Am braising oxtails for dinner. Have never made this before, and it's rather disgusting. But the flavor has always haunted me. Definitely in my top five favorite dishes. I just may have to leave the cooking of it up to others, though.

I grew up eating oxtail stew and it was fantastic. I only made it once & learned what happens if you use too much barley.

No barley in my recipe. Just onions, red wine, seasonings, garlic and shallots. And oxtail.

First two reviews of "Book of Mormon" have been really bad, but one was from Terry Teachout and that's not unexpected.

Variety and Hollywood Reporter are raves for BOOK OF MORMON. Likewise L.A. Times and Washington Post.

Re Book of Mormon - I think it's probably a fun show that's not great - however, you're going to find a lot of critics who jump on the "got to be hip" bandwagon. It happens with every single show like this.

As to bullying, those who've read Kritzer Time know I was regularly bullied and it was much worse than in the book, where I basically boil it all down to one person doing it (and yes, he does get his, just as he did in real life, albeit in a slightly more devious way) - the reality was it was several people who were relentless about it. No violence, just verbal threats and endless harassment.

Jrand - very frustrating when people don't listen to the people withe facts ---

How true! A friend of mine sent me the e-mail about July of this year having five Fridays, five Saturdays, and fvie Sundays. Something that won't happen again for 800 years. Fine and dandy, except that it isn't true. Since she had sent it to everyone on her address book, I thought she might want to know that it was false. So I wrote back and said, "Sorry, but this isn't true." We have been friends for twenty years, and she knows that I almost always check things out before I forward them on to my address book. But she writes back, "How so?" Not thanks for telling me or anything else; like she thinks I am making the whole thing up.

Meanwhile, Ann and Mike apparently removed two posts that were apparently supportive of me this afternoon.

Bullying comes in various ways, and the bullies know they're evil, but Ann Miner and Mike Reynolds probably don't recognize their own evil. IMHO, that makes them ever scarier, evil people that cloak their evil in business as usual.

P.S. Thanks for the kind words, John G, Jane, and George.

Hey Laura - any houses in your neighborhood up for sale?

As a matter of fact, yes, right down the street.

LOL!

Today at work, we had a chili cook-off. There were nine different versions of chili. I brought my sister's vegan chili, someone brought chili that had cashews, and someone else even brought chili with lamb. Most were pretty good and a lot of chili got eaten. Some of my sister's was left over and I'm taking that home so I'll have food for the next several days.

I missed DR SwishySarah last night. Very nice to see her stop by and glad to hear that her life is swell!!

And yes, she was but a teenager when she started on HHW. She was hear even before I was. There were lots of teens at HHW back then...of course they are no longer teens...and no longer on HHW.

I was a teen when I started on HHW also, wasn't I? I am pretty sure.

Did they have teens in the Ice Age?

I was twenty when I made it & can't remember if there was wine. Try adding some barley next time just don't add too much. By the next morning is had absorbed all the liquid.

If you are at the train station there is a wonderful bakery amongst the shops. It is the second location for the bakery Bryan got his wedding desserts from, all of which came from the entremets menu. The were so incredibly delicious I had to make a trip to the bakery last time I was in Chicago. My favorite was a chocolate cake I can't recall the name of. Fortunately Bryan & Kate told me what to get before I went there.

Well, I need to leave now. I have to get my chili and bring it home before I go to rehearsal.

Have a good evening, all.

Keith was walking down Robertson Blvd not far from his house, which was also near the high school, when a bully walked up, said something rude, and knocked him out. I can't remember if he was in elementary school or Jr. High at the time. It was before I met him.

I don't ever remember being injured or frightened by bulling. I was teased & called names such as fat. Bozo the clown perms didn't help and being kept in little girl clothes as I got older didn't help.

I've judged more than my share of chili competitions here in Texas. I've had chili with sugar in it (horror), chili with coconut, chili with fruit. Those are generally the neighborhood, church, business chili cook-off entries. But the serious cook-offs -- the ones with money or prestige attached -- have rigid rules. No beans. No identifiable meat. No identifiable ingredients, such as onions.

They would not take kindly to Skyline Chili here.

Hard to believe, but the IMHO disgusting creeps Ann and Mike of All that Chat supported my "cyber-bullies/cyber-stalkers" by suspending me from their chat board for 30 days when I just tried to discuss the theater-writing-related aspects of the cyber-stalking and cyber-bullying issue.

"TBAdmin" describes them perfectly. The two of them are IMHO emblematic of a diseased administrative mind

THAT IS HORRIBLE!
