Well, you've read the notes, the notes ran amok, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently eating pastries and running aMOOk.

Good morning, all! It was too warm here last night for a decent sleep. and then I had truly bizarre dreams involving a killing, my carrying the victim's gun around and waiting for the police, and a dinner date with Dame Judi Dench.

Today, I have to search through the clutter I removed from Toyland for some valuable papers, transfer my NYPL notes to my Herbert recording notes, possibly do some laundry, and that's my day. The IRS has cashed in my estimated tax payment, so I guess there will be no Feds showing up at my door for a while.

DR JRand60, what excellent news! Who's playing Eulalie MacKechnie Shinn?

TOD:

I've always been fond of the delish offerings at the Pink Rose bakery on South Street in Philly. I especially loved their cherry and chocolate croissants.

Janet Stuckey, the lady in charge of Special Collections at the Miami U Library, is retiring at the end of the month and I am in very sad about this. I hope her replacement is as wonderful and as much fun to work with.

DR Laura, hadn't thought about the Charles Phoenix tour...must look into that!

and I would most definately love a Kritzerland tour, if the tour guide has the time to do so!!

MBarnum · « **Reply #20 on:** April 12, 2011, 06:58:19 AM »

I will for sure be going on a Laurie Mitchell, old Hollywood tour...Laurie wants me to drive her to see her the home which she and her first husband, a magician named Larry White, had built in the hills above Studio City back in the mid 50s.

I'm surprised you're not booking a tour of all the old folks homes and actors retirement centers. I've also heard a rumor you're now dating on ancestry.com that I hope you will confirm or deny.

TOD: Mom is a baker, so the house was always filled with dozens upon dozens of cookies she was making for some customer or other.

Of the hundreds of cookies she makes, my favorite is called a rum tart. She rolls a vanilla cookie dough incredibly, paper thin before cutting them out, usually in circles but sometimes in shapes during holidays or for special occasions (she does a version for baby showers in the shape of a baby's foot). After the cookies bake and have cooled, she tops one with a thin layer of homemade raspberry jam. She then places another cooking on top, like a sandwich, and ices the finished tart with some rum glaze (negligible amount of rum). The whole cookie is no deeper than 1/8 of an inch and it just melts on your tongue.

I don't have the patience to roll out the dough that thin and I'm too clumsy to get them not to break when I try to put on the jam or the glaze. But I guess I'm going to have to learn one of these days, as her fingers are getting a little stiff and she has said she is retired from the biz. Still, they are exceedingly good.

Watched several movies yesterday while trying not to work. "Born to Dance" with Eleanor Powell and some lovely Cole Porter song, even sung by Jimmy Stewart, was the most interesting.
