Tom, the music director was Jeff Bell. He's a nice guy.

Yes, George, I know who he is. I just had Thanksgiving dinner with him..... for the second year in a row.
Well, actually you did know, because I told you that Jeff was there, and you said you didn’t know him very well.
And Scott Pinkston was at dinner last night, as well.
Whoops! I barely caught that one. Spellcheck tried to make Jonathan’s last night Graffiti.
We had a nice Thanksgiving get-together yesterday with my son, his lady and her family.
Nice to finally have family here in Austin.
The Wrath of Daddy is the title of my soon to be published horror novella.
Then I went to Jerry's Deli for a sandwich. I figured after everyone stuffing themselves to the bursting point last night and having tons of leftovers that Jerry's would be empty. Well, no, it was jammed and I got some lox to go and left.
Because, yes, I am lazy enough to teach a child how to fix Thanksgiving dinner.
lectiver mashed potatoes brown in the skillet with eggs over easy for me
Of course there was a proper pot of hot tea
My neighbor Mark, the jazz pianist, just brought me a plate of garlic shrimp and rice, which I am now having for dinner. It's really delicious.
My son and his family were all sick yesterday. Wae-Ling ate an entire plate of just turkey, dressing, and gravy.
The garlic scampi was very garlic-y and quite delish. I walked to the market and got a few things. The annual Christmas Tree Lane has been set up at the corner market, so the corner of 82nd and Amsterdam smells of pine. It will remain up until Christmas Eve.

Then she had to go home and have dinner with her family. Which was one of those boxed meals. I don't know why her dad won't let her fix their dinner.
And, of course, she played with Leonard.
We probably all get a lot of email, but today was unreal. I usually delete 1/3 to 1/2 of it without even opening it. It still piles up. I was, however, able to make a few purchases at better prices than usual.

The word I’d use is smart.
Dad is back in the hospital.
I got word while ushering the river lighting parade.
We need some Creature reviews. And we need people to actually watch the DVD :)

My mother made left over mashed potato patties, fried with Golden Syrup. They are soooo good. Does Vixdad like Lyle's Golden Syrup?
We usually just use PGTips tea bags which we order from EnglandOf course there was a proper pot of hot tea
Made with loose leaf tea?

Is that on the Riverwalk?
I am absolutely disgusted at the weather forecasts for Sunday and Monday. They’re not even sure what this area will get, but whatever the type of precip or the mix turns out to be, it couldn’t come at a worse time. It’s our tech week, the cleanup could be difficult depending on what comes down, I’ve got a dental appointment that’s tough to reschedule ... and you name it.
George, I have found with the cheesecakes that I have made, people say they taste better if they sit for a couple of days before cutting into them. Do you have any leftovers? You could see if there’s any difference.
I was watching thoroughly Modern Millie when the power went out. I told a friend in a text it was due to too much Julie Andrews.
;)
DR George I think your cheesecake just needed to set longer. How much sour cream is used for the topping? Is there any in the cake aside from the toppjng.
This has been a wild afternoon. Stella has escaped the apartment three times within the space of 30 minutes and she's facing the Wrath of Daddy.
We went to Beaches. I am stuffed.
We found out that a regular customer, Roger, whom we have become friendly with passed away yesterday. We knew this was going to happen, still it is very sad. Last week his waitress & good friend/extended family member gave us a card to sign. She said he appreciated what Keith wrote.
The bar tender stopped by to say hello & was also sad about his passing. Because the wait staff is encouraged to be personal with the customers you really get to visit with them and to know them better. This waitress became friends with Roger years ago as he was a customer. Then she introduced him to other customers she became close with, and then we met them all. She made many trips to visit Roger while he was too sick to get out.

He does not, he is not a fan of anything overly sweet

The power went out 20 minutes ago. The bird hasn’t stopped screaming since.
I have three candles burning and they ain’t putting out enough light.

One of the local news said that Olympia got down to 18°F this morning! It was the lowest in the whole state! The temperature at the time of the broadcast (about an hour ago) had gotten up to all of 26°.

I've heard that, too. I do have about a quarter of the cheesecake left, so I can see what it's like after some extra waiting time...not that I really want to wait to eat what's left. ;)
And the bird has stopped screaming.
DR George I think your cheesecake just needed to set longer. How much sour cream is used for the topping? Is there any in the cake aside from the toppjng.
The topping was 1/2 cup sour cream plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and the cheesecake itself has 1/2 cup.

Jane, my condolences on Roger's passing. :(

That was a very nice, if sad, story.
I wish I had seen the national tour when it came to Seattle.
Good night.
