Here's a recipe for Green Olive Beef Tenderloin from an acquaintance who writes cookbooks. Perfect for any holiday meal:

That looks incredible!

Just saw "Tangled" this afternoon. Good fun. But I prefer the old-fashioned drawing. These 3-D style (I saw it in 2-D) characters look sickly and strange to me. I liked the script, but I preferred the visuals of the "The Princess and the Frog."


I think the leading male character is a hottie!  Can you say that about a cartoon character?
I guess you like things animated.

Feel better soon, DR Elmore. Your kitty-to-come needs you.

I've had some matzoh ball soup, taken my meds, and I am ready for bed. My eyes are not enjoying the light and I will probably be asleep within the next hour.

DR TCB, thanks for the vibes!
Elmore, if you want to adopt a kitten, I would suggest going to the shelter or to a mobile adoption unit and meeting the kitten. By the way, kittens are in great demand now. Any kittens there will be adopted. Summertime is when you will save a life.

DR Laura, I appreciate all the advice you nd cillaliz can give. I'm not adopting a kitten this month but I am having a lot of fun prepping for it. My neighbor Judy works with several animal rescue efforts and I'll talk to her as well.

My advice is to follow your instinct.  It's a good idea to have your friend go with you to check the cat over for things like ringworm.  It just looked like a patch of missing hair on Ricky.  Doesn't mean the cat doesn't need a home, but the treatment and all involved can be  expensive, so if there are patches of hair missing you may want to move on.

Your friends with pets might see adoptable cats through their vets.  Those should come with some sort of health guaranty for a short period of time.

Apparently this birthday card was supposed to be sent to MBarnum, but it got lost in the ether world.

DR JohnG - Will you be trying out any more new restaurants soon? Or cookie and cake recipes? ;)
All the time. Any type of recipe you interested in? I'm making Mom's Tennessee Jam Cake tomorrow because it needs to sit a few days (actually about two weeks) before it's at its best.


Well... I was just hoping that all your recipe tasting and testing wasn't the cause of your acid reflux.

Jose's post sent me into giggles.  We are cleaning out our liqueur cabinet.  There is way too much stuff in there.  I decided to taste each of the whiskey bottles to determine what I like and don't like.  My conclusion, we have way to many open bottles of whiskey & not one bottle of Crown Royal.  Way too much that little tastes added up to too much whiskey for me to drink on an empty stomach, and I didn't like most of them. 

I then tasted some Glenlivet which I enjoyed very much & think a couple of the whiskeys destroyed my taste buds & it is possible I might like some of the whiskeys I thought I didn't like.


And I guess the lesson learned today, is that if you want your liquor cabinet cleaned out, DON'T call Jane.

I'm pleased to see you are seriously looking for a cat.   They are such great company.  I would suggest going to the shelter or adoption center and playing with the cat before adoption.  Some cats are much more affectionate, some don't really want to be held etc.   You can't really tell that from the internet.

This last time, I had my mind made up about the cat I wanted to adopt but when I met the cat, there was no connection what-so-ever.  I kept looking and Ricky captured my heart.  He hadn't been there long enough to be online yet. He was past the cute kitten stage, so his chances of being adopted were less that a kitty.   I posted the other cat on my facebook and don't know if that helped, but she was adopted within a day or so. 

I'm window shopping. Part of the complication I'm having is that for a lot of the young cats the caretaker is asking for a cat to be apodted into a cat household or for you to adopt two cats, Right now, with my current cash flow hell, I cannot really afford to take one, much less two! I am having fun looking and I think something will happen with one or two cats in the near future.



I wouldn't worry about that, elmore.  This flavor is pretty tasty on Ritz Crackers.

Tomorrow night I'm seeing the tour of A Chorus Line, so today I watched Every Little Step.  It was a fun doc to watch. I hadn't seen it before.  Jon and I saw the revival on Broadway on the last night of previews, so the doc was the cast I saw.  Fun.

Western Washington has apparently survived the Pineapple Express.  Tacoma ended up with a little less than two inches.  Bremerton, which is about twenty miles from my place got almost six inches of rain.

Just finished watching a truly awful motion picture - 1970, I think - what a stinker, but a really interesting one for many reasons.

The weather wasn't bad today.  It was REALLY cold, but not snowing.  I dug out the driveway fairly early, just didn't go anywhere.  We're supposed to have snow showers tomorrow, but that will be ok

I heard that I was being discussed today for my FB comments regarding the weather and the Symphony not cancelling. I also have yet to find someone who actually went to the symphony.   I have heard of a lot of musicians who couldn't get there.  I can't imagine a concert with 1/2 or less of the musicians showing up
