Good Evening!

I'm back from a nice long stroll around the Upper East Side... With some stops for a properly made cup of Ovaltine, a slice of "cacio e pepe" pizza, a brown sugar espresso shortbread cookie and a cortado. :)

I had the roast chicken together with the roast Brussels sprouts. I've not roasted sprouts before but they were certainly delicious cooked that way.

Keith mentioned the price of brussel sprouts has been great.  He doesn't know why.  How are your prices?

They're in season right now. A very hearty winter vegetable.

Juniors!

I used to do their publicity.

I could write a whole new book on that one.

 :P

Maybe I don't want to ruin good memories.

After Keith & I moved to the Valley we discovered this wonderful deli that reminded us of Juniors.  When we mentioned it to the owner he told us he had recently split off from Juniors.  I don't remember the name of the deli.  I believe he was the brother to "Junior" & the original s in Juniors.

That was Eddie Saul's deli.  He was Marvin Saul's brother.  Marvin owned Juniors and was the one who hired me.

The brothers did not get along.

I met Eddie when his daughters moved into my condo complex in Calabasas.

I could write a book about them, too.

Thanks for clarifying that.  How long was the deli around?  We expected it to do well.

Don't recall.  It had closed long before I left Los Angeles.

Long for sure.  I think it closed long before we left LA.

I thought that might be it.  They must have two seasons.

I think I will play with the new used computer I bought - it finally arrived, and it will not go to the theatre until May.

Sunday evening greetings!  I almost wimped out of the trip to Lima today because I slept very poorly last night, but ended up going with Fr. Richard.  Church was uneventful and afterwards we paid a nursing home call.  We were going to have lunch when we left there, but it was beginning to snow so we decided to high-tail it southward.  The conditions were almost like a white-out, but the roads weren't getting slick.  We drove out from under the snowstorm just north of Dayton - whew! - and picked up a late lunch to bring home.  We arrived just in time to tune into the figure skating coverage.

I'm back from my friends' house.  They're putting an addition on it and renovating a lot of the rest of the house.  I helped move boxes and other items from the top floor to the basement.  And other things.   It was pretty tiring.   I'm glad to be home.

Yesterday was a long one for me. I judged a wine competition in the morning and afternoon, which is hard work that was made even harder by the allergies closing up my nostrils way too frequently, making it harder to smell the wines (and aroma is so important).

In the evening, it was off to the cocktail conference, which was held at the Esquire, home of the longest bar in Texas. Mixologists (the name bartender is apparently too passe') were lined up down the bar and made special drinks crafted for the event. The Love Bite, for example, had vodka and absinthe with some other flavors stirred in. Trendy touches were sprays of bitters and loads of hand-chipped ice.

Ice is apparently one of the trendiest topics for these folks. There was even a seminar on the subject.

After tasting about three of those, I went off to the symphony, where the Beethoven cycle continued. The performance of the 7th was spectacular, with a crescendo of energy at the end that induced a wave of goosebumps.



Couldn't you have taken a doggie bag with you to the concert?

Wow that sounds like Harry & Charlie's Meat Market and Butchering Emporium in Mooresville.

Charlie ran off with Harry's wife and it became Harry's Meat Market and then Charlie opening Charlie's Butcher Shop across the street.

That was ten years ago.  Now Charlie's place is empty and Harry's place is a bait and tackle shop.

I believe Frank Wildhorn has already optioned the musical rights.

And now the local NBC station is breaking into the LIVE coverage of the leaders' free skates because the Patriots are walking into their hotel.



I would assume at this moment that they would be walking out of their hotel.

I had the roast chicken together with the roast Brussels sprouts. I've not roasted sprouts before but they were certainly delicious cooked that way.
I inspired me to buy just-picked baby Brussels sprouts at the farmers market today. They're the tiniest things I've ever seen. I think I'm just going to cook mine in butter.

With a name like "sprout,' you were expecting them to be large?

Jane, you'll be proud of me. A completely vegetarian meal (not vegan). I sauteed the brussels sprouts in butter and triple sec. Baked cauliflower steaks in truffle oil. And made a little dip to go with some raw radishes.
