TOD: Italian food all the way for me, with a smidge of Greek and a soupçon of French and English food thrown in. :0

I love a brilliant antipasti selection...especially with well-prepared eggplant and multiple other veggies from which to choose.
I'm nuts about chicken- or pork-filled tortellini with Bolognese sauce.
I crave an authentic Pizza Margarita.
And I'll thrown in an authentic calzone with prosciutto and mushrooms.

Love souvlaki and shish-ka-bobs as served in Athens' Plaka District. Toss in fresh veggies and tsatsiki and I'm in heaven.

Love the way the French prepare steak with peppercorns...and lamb chops.

Bedtime (before I raid the refrigerator).

Had a long but very nice weekend.

The wedding in New Jersey was wonderful. We had a grand time and we are very happy for our friends.

The time on Long Island was well spent and all is well out there.

And now the work week begins anew.

I'm looking forward to the 4th of July when I will take a couple of days off and we will relax.

And now, farewell for now.

Re: No curtains.

I'm going to assume that the producers are the ones behind no curtains. It cost money to have union guys to raise and lower the curtain a few times a performance. I am sure curtains can be raised (and lowered) with a push of a button, but you'll still need to pay those union guys as if they were doing it themselves.

BTW I have nothing against unions they are important

I thought the laws of New York required a fire curtain, that coulld only be raised when the show was ready to start. I guess I am out touch with Broadway theaters. Next thing I know, you will be telling me that they no longer use ghost lights.

I never remembered seeing a fire curtain raised before a show started in NYC

BUT

In London theaters during the interval a fire curtain is lowered and raised

TOD: I love the food I found in Portugal, especially the seafood dishes. A favorite is cataplana, a mixture of clams and pork in a wine-rice stew with vegetables. You cook it in a clam shell-shaped dish that you turn over during the middle of cooking.

I also had a soup that was simply made with stale bread, broth and about a pound and a half of lobster. I dream o that dish.

Favorite meal is what you see below, a lunch at a place we stumbled on during our last day of my most recent visit.

Ah I can tell already that the TOD is going to make this an excellent day here at HHW!!! Food!!!!

Unfortunately because I have an uneducated palate - I cannot add much to the discussion.....except to say once at some restaurant in Baltimore I had a dish called Seafood Picasso which was a selection of seafood that was GREAT.....however none of my food excreted on the plate like MR BK's....so now I am feeling cheated.

Off to do the Monday banking and shopping.

I shall return.

Good morning, all! I am moving, but I am very tired. I feel like something out of a George Romero film and I suspect I will be in bed quite early tonight.

Last night, i attended the East Coast Singer's show at the Metropolitan Room in the most excellent company of BK, DR ChasSmith, Julie, Milla, and the ever lovely Crista Moore, whom I hadn't seen in several years. She sings "The Second Star To The Right" on BK's Peter Pan recording, which is one of my personal favorite orchestrations and one of my favorite tracks. The show was quite a lot of fun, and there were some wonderful moments and a few lovely songs I had never before heard. After the show, DR ChasSmith generously offered me a ride uptown and I turned him down because I wanted to stop at the Dunkin' Donuts on 23rd and pick up something for breakfast. Silly me. When I got to Dunkin' Donuts, it was closed.

So, I got to the subway and found Milla, who'd been waiting for a bit on a train and we rode uptown together. I got home a bit before midnight. and got caught up in a screaming fight on THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY, my favorite comedy series, and turned out the lights far too late. Still, it was one helluva good weekend with productive work and spendng time with BK & Co.

Today, I've got to schlep some things down to Toyland before I can head to a post office and send a new full score to Dublin. Then, I'll head back here to figure out what needs to be accomplishedwith these liner notes.

I wish, during the heyday of the Russian Tea Room, that i'd had the funds to have dinner there. I could never afford it.

But first......on time, safe, and speedy return to California vibes for MR BK.

And thanks for the SHOW REPORT.....hopefully we will get a couple of more today.....

DR JRand61, since my typing's so poor, the Greeks probably have another word for it, but "typing" works for me!

I call it typing but nowadays it's referred to as "keyboarding" Not gonna happen, at least for me.

Mousaka. I've been visiting Jimmys Greek restaurant in Soho, London for their authentic mousaka for nearly 40 years until they sadly closed down recently.

They call it "computer keyboarding" so boys would sign up to take the class. "Typing" is for girls.

Well, my work hasn't been in vain. The Library of Congress may do a Victor Herbert concert in the fall and that would help promote the Herbert Collection. I am very excited about this.
