TOD:

Moon pies or whatever.

I love chocolate goodies.

Good morning, all! I love the photos!

I am so happy that the show went well and that everyone had a great time. I wish that circumstances had let me go to Ohio this weekend so I could have spent time with DRs Ginny and Dakotacelt and seen THE BRAIN. Alas, not the week of April 15th, I'm sorry to say, but I was there in spirit. I really would have loved to meet DRs JRand and Charles Pogue, so perhaps on my next Ohio jaunt I can make a few treks around the hood. I still think THE BRAIN should be a Comedy Central or SyFy Channel extravaganza. Bring on the photos!

Today, I am packing up a couple of more Ohio-bound cartons and working on reports for the two Victor Herbert shows. Then more BONES! I am obsessed.

Great photos, JRand. Thanks for sharing.

It's pouring outside again, so I don't know what my plans for the day will be. I was supposed to sell beer at an outdoor event called Fiesta Oyster Bake at which you can but oysters of all types, from baked to on the half shell. But with the rain, it might be canceled. Who knows. But we need the rain, so I'm not complaining.

Last night's tamale fest was actually completely indoors at a renovated church that was nothing but the stone walls and a gorgeous hardwood floor, so it was perfect for such events. About 10 restaurants and caterers offers everything from traditional to sweet tamales in various shapes and forms. Favorites included a contemporary one made with crawfish meat and had a cheesy bechamel sauce over the top and a dessert tamale with plenty of pecan and a touch of fresh pineapple in it.

One thing that won't be rained out is a trip to a dive bar tonight called the Hangin' Tree Saloon. A friend is driving down from Austin to hear a cowboy singer/songwriter she loves named James Hand. He's really quite good at what he does, so there will be plenty of two-stepping and western waltzes, longneck beers and broken hearts by the end of the evening.

TOD: I read a fun book on old-fashioned candies a couple of years ago called "Candyfreak" by Steve Almond, who sort of ate his way aross the country in search of the better, lesser-known candies and candy bars such as Charleston Chews, Goo Goo Clusters, and Peanut Chews. Seems many of these regional treats are still made, but you won't find them on candy shelves because the major companies have bought up all the available shelf space.

We have a liquor store in town called Spec's that carries all of these little brands, including Fizzy Drink Tablets and Chuckles.

My favorites? Mallo Cups. I probably couldn't eat a pack now, given my diabetes and the highly sweet nature of the marshmallow cream, but, boy, did I ever put away my share when I was a kid.

John G. · « **Reply #37 on:** April 17, 2010, 06:47:39 AM »

A small but tasty image of Mallo Cups to whet your appetite.

DR Cillaliz - Thanks for thinking of that.

I actually love those commercials. I couldn't resist

The photos are coming up mostly as "x" on my computer, but a few of them did load. Thanks for putting them up, DR JRand.

Good morning!

Not as cool this morning as it has been (54), but we're beginning a cool down for the next four days, so that should be nice.

Matt H. · « **Reply #43 on:** April 17, 2010, 07:08:04 AM »

I didn't have a great night of sleep last night. Got something ticklish in my throat so woke up coughing after about 45 minutes, and then had to read for an hour to feel sleepy again. Argh!

Matt H. · « **Reply #44 on:** April 17, 2010, 07:08:47 AM »

DR Jose,

I had never thought about putting moon pies in the microwave. I usually like them, but sometimes they are a bit dry, and this sound like it would help that circumstance a lot. Thanks for the suggestion!

Matt H. · « **Reply #45 on:** April 17, 2010, 07:09:46 AM »

I'm eager to have a free day today. I have some phone calls to make and some DVR stuff I want to get watched. TOnight, I want to finally watch RESURRECTION which I haven't seen in years, and I'll likely watch another Warner Archive disc, too, unless I get a hankering for something on Blu-ray instead.

Matt H. · « **Reply #46 on:** April 17, 2010, 07:11:30 AM »

The forecast said rain for today, but it's beautiful outside now. My walk was very pleasant, and I wondered then if the weathermen got it wrong. Of course, clouds could easily move in later, but it is certainly a beautiful spring day right now.

Matt H. · « **Reply #47 on:** April 17, 2010, 07:12:47 AM »

Of course, bk, we always hope your travel goes well. On the other hand, your stories about noisy, inconsiderate passengers and crying babies never fail to make me laugh.

Morning all. I am on Long Island for the weekend to help Anthony with some details of life that need attending to.

That is all.

Saturday morning greetings! It was great to read the glowing reports of last night's Brain gathering. I was sorry to miss it, but DR DakotaCelt needed her rest in order to be able to defend soap operas as vehicles of civic engagement this morning. And, last night I was out cold by 10:30pm, apparently the height of the fun in Indy.

Matt H. · « **Reply #50 on:** April 17, 2010, 07:47:23 AM »

I'm going to do some desktop tidying up and then head down to get the rest of the day started.

Never had a moon pie. Don't even know what a moon pie is.

But I do love Chalava, (Marbled or chocolate covered)

Favorite Canadian chocolate bars

Coffee Crisp

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I guess I slept through breakfast... Although, it appears that some of my friends slept through it too, so we're going to meet for a very late lunch/early dinner later.

Wondering what ever happen to the following Broadway musical performers

Ben Harney (Dreamgirls)*
Jere Shea (Passion)
Leilani Jones (grind)*
Brian Backer (The Flaoting Lightblub)* (Okay not a musical but still wondering)
Michael McGuire (Les Miz)*
Frances Ruffelle (Les Miz)*

Robert Westenberg (Into the Woods, Sunday in the Park With George) (hasn't been on Broadway for 12 years

* Harney won a Tony award and never did another Broadway shiow. Jones, McGuire Ruffelle and Backer did one show and won a Tony Award and never did another Broadway show

Hmm...

I may have to make a trip to "For the Love of Chocolate" in Carytown which has a whole display of "old time candy"... Hmmm... Or I could just wait till I get back to NYC and head down to Economy Candy. -I believe some DRs may be familiar with that place.
