But I understand that they're good for hitting people over the head and reshaping their skull into the shape of a skillet. Or so it is in toon-land.

I can usually only go about 8 to 12 hours before I have to give in and take a pain pill.  I was hoping I could last today until after church, but I guess I have been doing too much around the house today, so I had to give in and take a pill.  I feel mush much better now.

I must have been gone doing actual good works at church whilst 4FDelusion spread her holiday cheer here, LOL.  Am I to understand she's accusing me of being a plagiarist?  That really steams me, as I have very carefully rewritten all of MattH's reviews when I've stolen from them so as to make them virtually unidentifiable.  ;)

MR BK's do should be in full swing by now.  I am sure they are having a great time.  And MR BK is wearing his KMA t-shirt.

glad you are feeling better tcb.


apparently in oregon the doctor's office cannot fax or call in a script for strong pain meds & we had to drive to the doctor's office to pick up my script.  i dropped it off at the pharmacy on the way home & will pick it up on the 26th.  i hope there isn't a problem with the insurance approving them.  last time we had to argue i had not used up the script too soon.

Good Evening!

I'm back from Christmas Eve Mass.  I have to say that I'm still not used to the "customs" at my parents' current parish. It's all a little too homespun for me, at least in comparison to the Cathedral parish we belonged to in Northern Virginia.  There's nothing blasphemous going on.  I guess I just miss a proper choir and a grand organ with herald trumpets. In any case...

I was reminded about a couple of things tonight:

-There is good handbell playing/ringing.  There is bad handbell playing/ringing.  There is no in-between.
-All babies are beautiful on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  Well, almost all of them.
-I'm always amazed just how much "vocal muscle memory" I've retained from my grade school years.  There are still some hymns that just don't sit well in my voice.
-I prefer singing "Adeste Fideles" rather than "O Come All Ye Faithful".
-I still start to cry when I start the second verse to "Silent Night".

DR JMK one Sylvia and Frances story, please.  For Christmas.

Well this one is extremely festive.  I got to know a waiter at a little Village restaurant where evidently Ms. Sidney was a regular customer.  Said waiter happened to be a Franatic.  One night Ms. Sidney had come in and was evidently already in her cups and then proceeded to drink quite heartily at this little place throughout the evening.  The waiter was a bit nervous but ultimately built up enough courage to walk up to Ms. Sidney and ask her what she thought about Frances.  Sidney evidently glared briefly at the waiter with one of those "if looks can kill" gazes and then let out a resounding belch, followed by just a bit of spit up.   "That's what I think about that talentless bitch," was her only comment, and then she stood up and left.

(You must remember Sylvia was married to Luther Adler and there were evidently rumors going around during Golden Boy that Frances wasn't just being intimate with Odets, LOL).

And my parents' church has an ad hoc orchestra accompanying their choir (which consists of 2 sopranos, 8 altos and 2 questionable baritones).  Tonight's instrumental ensemble consisted of:

Piano
Organ
Hammered Dulcimer
Hand Bells
Flute
Percussion: Congas (which doubles as timpani) and a suspended cymbal.

Quite the Joyful Noise! ;)

*It should also be noted that the woman playing the hand bells also played the flute, although not at the same time. But something tells me that if she could, she would.

Well it was a toss-up.  Either suffer from this back pain for another four and a half hours until I got home from church; or take a pill and skip church.







I'm skipping church.

Glad to know you're feeling mushmuch better now, DR TCB.

I'm actually skipping out right now on a party being hosted by some friends-of-my-parents-whom-I've-never-met.  First of all, I'm still feeling a bit off kilter from last night's bus ride and lack of sleep.  Secondly, as soon as we got back from church, my sinuses started begging for attention. I don't think I'm coming down with anything.  I just think it's the lack of sleep.  -And I have a feeling I'll probably be in bed by 11:30 tonight, if not sooner.

My filmmaking partner, Peter, just sent me a set of cast iron skillets. Now I need to learn about how to "season" them. Apparently, these are something people who cook find essential which probably explains why I don't have any.

I prefer my cast iron enameled - a.k.a. Le Creuset.

I understand that's it safe not to use soap when cleaning a cast iron skillet, but, still, I'd rather use soap.

As for seasoning, there are a couple of different methods.  One of the easiest is to rub a nice film of shortening over the whole pan, then place it in a 300 degree oven, "upside down", for a while.  The easiest - and tastiest - method is to cook a pound of bacon in it.  Just cut open a package, place the whole slab in there, and slowly bring the pan up to temp, and cook until the fat is rendered from the bacon.
