Now this what "Pipe Dream" should sound like. I listened to the original cast twice and I had the voices of all three leads. This is much better.

Who are the performers?
Will Chase and Laura Osnes, then Leslie Uggams.

Just harvested a load of loquats, which I've started to pickle. First major harvest from this tree, which I planted 11 years ago. And I haven't made a dent in what the tree has one it.

Looks like loquat pie and loquat cobbler this week.

what in the world is a loquat?

A fruit. It's what sweet-and-sour sauce is made from.

Here's a link with more information:

Really got into cooking today. Started the loquat pickles, then made a Hawaiian Horseradish Salad that would be a good harosset for Passover with apples, celery, walnuts and mayo in addition to the horseradish.

Then I made strawberry-loquat empanadas. I've never made empanadas before, so I hope they came out OK. They're too hot at the moment to pick up.

And for dinner: Low-carb tacos. I used cabbage leaves instead of taco shells and filled them with pork belly, radishes, onions, cilantro from the garden, jalapenos and salsa. Mighty fine. And unlike the empanada, they're on the diet.

I have to call the dentist tomorrow though as i broke my left rear molar - I suspect that I am going to lose it now which ticks me off as it cost an arm and a leg for the root canal

DR Jennifer I went to Goodreads & couldn't find anything about email options.  I did find several recommendations that looked interesting.  I also rated a number of books.  I will try to be better about doing so which should improve the quality of suggested books for me to read.

Help!

I tried to sign in to Facebook on my smart phone, but it temporarily blocked my account and then sent me an e-mail saying that someone had tried to log in to my account.  When I went into Facebook to say that it was oklay to allow me on the other device, it said the account was accessed from Overland park, Kansas and not Tacoma.  Why wuold that be?

When you tried to sign in on your phone did you not get the password the first time? Regardless of where you tried to access your facebook page. As long as you got the password correct wouldn't you be okay? 

This is DR Danise's phone, right? Not sure why it would say Kansas. Can you still log in from your computer?

No, I couldn't sign into Facebook on either machine; until I went thru their security system.

Is there another word that is used to describe pork bellies?  I don't think I have seen those in the stores here.

I will look around there tomorrow to see if i notice anything.  Off thetop of my head the only thing i can think od is that you ticked the "follow reviews" when you became friends.

Nope. Kumquats are a citrus fruit. These aren't.

No. That's what it is. And except for the place I found it, it's often overpriced. .

Starting to watch "Tanner '88" for the first time in ages. I don't know if I can stomach the fact that the political scene is still as inane and insane as it was back then.

Today, I've been watching TV...a lot of TV.  I also finally decided to clear some things off my DVD burner.  I don't know how much room my DVD burner actually has, but I know how much time I have left:  about 6 hours on the XP speed.  I still have things on there going all the way back 2008!  I just burned a DVD of pop/rock performers on TV talk shows...performers like John Legend, OK Go, Weezer, Maroon 5...just a bunch of totally random songs that I liked.  The newest musical clip that I decided to burn is November 2011.  This first disc is about 2 hours long, so that's 2 hours cleared off.

Just had to share. :)

Back from an absolutely great show - more in the notes, but it really could not have gone better, with one tiny exception which had nothing to do with the show itself or the sound and lighting, but with the digital grand piano.  We're now all going to actively pressure Michael Sterling to get a real piano in there.
