Well, you've read the notes, the notes were unwound, and now it is time for you to post until the unwound cows come home.

Anyone remember the old chestnut about the spin-off of DALLAS, reversing the letters and calling it SALLAD: the tale of a a group of backbiting filthy-rich Texans who go digging for oil....and vinegar

I don't know about unwinding time, but if I could save time in a bottle...

The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with (the person of your choice)

Just so long as that person's name rhymes with "do"!

I really liked A Catered Affair. It's a lovely, small, sweet show with beautiful music and some beautiful performances. It's a chamber musical with a deliberate slow pace. The songs (by John Bucchino) are complex and need more than one listen for maximum effect (IMHO). While I find the music touching and full of meaning I don't think there will be any standout numbers from the show. The number played on the radio commercial, Never Stop Saying I Love You will come closest to being the big number. It's beautifully done by Leslie Kritzer and Matt Cavanaugh. Tom Wopat's number near the end of the show is a standout (for me). He is great as a hardscrabble taxi driver just trying to get along and survive.

It's hard to say how the show will fare with critics. Friends who also saw it last night (we ran into them as we were leaving) did not like it. They thought it was boring and bland. Well, to each his own. I saw from the last row of the balcony and I will see it again (not sure when) when a friend finally settles his calendar and we can get tickets.

Thanks, DR Ben, for that report.

I am really looking forward to the recording of that show.

Good morning, all! I'm off to Toyland, to my accountant, and to lunch with a friend I've not seen in over a year. I've got to finish up this work I'm doing for Harvey and Tom so I can take a bit of time off to perhaps catch a movie with DR Jose tomorrow. Along with he Brain surgery, I have to do a bit of minor work for the New York City Gay Men's Chorus. I've been taking on all I can this month to dig myself out of the debt I acquired druing the January-February bug battle and pay my estimated taxes.

Last night I watched the LAW & ORDER repeat and then caught the repeat showing of TOP CHEF while I finished readingDenis quilley's biography. My copy of JOHNADAMS arrived, so I think I'll begin it next, I still haven't caught this week's episode. I did watch tHE TUDORS; I always wondered how one was boiled in oil and now I know.

That leads to the TOD. I had a great salad recently, but I forget where.

TOD - Insalata Della Casa (house salad) at Bravo Cucina Italiana is my current favorite.

Good morning!

More overcast skies here with rain predicted off and on all day. It's April, so rain is likely most any day.

TV Reminders:

ELI STONE!

CBS' line-up is all new tonight: SURVIVOR, CSI, and WITHOUT A TRACE

MY NAME IS EARL is back with a new one-hour episode.

Matt H. · « **Reply #23 on:** April 03, 2008, 08:30:26 AM »

Unless something to review comes in the mail today, I'd like to revisit a Disney animated classic. I haven't watched PINOCCHIO in ages, and I'm leaning toward that. If not, then likely it'll be SNOW WHITE.

Matt H. · « **Reply #24 on:** April 03, 2008, 08:33:40 AM »

I can't remember any memorable salads.

As for dressings, I vary the bottled dressings I use. Right now, I'm using Wishbone Deluxe French, but I've got Thousand Island and Kraft's Catalina dressing in there, too, ready to be opened. Usually when I eat out, I get Ranch dressing. Obviously, I like the creamy dressings rather than the oily dressings. (I'm sure someone will take that last statement and do something suggestive with it.)

MBarnum · « **Reply #25 on:** April 03, 2008, 08:44:38 AM »

DR Ben, thanks for the report on A CATERED AFFAIR. I did not know that Tom Wopat was in it, but I am very glad you enjoyed his performance.

singdaw · « **Reply #26 on:** April 03, 2008, 08:44:55 AM »

TOD: We tend to make our own balsamic vinaigrette with mustard most nights at home - and we do have a salad most every night. As for the greens, we tend to go with the pre-washed, bagged mixes to save time and effort.

As far as bottled dressings go, this is delicious and contains no sugar:

Salads?

The greatest salad the world has ever known was the Cobb Salad, as invented by the old Brown Derby restaurant.

Many restaurants have tried to copy it, but none have come close.

Second place would have to be a lobster salad that I had a couple of times at the Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles. It's been years since I was there, but I do remember it.

MBarnum · « **Reply #28 on:** April 03, 2008, 08:48:48 AM »

I am one of those people who buys all sorts of different salad dressings, always looking for that perfect one...well, I finally found them...these are currently my favorites, and about the only kind I have used for the last couple of years....

MBarnum · « **Reply #29 on:** April 03, 2008, 08:50:21 AM »

As for homemade salad dressings, my mom used to make a wonderful French dressing that I loved and my buddy Jim makes a great French dressing as well.
