I am back, obviously, from a lovely afternoon with DR edisaurus and Greg at the cozy apartment of DR Ben and his sparkling co-host Anthony. I had a wonderful time, and I've downloaded "EY Harburg Revisited" aka "Hold Onto Your Hats" unti my computer, courtesy of our DR Ben. I was great to see edi and Greg and I'm hopong to see them tomorrow after RAGTIME, which is where we will meet up with DR vixmom and The Vixter. If any DRs want to join us, I'm suggesting we meet on 52nd Street across from the theatre around 4:45.

Cranberries!

This New Years thought came in an e-mail, so I thought I'd share in case we haven't seen it here before.

Inner Peace for the New Year

I am passing this on to you because it definitely worked for me today, and we all could probably use more calm in our lives!
 
Some doctor on the TV this morning said that the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started. So I looked around my house to see things I'd started and hadn't finished and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of shhhardonay, a bodle of Baileys, abutle of vocka, a pockage of Pringlies, the res of the Chesescke a n a box a chocolets. Yu haf no idr ow frigin gud I fel. Peas sen dis orn to anyy yu fee ar in ned ov inr pece. O, un hab a havvy Nuw Yeer!
 

And I thought Miss Reardon drank a little...

We've just had our chili supper while watching Bucks v. Ducks in the Rose Bowl.

[George]

I'm watching the first episode of the first disc of the first season of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" that I got from Netflix.  I never watched the show until about the time that they started to complete tear down the houses and build new ones.  In these early episodes, they gut the house and leave the frame up and rebuild everything in the existing house frame.

Ty Pennington is also a LOT less manic...he actually seems like a normal person.

[JoseSPiano]

And that ends the shameless self-promo.  but I'll check with Bk before linking it to anyone.

DR FJL - Could you also just place that listing on your YouTube channel homepage?

Does your home internet account/company "give" you a home web page?

[JoseSPiano]

Well, the new recipe I tried this morning is a "keeper," but it needs some tweeking.  Next time, I'll leave out the half cup of melted butter drizzled over the crust (just made is soggy and too fattening).  After you add the cheese, red peppers, ham, and beaten eggs it needs to bake at a higher temp and for a longer time than the recipe indicates.  We ended up having a nice New Year's brunch instead of breakfast.  And we had to eat on our laps in order not to miss the Rose Parade.

Were your eggs at room temp?  -Although, I've found the cooking times for quiche-like recipes seem to vary each time I make the same dish.

*Although, I have grown fond of Christopher Kimball's/"Cook's Illustrated" method of getting the custards started on the stove stop in a pan over very low heat (like you're making pudding), and then pouring the already-cooking mixture into a hot pie crust and into a hot oven to finish.

[Jennifer]

Did I miss it?  Of what is this "Post deleted" thing a parody?

I was wondering the same thing!

[Ginny]

DR Jose - Rob asked the same thing about the eggs.  I haven't had a lot of experience making this sort of thing, so today was a real learning opportunity.  Once we were convinced the eggs were fully cooked, no one had trouble eating it.

[Ben]

We had a wonderful visit with Amy, Greg and Larry. Sparkling company and good times. The hours passed quickly and all of a sudden it was 5pm. Amy had a copy of a funny and scary documentary about a Southern family that lights their home every Christmas in honor of Elvis! OMG

Amy and Greg were going to try and catch a show (we keep forgetting it's Friday) and Larry is now safe at home.

I'm sorry we can't meet up with Deb and Vix et al but I'm sure there will be other chances as the year goes on.

[Jane]

I woke up, got out of bed at about 12:30, fed my cat, emptied the litter box, took a shower, got dressed, ate a meatball wrap thing (quite delish), and have now caught up with all the posts.

And that was my early afternoon.

DR Druxy, did you notice how late DR George slept, without having to get up to feed the cat?

Just scroll back through bk's posting frenzy last night.

My niece and sister have to get up very early to feed their three cats!  I don't get it.  My cat gets (and expects to be) fed when I get up to feed her...whenever that is.  I'm not a morning person, and fortunately my cat isn't either.

They are very good and have no trans fats.  My sister (the vegetarian) loves them, too.

i have had a total of 11 cats & i never woke up because they wanted to be fed.

And now for something completely different:

New WA law against puppy mills.

[Jane]

that is still a lot of dogs.  still, it is a good start.

For the past several months, our cat has slept locked in our 2nd bathroom where we can't hear her.  When we get up, we let her out and feed her.

She is surviving just fine.

cilla....  lol i know what a blue moon is.  one beautiful clear night it really seemed to be blue making it extra special.

Oh I agree.  IT was so bright out here last night with the moon and the snow, I probably could have read a book without turning on the light.  I just found it curious that more than one person mentioned it looked blue

[Cillaliz]

I mostly watched Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper last night. But i did watch parts of Ryan Seacrest and Dick Clark. I used to watch him all the time on New Year's eve.  But it makes me uncomfortable to watch him now. Although i think he looks fine.  I know it's tradition.  But i can't imagine that the younger generation would want to watch him.  I would be okay with having him on for a few minutes. But they seemed to spend a lot of time showing him.

I am also very sympathetic to his condition.   I'm curious what viewers thought.

I tried to watch Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin but she drives me nuts and I could care a less about whether she swears or whether she has to pay money back or really anything else about her.  I didn't find her funny at all.  I gave up and turned off the TV and took a nice hot bath.  I did watch Carson Daly for the countdown in central time

and i feel bad not letting sherlock sleep on the bed

Did i mention he began cuddling with me at night again & flopping on top of me.  keith was exhausted from rescuing me over & over, so sherlock is back to sleeping in his own bed on the floor next to me.

I always put some food out before I go to bed and they don't try to wake me up to eat...to  play, yes,. but not to eat

got it, not that we thought it was called a blue moon because it is blue, but that it looked blue to us    only once did i see a blue moon with a blue tint.

all my cats have woken me up to play and to cuddle.  bogie was notorious for waking me up to snuggle under the covers, at least several times a night.

[Jane]

i'm with you cilla, i do not like kathy griffin.

[Cillaliz]

I have had a very busy day. I started by attacking some of the ice buikd up on the roof by opening up the upstairs window and literally going at it with a hammer (the ice not the roof) Then I put these hockey puck size things of roof melt in several places.  We'll see if that helps any.

[Cillaliz]

Then I decided to start preparing the things that need to go from the house to the new office - which led to putting my old kitchen table and 4 new wooden chairs in the Prius (yes it all fit) and taking them to the old office space.  I went up to the new one while I was in the buiding.  The carpet isn't completely in, but it's looking just as I hoped it would.   I ran into the computer guy who was going to work today on finishing the newtwork jacks.  Who knew on a holiday?

[bk]

Back from a marvelously marvelous party at Barry Pearl's and his ever-lovin' Cindy.  I saw a few people I hadn't seen in ages, so that was grand fun.  My old pal Joel Zwick, who directed many Laverne and Shirley episodes was there and it was fantastic seeing him again.  Don Petrie was there, as was writer Sam Bobrick (we talked about Walter Willison, who was in Sam's play Norman, Is That You? on Broadway).  Sheldon Epps was there and we reminisced fondly about recording his production of Play On.  I met a few new people, including a sweet gal, an aspiring actress named Kristen.  Food was excellent and I did not overeat - in fact, I had a piece of ham, one shrimp cocktail shrimp, a couple of bites of broccoli salad and a half of a deviled egg.  That was it.  I did have a small slice of chocolate mousse cake, but all in all, I ate very little.
