I'm off to Los Angeles (i.e. Burbank) today and Monsterpalooza.

You didn't stay home long.  Enjoy your travels.

Interesting!  According to the latest poll numbers; it looks like not only will gay men and lesbian women be allowed to marry in Washington State, but they may also be able to smoke pot at the reception.

In other news, a popular Indian comedian was killed in an auto accident yesterday. Punjabi language cinema favorite Jaspal Bhatti died in the wreck when the car he was riding in hit a tree.

Very sad. He was a very, very funny guy, and I imagine the film's opening will be rather bittersweet. I do hope the injured performers make a full recovery.


My condolences to his family & many fans.

VIBES FOR FULL RECOVERIES!!

I used to serve it at my annual radish party, aka Noche de los Rabanos, on Dec. 23.


What else would you serve at Noche de los Rabanos?

Good morning.  I've been to Costco and back hoping to get new tires, and it turns out they don't carry my size so I had to order them (and pay for them).  They should be here in a few days.

Tomorrow, the DP and I are heading up to Lake Tahoe for the weekend.  We are seeing Leon Russell in concert.  I, of course, have heard of him, but the DP has not and so far is not impressed.  I heard it's a good show.  I'll definitely report back. 

Today I'm meeting with the lyricist on the musical that he has written and I'll play 2 songs for him that I set to music in the last few weeks.  Hopefully it will go well and we can continue the process.  He has written lyrics for 18 songs in this musical, which I'm thinking will be more of a "song cycle".  We shall see....

I hope you and your DP have a good trip together!

About five radish dishes, then stuff for the poeple who don't like radishes. But many of the guests tried to outdo each other with the inventive radish dishes they would come up with. Terrines, Indian-style curries with lamb, lentils and radishes, you name it. I once braised short ribs in a mix of celery, onion and radishes with a touch of garlic.

DR Laura, a facbook friend posted this photo and asked "Why do hotel meeting rooms have the ugliest carpet?".  I of course thought of you. ;)

I am FB friends with my old Theatre Arts teacher from High School. It has been such fun catching up with her, and she is thrilled to hear from past students, including many who were in her classes and plays at the same time I was...which would account for the majority of my High School friends.


No doubt many of my other high school teachers are on Facebook, but can't think of many I would care all that much to catch up with...grade school, yes...but most of those teachers are probably long gone.

I am Facebook friends with one of my favorite college drama professors, who now lives in Oregon.  He is married to my college sweetheart.  My other favorite professors have all passed away.

It sure is.  My friend who was hit hard by Irene just last week completed the last of her repairs and got her bathroom fixed. 

Following is a portion of the warning she received today:

This storm is very serious, and although there is time for things to change it is important to know that this storm will likely be larger then Irene is size, more powerful then Irene and move slower then Irene, it is a completely different monster and should not be taken lightly.

Cool!  Too bad I don't smoke. ::)

...or want to marry a lesbian.

I tried a friend's recipe for a wild rice casserole.  Mine didn't come out all fluffy likes his.  Either I don't begin with the best rice, I did something wrong, or I'm missing his secret ingredient of bacon.

The rice tastes fine it just isn't as fluffy as I like it.  I put what I'm not eating back in the oven to cook a little longer.

I don't think that it's the bacon that makes rice fluffy.  You probably just need to experiment a few more times...especially if it tastes fine.

Yes, but it adds extra liquid.  I sauteed onions & celery in butter.  I think I need more water & less butter.  When returned for seconds, and thirds, each time it was somewhat fluffier. :)
