DR SWW - There's no such thing as "too many hush puppies".

*I still remember the family outings to "Family Fish House" growing up - my brothers and I would usually end up filling up on the free(!) hush puppies that we wouldn't have room in our tummies for our entrees. In any case...

As for your surplus of hush puppies, you can freeze them, then just reheat them in the oven for a bit. However, since the recipe is a "cheap" one, I don't think there's too much of a problem with throwing the rest of the batter in the sink/trash.

However, you could also keep the leftover batter for a day or two, then thin it out a bit with some water, and used it to coat some hot dogs for homemade corndogs.

DRs Matt H and RLP - I hesitate to mention it, but my MGM Musicals Vol. 2 box did arrive from Amazon yesterday.

I delighted for you but DISGUSTED and ANGRY for myself. I didn't order mine from Amazon; I went the Deep Discount route, and for the last several box sets I've gotten from DD (including the Tyrone Power and Esther Williams boxes), I'd order on Wednesday, get the shipping notice Thursday, and the box would arrive on Monday.

Same series of events with the musicals box but it didn't come on Monday OR Tuesday.

Hence my disgust.

It has just GOT to come today!

...Or you could improvise griddle cakes the next morning for breakfast. But those would be tasty with some Grade B Maple Syrup and butter on them. Or some Lyle's Golden Syrup.

Good morning!

It was cool enough to have the doors and windows opened last night and this morning, but I've already closed things up and turned the central A/C back on. The humidity was moving in quickly this morning, and I was starting to sweat inside the house.

Matt H. · « **Reply #66 on:** July 25, 2007, 08:00:07 AM »

My friend Hal stopped by this morning to bring me my birthday present.

No, it's not my birthday (not for a month and and some days), but he had two copies of HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS and gave me one for my birthday. SInce I hadn't read HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE, he brought me that, too.

I will be starting HALF BLOOD PRINCE when I go back down in a bit before starting lunch preparation.

Matt H. · « **Reply #67 on:** July 25, 2007, 08:01:58 AM »

Assuming that I'll be getting the MGM musical box in the mail today, I will first watch THE PIRATE and then watch WORDS & MUSIC. I like/love all of the musicals in this box, even THAT MIDNIGHT KISS with Kathryn Grayson, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that these DVDs look at least as good as the prints TCM has been airing of them over the last year. I have made DVD-Rs of many of them not knowing at the time that Warner was going to release them on commercial DVDs.

Matt H. · « **Reply #68 on:** July 25, 2007, 08:04:17 AM »

I'm going to have three Buena Vista TV sets arriving probably tomorrow (THE MUPPET SHOW 2, HOME IMPROVEMENT 7, and EIGHT SIMPLE RULES 1), so that's going to be occupying my time for the next week or so.

That's why I'd love to get these musical DVDs today so I can begin watching them before the onslaught of sitcoms arrives. Of course, I'm greatly looking forward to THE MUPPET SHOW. Some of those episodes I haven't seen since they first aired almost 30 years ago. (That CAN'T be true!)

Matt H. · « **Reply #69 on:** July 25, 2007, 08:05:11 AM »

And I have episodes of BURN NOTICE and MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST to watch today as I wait for the mail to be delivered.

HUSH PUPPIES

JMK · « **Reply #71 on:** July 25, 2007, 08:11:04 AM »

Our family dogs when I was a child were always Basset Hounds--you wouldn't think so, but those puppies

can RUN when there's a rabbit or somesuch to chase!!

JMK · « **Reply #72 on:** July 25, 2007, 08:12:01 AM »

I probably shouldn't admit this, but my sisters used to tie Happy's (our first basset) ears on top of her head (she didn't seem to mind).

Lovely photos from DR JASON.

Sherlock continues to charm the internet!!!

Funding vibes for MR BK.

Whatever happened to Dinah's old best friends?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #74 on:** July 25, 2007, 08:17:59 AM »

Time for some exercise.

Jason · « **Reply #75 on:** July 25, 2007, 08:20:56 AM »

I'm up...I'm up... Is it time to go back to bed yet?

Of course it isn't - it's nearly time to meet DR Jose for a day of fun! At least we HOPE it will be a day of fun.

I had hush puppies this week for the first time in many, many months. They were quite tasty and I would like some more, please...

I got an email from my dad today that was loaded with - I'm assuming - unintentional guilt. Something along the lines of "it was good to see you...your mom was lonely last night (he's out of town on business)...it would help if you were closer...etc." OY! Of course, she also asked me when I was going to get married and have her some grandchildren - again - and I was very confused by that because we've had this talk already...

May I ask what this choreographer's exercise program is?

Oh, and GOOD MORNING!

Jeanne · « **Reply #78 on:** July 25, 2007, 08:23:34 AM »

Shall we discuss exercise programs? Or is that taboo here? BK tells us about his jogs.

This H/K stretches every morning. She is also TRYING to get back into a regular routine on her stationary bike. It's amazing how difficult it can be to get back into a routine that you've done for years and years.

Jeanne · « **Reply #79 on:** July 25, 2007, 08:24:22 AM »

And, of course, we have JOSE's reservoir jaunts. And his walking/eating tours.

DR TCB's last post was a week ago [18-Jul]. Hope he's OK!

Ask BK: I thought you said you had misread the University guy's resignation letter and that he's not leaving until next year, or did I imagine that along with The Drowsy Chaperone's US closing (thanks, Ben, I saw your clarification)? This can of course be counted as a rhetorical question.

And that's why MBarnum's mom is in "the home."

My heart goes out to you about that. I'm sure others on this forum endured similar guilt trips and pressure, and it's infuriating to have to be the victim of it. YOUR happiness and well-being should be the ONLY consideration, and to put you in a position where you feel less than great about yourself especially now that you're an adult and make your own decisions about your life is completely unfair and thoughtless.

But no one ever said that parents are infallible or even reasonable about certain areas of their children's lives. Mine certainly weren't.

I'm heading down now to start HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE and then begin lunch preparation.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #88 on:** July 25, 2007, 09:03:15 AM »

Mothers are good at laying on guilt even if you only move two blocks away from home and give them grandchildren. It is one of our gifts.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #89 on:** July 25, 2007, 09:04:52 AM »

Good Afternoon!

So, what to do today? Gypsy again? "Hairspray" (again for me, first time for DR Jason)? "My Best Friend" down at IFC? Or some combination thereof?

In any case...
