Dear Jose, the picture of monkey in the kitchen, is that from the Smithsonian ?

DR Sam - Yes, it was.  I hadn't seen "Julia Child's Kitchen" since they first started setting it up years ago.  It was very cool seeing it again, especially after seeing "Julie & Julia".

*It was also my first time seeing "The Star Spangled Banner" flag at the National Museum of American History since it had been restored and installed in it's new room/exhibit space.  Very cool.

The Smithsonian traveled the country with about 300 items (maybe 15 years ago)
it was amazing to see some the the historical things that they have collected.

The report for Mt. Wilson is that the firefighters will retreat to a concrete bunker below the observatory if they can not save it, even after the foam and gel cover the buildings etc.

Thanks DR Jose.  Callie seems to be feeling a bit better.  She's really sensitive right now so of course Boo is bugging her like crazy.  I think she'll be fine

Jeez, Jane, you had me thinking I was crazy.  I did find this website  - so somebody has heard of challah with raisins!

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Challah-I/Detail.aspx




I've heard - and had - Challah with Raisins!  I've also had with Currants... With bits of Citron (candied orange peel)... With Almonds... Topped with Sesame Seeds... Topped with Poppy Seeds... As the base for a Cinnamon Swirl Bread (perfect for French Toast!).

I usually took a bagged lunch.  Eating in the cafeteria was a rare "treat", by choice.  I purchased milk at school.  In elementary school they sometimes had fudgsicle.  On those days I had ice cream instead of milk.

My favorite was a chopped olive sandwich on Challah.  I liked mine mixed with mayo & a friend of mine favored sliced olives with cream cheese.  Sometimes we would trade a half sandwich.

DR Jane - Is a "chopped olive sandwich" simply chopped olives between two slices of bread?  If so... I might have to try one sometime.  ;)  -Although, I will have to admit, that I'm not sure just how the olives would work with the sweetness of the challah bread.

Black olives? Green olives?

Do you like "Olive Loaf" too?

As for the Topic of the Day...

Sometimes my Mom packed a lunch for me and my brothers.  Other times, we would buy lunch at school.

In 1st, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades, the school we went to had a cafeteria, and I seem to remember being given lunch money during those grades.

When we lived in Seattle, I remember getting little "chips" for lunch.  We would buy the chips in the morning before class, and then use them to buy lunch.  The school I went to had a "kitchen on wheels" that would go from classroom module to classroom module - each module was two classrooms.  They would set up in the shared coatroom.

For some reason, I'm thinking that the school I went to for Fourth Grade did not have a cafeteria.  We had to bring our lunch.  And the reason I remember that was because I had to get special permission to use the refrigerator in the teachers' lounge to store my lunch on certain days.  -I went through a "salad phase".  I even had the special Tupperware for it. I guess ice packs didn't really exist back then. ???

My train pulled into Penn Station at 9:50 and I was home by 10:15. I've been checking on emails and dealing with crises. George did not come in yesterday and do the bookcases, so I'm both pissed and worried about him, also sick of all thr damned clutter. Between the mess here and the rather poor performance of the conductor today I am in a very crabby mood.

Good night all!

We always had a cafeteria in school, but we didn't have choices, they put it on a plate and that's what you got.  I actually did liked the canned spinach, lol.  My favorites were the spaghetti, the pizza and the hamburger gravy on mashed potatoes.

But, I have to add, it was great to see DR Jose today and we had a fine group of players. Our trombonist was a dim bulb who showed up with all of his music except for the first three numbers. This was a big inconvenience because he didn't want to walk the 10 blocks to his car to see if the music was in the trunk. I wpould have paid fro his damned cab. I guess if he sat there and ignored the issue the music would materialiize onthe stand. Mark, our librarian today, spent the morning photovcopying the full score and cutting and pasting together parts for the three numbers because the dumbass couldn't check his part before he got there. I don't think they'll use him again.

As for the Topic of the Day (Part Two)...

I never had a "special" lunch box, but I seem to recall wanting one of those "construction worker" ones.  -Just the "plain" one with the thermos.  But I also seem to remember some sort of Disney-themed lunch box.

Like DR TCB, I tended to break thermoses. And if I didn't break them, I would lose them.

And I think I've told this story before, but...

My mom would usually pack some sort of dessert for me and my brothers.  Jell-O, fruit cocktail, canned peaches, canned figs(!), etc.  She had a veritable arsenal of individual Tupperware containers.  Well...

One day in Mr. Sharack's Fourth Grade classroom, we had a "Clean Out the Coat Room Day".  Once we had cleaned the floors and cubby holes, then Mr. Sharack - because he was the tallest one in the room - began to clean the upper shelves.  "Oh, look! Here's a bag that says "Jojo" on it."  -And inside it was a small Tupperware container.  And a spoon. "Oh, here's another one..."

And another one... And another one...

I think I must have taken about 15 containers and spoons home that day.  -Most of which were more like "science experiments" by that time.  ::)

As for the Topic of the Day (Part Tres)...

The rectangular pieces of cheese pizza at St. Thomas More Elementary always seemed to end up on my tray.  That cafeteria also had good french fries - which were baked, or at least finished in the oven. *I also seem to remember buying a hard-boiled egg regularly there.

My favorite Mom-made sandwich: Braunschweiger on Wonder Bread.

I, too, liked the canned - well, I guess it was canned - spinach. *However, we did have to wonder if it was just a coincidence that spinach was served the day after the lawn was mowed. ::)

I wish we could have gone to dinner because I was starving by the time I got to Union Station. I had a tuna salad sandwich and bottled water on the train.

I like the photos, too!

Aw...

Well, I did end up back at Good Stuff Eatery.  I ended up having a Spikes Sunny Side Burger (with an egg), Spike's Village Fries (with fresh thyme, rosemary and black pepper), and a Toasted Marshmallow Shake.  <burp>

 Alas, Spike was not there tonight, so I wasn't able to pass on your "greetings". ;)
