Last night, I went to see the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical revue, A Grand Night for Singing, and let me tell you, it was.  I have worked with all the actors (four of them were in Side Show last year) and it was a total delight.  They're all good singers.  The costumes were simple and clean and the set was lovely.  The staging was quite good.  Everyone moved well and nothing seemed forced or awkward.  I was able to see the cast and chat a bit afterwards and they said that they've been having quite full houses the entire run.  They got a partial standing ovation.  Not everyone stood, but the applause was genuine and deserved.  A Grand time for everyone. ;D

A few years ago, I downloaded a whole bunch of recipes, but have never made any.  Here's one that sounds very good:

Hearty Rice Skillet
Total time to prepare: 25 min
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
•  1 15-ounce can black, garbanzo, or kidney beans, rinsed and drained
•  1 14-1/2-ounce can stewed tomatoes, cut up
•  2 cups loose-pack frozen mixed vegetables
•  1 cup water
•  3/4 cup quick-cooking brown rice, uncooked
•  1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or dillweed, crushed
•  4 - 5 dashes bottled hot pepper sauce (optional)
•  1 10-3/4-ounce can condensed tomato soup
•  1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
•  1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (2 ounces)

Directions:
1. In a large skillet stir together beans, undrained tomatoes, vegetables, water, uncooked rice, thyme or dillweed, and, if desired, hot pepper sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 12 to 14 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in soup; heat through.

2. Before serving, stir in almonds and sprinkle with cheese. Makes 4 servings.

BK, here's a recipe for you the next time that you have melon balls:

Sorbet-Melon Parfaits
Total time to prepare: 15 min
Servings: 4
 
Ingredients:
•  3/4 cup chilled, seeded watermelon balls
•  3/4 cup chilled, seeded cantaloupe melon balls
•  3/4 cup chilled, seeded honeydew melon balls
•  1 cup lemon or mango sorbet
•  1/2 cup sweet sparkling wine, chilled**
•  4 sprigs fresh mint (optional)

Directions:
Arrange melon balls among four wine glasses or goblets. Scoop about 1/4 cup sorbet atop melon. Pour about 2 tablespoons sparkling wine over sorbet and melon. If desired, garnish with mint sprigs. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.

Food exchanges: 1/2 fruit.

Nutritional Information:
1 serving: Calories 131; Fat 2g (Saturated 0g); Cholesterol 0mg; Sodium 26mg; Carbohydrate 22g (Dietary Fiber 2g); (Protein 1g)

** I would assume that sparkling cider or other juice would be fine.

re: American Idol last night.

Funny thing happened. My 3 year old niece was sleeping over. And she watched for the first time. She kept saying that she did not like it. But she also kept commenting in the cutest way.

After the first sing-off all i could hear was her mumbling, "alex made it, cody didn't, why didn't cody make it?"

Then one of her favorite people, jen korbee from the kid's group hi-5 had her sing-off. And my niece kept saying, "they don't like jen". "What's the guy's name who liked jen? (simon)". "Jen didn't make it". She kept repeating this over and over. And then "why didn't jen make it?". Interesting how simon wanted to keep her. That was close!

I actually liked last night's show better. The sing-off concept was interesting (to watch). Although it looked torturous for the contestants since they pitted friends.

One person who i was shocked didn't make it was danny's best friend (danny is the guy whose wife died). I think his bf's name was jamal. I was really surprised considering some of the guys they let through. And i actually think that kid cody would have been very popular with the young girls. He had the right look!

From Mark Rothman:


Okay, I guess I feel the need to defend myself.

First,  I never asked Bruce to link his website to my blog, merely to check it out for himself.
I wouldn't, in a million years, have expected him to give me a link.  That would require a magnanimity that I never thought he was capable of.

I sent PM's to all of you because I felt I had a right to, as none of you are owned outright by Bruce, and I had what I considered to be a well earned access to you through all the time I spent playing the Initials game with you.  I do not consider it poaching.
Bruce has reminded me many times of how many hits he gets here all the time.  I can't imagine I'd make a dent in his stats.
I know that many of you liked the game, and might welcome the opportunity to play it again on a fairly regular basis.  And I extend that invitation to Bruce as well.
I thought if I posted my invitation here, it wouldn't stay up for long.
Through some key endorsements, (Leonard Maltin, Mark Evanier Ken Levine),my hit numbers have become quite impressive.  Getting the twelve or so extra people I'd get from here really doesn't make much difference.  I thought you had the right to find me, and play Initials if you have  missed it.
As far as ego,  I plead guilty.  Very guilty.  And my ego has grown exponentially with the growing success of my blog. As has Bruce's.  The kind of mail and comments I've been getting would turn anybody's head.  Yes, my ego has become more and more unbridled.  But I'm much more of a specialist than Bruce.  My ego is all about my work.  I admit it.   I'm far more egotistical about my work than he is.  I think he is much more egotistical in general, although, at the rate I'm going, I might get there too.  At the moment, if there were an Ego Olympics, I would definitely take the Gold in one event.  And Bruce would at least medal in the Decathlon.
Until now, I have never tried to trash Bruce in public, and wouldn't do it now, if he didn't take public umbrage at me.  In fact one of the posts on my blog praises him and "Planet X", because he deserves it.  And he neglected to mention that I'm a big fan of his books.  I wasn't going after him on that score.  I was actually alluding to someone else. The only thing I needled him about, without referring to him by name, was the notes on his blog. I've tried to keep all this private, and would have been happy if it stayed that way. I didn't out him.  He outed himself.  Bruce and I are friends, but sometimes it's been a rocky road. One reader mentioned that he thought I was being unfair to Ira Gershwin.  If he'd read more thoroughly, he'd have realized that it was a joke.
If this post doesn't survive very long, so be it.
If necessary, it will surface somewhere else.  I don't know if you heard, but I have a pretty successful blog.

DR Jose, i'm just catching up on yesterday's posts.

re: your comment that i was yelling at my tv. Well i do know what you're referring to. But i actually already knew she didn't make it to top 36. So i was okay (i'm talking about jen korbee). Although i had not realized how close it actually was. It was nice to finally get to see her. Wow i wish we had gotten to see her husband. That was an interesting angle they could have shown.

The worse part is that my niece who never watched was a bit upset. She was actually very happy for those who made it (she clapped). But she was upset that they "didn't like jen" (as she put it).

Miss Fond is very good in 33 Variations. I saw the third performance last night. Moises Kaufman, the writer and director, came out just before the show began to say that it's still a work in progress and, in fact, the actors had gotten new pages about an hour before.

While it's a good and interesting piece I don't think it's as strong as Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde or The Laramie Project. I'm not exactly sure what he's trying to say here. Is it about the choices we make and the way we treat people in our lives after we make those choices? Is it about obsession and how it can drive our lives even in the midst of "problems" (if you don't know what happens I won't reveal any plot points). Fonda gets better as the show progresses and does an excellent job of transforming (if you see the show you'll understand). Colin Hanks (Tom's son) is also very good. The man playing Beethoven is excellent portraying a tortured genius in his last months. Susan Kellerman as a librarian at the Beethoven archives in Bonn is wonderful. The cast is all around very strong. My main complaint is length (or feeling of length). It's about 2 1/2 hours including a 15 minute intermission but, especially in the second act, it feels long. Perhaps it's the new pages but there were times when I felt they were feeling their way. If the show continues to be on TDF I will try to see it again once it's closer to frozen. As I said, Miss Fonda acquits herself well for someone who hasn't been on a Broadway stage in 46 years. She looks great, she knows how to speak and project and she doesn't seem like a film or television star trying to gain respectability by appearing on Broadway.

Tonight I see The Story of My Life which is at The Booth, one of my favorite theatres on Broadway (actually 45th Street).
