Soy sauce on ice cream? What is it, fish?

Pool man came by and made sure no damage had been done. Garage is now dry, so I'm hoping nothing got wacky in there from the little water that escaped into it.

I love HOKUMOKU cookies.

MBarnum · « **Reply #33 on:** June 23, 2005, 08:32:19 AM »

I forgot about the Frosted Circus Animal cookies...those are my favorite store bought cookies.

I can remember having some wonderful tasting cookies, and other snacks, when I was in Japan...I don't recall the names, but I think I saved some of the packages...I know the name of one items was MIKE.

What I liked about the snacks in Japan was that they weren't as sweet as those on America...American snacks seem to be just a bit too sweet, I think...at least for me.

Hey, JMK, if, when I get to the theater on Friday night, it is all sold out....will you take pity on me and still let me in! I will still pay for a ticket and will happily sit or stand anywhere!

I just worry that I will leave the wedding party and drive out there only to be turned away at the gate

That would make me sad.

MBarnum, you'll get in, don't worry.

Dear BK I am so confused. You have a bush on your roof?

I actually don't really care for packaged cookies (which is probably a good thing). But I love homemade cookies, especially chocolate chocolate chip. I don't make them too often, except when I need a lot of cookies.

YOU'RE confused? Imagine how I feel, what with a bush on my roof and all.

If I recall, dear reader Jose made some sort of cookie that was quite yummilicious.

JMK · « **Reply #39 on:** June 23, 2005, 08:45:23 AM »

We'll get you in, MB, though we have just had a big run of selling tickets. Yay!!!

BK, I did what you asked, but that ending on the Jackie DeShannon tunes is just not working for me, but we will leave it for now. It's just that that whole chorus builds to the cadence back in F and the first 4 bars need the second 4 to complete the phrase and it sounds kind of --------

-----unfinished.

The good news is that the new ending on the Love Medley is working well.

Called the floor refinishing guy, who's coming tomorrow. Hopefully this can be fixed fairly easily as it is the biggest ugliest dark mar right where you have to walk from the living room back the hall and it's driving me completely BONKERS (a short, scenic drive, I might add).

bk · « **Reply #40 on:** June 23, 2005, 08:51:13 AM »

Well, call me and let's fix it if it isn't working - or play it for me over the phone so I can hear it - I don't really care what it is as long as it goes back somehow and ends big.

Another vote for Pecan Sandies - maybe it's a Midwestern thang, DR CP.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #44 on:** June 23, 2005, 09:20:52 AM »

Thanks for the museum photos DR's LAURA & SANDRA. Now I want to go - but except to just a museum that don't allow no kids in to get in my way and stand in front of stuff and talk real loud and stuff like that, ya know?

Sturm und drang at I'LL BE BACK BEFORE MIDNIGHT - turns out our set is impossible to light and paint. Who would have thunk such a thing? And so the people I asked in MARCH to help me but they couldnt' commit to the project are now telling me it has to be redone. Cousin Brad the set builder is NOT happy - and I am not so excited myself.

So there will be drama AGAIN today - offstage. Oh well.

And even though we are firing a 12 gauge shotgun filled with blanks TWICE during the show, have a strobe light, three people end up dead including one with a hatchet in his back, a dug-up dead body hanging in the doorway. AND incest - I am sure we will get a letter from someone complaining because someone lit a cigarette onstage.

Well, don't forget to place those buckets of sand off each side of the stage.

Most favorite cookies (that I can think of before I rush off to work):

Nutter Butters
Mother's Taffy Sandwich Cookies (why the name? they're not really taffy or even taffy-like at all!)
Home-baked Nestle's Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies
Oreo's (my favorite!)
Pecan Sandies (I first discovered these when my family was living in Colorado and have loved them ever since)
Port of Subs has fresh baked cookies that are huge and their white chocolate, macadamia nut cookies are the best!

Raisins in anything: :P

ANZAC Biscuits....

So, Jose (or anyone), what's "desiccated coconut"?? Sounds disgusting!

It's a fancy term for shredded and flaked and dried coconut. Health food stores carry it. The sweetened shredded coconut available in most grocery stores is not the same. Dessicated coconut is not sweetened. However, I have come across recipes for ANZAC Biscuits that call for shredded coconut. I guess it depends upon how sweet you want your biscuits.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #52 on:** June 23, 2005, 10:01:50 AM »

Oh, and dessicated coconut is usually very fine in texture - like the coconut that dusts those date bars or on the outside of Chick-O-Stix.

Jose, are you talking about the Andrew Sullivan column in the Advocate to which Michelangelo Signorile (another Gay columnist) responded? Or is there something else going on?

Well, since this is a family site, I will spare this site the details. In the meantime, check your e-mail.

Ah, yes. I had read about that yesterday. I didn't realize it was taking effect so soon.
