People are just sitting there like so much fish.  

Not Barrymore's - BUTTERFIELDS, I think.  That sounds right, doesn't it?

You're right, I'm wrong.  Got mixed up with the Bs and "Barrymore."  Butterfields requiescat in pacem.

Speaking of so much fish, I like the taste of bouillabaisse (sp?)... but if there's a lot of shellfish still in the shell in it, it can be quite a chore to consume.

I never pass up a good gazpacho, and found myself in Columbus Circle the other day.  There, the one-and-only food option is the famous Whole Foods in the basement of the Time Warner Center.  Their gazpacho was marked "Grilled Gazpacho Soup" but I think they may have meant "Chilled" - I couldn't imagine what was grilled about it.

The best thing about the Time Warner building is leaving Whole Foods, which is not a knock on the gourmet megastore.  The architect got exactly one thing right, which is a great sense of New York - as theatre when you come up the escalator out of the basement.  You're staring at blue sky, and, little by little, New York buidlings (Central Park South, mostly, but also the Sherry Netherland) come in to view.  That's a great experience, one that I'd recommend.

Adventures in the dog park this morning... There's a regular group who shows up early every Saturday and Sunday. They attended WHAT IF? together. A new person showed up this morning. A nice older gentleman with a brown poodle named Oscar. Oscar and Abie ran around chasing each other and had a great time. However, one of the dogs, Max, who belongs to a lovely couple - the woman is a lawyer and attended school with "Benjamin Kritzer" - this dog suddenly BIT the nice older man in the behind. The man had a tennis ball in his pocket and the dog decided to go for it -- through the pocket. The man was very understanding about it - more understanding than I would've been. The husband of the couple ran across the street to their house and brought ice for the man to hold on the wound. His wife the lawyer made sure that the man understood that this was not an intentional bite, but a grab for the ball gone astray. Everyone was suitably mortified, including poor old Max. Last I saw the man he was walking home with Oscar, holding the ice pack to his non-bite.

And a stroll through Zabar's late on a Saturday night isn't theatre?

Scene 1

Man:  I want five bialys.

Clerk:  [Points to onion rolls]  These?

Man:  You call that a bialy?

Scene 2

Woman:  Quarter pound lox. Sliced thin.

Clerk:  [Removes whole lox from case and starts to slice.]

Woman:  You call that thin?

Scene 3

Woman to man:  Oh please.  The lumpfish eggs are good enough.  They're coming from New Jersey, for chrissakes.

François you are so kind to correct me thank you.  :) I’m sure I would have been rather puzzled when I listened to the CD.  I enjoyed the song and the link. :D

Tomovox, Juliette is a doll.  And speaking of dolls do I spy a stuffed doll case behind her?

We missed the premier of Joey-I now have the first episode set to record on TIVO.  Are there any other new shows I don’t know about but should?

If we are mentioning September birthdays again, my niece is on the 23rd and Keith’s brother’s is the 27th.  We tend to ignore his brother’s birthday and celebrate a very special one, Craig’s.  I can’t believe he will be 25 this month.

Bruce, what a show :D :D
And good vibes for a happy new home.

 I always make a vegetable soup, since DR Sandra is vegetarian. I spend the previous day making vegetable soup stock from scratch, letting it simmer all night.

I knew there was a reason I adore that kid of yours.  :D

I haven't made fresh stock in years.  Since you inspired me to take my camera on walks, maybe I shall return to making fresh vegetable stock.

Soups:

I used to adore French onion soup.  Unfortunately, I had what was the very best French onion soup my lips ever had the pleasure of slurping back in 1983 at the Grove Park Inn of Asheville NC during Sunday brunch.  It ruined all French onion soups for me.  I've tried others but none have come close.  

A local bistro called "Cuckoo's Nest" has on its menu a spicy tomato soup that is thick and tangy and is served with a couple of nice-sized chunks of gorgonzola meant to be placed in the soup if one has no aversion to cheese.  It's HEAVEN ON EARTH!!!

And in Oakland's Chinatown District, an eatery called Shan Dong has a sweet and sour soup that poets would write tone poems to.  (The house speciality is Shan Dong chicken...a Szechuan dish...that is to die for...and the braised green beans are a feast for the senses).

Crap!  Now I'm starving.

Ben even if I have seen all of the photos, I will be very happy to see them again.  I just loved them. :D

Soups:  Most cream soups, tomato, mushroom, vegetarian matzo ball soup, lentil and bean soups and French onion.  In the fall I love the cream of squash soups.  

Panni, I couldn’t help laughing at the dog bite story.  I always carry treats in my pockets and have had almost the same experience on several occasions.  Fortunately for me the dogs were a bit gentler on my backside.

Jane, I make it from scratch because it's hard to find canned vegetable stock without some kind of offensive ingredient. You know how it is.

Thanks thanks thanks (that's 3!) for all the good vibes....they worked superbly as we (also) had a great audience and a wonderful show.  We are near to sell out tonight ourselves - so hurray!

No wonder I can't find any CD's by one of my favorite conductors....for some reason I kept searching under Andrew Bault....whew....spelling please....Boult!  Whew!

Lots of activity among the HHW'ers....Saturday is a buzzin'.  

RE:audiotronics.  Has anyone else seen the "blooper" at the Hall of Presidents...when Lincoln stands, then slowly bends over at the waist and collapses.....while his voice goes merrily on....  

OLIVER!  If you can get an extra souvenir program or Playbill DRSANDRA, I will pay you for it....we are doing OLIVER! next June and I love stuff for the display in the lobby - and the tour is coming NO WHERE near Indy!

Okay shower time....then off to the theatre to work in the box office before playing Rick Steadman.

OH OH OH....I got a new Panasonic DVD player (gave my RCA to my sister) and my I LOVE LUCY DVD's play wonderfully.  Avoid the RCA DRC230N - it has been trouble from Day One!  Now my sister Myrna can fight with it.

Oh...chicken noodle was my favorite when I was growing UP!

Does chili count as soup?  If so that is my favorite....if not...I go for cream of chicken.

But I don't eat soup when I go out....I am too messy and ALWAYS end up wearing some of it on my shirt!

Jrand54, glad you can finally watch the rest of your Lucy!!

I am going to run over to an estate sale quickly, then I must return and eat before I drive up to Vancouver for a birthday party for my friend Terry's 4 year old son's birthday. Then I must hie myself back to Salem to attend a wedding show for Mikayla Ryan and Sam Gattuci! Whew...I need a nap already as that is going to be a lot of driving. I will need to pile some good CDs into the car to listen to.

Jane,
You're welcome!
I'm so good at correcting people that my middle name is Mr-Know-It-All!

Yes,

Juliette is a doll and I'm so glad she doesn't live in that doll cabinet!
Knowing Tom, I would say that it's more of a (teddy) bear cabinet...
If wine was in there, it would be a cabernet cabinet... (ca bear net?!)
Could it be a .... soup cabinet???

Don't mind me! Thanks!

Good Afternoon!

Kind of a slow, but relaxing nonetheless, morning for me.  I stayed in bed listening to the opera program on the radio for a few hours, and then finally put my feet on the floor and started my day.  Some organizing.  Some phone calls.  Some laundry.  Some TV.  *How come everytime I come across Ina Garten's "Barefoot Contessa"  show on FoodTV it's always the "Roast Chicken" episode?!?!  And the "Trading Spaces" one was the New Orleans one - again!

-My throat also felt a little strange when I woke up.  It's doesn't look red, but it feels a little "tight" - ??  Hmmm.. Maybe I just need to take my Claritin.

So... that's been my day so far.  Exciting, huh?  I hope to be venturing out in about an hour or so, and I may even catch another movie before tonight's show.  We shall see.

Laters.

On this Sunday morning (In an hour or so) I am going to a Birthday party!! Breakfast followed by a "Surprise" movie and then a light lunch. It is a 60th Birthday with some sadness. The Birthday Boy's partner died 10 days ago and had arranged the party.

I don't think there will be soup for breakfast.

Ugh! I have just awakened from a two hour nap and feel so groggy. I went to my favorite Chinese buffet for lunch, ate too much really heavy food, and by the time I got home, I could barely hold my head up. Getting only six hours of sleep probably was the main reason I was so exhausted this afternoon, but I'll pay for this nap tonight more than likely with a sleepless night. Oh, no!  :(

I really love Panasonic products. My very first DVD player was a Panasonic, and the DVD recorder/player I use now is a Panasonic which seems to play any disc that other players find problematic.

The high definition receiver box I use in my den is also made by Panasonic and was hundreds of dollars less than similar models from other manufactueers.
