Haines His Way

We knew the holiday train started at 2nd and Houston at 12 so we walked over yo Herakd Square to take the  downtown F to 2nd .

Yesterday morning we took the 953 into Penn and arrived just before 11.

And wine, of course. A brunello and a barolo.

They provided beef tenderloin, pork belly, plenty of garden-grown veggies like cucumber and radishes, homemade bread and more.

I brought quick pickled carrots, a radish dip, crostini with pork tenderloin and pimento cheese on top under the broiler, spiced almonds, crudités and more.

We decided to graze tonight. 27 small dishes. Quite wonderful.

Back from Christmas dinner with friends.

Listening to the Georgie Fame version.

I love the Stan Freberg/Ann Miller soup commercial. I love the We've Only Just Begun commercial. There was a acne or skin problem commercial I loved that had a song called It Won't Hurt to Try It - they tried like the dickens to get it to be a hit, but it didn't work. Several singles were released, sung by Tony Scotti, Jim Nabors, Tim Morgan, Brit Georgie Fame, and my actor friend Michael Burns - in fact, he gave me the single of his version. It's a really pretty song and some of the arrangements are lovely. I have all the versions in my music folder, although I keep searching for more and more importantly, I keep searching for the actual commercial with no luck.

I did not expect it to rain while we walked & did not wear a raincoat.  Now my clothes are drying.

Calgon, take me away!
