This morning we sang an eight part a cappella motet by Stephen Paulus, "Pilgrim's Hymn," from his opera The Three Hermits. Gorgeous, gorgeous stuff!

And I feel social but also a hermit
Part Dylan Thomas, part Dylan McDermott

I've got to get these in while I can; i think the expiration date on "But Alive" parodies is fast approaching.

And BK changed dinner to 7pm so that should work much better! If I can't manage to get there in 2 1/2 hours then I don't deserve to eat!

All this talk of food and cooking yesterday! Does any DR have any experience with pasteurized and homogenized eggs? I was wondering if they could be used for those older recipes which call for uncooked eggs. Many years ago my mom used to make a killer pineapple desert which used uncooked eggs.

Actually, they are quite good if you dye the green and eat them with ham.

Archive of American Television has many interesting interviews.

I agree Mbarnum, I have watched a number of interesting ones including ones for Larry Haines and Frances Reid.

I better get back to work, I've been here four about 4 hours and will reward myself for working on Sunday with a trip to Sam's club. I have been very productive today and feel like I'm back on top of all my cases, cal that a major WHEW!

One of my all time favorite actors, John Saxon!!!!!

MBarnum, JWP used to be on Days at one time back in the early 1980s and then on another soap where he got an emmy nod.

John Saxon is a good actor....

Question: Is Frank Stallone a brother or relation to Sylvester Stallone?

I have just caught up on yesterday's and today's posts and am now worn out! Out of time, too. Oh, well.

Glad to hear that Larry's sleeping well and do hope he has some good relaaaxxation time.

Thanks for the updates, DR Matt H.!

You're welcome. I hope you found it as helpful as I did. Once I saw it, I knew I had to share it with the TV fans on this forum.

John Wesley Shipp won three Emmys during his daytime years.

Frank and Sylvester Stallone are brothers.

So, here I am, catching up on yesterday's posts and reliving the joy that is Dr. Seuss (thanks, Singdaw!) and I'm half-listening what's on TV. I'm not really watching anything, just changing channels when I take the time to watch what's on and realize that I don't want to watch what's on.

Anyway, a commercial comes on about some new acid reflux/heartburn medicine and I don't believe what I'm hearing! I turn to see the name of the product on the screen. It's spelled exactly like this: AcipHex® But what I'd heard was a fake doctor telling the fake narrator of the fake story: "Fred, you have acid reflux disease. I want you to try prescription Ass-Effects!"

And later, the voice-over says, "Ask your doctor if Ass-Effects is right for you." And finally, "So call today and learn more about Ass-Effects."

DR Dakota:

I had never heard of the brand of HDTV you mentioned, so I can't comment on it.

I made comments about the CC capabilities of Blu-ray. I have also never had a problem with CC on any of the three HDTVs that I've owned.

All this talk of food and cooking yesterday! Does any DR have any experience with pasteurized and homogenized eggs? I was wondering if they could be used for those older recipes which call for uncooked eggs. Many years ago my mom used to make a killer pineapple desert which used uncooked eggs.

Going to Michael Ruhlman's Elements of Cooking, again:

Quote

Pasteurize, pasteurization: The process of heating a liquid - such as milk or fruit juices - to specific minimum temperatures for specific durations in order to kill pathogens. The process not only ensures that liquid doesn't make anyone sick, it also serves as a preservative by killing those microbes responsible for a food's deterioration. The reason cooked meat will keep longer than raw is because it's been, in a manner of speaking, pasteurized.

Quote

Homogenize: to mechanically combine two opposing liquids so that they are uniformly dispersed; milk is homogenized to prevent the fat from combining with itself and rising to the top.

I would suggest using pasteurized eggs in this case. Homogenized eggs, by definition, have already had the yolks and whites blended, which may not be what you want as a substitute in every dish that uses uncooked eggs - there are a lot of times where you will want to whip up the egg whites separately from the yolks.

Of course, all of this can be avoided if you absolutely know for a fact that the raw eggs you are using are of top-notch quality and devoid of the nasties. Don't know that for a fact? Stick to pasteurized.

If you buy an HDTV with an internal digital (ATSC/QAM) tuner (which most new HDTVs have now; only older models may be lacking that VERY essential feature), you will need at least an indoor antenna to capture over-the-air digital signals, but $10 antennas from Wal-Mart do the job just fine. You don't need to spend big bucks on an "HDTV antenna."

If you have old rabbit ears from an old set that you can disconnect, those work OK, too. I used those for awhile until I bought something that was a little bit more attractive.

I finished the last two episodes of FAMILY TIES. Most of the episodes during the season revolved about Michael J. Fox's Alex, but the two part season finale episodes were Michael Gross' showcase, and he gave a very touching performance.

Matt H. · « **Reply #114 on:** February 10, 2008, 01:25:48 PM »

I also watched the outtake reel for season 3. It was the usual flubs, not all that funny, but interesting to see if the actors took blame for their own mistakes or tried to blame their screw-ups on someone or something else.

Matt H. · « **Reply #115 on:** February 10, 2008, 01:26:39 PM »

There was also a public service announcement from Michael J. Fox about Parkinson's Disease. This, of course, was filmed very recently.

I started right in with GIRLFRIENDS. Despite Kelsey Grammer being the executive producer, it's not a comedy series that will go down in history. In fact, I've laughed exactly once during the three episodes I watched this afternoon.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #117 on:** February 10, 2008, 01:29:33 PM »

Here's something our esteemed BK might ask over at Genghis Cohen some time.

According to their web page, one of their "Special Original Favorites" is the Seafood Quartet, which is King Crab, Shrimp, Scallops, and Asparagus in a Black Bean Sauce.

Sounds yummers, but exactly when did Asparagus become a form of seafood?
