JULY WE HARDLY KNEW YE - OR, THE POMPADOUR
« on: July 31, 2012, 12:36:20 AM »

Well, you've read the notes, the notes hardly knew ye and had a pompadour, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently making a silk purse out of a cow's ear.  Or is it a sow's ear?  Or is it a pompadour?

First post again!  Wow!

The AC people will be here today in the afternoon.  Hoping they can find and FIX the problem.  I'm getting tired of climbing up into the attic.

Vibes of comfort to DR Elmore.
Vibes of healing to DR TCB and DR Cillaliz and DH Keith
Vibes of justice  to DR JRand
Vibes of taking it easy to DR Vixmom

Vibes of all kinds all other who need or want them!

Have a wonder filled day!

Good morning, all! This morning, I have a visit from an agent from Health Plan of New York to check out my Medicare concerns; i have none, so this will be a short meeting. Then, I guess I will head down to Toyland for another round of toting, carting, and unpacking. I also have to deal with a situation involving a friend I do not look forward to. On the plus side, I can stop by my accountant and learn how things worked out with social security.

BK, after the tsuris of last week's emails involving plucked and bowed strings and me and your email yesterday advising  you "not to pay attention to the people on the castrec group," I'm starting to think you need to send some email senders directly to Junk and never read them. I looked over the entire FOLLIES thread on the Castrecl archive this morning, and I would swear I've seen nothing negatve: people are either falling over themselves to wax enthusiastically about the rcording or to weep profusely that their copy has yet to arrive.

I did notice on the Original Cast Site on Facebook that a certain poster who's caused trouble for recording sessions in the mid-1990s has been praising the remix to the skies, and my initial reaction was astonishment. Perhaps if you want to encourage this email sender to be more specific on what was being said negatively on Castrecl - it might be in a paragraph ofcomments from an entirely different post - more could be deciphered, but I would swear I recall seeing nothing negative.

More coffee.

I liked the twists of last night's episode of THE CLOSER, one happily didn't go where you suspect it would and one that really shocked the hell out of me.

So, will we learn who's the informant? Will the rapist-killer be apprehended? What's happening to those actors not going on to MAJOR CRIMES? The suspense is killing me, I will be in Dublin on Aug 13 when the final episode airs. I'm hoping I can tape it, but - given the power problems in my apartment - I may return to find a blank tape. So, ifanyone is DVR-ing THE CLOSER episodes, I may need the final one!

I've been wishy-washy about buying this air conditioner, and I'm still waffling, mainly because of my incompetence with manual assembly. What happened to the old days of delivery crews and assembly?

TOD:

Sashimi is perhaps my favorite food. There is something clean and refreshing about slabs of the freshest fish that please me to no end.

I'm also a freak for well-made Thai food, whether it's a soothing soup with coconut milk and galangal root in it or a fiery green curry with bits of pork or shrimp swimming in the sauce. I made friends with people who ran a Thai restaurant in Port Charlotte, the town in Florida where I used to live. The food was so good that I, at times, ate there up to five days a week.

My favorite dish that Nancy, the chef, made was dessert: Thai donuts. These were small pillows of fried rice flour served scorching hot out of the fryer. They came with a dipping sauce flavored with vanilla, a touch of lemon and crushed peanuts. Boy, were they ever good.

Sorry, Matthew. I was getting your production of Legally Blonde mixed up with the column Peter Filichia wrote last week on "Legally Blonde, Jr."

Tuesday morning greetings!  Back to water aerobics this morning and then to a Middfest meeting this afternoon.  Somewhere in there I need to do some grocery shopping for myself - I gave up a long time ago trying to do my shopping while Mom does hers.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I'm doing laundry. Just one load, but still laundry quite the same. And once that load is washed and dried, I shall head down to the studio for today's bit of practicing.

And, thankfully, my brief session of Sweeney Todd auditions today is not until 1:00pm. Plenty of time for practice and coffee between now and then.

As for the Topic of the Day...


Thai: a well-prepared pad thai. -I found a place near my brother's house that serves a wonderful version. In fact, the chef and her recipe were featured on The Food Network's "Throwdown with Bobby Flay". She won. I also love a good massamun curry.

Japanese: Toro (fatty tuna). When it's fresh, man is it that some good $tuff. Cooked-wise, I like negimaki and a comforting bowl of udon noodles.

Dr Lizeth Anderson just left my apartment. It's a part of my health insurance's new program, sending a doctor to visit and interview patients, check up on how they're doing, make sure they're on their meds, etc. This morning my blood pressure, lungs and heart are good, she asked me some questions I need to ask my doctor next week when I go in for my appointment, and the whole thing lasted around 45 minutes.

I guess I will now head down to Toyland and unpack more cartons.

TOD - I don't think I've ever eaten Thai.  Most of the Japanese cooking I've eaten has been prepared in our home by visitors from Japan.  In the early '90s, we hosted 3 college students for 3 weeks each and they were encouraged to offer to cook for their host families.  The first one, Kaori, had obviously never set foot in the kitchen, but she tried.  Mayumi brought a lot of Japanese microwave dishes and my lasting memory is her shouting "Three minutes, Mom!" from the bus as they left.  Yukko was a very accomplished cook.

My favorite Japanese cook is my cousin Dan, who has lived in Japan for 25+ years.  He cooked a fabulous salmon dinner for us last year and here he is cooking shrimp at my stove:

Happy Tuesday! Not very original, I'm afraid.  But I'm here.  And it is Tuesday.  It'd be a lot more original if I said it on Thursday.

Got the proverbial second wind last night and, as I am the proverbial night person, stayed up till the proverbial all hours, and though I slept in till 9 this morning, I feel like the proverbial truck ran over me.
