I always want to fall asleep when I get in bed - and I'm tired when I do - there's just so much going on in my head and so I'm thinking instead of sleeping.

Some days living in NYC is so neat: I got out of a taxi at 81st Street & Broadway and held the door for Phyllis Newman and her nurse/companion to get in. It was nice to see her. She said she couldn't take my hand since she'd just done her nails. Jungle Red, I believe!

NY doesn't seem so large the way New Yorker's tend to run into people they know.

Woohoo I got accepted for Touch and Go by Lisa Gardner.
Congratulations!

I purchased CATCH ME and will read it after I finish my current book and read a library book.

I've been getting rejected a lot lately for some ebooks I really want. But I had a good feeling about this one since I was accepted for CATCH ME.

The more you review books will that increase your chances of receiving more to review?

Our toilet is fixed and we have a new faucet on the kitchen sink.

Amazing how little things can make you happy.

Especially ones involving plumbing.

That's why I read until I fall asleep. My problem is I tend to wake up again, often with in minutes or a couple of hours.

I've stayed away from fettucine alfredo ever since I heard it described as a "heart attack on a plate." That doesn't mean I don't eat other food that's not good for me!

Toilet? What's this "toilet"? Oh -- you mean the TERLIT.

RIP Ruby.

I am very sorry to read that, Laura. Prayers of comfort for her friends and family.

Neither of you said where lunch was. Or did you?

Fettucine alfredo was one of my favorite dishes at Marie Callender's.

Jeanne · « **Reply #132 on:** November 28, 2012, 05:32:53 PM »

Chas, we were at Louise's. BK used to enjoy the one in Studio City, but that location has now closed.

Thanks for the big hug, Kerry. I got it and sent one back.

I was never late while traveling in Los Angeles. I would always leave 2 hours ahead of time. Would often arrive a few minutes early, even.

Next time I am renting a car with a GPS.

You have the right idea, Mike. I used to try to time my trips precisely, then realized that (1) Google maps is often wrong, and (2) I never know what I'll encounter. So now I allow extra time.

I used to lovvvve fettucine alfredo. I don't have it every often now. Louise's is quite good, but the best I ever had was in Quebec.

I'm enjoying the song, THIS CHRISTMAS, as well as the CD. I've always said that there just aren't enough Jewish Christmas songs.

I've made fettucine alfredo and it is fairly easy to make, yet difficult to make it superb. Adding all the cream needed to make it I realized we shouldn't be eating it.

Jane, I once asked for it in a restaurant made without the cheese, due to dietary issues. The cook thought I was nuts, but gave it a try. It wasn't bad, actually.

Jane · « **Reply #141 on:** November 28, 2012, 05:52:47 PM »

I could see it still might taste good. Did you have cheese in it today?

Jeanne · « **Reply #142 on:** November 28, 2012, 05:53:04 PM »

I've never compared the fat content to sausage or bacon or pastrami.

Jane · « **Reply #143 on:** November 28, 2012, 05:54:23 PM »

Since we didn't/don't eat that nor did I.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #144 on:** November 28, 2012, 05:55:08 PM »

As much as I loved it, it's such a rich dish that I eventually quit ordering it. That's quite a while ago, and I'd probably go for it on occasion now, though I really think it would work better in a "side dish" portion than as the main event.

Jane · « **Reply #145 on:** November 28, 2012, 05:55:33 PM »

The hotel in Cozumel we will be staying at for my niece's wedding has an Alfredo's. I'm not sure it is part of the original chain. I just might have to stop in for a small plate of fettuccine Alfredo, it they have it, and taste it.

Yes. Since I don't splurge often, when I splurge, I splurge. (No dessert, though.)

I agree it should really be a small side dish.

Pesto, too. I love pesto, but give me too large a serving and you'll be looking at it for a while.

Here is a recipe that doesn't use cream per se, but uses good butter. It's REALLY good

Ingredients:
1 lb. fresh fettuccine noodles
4 quarts boiling, salted water
1 cup unsalted Plugra butter, softened (Or use normal butter if you can’t find Plugra)
1/3 to 1/2 cup Parmesano Reggiano cheese, freshly grated

Steps:
1. Melt butter over very low heat. Go ahead and boil the pasta while the butter is melting.
2. Whisk in grated parmesan cheese; continue whisking over a low heat until the cheese melts and the butter/cheese sauce becomes a creamy consistency.
3. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and place in large pasta bowl; toss with sauce. Garnish with freshly cracked black pepper.
