For September, we usually try to read a book that ties into our local international festival, which this year is featuring Mongolia.  Any suggestions?


How about something from this  list?

Why don't I see WATER FOR ELEPHANTS on your list?  

I don't know how I missed that your group read FOLLOW THE RIVER.  That book has really stayed with me.

I keep forgetting to suggest Water for Elephants - thanks for the reminder!

Follow the River is set pretty close to here, so it was a very popular selection.

Some quick checking and I've found 2 possibilities for our Mongolia book:

Women of Mongolia, by Martha Avery
Hearing Birds Fly: A Nomadic Year in Mongolia, by Louisa Waugh

Good morning, all! I have a morning with Brain surgery and then I'm seeing a matinee of Mr Tennessee Williams' ECCENTRICITIES OF A NIGHTINGALE with the wonderful Milla.

DR Jose, I think this is my vote. The photos are quite lovely but I think this is a nice serious professional mug shot. I can't wait to see it hanging in my local post office.


Or over your bed!

Great list, DR Jane!  I'll spend some more time with it when I get home - thanks!

Weird!  AOL's weather page said that it was currently 56 degrees in Tacoma.  I kicked it a couple of times and it popped up to a more exact 87 degrees.

Heading down now to start VANAJA. Starting it this early, I'll be able to fit in a couple more episodes of THE INVADERS tonight, too. (The film runs 112 minutes).

If anyone can spare them, I would appreciate a few vibes that I have been bitten by a bug spider.  If not, the MRSA has returned; and even earlier than I would have expected.

Thanks for the book tips, DR Ginny - the Gould book sounds very interesting.  Of course, the book's title could also be the title of one of DR elmore3003's VHS tapes!?!


I believe that would be organ.

Did anyone watch THE JETSON’S?  Do you remember when the phone rang & Jane Jetson put “her face” on before answering?  I need one of those.  I answered Skype & should have turned off the video.  Bryan is staying with friends now and called for my mother’s Danish Apple pie recipe since his copy is packed.  He was too nice to comment on my appearance  until his friend behind him began giggling.  

If I hadn’t had wet nail polish on I would have removed the white turban off my head.  The turban is not a terrible fashion statement, it is a microfiber towel to remove the excess water out of my hair and keep it from dripping all over me.  Can you guess, I just washed my hair.

DR Singdaw, I believe I have.  One sec and I will post it.  It won't include the cheese bottom crust I use, any crust can do.  I find the pie is so juicy it tends to leak through any crust so the cheese makes it extra sturdy.  I don't each the bottom crust-lol, just use it to hold the pie.

DANISH APPLE PIE

FILLING:

16 apples sliced (we like them thin)
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Adjust sugar & cinnamon depending if apples are sweet or tart
Mix, stir and toss until apples become juicy

Fill a 9 or 10 inch pie crust and pour the remaining juice around the top of the apples


TOPPING:
Double for more topping

1½ cup flour
1¼ cup grated medium or sharp cheddar cheese
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup Fleishman’s margarine from frig or freezer-cut into little pieces
(if using butter it can be too heavy-try using less)
Crumble well with finger tips until very crumbled.
Place on top of apples
Pat the topping down over the apple filling
Make the topping extra thick around the edges of the pie crust

Bake in 350 degree oven 40 minutes or more
The longer the pie bakes the softer the apples, but don’t burn the topping

It is.  The topping is very special & I love the extra cinnamon in the apples.  Of course if you aren't a fan of cinnamon you can leave it out.

Wouldn't the fact that a tune is so closely identified with a current hit show (in this case Baba O'Riley with CSI-NY) mitigate against using it to promote a different show?

You'd think...

I thought I heard a big limb fall the other morning when we were having our windy weather, but never saw anything.

Today I went to the back of the yard and couldn't get out the back gate because there was a huge limb that fell and landed on the fence. It did a number on the big sweetshrub but it's pretty hardy so I hope it will recover.

OK...I just came in for a little dinner break---now back to finishing the yard work. The top of a tree also fell off and barely missed my car. It's a dead part, so I won't have any trouble lifting it and taking it to the street, but boy, it sure is big. I'm glad it didn't land on me!
