cornbread.
-
Well I for one am still waiting for someone to explain how the hell ketchup can be made from concentrate, for crying out loud.
-
From here it smells like olive pizza and Cherry Coke.
-
Sandra, please take a photograph of olived pizza. Please make sure that your finger is in the photograph.
-
My goodness, I am getting close, aren't I? I am in spitting distance of 8000 postings, but I won't rush - I will savour the moment and the moment will savour me.
-
Keith can’t find the key to our snow blower which means we will probably have to shovel the driveway tomorrow, only about 500 feet worth. :P
If this happened to me, I'd do my darnedest to try and find that key!
-
Well I for one am still waiting for someone to explain how the hell ketchup can be made from concentrate, for crying out loud.
The cornbread has given me superior brain powers as well. So, to answer your question, DR JMK, I think what that means is that rather than making the ketchup from fresh tomatoes, they use tomato paste. Have I mentioned that I can see through walls?
-
So BK, with all this posting about corn bread and how good it is (and with testimonials, even!), are you at least going to post the recipe?? Some of us (me) are getting tired of corn bread from a mix (even though it's pretty good) and would like to maybe try to bake it ourselves!
-
My goodness, I am getting close, aren't I? I am in spitting distance of 8000 postings, but I won't rush - I will savour the moment and the moment will savour me.
Please don't spit. I could vomit on the ground when people spit.

When I went shopping with my sister (at Fred Meyer...one stop shopping!), I came across this and just had to to get it! I don't know if it's been discussed here before, but I was just in the mood to buy something totally on impulse (which is not a rare thing with me ::) ) and this was it:
-
If you say so, BK.
-
Panni, I didn't know that you had gone into the latkes business...with Bavarian variations!
-

You've discovered my secret identity, DR George -- screenwriter by day, Bavarian Pancake Maker by night. (Actually I have a whole line of fine products.)
-
Well, I never knew! A Rennaissance woman! ;D
-
DR Sandra - I'm sure your pizza was delicious, but it looks like there are little black creatures all over it. (Or am I having cornbread DT's?)
-
Olives on pizza = ICKY!! :P
-
Well, I never knew! A Rennaissance woman! ;D
Yes, that, too. I run a chain of hotels.
-
Well here's more fodder for BK to potentially post about: have you made it to the "Futures" tracks on the Bacharach collection yet? I love a lot of the music on that album (which I have on the nicely mastered Japanese CD release), but his choices for lead vocalist on a number of the tunes strikes me as underwhelming (and in some cases downright annoying), especially when you consider Patti Austin, who could have knocked them all out of the ballpark, was one of the backup vocalists. Discuss (or not)..... :)
-
What? No response to the solution to the ketchup concentrate conundrum?
-
Here's another man who bakes often. Trouble is that what I bake is very fattening, and I'm the only one here to eat the stuff.
-
I watched no DVD movies tonight. I did watch three DICK VAN DYKE episodes, but then at 8 I gave myself over to NBC's LAW & ORDER line-up for the evening, all in high definition.
-
It's not a corn bread recipe - it's Trader Joe's cornbread mix, which happens to be incredible. More incredible is that I made it without anything going wrong.
Say, that pizza looks pretty good, as does that finger.
"That pizza looks pretty good, as does that finger."
Did anyone else say it?
-
Yes, a couple of the vocalists on Futures are strange, but the music is interesting - Burt trying to find himself.
-

So, now she is Sandra Oh! Pain!

I went to see Beyond the Sea today, Dear Readers. With everything I'd read about the picture, and everything I'd heard about the picture (especially from a certain host of a certain web site that is almost the most popular web site in all of internetdom), I walked in expecting to not like the picture.
Well, despite a structural conceit that I thought was totally unnecessary, and despite Mr. Kevin Spacey being way too old and the wrong type to be playing Mr. Bobby Darrin, and despite more than a few moments that descend to soap operatic bathos, and despite some fantasy sequences that undermine the credibility of the whole affair, you know what? I rather enjoyed myself. I think Mr. Spacey does a great job with the music (of which there is plenty) and I found myself fully engaged with the story.
I guess that makes horse racing, eh?
-
I made it to the birthday party only long enough to offer my regrets and turn around and go back home. Something to do with eating some leftovers in my frig this afternoon that would probably have been better left over. So, now to bed, by way of the bathroom!

From the 1948 edition of "Mother's Rumford Complete Cook Book", first copyrighted in 1908"
Corn Bread
3/4 cup sifted flour (plain)
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup shortening, melted (I use oil)
1 1/2 cups corn meal
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups milk (I use buttermilk)
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease your pan (I put about a tablespoon of oil into an iron skillet, smearing it on the bottom and sides with a paper towel, and then I put the skillet in the oven while it pre-heats).
In one bowl, sift flour, salt and baking powder. Add corn meal.
In a separate bowl, combine eggs with milk and oil.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, thoroughly moistening the dry ingredients. Turn the mixture into the pan and bake for 30 minutes.
It's outrageously delicious!!!

Good Evening!
You ever just have one of those days that feels like it will never end? Never ever end? Well, today was one of those days for me... And for a bunch of other people in the show too. It was kind of strange coming into the theatre and sensing a collective sense of fatigue and dread (for lack of a better word). But we made it through both shows... The second show was particularly long feeling. -And two more tomorrow...
-We also realized during the first intermission that this was our first "normal" performance week schedule-wise, so...
-And it was a gorgeous day outside today too, so...
-OH! and the soundboard decided not to power up again today too, so...
-And having half-full houses today for both shows didn't help matters either, so...
OH! But the ham I made last night for the New Year's Eve party that I did not go to was a big success. Many compliments were bestowed upon me. And there were plenty of goodies brought in today too - leftovers and some fresh stuff too. Nothing like a plate of devilled eggs greeting you when you step into the green room! Yum!
-
Here's food for thought (literally), and, maybe, discussion:
I just noticed our bottle of ketchup says "From Concentrate." Now I'm no cook, but what in heaven's name is ketchup concentrate?
Speaking as a son of two parents in the food service industry, there is indeed a substance called "ketchup concentrate". As DR Panni, I believe, stated earlier, it's basically like tomato paste. Seasoned tomato paste. Sometimes if you see "ketchup" listed as an ingredient on some other label - like a barbecue sauce - it usually is ketchup concentrate. This was the amount of liquid - water or otherwise - it controlled by the manufacturer.
Was your ketchup in question a store of generic brand? If so, the ketchup concentrate may have been manufactured by someone like Del Monte of Heinz and then sold to the grocery store chain to use in their "house brands".
-
BK - Welcome to the world of baking!
Next time, for a really nice treat, try baking it in a cast iron skillet. -Which means you may need to go out and buy a cast iron skillet - they're very cheap. And always buy Lodge - they even have them "pre-seasoned" now. Well...
Place the skillet in the oven while the oven is preheating. Meanwhile, mix up your cornbread mix according to the package directions. Place a few pats of butter into the now hot pan and swirl it around a bit - DON'T forget the potholders! Pour the prepared mix into the pan, then bake until done.
And if you want to be really decadent, fry up some bacon in the skillet beforehand, but leave about two tablespoons worth of the fat in it. Then bake the cornbread in the bacon fat greased skillet! *And you can crumble the bacon on top of the batter too.
And if you want to be REALLY decadent, add a 1/2 cup of sour cream to the mix...
-I need to track down that recipe for my friend's "Slap Yo' Mama Cornbread". It's made with a can of creamed corn, sour cream and melted butter in the batter.... Sooo good that you'll slap yo' mama!
Oooh! I think I posted it here before on HHW... Hmm...
-
Well, here's one variation I found on the web... It's very close to the one my friend, Rodney, passed on to me...
Sour Cream Corn Bread
1 small can creamed corn (8 oz.)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 butter, melted (1 stick)
2 eggs
1 cup self-rising corn meal
1 t. salt
Mix all ingredients together. Pour into an preheated greased iron skillet. Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes. Enjoy!
Note: Fat-free sour cream doesn't work. However, you can used light sour cream for the same results.
-

...I also like putting corn kernels in my corn bread... and sometimes chopped up jalapenos... a few dashes of cayenne...
However, I am not a fan of sweet cornbread which is the favored variety in some pockets of the South. I usually find sweet cornbread served in BBQ places.
...OH!... and then there's Spoon Bread, which is basically like a pudding version of cornbread... YUMMERS TOO!
-
As for Olives on pizza... YUM! Black and Green! Especially with pepperoni and/or sausage.
-
And one for Mahler!

Hmmm.... Page Seven... I guess it's time to dance then... Hmm...
I'm sure there has to be some sort of Corn Bread dance somewhere...

***FEEL BETTER, TCB!***

I'm back and am the proud owner of an 8x8 Pyrex Pan. Inside the Pyrex pan is now the cornbread mix, which comes from Trader Joe's. The Pyrex Pan is now in the oven. This is the first thing I've ever baked that's not fish or meat. If this works, I may graduate to cakes and whatnot.
Just remember that even though Pyrex has been tempered to be stronger than glass, it can still shatter if exposed to sudden changes in temperature. In other words, if you want to give one of the "cracklin'" versions of cornbread a try, do NOT try it in a Pyrex pan. That would not be a pretty sight.
-
Brownies bake up especially well in 8x8 Pyrex pans too.. Hmm...

Oh... And today didn't feel like a Saturday to me either... More like a Sunday. And, boy, was I hoping against all hopes that it was Sunday by the time the second act started earlier tonight...
It was also strange which stores and restaurants chose to open or close today. I headed out between shows with the drummer to grab some dinner, and the place we wanted to go was closed. So we headed somewhere else. He really wanted enchiladas, so we found another Mexican place. We originally wanted to dine at Guajillo, but we ended up at Mexicali Blues. In any case...
Since we had plenty of time after we had finished eating, we took a walk around and did some shopping here and there. There were a lot of stores that were closed, and a bunch of other ones that were closing early (and had also opened late this morning). We finally figured out that since today was technically a holiday, then most businesses would have had to shell out holiday pay for their employees, so... In any case...
It did not feel like a Saturday to me either. And it still doesn't.
-
No, I have not opened my new Powerbook, even though it is sitting there, imploring me to. I showered, put the car away, and have been watching The Iron Giant. I can't wait for Mr. Mac Man to come Tuesday morning and set all this up.
-
And with one more post
-
One more wily post, we've achieved 8000 postings. How's THAT for a start to a New Year!
-
8,000! Are we there yet? I'm just back from dinner and gifts with DRBen and Anthony aka Baxter the Clown. We met at the Wai Cafe after my B&N shift was over and I had counseled Miss Blair about holiday help Andrew who is staying and moving upstairs to the reference section. It seems Miss Blair is also chasing cashier Martin, who I think would be a perfect beau for her, but Miss Blair needs to decide which one she is really interested in and focus her attentions on one of them; I feel she's letting all the men in the store think she's out of control. So I did my Dr Phil and then went to meet DRBen and Baxter.
We had a lovely dinner: Baxter had a veggie burger (?), DR Ben had salad, pumpkin soup, and sesame chicken, and I had salad, crab cakes, and salmon filet. All quite tasty. Then after sparkling gossip and repartee we repaired to chez Ben/Baxter for pumpkin pie with loads of whipped cream, ginger snaps, some festive cinnamon wafers, tea, and more sparkling gossip and repartee. I lent them the WHAT IF? DVD.
DRMichael Barnum, Baxter knows Paul Haber!
-
Hello, Mr. Moore! You made it home from Chelsea to the Upper West Side in quick time (an Apple Computer reference).
We just ended a loverly evening with Mr. Moore here in trendy and expensive Chelsea. We had a wonderful dinner and then pumpkin pie and Christmas cookies and blueberry tea. Much dirt was dished (although the dishes weren't dirty). Anthony and I will view Mr. Moore's copy of What If and then we will watch My Beautiful Launderette, a gift from the generous and kind Mr. Moore.
I will be back on a more regular basis on Monday morning when I have to return to work (ah, well, vacations can't last forever).
Perhaps tomorrow I will post. Till then...ttfn

I just heard the odometer turn over to 8000. Congrats to BK!

I have eaten very strangely today - one slice of ham (cold), one bite of black-eyed peas (don't ask), a little stuffing from Gelson's, popcorn, and nine hundred pieces of corn bread. I think it's very dietetic.

From the AP -
Report: Stewart Loses Decorating Contest
NEW YORK (AP) -- Martha Stewart, who built a billion-dollar media empire based on her holiday and home decorating tips, was unable to lead her team to victory in a prison decoration contest, a magazine reported.
Stewart and a team of fellow inmates at a federal prison camp in Alderson, W.Va., crafted paper cranes to be hung from the ceiling, People magazine reported in an article posted on its Web site Wednesday. They lost out to a competing team that built a nativity scene showing "pictures of snow-covered hills and sleds and clouds on the wall," the magazine quoted an inmate as saying.
Each team was given $25 worth of glitter, ribbons, construction paper and glue to build a display based on the theme "Peace on Earth," the magazine said.
Stewart was convicted along with her stockbroker of lying about why she unloaded shares of ImClone Systems Inc. stock in 2001, just before the price plunged.
She is due to be released in early March from Alderson, then must spend five months confined to her home in Bedford, N.Y.
Following the house arrest, she is scheduled to begin shooting a daytime talk show with a live studio audience.
Of course, now I want to see the pictures of the winning decorations!
-
It was a vision to EAT. Thank goodness I gave half of it away to the needy, because otherwise I would have finished the whole thing (there's still a rather large piece left. It's not the Corn Bread that's the problem, it's the half a pound of butter I put on it.
-
Incidentally, my sister did not make the cheesey potatoes as promised for New Year's Day dinner. However, the roast pork was incredibly moist and tender and tasty and the saurekraut was particularly delish.
After dinner we played a few hands of that new parlor game that's sweeping the nation, Texas Hold'em. I am generally a decent Poker player, but I stank to high Heaven at this game. As we played we sang the Texas Hold'em theme song:
"You got to know when to hold'em,
Know when to hold'em,
Know when to hold'em,
Know when to hold'em."
It was pretty funny.
I guess you had to be there.
And having downed about three or four Butterscotch Nipples wouldn't hurt, either.
-

900 pieces of cornbread?!?!? Just how many boxes of the stuff did you make?!?!
;)
-Or do you just have a really sharp knife?
I wasn't going to ask about the black-eye peas since they're traditional New Year's Day fare, but I was going to inquire about the "a little stuffing from Gelson's"... At one point and time was there more than a little stuffing from Gelson's.
Oh, and the popcorn - pre-popped, microwaved? Butter, salt? Other seasonings?
-And just to combine the two questions - Have you ever had Popcorn Stuffing? It's actually pretty good - although it would be neat if the popcorn actually popped in the Turkey - although, supposedly, that is possible.
-
Always butter on the popcorn - as if I hadn't had enough on the Corn Bread.
Welcome four GUESTS and one HIDDEN. I'd give the last piece of Corn Bread to the HIDDEN if only he/she'd come out of hiding. Put the past away - start the New Year afresh with excellent vibes and xylophones, that's what I say.

Well, one of the Food Pyramids out there does place breads, grains and cereals at the base, meaning you should eat more of those daily. So, Cornbread is both Corn and Bread. Very dietetic.
And for that half pound of butter, hey, you could just be back on the Atkins plan again. Very dietic.

This just doesn't feel like a Saturday, does it? I keep thinking it's a weekday. But tomorrow is Sunday, and I presume it won't feel like a Sunday either.

All right, I'm going for nine thousand posts.

Well, I don't want to be a zombie tomorrow like I was today, so... Off to the Land of the Wussburgers I go...
Goodnight.
-
No more wire WUSSBURGERS ever. Of course, we won't even talk about The WUSSBURGERS of Studio City, and I don't mean me. Talk about the full WUSSBURGER, the double WUSSBURGER with cheese.
-
Hisaka, speak to me, tell me things I long to hear, especially in Japanese.
-
And Jay, you are a better man than I, and a more tolerant viewer. As you know, I did not last more than an hour with Beyond the Sea, which I consider to be one of the worst movies ever made (unless it somehow becomes brilliant in its second half). I did see The Aviator, which was not so brilliant.
-
Isn't it amazing how international we've become. We've got Ozzies, we've got Japanese, we've got Brits, we've got Frenchies (and just where in tarnation IS Francois?). I think we need some Greeks (especially if they are bearing gifts), and perhaps an Eyetalian or two.
-
All right, I'm going for nine thousand posts.
Onward and upward! ;D
-
Happy 8000 posts, DR BK!
-
I have finished tomorrow's notes, which shall go up at the stroke of midnight.
-
Until then, let's get some postin' goin' on.
-
Where, for example, is Ann? Catching up?
-
I’ve just started to read past posts on the board from November 23, 2003, only from curiosity about this board’s HISTORY. And I found “Panni found this board due to her insomnia”. It’s interesting.
-
And while I've seen the perusing Pogue, I don't know that the Pogue has posted. I believe we have not had enough Pogue posts.
-
I shall post until the Pogues come home.
-
I am my own frenzy.
-
Perhaps I'll have a small slice of ham.
-
Whew! Lots of posts....and a New Year's Around the World!
Nice!
Well Sunday I will be seeing DR EVIL KURT to give him his Christmas present...delayed twice now. And we will be watching the DVD's of BROADWAY THE GOLDEN AGE and CALL ME MADAM - which he has NEVER seen!
I don't like cornbread - it's always so crumbly.
MBARNUM certainly has inter-resting friends!
-
I had beef and noodles today.....with small green peas. And some black walnut ice cream. And some potato chips.
It was wonderful. With some diet Pepsi of course. Which reminds me of a funny "drag" name I read on the internet:
Ladies And Gentlemen - stand up for Miss Tulita Pepsi!
Congratulations on 8,000 posts, MRBK!
-
I think DR HISAKA's rose photo is lovely - and her photo earlier today of the candy is wonderful.... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I found this board because bk suggested rather forcefully that I check it out.

I was NOT wussing. I was watching SAVED, which is sort of irreverent fun. BTW - It features the bk fave, Mary Louise Parker.

I have eaten very strangely today - one slice of ham (cold), one bite of black-eyed peas (don't ask), a little stuffing from Gelson's, popcorn, and nine hundred pieces of corn bread. I think it's very dietetic.
I had Cheerios, about a pound of roast chestnuts, a lot of corn bread (perhaps not 900 pieces - so I couldn't have had "half" of the whole thing), a couple of pieces of smoked turkey and a pickle -- and half a bag of pretzels and a lot of Diet Cherry Coke. Oh - and my New Year Marzipan pig.

...And now, strangely enough, I have a stomach ache.

I was about to say, before I was called a rude name, that I resolve to eat better this year.

This just doesn't feel like a Saturday.

How about just eating like a normal person - you know, three meals a day, or at least two meals a day. You know, meals, not chestnuts and a pickle.
-
This just doesn't feel like Saturday.

I didn't think that was a rude name. Skinny Runt - that would be a Rude Name.

In a minute, it won't be.

And a quick one for Mahler.

The midnight hour is upon us. Therefore, I shall post the new notes.
