Do Rice Krispies count? Well, then...how about Rice Krispy Squares?

Ditto and Ditto!!

I do like fried rice or steamed rice at Panda Express (I usually get either some of their sweet and sour sauce or their Mandarin sauce to put on the steamed rice) or just about any Spanish/Mexican rice. Surprisingly, I don't like rice pudding at all...I don't know why.

I muchly prefer tapioca pudding to rice pudding.

Zach and I are back from an all morning quest to find a Bed, Bath and Beyond (the beyond was particularly appropriate). A bunch of idiots (technical term) at other stores kept telling us there was one in the same general vicinity, and I kept insisting it was at a nearby mall, but NOOOOOO, "just drive down there," etc., etc., etc. An hour later we went to the one I knew existed.

Bed, Bath and Beyond...I at first I read that as Bed, Boys & Beyond.

Lucky I don't read JMK's posts or I would wonder why he didn't offer to let me stay at his house!

Ask Jane how many steps are in this place.

Thanks for the vibes for Bryan. I don't know if he is crashing on a couch or what. I'll get details on Saturday

DR JMK, Bryan does dishes but not windows. He is also an incredible cook, both my boys are.

Our Dairy Queen closed a number of years ago but I didn't care. When I'm in Medford (the big city for us) I go to Baskin Robins.

Speaking of doing dishes, Craig is currently doing them & is making something new for dinner.

APARTMENT HUNTING VIBES FOR ROB, DS OF DR GINNY!!!

Craig is also looking for an apartment, in Pittsburg. Once he has a place to live he will move there. No, he doesn't have a job there. He has been doing online contracted/consulting work.

Restaurant Requires Patrons to Sign Contract Before Eating

Quote
We’ve all been at the movies or out to dinner when someone nearby makes a loud call on their cell phone or checks their e-mail using a brightly-lit screen. While some people may feel that electronic interruptions are now a part of everyday life, one restaurant is aiming to change that by requiring patrons to sign a contract promising they won’t use phones or PDAs in the dining room.

...

Maybe this idea should be extended to theaters.

Bet we'd get BK's vote!

Latest adventure with the Grandlads:

I did offer him the following observation:

A. You let us help you pick out two books, tonight, at the store which you will take home and read, or
B. Your Mother will pick out two books from the Library on her way home from work and she’ll make you read them.

Your choice – Door A or Door B.
(“Make him an offer he can’t refuse.”)

What was the book you got him that he has to wait to read?

Good evening! I am back from a long day of rehearsal: soloists in the afternoon, with Dean in from Munich and Phillip in from around the corner, both lovely gentlemen, and an evening rehearsal with chorus and soloists. Some things are still iffy but the soloists are amazing: Eamonn and Mary moved me to tears with 'Thine Alone,' and Lynda Lee amazes me with her voice. I adore Rachel Kelly, the baby of the group, who's not only a beautiful and funny lady, but a really good artist.

I heard tonight from one of our producers that our actors for Lanty Hackett and Humpy GTrogan, blackguards, informers, and traitors, are now cast and showing up tomorrow and showing up at rehearsal with Joe and Andrew, our last two singers.

After rehearsal, conductor David Brophy and I stepped out for a pint of Guinness and talked about Brendan Behan, who knew David's grandfather. And now to bed.

I have LOTS of relatives in Pittsburgh, Jane.

Though I doubt Craig would want to stay with any of them.

We do love Yogi, he just needs time to get used to new people.

Did the four-mile jog, which was REALLY difficult. Did some errands and whatnot and then had a bacon cheeseburger. I'm in and not going out anymore.

The Woman Who Did Not Come to Dinner Department: I guess some people will do anything to avoid coming to our house--just got a call from the husband of a lady I worked for for years back in my 20s and 30s, whom we had invited to dinner tomorrow night, telling me she just had a heart attack. She's okay, had a stent placed in and seems to be doing fine, but no dinner tomorrow night.

I found it very odd the other day as I was searching to see which old VHS stuff had come out on DVD and BD. Why, for instance, would a tiny film like STRANGER FROM VENUS be available while THE GO-BETWEEN should not? It's not a case of PD versus copyright, as many I found were imports anyway from nations that don't observe US copyright customs.

Jennifer · « **Reply #117 on:** August 18, 2011, 04:35:27 PM »

I'm curious for the people with kids on HHW. In the US in what grade do they teach kids how to read?

I'm wondering what grade it is here. I would have thought grade 1. Although my niece is taking grade 1 in french. So if they teach her how to read it would be in french.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #118 on:** August 18, 2011, 04:36:49 PM »

When I was in school it was first grade.

Jennifer · « **Reply #119 on:** August 18, 2011, 04:38:35 PM »

Something odd. My niece taught herself to read this past year (when she was 5). My sister's best friend's sister runs a daycare and she could not believe that a 5 year old could read. So the friend videotaped my niece reading the newspaper.

Apparently my niece's friends who are mostly 6 can't read (I would have thought that most kids would have picked up some reading on their own).I thought it was interesting that my niece taught herself to read. But i never thought it was that special. I mean she will be starting grade 1 in 2 weeks. I was surprised that the friend's sister could not fathom a 5 year old reading. It's not like she was 2. Now if my other niece could read that would be impressive.
