Skip made a delicious pasta pie, which he learned to cook at the Instutute for culinary education.  It has a fancier name than pasta pie, but I don't know what that name is.

The lyric ot the famed Neil Diamond single "Porcupine Pie":


Porcupine Pie Lyrics

Porcupine Pie, Porcupine Pie, Porcupine Pie
Vanilla Soup, a double scoop please
No, maybe I won't, maybe I won't, maybe I will
The tutti fruit with fruity blue cheese

Ah, but Porcupine Pie, Porcupine Pie, Porcupine Pie
Don't let it get on your jeans
And though it sounds a little strange
Well, you gotta eat it with gloves
Or your hands will turn green

Ah, but porcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie,
It weaves its way through my dreams,
And I do believe I'm gonna have one and
Leave enough room for dessert, chicken ripple ice cream.

Good morning, all!  Yes, it was quite a festive evening, and I'm a bit loggy today.  I look forward to seeing everyone today.  I've started packing for tomorrow's flight, and the Brain is - for the nonce - a part of my past.  I don't think my sojourn with it is over yet, but it will be on hiatus for a while.  Damn!  I will miss it.

Trying to get up the energy to jog - and failing.  If the sun were out, I'd be out there, but the sun isn't out and I'm in here.

Bruce, thanks for the tickets - my gang really loved it, and Felice may be bringing in a gang for next week. I think Bill is sending his sister, niece and several friends.

I thought Cindy looked very good - last time I saw her, maybe three years ago at the gym in Agoura Hills, she looked stressed and harried. Nice to see her looking so pretty - who were those kids with her?

When I was dieting, i used to make a mean ricotta and pineapple cheesecake, which according to the diet was supposed to serve as a meal.  Trouble was, after a while, i started eating a regular meal and having the cheesecake as dessert.  :)

Hi all! I sat down to post and Santa came down the street!  I had to run outside and give him a wave.  :)

I'm so happy everything went so well for the"Brain".  I only wish that I was there as well.  Maybe next time.  

I hope everyone is having a wonderful time and that lots of pictures (HINT, HINT) are being taken to be shared with those of us who could not make it.

Santa just went down the back street.  I told Bear he'd better not bark and scare Santa away or there won't be any dog goodies on Christmas for him.  

I'll be back after my short trip to the store.  Good driving vibes for DearReaderLaura!  Good trip vibes to those who need them.  Be safe!

Nurses Complain About Heart Attack Grill
By AMANDA LEE MYERS
AP

TEMPE, Ariz. (Dec. 9) - The Heart Attack Grill - a theme restaurant whose specialties include the Quadruple Bypass Burger and Flatliner Fries, cooked in pure lard - is making health-care professionals' blood pressure rise, and not because of the menu.

It is because of the waitresses' naughty nurse uniforms.




The waitresses wear skimpy, cleavage-baring outfits, high heels and thigh-high stockings - a male fantasy that some nursing organizations say is an insult to the profession.
…
The most serious complaint Basso has faced was made to the Arizona attorney general's office by the state Board of Nursing. In September, the attorney general's office wrote Basso a letter informing him that he is illegally using the word "nurse" at his restaurant and on his Web site. Citing Arizona Statute A.R.S. 32-1636, the attorney general said only someone who has a valid nursing license can use the title "nurse."

Basso refused to remove "nurse" from his Web site but inserted an asterisk next to every nurse reference and included the following disclaimer:

"The use of the word `nurse' above is only intended as a parody. None of the women pictured on our Web site actually have any medical training, nor do they attempt to provide any real medical services. It should be made clear that the Heart Attack Grill and its employees do NOT offer any therapeutic treatments (aside from laughter) whatsoever."
…
The Heart Attack Grill opened a year ago with a Hooters-like formula of red meat and sexy waitresses. Diners choose from among four cheeseburgers: the Single, Double, Triple and Quadruple Bypass. The Quadruple is a towering monstrosity with four half-pound beef patties, four pieces of cheese and a mound of bacon.



"Essentially, it's nutritional pornography. It's so bad for you it's shocking," Basso said.

If "patients," as customers are called, finish a triple or quadruple bypass, waitresses will push them out to their cars in wheelchairs at no additional charge.

Now that I've just arrived, I have to leave to go to work.  Right after that, I'm off to my show.  Later!

It's a balmy 56 degrees here right now. Great after having single digit temps a day or two ago. I have a couple windows open so the girls can have some fresh air.  It's great.

I am so envious!  Sitting here in my half-moved-into new apartment, reading about all the excitement and and joy of the opening of THE BRAIN.  How I wish I could be there to be part of theatre history!

TCB, HI! you must have said hello just as I was leaving. Didn't mean to ignore you. If it makes you feel any better, I've been here since February and still haven't gotten everything settled yet.  It's a big house, but that's really not an excuse
