I also noticed that Noel is not here either. Did I miss something?

Ron you are back! What size pan do you bake the corn bread in & what oil do you suggest using?

I use an iron skillet...12-inch. I put the skillet with a bit of oil in the oven while pre-heating.

When the oven is F 350, I pick up pan (using oven mitts) and slowly swirl canola oil around to coat bottom and sides of pan. I then pour batter into pan and close oven door. I use canola oil for all cooking that involves baking in oven or frying at high temps. I use olive oil for remainder of things I cook

When it's done, the cornbread will be separated from the side of the pan...and it should slide right out.

DR Jane...see above!!!!

If it stays wrapped, you have to keep it dry! Isn't that right, Nurse Jane?

You try keeping a cut on a finger dry.

I just went through this with an injury I received recently while shoveling snow. I rubbed a spot clean of skin and had to change the band aid about ten times a day, for over a week.

Except that I’m a ditz I have no idea how I missed that. No wonder yours is so good-you use an iron skillet. Now I’m wondering what to do. We use to have one but that won’t do me much good.

Do you have any 9 X 9 baking pans?

Something that would work, too, is a large pie dish -- the kind you'd bake a deep dish pie in.

A 9 X 12 pan would work, but you might have to check it early in the baking process as you won't want to burn it.

Another idea: Cupcake tins...cornbread "muffins"!!!

The Lovely Wife and I took Tewkes for a long walk tonight so he could surf the doggie internet and check and send his pee-mail. The sunset was gorgeous and the views were clear all the way to the ocean.

Jane, assume you mean the lovely Janet Greek.

Yes, you should just be able to click "ON AIR". And mine just comes on in windows media. This station gets even better for us west coast folk at around 8 or 9, the late evening hours back east, where it's just almost pure music. Every once in a while, I have the station re-buffer...and sometimes, disconnect altogether...But that is rarely...I believe it is twenty-four hours...

Danise · « **Reply #223 on:** February 04, 2005, 06:54:22 PM »

"pee-mail" B & B both know all about that.

Night, everyone!

Yes I do.

Do you have the radio on now? I'm not getting anything.

Maybe Ann, after she's caught up, can answer the TCB question. As for Noel, he's gone from all boards and ngs, as far as I know.

DR. Elmoore:

Saw Ben Bagley's thank you to you, "Larry Moore of the ***** ****** for his expert music copying

and he also thanked Treat Williams. What was his relationship with Ben.

He also thanked Jean Seberg and the late and great Brenda Vacarro. Did he get who died mixed up?

And what is Dennis Deal doing these days? (His headshot makes him look like Chuck Norris)

I am a fantastic copyist! I have no idea what Ben's relationship if any was with Treat Williams. Which recording were those notes on? If it's the Bernstein, I never got the CD. Some of those late albums were dreadful.

I suspect some of the Seberg/Vacarro comments might have been slams. Ben used those covers for a lot of ax grinding, but I was not so close to Ben to know any of this madness. I have no idea what Dennis is up to. I haven't seen him for probably close to twenty years. He was a lovely man, kind, funny, very talented.

I cannot remember if it was DR derB or DR SWW that recommended "Racing Stripes" as a good family movie, (the age is in and the mind is out) but thank you to whomever it was Tonight being DH's gaming night, The Vixter and her friend Emily & I had a girls' night out

We went to the "China Buffet" and ate many wonderful things and then enjoyed the movie. I think the movie would have been a tad improved without the "poop' jokes, (but that's just me) but all in all it was a warm, funny, family movie,

Thanks again for suggesting it.

Have eaten my fill. Went to Gelson's - they have a carving board section in the deli, where each day they make fresh turkey and prime rib. I had three slices of the prime rib and some shrimp cocktail. Quite yummilicious.

Did you enjoy your soak bk?

Have you had your lovely steak and salad?

Did you decide about the reading?

Three questions and its not even ask bk day!

All questions answered except the soak, which was lovely. I was in the pool for a half-hour.

Unfortunately not, even if there wasn't the babysitter issue, I work on LI and don't even get off until 5 or 5:30, I'd never make it into the city in time.

Bill mught be able to make it though, depending on his teaaching schedule...I'll ask him.

I am nearly done with Kritzerland, which I love as much as much as Benjamin Kritzer.. Which reminds me I still owe you my thoughts on Writer's Block !

vixmom · « **Reply #236 on:** February 04, 2005, 07:46:14 PM »

I did enjoy Writers Block, but was a bit perplexed by the end. But then something you said on this site about the writing process made me go back and reread the last few chapters again and I got an entirely different perspective and it all made sense.

It was a very clever way of doing the story with the different "voices" (I am intentionally trying to be a bit vague here lest those who have not read it have things spoiled for them)

I was thrown at first because I was expecting a certain "formula" and you completely pulled the rug out from under me!

I have recommended it as well as the Kritzer books to a few friends

POPPYCOCK
Nonsense, rubbish.
It’s a fine-sounding expletive, but hardly heard on anybody’s lips these days, and with a dated feel. It seems eminently English: think of elderly ex-Indian-Army colonels in retirement in Tunbridge Wells exploding in wrath over some supposed mismanagement of the country’s affairs and writing disgusted letters to The Times about it. And most of the citations for it in the big Oxford English Dictionary are from British sources. But, as the OED reminds us, the word is actually American in origin, first turning up there about 1865. The OED is silent on its origin, but most modern dictionaries know well where it comes from: the Dutch word pappekak for soft faeces. The word was presumably taken to the USA by Dutch settlers; the scatological associations were lost when the word moved into the English-language community. The first half of the word is closely related to our pap for infants’ soft food; the second half is essentially the same as the old English cack for excrement; the verb form of this word is older than the noun, and has been recorded as far back as the fifteenth century. So there’s no link with the vulgar meaning of cock. Nor is it linked to the sense of cock for rubbish (as in phrases like that’s a load of old cock), as that’s a shortened form of cock and bull story, which comes from a fable concerning a bull and a cockerel.

Jane, I had the station on when I composed the email...It usually stays on most of the day unless I'm playing CDs, like now. I had to switch over to soundtracks, because I'm doing writing work which requires wordless music...Prince of Foxes, The King's Thief, Moonfleet, Helen of Troy...

No...I meant glass pie plate. It can withstand temps like F 350 for the cooking time. It would work beautifully.
