Well, you've read the notes, the notes were both whelmed and overwhelmed, and now it it time for you to post until the whelmed and overwhelmed cows come home.

I tried a new pain-killer last night,  It worked well until around 1:00, then it was back to hell for me. Around 2, I took a Tizanidine abnd slept rather well until 6:15 when I fed the cats.  Around 6:45 I decided to get up and sit in a tub of hot water, so while the tub was filling, I washed their bowls and cleaned the litter.  I want to make the bed and relax before I leave for physical therapy around 9:30.

I watched the first part of Ken Burns' new country music documentary last night.  My Appalachian Kentucky dad would have loved it.  I enjoyed it a lot and I'm looking forward to part 2 next week.

Yesterday was successful (I guess) but brutal. I left the house at 9 am and got back at 11 pm.

As I sat there during book scenes at the piano run-through last night, I seriously wondered why we perpetuate the tradition of cramming so many elements into this one day that we like to call “Tech Sunday”.

All I can say is:  I’m still here.

T.O.D.

Back in the day, there was a drive-in in Seattle (Burger Master) near the University District.  They made the best burgers I ever had.  Very messy, but delicious.

I don't know if the place is still there.

DR Elmore, you are correct in thinking this seemed like a short rehearsal period.

With the amount of time it took to cast the show (fortunately, that turned out nearly perfectly) and working around people’s pre-planned summer vacations and whatnot, this thing got a late start.

TOD:  At least in Manhattan, the restaurant Island Burger for years had been the best burger and it  was fantastic. 
Title: Re: WHEN WHELMED BECOMES OVERWHELMED AND VICE VERSA
Post by: FJL on September 16, 2019, 05:50:44 AM
(further re the TOD)

After they (Island Burger) caught on even further,  the product itself seems to have changed, and I wonder if they were using different meat and/or a different meat supplier.  (not necessarily downgraded, but different than what I'd loved before).   I'm pretty sure it's not that my tastes have changed, but the product just wasn't the same as it was.

Five Napkin Burger (on 9th Avenue) is the most consistently good that I've found these days.  With that name, you'd expect their burger to be great,  But the really surprising enjoyable dish at Five Napkin Burger has been their matzoh ball soup!

I liked DR FJL's story about Phyllis Newman.  When I was growing up, she seemed to be on EVERY television show...the game shows, the variety shows, and the talk shows.

She always seemed to be having fun.....

I love chargrilled burgers best. My late friend Bob used to grill the 50/50/50 burger. Ground beef, bacon and brisket all together. Delish. The nice thing, too, is that he serves the beef over a salad, so i don’t have to eat or avoid eating a bun. And it wasn’t just greens. The salad has artichoke hearts, black olives, garbanzo beans and more.

TOD - we like burgers, probably more than we should.  Five Guys is a fast favorite and we like Red Robin for more of a sit-down experience.  On one of our recent NYC trips, we had really good burgers at Brooklyn Diner in Times Square.

One memorable burger experience was at La Fonda, a fancy hotel in Santa Fe.  We went there for lunch with my Mom when Rob was about 11 and that's what he ordered.  It was HUGE and we teased him about the burger that was bigger than his head.
Title: Re: WHEN WHELMED BECOMES OVERWHELMED AND VICE VERSA
Post by: John G. on September 16, 2019, 09:36:22 AM
Santa Fe is also the home of my favorite burger. It was at a roadside shack called Bobcat Bites. The burger was served a perfect medium rare and there was little to detract from the freshness of the meat. It was my birthday. I was with friends, and all was right with the world.

I agree.  It's rather inconvenient (of course, not impossible) to open the packages when the labels are placed on them that way. :-\

Physical therapy was painful, but I am so happy I am back to it.  Gurjeet is such a wonderful therapist, and I was welcomed back by the Jen and Lisa.  Everyone else there is new since I was there last in 2016.  Since this issue is a new one, the stretches were new and really painful, but I felt better after.  Now I'm aching.  We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

I will make sure that we do!  I know one of the other two actors playing Dana, my friend Tom.  We've been in several shows together and we've known each other for quite a few years.  I don't know the other guy.  Hopefully if we're paired together, he'll want to rehearse, too.

So, Zero Theorem could have been better. The script isn't as good as it should be. Or maybe it could have lost 10 minutes. The visuals were so overwhelming, there was a sense of things being padded. But I'm glad I saw it.

There's a scene near the beginning when the hero undergoes a health screening. It's so harrowing and sickly funny that, sadly, it reminded me of an even greater nightmare version of some of the stories Elmore has shared about his battles with health screenings.

We had a BIG storm on Saturday night. One of the kids was scared, so I wrapped her in a blanket and held her until the storm passed. Once a mom ...

Awww.

And now, I'm leaving work very early.  My friend Margo and her kids and I will be joining her friend Marsha for dinner at Budd Bay Café (http://www.buddbaycafe.com/).  They have a featured Sunset Dinner between 4:00 and 6:00, but I'll see what's on the rest of the menu before I decide.

Be back later.

Dinner was pretty good.  I almost got one of their beef burgers in honor of today's Topic of the Day, but I got their Mozzarella Chicken Burger instead.

It was good, but not as good as Red Wagon's Grilled Chicken Burger (http://www.redwagonburgers.com/menu/).  Red Wagon's is literally twice as big as Budd Bay's and half the price!  I'd also put several of Red Wagon's burgers on my TotD list!  Highly recommended, if you're in the Tumwater area!

About tonight's dinner, everyone else got items from the Sunset Dinner menu and thoroughly enjoyed them.

They're pretty good when I spritz them with some olive oil spray and reheat them in my toaster oven.

I also set up my DVD burner to burn the first four episodes of the newst season of The Affair onto a DVD for my friend Margo.

I also recorded the last six episodes of Younger for Margo, but forgot to give her that DVD.

I like the Five Napkin burger, but my new obsession is Fred's at 83rd and Amsterdam.  It's really tasty.

I still miss the burgers at Barrymore's.


How come no one ever told me that Fred had his own restaurant?  And he still makes Skip do all the cooking?

Do you know how much the Sunset dinners cost?  They sound great a great deal (of food).

The Red Wagon only lists their address in Tacoma, near where I used to live.

Interesting.  Their website says that the Tumwater restaurant was the first, and that they're "operated by two different managements."

If it was a burger place on the same street where I work, then it probably was Red Wagon.

Ahh.  It could have been Pepperjack, which was there before Red Wagon, which (according to RW's website) has been there since 2013.
