Thanks for the story about the Algonquin cat, Cillaliz.

I miss visiting Pynchon, the cat at my late, lamented Gotham Book Mart in NY. It's tough when you lose your favorite book store.

HI Edi! I'm up, a thunderstorm just passed through and I decided to see if we're going to have more storms or if I can go to sleep without my weather radio waking me up again.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #6 on:** June 03, 2008, 01:28:37 AM »

As much as I love that radio, I literally jump when it goes off, especially when it wakes me from a deep sleep

Cillaliz · « **Reply #7 on:** June 03, 2008, 01:30:18 AM »

Looks like this maybe the last of it until this afternoon. They had predicted a possibility of hail with the storm, so I went outside and got two of my new pots of flowers and brought them in the house. I don't want to lost them when I just got them on Sunday.

I hate these summer storms. I also hate drought. You can't win! All the thunderstorms have been passing us by for the last few weeks.

Stay safe, Cillaliz! I'm going back to beddy-bye.

It looks like we're fine for now. I'm going back to sleep. Night

TOD:

One of my most favorite dishes to make [and to eat] is Chicken Marbella [from The Silver Palate cookbook].

Here is the recipe, except that I use boneless chicken breasts and reduce the cooking time:

Chicken Marbella
From the Silver Palate Cookbook

4 chickens, 2 1/2 lb. each, quartered
1 head of garlic, pureed
1/4 c dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 c red wine vinegar
1/2 c olive oil
1 c pitted prunes
1/2 c Spanish green olives
1/2 c capers with a bit of juice
6 bay leaves
1 c brown sugar
1 c white wine
1/4 c chopped parsley
Combine all ingredients except brown sugar and white wine, and marinate overnight.

Arrange chicken in pan, spoon marinade over, and sprinkle with brown sugar and wine.

Bake 50-60 min at 350 degrees, basting often.

Eat! (Serves 10+, or the leftovers make great chicken salad and sandwiches.)

DR TCB - I think you need to sue Jim Henson Studios for copyright infringement!

I now know why I don't have my copy of South Pacific. I got an e-mail last night from the company mailing them out (I pre-ordered a copy when I went to see the show). They mailed out the CD but it was returned to them. They asked me to confirm my address and lo and behold they had the wrong number! I gave them the correct address and I should have the CD in a couple of days.

FJL · « **Reply #14 on:** June 03, 2008, 04:28:31 AM »

is this South Pacific with or without the seven "extra" tracks?

FJL · « **Reply #15 on:** June 03, 2008, 04:29:49 AM »

I have no idea what that's about, but I gather from All that Chat and the castrecl that there's a version with sven more tracks than the other.

FJL · « **Reply #16 on:** June 03, 2008, 04:30:37 AM »

By sven more tracks, i mean several renditions of "I've Got Your Number" of course.

FJL · « **Reply #17 on:** June 03, 2008, 04:31:06 AM »

Or else I just mean seven additional tracks.

Yes, there's a "special edition" exclusively from Barnes & Noble with a few minor extra tracks and two karaoke orchestra-only tracks. There was also one additional track on promo copies that disappeared from the final versions. $:-\$

Cillaliz, your comments last night pretty much echo what I wrote to the Party two weeks ago. Then I got to the heart of the matter and told them that if Obama was the nominee, they would never see one penny from me.

Good morning, all! Another day of Brain surgery with an NYPL interlude around noon. Tonight I'm finally seeing SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE. Since I'm the Pulitzer person, I thought I should catch this go-round as well. I was never a fan of Starobin's orchestrations for the show, which I thought sounded better on the recording with a larger band, and wished Jonathan Tunick had done them, so I'm curious about hearing my friend Jason Carr's further reduction to five pieces?

Yes, DR Jose, I got your message. I didn't take my phone when I made a run to my storage space last night and missed your call. We have a date for Thursday at 8!

I'm wanted in surgery . . .

JulieC40 · « **Reply #22 on:** June 03, 2008, 05:52:58 AM »

Ben, I'm assuming the South Pacific you saw was the one that is current? How was the show? I won't be in NY till end of July and I know it is impossible to get tickets. I've heard it is a phenomenal show. Did you enjoy it?

singdaw · « **Reply #23 on:** June 03, 2008, 06:12:26 AM »

DR elmore3003 - do you know why Tunick didn't orchestrate Sunday to begin with? I always thought that odd...

Ginny · « **Reply #24 on:** June 03, 2008, 06:15:12 AM »

Tuesday morning greetings! Thunderstorms here in SW Ohio - hope they move out before I have to drive to Cleveland tomorrow.

Ben · « **Reply #25 on:** June 03, 2008, 06:18:11 AM »

Yes, Julie, I saw the current production. There is much to love about the show. I really enjoyed it but I was not blown away in the way that others have been. I think part of that is I'm a big fan of Kelli O'Hara and she was out the night I saw the show. Her understudy was good but I wanted Kelli. It's worth seeing the show just to hear a 30-piece orchestra in a Broadway theatre. A rare occurence these days!

I don't think I'm getting the CD with the extra tracks. There was much discussion at CastRecL about the extra tracks. I'm not a fan of these "exclusives" where you have to hunt down extra material. If you're putting it on one CD put it on all the CDs. I don't want to go to ITunes and download 7 tracks and then re-burn a CD so I can have everything they put out. It's insulting to the customer. And the music companies wonder why their business is going in the toilet! I know I'm part of a small niche market but don't spit on me and tell me it's raining.

I've heard various and sundry reasons, but since none of them are from Steve or Jonathan, they're only rumors. I suspect the reasons have more to do with their schedules. After the failure of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG, Steve told me he would never write another show and he was going to write video games. Jonathan may have been busy with other commitments when Steve came out of his funk. Also, Starobin had been working with Lapine on the William Finn shows and Lapine may have been pushing for him. I offer two possibilities, and both could be wrong.

I agree with MR BK in the notes about THE GUNFIGHTER. I thought I was just going to see a regular western - horses and guns - but the characters were very interesting, and the ending thought-provoking.

I have always liked Richard Jaeckel so his turn was fun.

And remember when you are saying the name aloud, you must do it correctly....Robert Osborn says: Skip Homee-ay.

TOD:

Take two slices of white bread.
Place them on the counter.
Open a can of Spam and cut contents into 8 even slices.

Open a box of Velveeta. Cut two slices.

Cover one slice of bread with Hellman's Mayonnaise.

Place Two Pieces of the Spam on the bread. Place Two Pieces of Velveeta on top of the Spam.

Place the second slice of bread on top. Slice the sandwich into two pieces making sure that one slice of Spam stays on each side of the knife.
