Well, you've read the notes, the notes had an inkling of some notes, and now it is time for you to post until the inkling of an idea cows come home.

Re the microwaving of the baked potato: I tried the five and five but it was just too much.  I found another site with a different recommendation and that's what I tried and it worked perfectly.  Four minutes, then turn over for another three-and-a-half.  There IS a potato setting but I don't quite know how to punch it in - it's not just a button.

So, last night, I watched the late evening news in hope that they would reassure us that these quakes were not a foreshadowing of The Big One.  Instead, they put on this yo-yo professor from the University of Washington, who says, “Yes, any time you have a cluster of small quakes, it could mean we are ready for The Big One.”

After finishing up last night's posts, I want a baked potato!  I was thinking that you might roll the baked potato on a hot griddle to crisp up the skin. 

So many of the Idahos I buy in New York are loaded with dark spots.  They freak me out.

Thatch and Stella are getting along pretty well.  He's no longer running from her. 

Last night, when she jumped on him, he fought back, slapped her a few times, and when she jumped off my bed and ran away, he followed her.  Annabelle has decided to ignore her.  This morning, after they ate, Stella jumped onto the bed and ran to Annabelle, who was grooming herself.  Annabelle immediately jumped up into the bgookcases to avoid her.  Stella was not perturbed in the least.  Instead, she found a new toy.

It's funny about microwaved baked potatoes. I remember hearing in the 1970s, when microwave ovens were the latest thing, that baked potatoes were a great thing to use these newfangled devices for. And to this day, I have never tried it myself.

That sounds more reasonable though, still it is different than baked in an oven.

Count me in as one who has never tasted Skip's fried chicken.

We haven't had that in along while, because of my food issues. 

But the flank steak, even without fried chicken,  is worth taking a trip to NYC for.  :). I do not understand what makes it so great, it just is.  This is the part of beef that when I was growing up, was unceremoniously called "Flanken."

DR JEANNE it would be dangerous for me to live in such a neighborhood......the theater is in a college town, so in May & June on move out days - the students leave a LOT of things on the street as well......fun!

The students' wastefulness is good for community theaters. I never thought about it that way.

I had a tax issue to deal with and that has been done. It's one of those chores that should be quick and easy, but due either to bureaucracy or high call volume can be a real nuisance. I requested a call back, my call was returned, the guy I spoke to was pleasant but understandably brisk, and I can now check that off my list.

Our director is NOT a respecter of his actors' time.  He has said we should be there at 5 o'clock for a costume pull.....

The costumer could have come and gotten our measurements (I would think essential for any costume pull) at any other rehearsal when we were just sitting around.....

And then had them ready for us at our next rehearsal to try on....

Instead we have to be there at 5 o'clock and wait around and wait around.....and wait....

Yikes! :o I've never been in a show where something like that happened.  It's always been getting measurements, then the costumer gets costumes, then we try them on during a regular rehearsal.  How simple is that??

Grant and I went over to the food court at the mall and we had Panda Express - it wasn't half bad.  I had the chop suey, orange chicken, and kung pao chicken.  The first two items were fine - not great - but fine.  The kung pao was so spicy that I only had a couple of bites.  So, calorie-wise, it was very friendly.  Next time, it's the Philly cheesesteak.

Then I came home, prepared all the audio tracks and got those where they needed to go, then I went and picked up packages, then came home.  Now I'm listening to the last of the Pfitzner box set, and then it's on to Nino Rota - five volumes of his orchestral works that no one seems to know were ever released - all new recordings on Decca.

I like Panda Express.  I usually get the chow mein, kung pow chicken (I like the peanuts and the overall spicy-ness, but don't eat the actual chili peppers that are in it) and the black pepper chicken. :)

DR ELMORE everyone starts someplace.  Things like this happen when we get Off The Board directors....

I survived....and the rehearsing part of the evening was actually very good....and fun.

Our girl who identifies as a boy said that they feel like a piece of furniture rather than an actor.....and thinks there must be something more they can do with the part.

The part is about 10 lines in a fantasy in which the wife imagines her husband is dallying with a very young girl......

Sometimes a hot dog is just a hot dog.....but they have made arrangements to talk to the actress playing the wife to discover the extent of her imagination and some other BS.....

Check out this story on the cute rabbits of Richmond.
