I don’t remember going to Amber’s in No. Hollywood but it is possible. In '74 we moved to Reseda, into our first home of our own. By the end of '76 we were vegetarians.

Rodzinski the puppy bowl sounds so cute.

Can it be? Does Amber's still exist? Out of curiosity, I did a search. There is an Amber's Chicken and Donuts listed on Burbank Ave, either in Encino or Van Nuys. Somehow, I vaguely remember donuts also being on the bill of fare or is this my imagination? I'll call the number and find out.

Just got off the phone. The Amber's Chicken is the apparently the same one or a branch of the same one. The lady said they had been there for twenty some years. So it's either a branch that has always existed or it's where they went after they left Woodman and Ventura. The lady seemed bus and had an accent so it was rather unclear.

We'll have to try it out BK and see if our memories of its deliciousness are accurate. I don't think I ever tried their donuts.

I can't help you with your TWILIGHT ZONE question, DR MBarnum. I bought the episodes of TWILIGHT ZONE that I wanted to own on those individual DVD releases (3 or 4 episodes per disc) and have no intention of re-buying those. Same with STAR TREK. I bought the original releases (all in used bins) and will not spring for the new boxed sets even though they would take up far less shelf space.

I've picked out my DVD for tomorrow if I can get around to watching it: COME BACK LITTLE SHEBA. haven't seen it in a long time and will look forward to experiencing it again.

I did get my friend's new HDTV re-calibrated for him early this afternoon, and as a reward, his wife gave me an entire cooked ham! Really! I couldn't have been more amazed.

BTW, it was delicious. And no, I didn't eat the whole thing. But I'll be snacking on it over the next couple of days.

According to the map, Amber's is at the intersection of Balboa and Burbank. Right by some golf course.

Amber's - I may scope it out - do a drive by. Where exactly is it - on Ventura?

The Studio is indeed a bookstore - Bookstar.

Jane · « **Reply #190 on:** February 06, 2005, 08:13:42 PM »

I look forward to hearing more about Amber's. Sad to leave these fond memories but I must go-'night.

bk · « **Reply #191 on:** February 06, 2005, 08:14:42 PM »

We were posting at the same time. I'll do a drive by tomorrow and see if it resembles what we remember.

I shall be in the Jacuzzi if anyone needs me - another six degrees and it shall be ready for my aching bones.

Jane · « **Reply #193 on:** February 06, 2005, 08:16:12 PM »

And what is the big park I would have walked to?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #194 on:** February 06, 2005, 08:17:08 PM »

The Puppy Bowl is still on for those who are interested. It is actually on the Animal Planet channel.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #195 on:** February 06, 2005, 08:19:08 PM »

Jane, on BBC 7, they have been playing a dramatization of DAUGHTER OF TIME in their "Listen Again" section...unfortunately, we've missed some of the episodes, you can listen to the last seven days of it however: www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/listenagain/monday

Rodzinski · « **Reply #196 on:** February 06, 2005, 08:22:24 PM »

It would be great if you were to find at least some similar essence of the Amber's you remember. Mainly, tasty chicken. How nice it is to have something you were sure you'd never have again.

I shall know this in March, when I go to LA on a biz trip and walk into a Shakey's.

Well, I tuned in to the Super Bowl in time for the halftime show. Is it just me, or is Paul McCartney starting to look freakishly like Dame Maggie Smith?
Fell asleep during the second half, woke up in time to catch the last few minutes. Made some penne pasta with sauce for dinner. Taking a cue from a recipe I found, I added a bit of sour cream to the regular sauce. It's surprisingly good....makes it a bit creamy.
Now watching American Dad...so far, it's ok

My apologies to anyone who read this before I changed it! I had no intention of damning Maggei Smith

I tuned it in, and Buster immediately focused on the barking, looking at the screen trying to figure out what was going on.

Now he and his sis, Bonnie, are wrassling.

Occasionally, after one of the puppies has apparently done his business on the field, a referee appears and calls a penalty, then cleans up the poop. Really weird television.

Not just you, Ann. Paul looks bad.

The only park I know of around those parts was Hazeltine Park north of Magnolia. Was it that far?

bk · « **Reply #201 on:** February 06, 2005, 08:45:35 PM »

Made it ma! Top of the world!

Sandra · « **Reply #202 on:** February 06, 2005, 08:47:41 PM »

Boy, that Super Bowl sure was exciting. Especially that one part when that one player did that thing with the ball. (Can you tell I didn't watch the game?) We were too busy playing cards and eating Carvel's ice cream cake. Yum!!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #203 on:** February 06, 2005, 08:56:35 PM »

That was a great part of the game, Sandra. Very eventful and skillful.

Time for ol' Rodzinski to hit the road to dreamland.

Steve Cochran is good in White Heat.

"Puppy fowl, fifty yard-line!" Scoop!

Did the Oriloes win today in the Superbowl, or was it the Red Sox?

My goodness, we need some action, life, ha cha cha. We need some mambo Italiano!

Kerry, I think it was Tiger Woods.

Sandra, you may be right. I watched the Queer Eye Marathon, so I'll rely on your sports expertise.
