TOD: I'm quite fond of THE MOLLY MAQUIRES, released through our pal BK.

I used to love going to the Hollywood Bowl. Best bargain in LA. I've sat in the boxes, the terraces, and all over. But my favourite seats were always those in the nosebleed section way in the back, which used to cost about two-three bucks. We used to walk over to the bowl with a picnic basket. Have a great meal and a bottle of vino, sprawl out, and enjoy the night and the magnificent music. Saw Rosemary Clooney, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Mandy Patinkin, Barbara Cook, so many more great artists, both popular and classical. I also remember the time a coyote wandered up onto the stage. Another time, a crowd leaving the bowl were jammed pack in the underground tunnel below the freeway that led to the parking lots and exits. Someone started singing and the whole crowd picked it up spontaneously for a group sing-song, It's a Small World.

I never saw THE MOLLY MAGUIRES. Looks like one to ketchup on.

I'm awake. Feeling very unsettled today, and it's not about the show. I had some dealings with personnel at church yesterday which is think is weighing heavily on my mind today. Part of me is thinking I need to ask to have the name of my position changed from "Director" of Music Ministry to "Coordinator" of Music Ministry, because even with my direction, everyone seems to do whatever they want.

And that's all I'll say about that.

I know the feeling.

Question for the Foodies:

So, what's up with IKEA eggs? They are not the consistency of any eggs I have cooked.

IKEA sells eggs?!?!?

You mean they aren't eggs?

Did the Goldstein twins grab some extra "eggs" from the ball room?

In a strange(?) bit of coincidence(?), Serious Eats recently did a taste test of the food at IKEA...

Taste Test: (Almost) All of the IKEA Food

Laura · « **Reply #48 on:** September 03, 2012, 09:40:29 AM »

Nope. I mean the eggs that are part of the 99 cent cheap bastard breakfast. Very strange consistency.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #49 on:** September 03, 2012, 09:41:51 AM »

And...

I need to get ready for the rest of my Labor Day.

Laters...

Oh, yeah, those eggs. Those have always been "interesting". -I think they come out of a one or five gallon jug. Pour into a pan, bake, stir, bake some more. But for 99-cents...

Laura · « **Reply #51 on:** September 03, 2012, 09:43:17 AM »

Oh. And the pancakes taste like fish.

Laura · « **Reply #52 on:** September 03, 2012, 09:45:33 AM »

Are they baked or steamed or something? Is that what gives them that consistency? Or do they add a filler of some kind?

Ginny · « **Reply #53 on:** September 03, 2012, 09:46:27 AM »

Speaking of pancakes, there's an iHop commercial running here for their Red Velvet pancakes. The only way they could look more disgusting would be if they were blue or green

Laura · « **Reply #54 on:** September 03, 2012, 09:57:58 AM »

They sound gaggingly sweet.

Small world: I'm trying to track down the Helen and George Ford papers, which a guide to collections tell me are in the Doheny Library of USC in Los Angeles. They may contain missing music and scripts for DEAREST ENEMY, CHEE-CHEE, and PEGGY-ANN. So, I sent an email of inquiry to their music collections and to their theatre collections, and their Assistant Director sent me back this email: You are the Larry Moore who does post the most informative messages on CASTRECL?

I emailed him back that I didn't know how informative I was but that I was indeed the person in question. I have my fingers crossed this will lead to some discoveries.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #56 on:** September 03, 2012, 10:06:44 AM »

Wow. Very interesting response.

On the way to my one day a week job, I stopped for a southern fried chicken in a roll to take to the office for lunch. It was revolting! I threw it away after one bite. I'd had bacon and egg for breakfast so had to make do with that lasting me for the rest of the day.

I'm up after another good night's sleep - I'm just about back to normal.

Sleep-wise, that is.
