I am watching CIMARRON discussed here recently by MR BK and DR DRUXY.

 

Please let us know what you think of it.

[S. Woody White]

Out of curiosity, DR Whingdaw, are you shopping at a Stop and Shop? 

Yes.  And I like the new shirt color scheme very much!  

I've four goldenrod shirts (two long-sleeve, two short) and one purple (for when I'm monitoring the Easy-Scan registers).

Not colors I would choose to wear personally, but they do stand out, so that customers know who the associates at the store are.  But, if der B and I go shopping elsewhere after my shift, it's an awkward look, not something I'd normally wear when I'm out on the town.

Now, the aprons, those I like.  Mainly because of the pockets.  They're great for holding pens, scan-cards (again, for monitoring the Easy-Scan registers), store directories.

But now I need to get ready to head into midtown to run some errands, as well as attend today's taping of "The Late Show with David Letterman". -Mickey Rourke is the main guest, so it should be a pretty good and interesting show.

Laters...

I'll watch for you tonight!

I ended up sitting in the last seat in the last row on the audience left side of the theatre.  Actually, a very good seat for sightlines.  They did do a few audience pans tonight, so look for the bright red sweater in the back corner. -And it seemed like they taped a LOT of show today, so I'm curious to see what got edited out for tonight's broadcast.  Normally, they try to run the show in real time, but we ran over by 15 minutes today.

-And, yes! Darlene Love... WOW!  -And Annie Golden was sining back-up for her too!

[JoseSPiano]

OK.. Now it's off to dinner...

Laters...

[S. Woody White]

...And, yes! Darlene Love... WOW!  -And Annie Golden was sining back-up for her too!

Annie Golden was doing ASL for the hard-of-hearing?  That's a talent I didn't know she had!  Good for her!

[Jennifer]

RE: the scan thing.

I wasn't thinking that it would be at grocery stores. I was thinking of a walmart type store that is very crowded and where you might not necessarily buy so many items.

[Jennifer]

I wonder if the fudge does not harden if there is something else i can turn it in to.

I just found on recipe where you roll the loose fudge into balls and then dip it in chocolate.

[Jennifer]

Btw did anyone happen to see the HILLS finale?

My sis who doesn't even watch the show saw it.

I haven't finished the After Show yet. But the actual finale had a bunch of surprises.

Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad used to be best friends. but they have not been speaking for a few years. Well surprisingly to me, they were at the same party (heidi was working at it). And then sort of almost made up and lauren hugged her!
But most surprising to me was that heidi and spencer (who eloped in mexico a few weeks ago, which was not legal) were going to city hall to make their marriage legal. But Spencer's sister stephanie had told him that he should not go through with it since heidi's mom was mad at them and would not attend. So in the middle of the ceremony after Heidi had already said her I DOs, Spencer stopped the ceremony and asked her if she wanted to wait to have a big wedding with her mom. ANd she said yes. So they stopped it!

I can't help you with the fudge emergency, DR Jennifer. My being in a kitchen is almost emergency enough.

[Laura]

But rolling it into balls and dipping it in chocolate sounds like a good idea.

[Jennifer]

yeah it does sound sort of good. Although i feel dumb. But marshmellow creme is not something we use here.

It's just a shame. All that hard work!

I guess it's still possible that it hardens. But i won't hold my breathe.

Hopefully i won't butcher my aunt's meatballs or the 7 layer taco dip.

[Jennifer]

And to top it all off i've been waiting for book 4/5 of a series i'm reading (i read 1-3 and have 5). Well the person JUST returned it (i was at the library earlier today). But the library closes in 8 minutes for the 24, 25, 26!

[S. Woody White]

The fudge problem made me think of this...

Margaret Jo McCullen: Hello. I'm Margaret Jo McCullen.

Teri Rialto: And I'm Teri Rialto.

Margaret Jo McCullen: And you're listening to..

Together: The Delicious Dish, on National Public Radio.

Margeret Jo McCullen: Now, Teri, it's Christmas season again, our favorite time of the year.

Teri Rialto: Actually, Margaret Jo, holiday time is when the most culinary wishes can come true. Now, what's on your list this holiday season, Margaret Jo?

Margeret Jo McCullen: Well, Teri, I got real freaky this year. I'm asking Kris Kringle for a wooden bowl, some oversized index cards, and a funnel.

Teri Rialto: Ooooh, a funnel! That'll be great for funneling!

Margeret Jo McCullen: I know. I feel like a glutton! What's onyour list, Teri?

Teri Rialto: Well, I'm only asking Santa for one thing - a big box of glue traps to help me with my excessive rat problem? Are you, Margaret Jo, gonna leave any treats out for Santa this year?

Margeret Jo McCullen: Oh, absolutely, I always do! I like to leave Santa some tap water and rice. If Santa's anything like me, Christmas foods really reek havoc on the ol' digestive system. What are you going to leave, Teri?

Teri Rialto: Uh, I can't ever leave food out in my apartment, because I have an excessive rat problem.

Margeret Jo McCullen: Makes sense. Neat.

Teri Rialto: Good times.

Margeret Jo McCullen: Good times.

Teri Rialto: Well, Christmas is a time for traditional foods and bite-size treats, and we have a very special guest today.

Margeret Jo McCullen: That's right, Teri. He's the owner of his own holiday bakery, with a very, very cleaver name - Season's Eatings.

Teri Rialto: [ laughs ] That's really funny!

Margeret Jo McCullen: I know, it rhymes with Season's Greetings!

Teri Rialto: Please welcome the owner of Season's Eatings - Pete Schweddy.

[ Pete pulls up to his mike ]

Margeret Jo McCullen: Well, Pete, Teri and I have been looking forward to having you on the show, 'cause we know you're the master of all kinds of Christmas goodies. Tell us about them.

Pete Schweddy: Well, there are lots of great treats this time of year - Zucchini Bread, Fruitcake.. but the thing that I most like to bring out this time of year are my Balls.

Teri Rialto: Mmm.. Balls.. Tell us about your Balls, Pete.

Pete Schweddy: Well, over at Season's Eatings, we have Balls for every taste. Popcorn Balls, Cheese Balls, Rum Balls.. you name it.

Margeret Jo McCullen: Wow! My mouth's watering just thinking about those Balls!

Teri Rialto: It's been years since I've seen any Balls.

Pete Schweddy: Would you like to see my Balls now?

Margeret Jo McCullen: Yeah. Whip them out.

[ Pete places a tray of Balls on the control board ]

Teri Rialto: Mmm.. wow.. you have some beautiful Balls..

Margeret Jo McCullen: They're bigger than I expected.

Pete Schweddy: A lot of people tell me that.

Margeret Jo McCullen: Look at that, Teri - the way they glisten.

Pete Schweddy: That's because make sure that each one of my Balls gets plenty of oil.

Margeret Jo McCullen: I can't help but, notice, Pete - your Balls are a little misshapen.

Pete Schweddy: That's because I rested them on a hot stove too long.

Teri Rialto: Can I touch your Balls.

Pete Schweddy: Go ahead. But be careful, they're very delicate.

Margeret Jo McCullen: Wow. I can't wait to get my mouth around his Balls.

Teri Rialto: [ sniffing ] Ooh.. I like the way your Balls smell..

Pete Schweddy: Do whatever you want to, ladies. My Balls are here for your pleasure.

Margeret Jo McCullen: [ chewing ] Wow, Pete.. I have to say - your Balls are so tender..

Pete Schweddy: Well, there's no beating my Balls. They're made from a secret Schweddy Family recipe. No one can resist my Schweddy Balls.

Margeret Jo McCullen: Wow.. Schweddy Balls. Nothing like a Schweddy Ball.

Teri Rialto: Good Balls.

Margeret Jo McCullen: Mmm.. good times.

Teri Rialto: Good times.. Mmm.. our producer is telling us it's time to wrap it up.

Margeret Jo McCullen: That's all the time we have today, Teri. So, join us next week, when our topic will be that other holiday favorite..

Margaret Jo & Teri - ..Fragrant, Flavored Nuts.

Pete Schweddy: A quick plug! If you order from Season's Eatings now, you can still send out a special Schweddy Ball Sack in time.

Margeret Jo McCullen: Great idea. My niece would love a Sack of Schweddy Balls...

[Jennifer]

I typed in "what do do with fudge that didn't harden" and there were some interesting answers.

1.roll in balls and roll in cocoa and they are truffles.

2. reheat it on stove. and then put back in pan.

I wonder if you can really do this??

3. put in freezer.

[George]

Before it's too late...

A Very Happy Birthday to DR William F. Orr!!

[bk]

I'm back from Gelson's and how have everything I need for the Do, and thank goodness I don't have to leave the house at all tomorrow.  The driving by idiots this Christmas season is at an all-time low, with people acting like they've never been behind the wheel of a car.  It's really shocking sometimes. 

[bk]

I may go ahead and make the tuna pasta salad this evening, then I won't have to start cooking till about one tomorrow.

[bk]

Also, all packages have been addressed.

OMG! How could I forget Gypsy??

Dopey Me!

[PennyO]

A wonderful show on TeeVee right now, the making of Yo Yo Ma's latest Christmas season CD. Just great!

And my review of the Los Angeles Ballet's Nutcracker is up, on www.FineArtsLA.com -

And my fave CD of the year is a 5 CD set of David Sedaris reading his short stories. I recommend it!!!

[PennyO]

And (you know about musicians and free food...) I'm licking my ol' chops, thinking of BK's tuna pasta salad tomorrow night...

[TCB]

Since I got my car unstuck, and went to work today, I stopped by to see Stan; since I hadn't been there since Saturday when the snow storm struck.

Sadly, I found him totally unresponsive.  The nurse said that the change just took place today.  He was awake, but I don't think he even saw me or heard me.

I talked to Mark and we had him taken back to the hospital for evaluation.  The supposed doctor at The Lutheran Home only comes in once a week, and because of the snow, he hadn't been in at all - and apparently was not returning phone calls.

I guess Stan's four hour Christmas dinner pass at home will not be used this year.

[George]

Do most people in snowy climates keep their cars in the garage?

Around here most people do not. They use their garage to store garage type things and keep their cars in the driveways.

I have a garage filled with boxes.  Someday (and I've been saying this for two years ), I'll clean it up and park my car in there, again.  Someday.

Ok, packages are wrapped, but I am not looking forward to the plans for the next two days.  A certain in law has not spoken to me since she wrote to tell me the reason that they didn't tell me that their "friends coming over" last summer was really my dad's surprise birthday party was because "we all agreed that we couldn't trust you".   I really don't want to spend the holidays with her and we are going to their house tomorrow night and they are coming to my parents' house on Thursday.   

[Tomovoz]

And my fave CD of the year is a 5 CD set of David Sedaris reading his short stories. I recommend it!!!

I'd not heard of David Sedaris before this Monday!

[TCB]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR WILLIAM F. ORR

And Happy Birthday to Jane's DS Bryan!

[Tomovoz]

Sedaris's "Naked " and "When You Are Engulfed in Flames" were recommendations by an Anglican Priest (Minister) who has been kind enough to pay some visits to my father over the past few months.
The visits are on my behalf - not the Church's. 

[Cillaliz]

My mother told me if I go to sing in the choir at church for the 11:00 PM Christmas Eve service I don't have to wear anything because I'll have a robe!   I told her that may be a bit chilly
