[Ron Pulliam]

Love is sweet as summer showers
Love is a wondrous work of art
But your love, your love, your love
Is like a giant pigeon
Crapping on my heart
La la la la la la la...

[Ron Pulliam]

I'm in the shower and I'm writing a song
Stop me if you've heard it
My skin is soapy and my hair is wet
And tegrin spelled backward is nirget.
Lather, rinse, repeat
Lather, rinse, repeat
Lather, rinse, repeat
As needed

[Ron Pulliam]

For all the Noo Yawkers:

New York City has no power
And the milk is getting sour
But to me that is not scary
Cause I stay away from dairy
La-la-la-la-la-la...

[Ron Pulliam]

Now grandma's a person who everyone likes
She brought you a train and a bright shiny bike
But lately she hasn't been coming to dinner
And last time you saw her she looked so much thinner.
Now your mom and your dad said she moved to Peru,
But the truth is she died and someday you will too.

[Ron Pulliam]

Some days, the wit and wisdom of Ms. Phoebe Buffay MUST be let out!

the wit and wisdom of Ms. Phoebe Buffay

Ah.

I was getting worried about you there, for a moment.

[FJL]

Don't you love farts
My fault, I fear

(well, it had to be said, didn't it?)

How flattering!

It has been a long, long time since this forum went on a body function bent.

I say that vapors/gas is funnier than tangibles.

You must have not watched the previous three installments of the series because it's ALWAYS been run this way. That's why I knew what would happen without even consulting TV GUIDE or any other reference.

And you mentioned last night that you would rather have had a two hour finale. Would make artistic sense but not ratings sense. THE MOLE has been a ratings dud for ABC, and there was no way in the world they were going to drag down their Monday night average by telecasting two hours of a low-rated show. Don't expect to see THE MOLE again next summer.

It's been so long since i've seen the mole that i forgot. I remembered that there had been a recap show saying how the mole did what they did. But i did not remember that they did not announce the winner!

[Matt H.]

But the promo in Saving Grace is :45 seconds, so you do get a little extra information that the regular ones don't have...

Still, not sure it's worth it!

I didn't KNOW that! Still, I just can't watch Holly Hunter in this show.

[Matt H.]

Heading down now to check the mail and then start scratching around (chicken TOD) for something for lunch.

It looks like BIG BROTHER could be interesting on Thursday!

DR RonP, did you read who Dan had to hug?

[Elan]

I love me a roast chicken with garlic & rosemary (delicious, if a bit fussy, version here; the "past recipes" link there gives some good recipes as well.

My emergency roast chicken version involves making a dry mix of cumin, paprika, pepper, onion & garlic powders, plus a few dashes of cayenne pepper if I'm the primary eater (I use kosher birds which are pre-brined, so no salt for me; if you're using a non-kosher chicken, add salt). Rub the mix all over chicken parts and under the skin, and roast in the oven at 450 for 45 minutes. For whole chickens, butterfly the bird first. If you've got a particularly fatty bird, slice up some onions for the bottom of the pan when you're roasting. After 45 minutes, turn off the oven, and leave the oven door open a bit so that the chicken finishes cooking w/o drying out.

I tend to make the mix up in large quantities, and keep a stash on hand in the fridge.

For grilling, I marinate the chicken overnight in a mix of olive oil, lemon juce, lemon rind, chopped garlic and rosemary or tarragon.

I did, and I hope they air it on Thursday.  I think the "huggee" probably enjoyed it.  Maybe the "hugger" did, too!

DR Elan, I think you might LOVE THIS RECIPE.  I've made it once.  It was way too much for me to eat by myself and it KILLED me to have to throw some of it out.  I saved as much chicken as I could, froze it, and later used it for sandwichs.

Still...it deserves to be eaten in one sitting.

George:

The best part of the movie?  Brendan Fraser in 3-D.

I was looking forward to that.

Question to CLOSER watchers:

The producer I work with has Charter digital cable. I have Comcast and watch the show in HD.

We had both noticed an occasional stuttering of image in the show, although commercials and our promos look fine.

Has anyone else noticed this?

We don't remember noticing stuttering.  We have DirecTV (satellite).

[bk]

I do believe I'm up.  I suppose I'll attempt to jog in a little while.  I like the idea of making roast chicken, but I also would like some recipes for stuff you can do in the skillet, as well as some, what do they call them, casserole dishes.

[Jane]

On other thing about THE CLOSER or rather TNT. How SNEAKY of them to withhold previews of next week's show until some time within SAVING GRACE. That won't make me stay tuned (I can usually catch up with the previews later in the week during other programming).

That explains why we never saw the previews, we didn't record
Saving Grace.

Tonight on tv for me:

[Jane]

Well, I gotta go call the unemployment office about my unemployment checks and see what the status is.  Will check back later!  Hope everyone has a great day, I'll be staying inside as it's suppose to get to 96 degrees today!

GOOD LUCK!!!

I am actually surprised that dan seemingly was able to do this so easily. I guess he is not as naive and straight-laced as i thought.
I am really interested to see how america will make him vote on thursday. We/and he obviously assumes it will be jessie (since america voted for jessie to be nominated). I think dan has sworn he will be voting out jessie. It seems like keesha/libra/dan/renny(memphis)/ are ready to go against (april)/ollie/michelle/jerry/(jessie). I am hoping for a jessie eviction!

I hate when shows in the US don't air at the same time here.
We are just getting top chef and next food network star now.
We will only get project runway setp 1.
Torchwood only starts on friday.
I"m doubtful we'll ever get the closer again. Which is so odd since they showed the first seasons.
Saving Grace i'm guessing could come on soon. Since they did show the whole first season.

Hmm... unfortunately, the bacon and the butter are non-starters for me (and that's a friggin' big chicken... we don't usually get kosher birds much over 4 pounds in my neck of the woods).

It does sounds lovely though. I like the herb mix (note: probably best to insist on fresh oregano; the dried stuff is very potent and would overpower the others), and the orange would add a nice complexity to the whole thing. It's a very nice combination of techniques, and I can see where it would produce something excellent.

As a substitute for the bacon, I'd probably crank the heat up a bit, start the chicken breast side down, then turn it over half-way through. Jermiah Tower has a neat trick where he takes the fat deposit from the tail end, pounds it flat, and uses that to cover the breast meat.

And the word of the day is: DIVAGATE!

The latest scandal in Washington, D.C., this time centering on the Kennedy Center.

Wrong time of year for it, but once the cooler/colder months settle in, then it's coq au vin for me. Pick your recipe; as far as I'm concerned, just make sure that you have a tougher chicken (the bigger/older the better), a palatable wine (don't need the expensive stuff, but something palatable), and time (barely simmer, don't boil this one, and it'll taste even better reheated the next day)

Those large farm animals had better watch their step here at HHW...

If that thing were spotted, it'd look just like our Dalmatian when he wants his belly rubbed!

'Bout the same size, too.

[S. Woody White]

I could sure go for some sweet and sour chicken right now.

They do a whole slew of good chicken dishes at the Shanghai Buffet.

(I don't know why I'm hinting - der B is sound asleep right now.)

He's been through Brendan Fraser
And he's here
