What is a coronation chicken sandwich??

Based on a dish that was created for the current Queen's coronation, it was chicken salad made with what tasted to me like Thousand Island dressing.

My colleague Curtis told me he'd be in around 12:30, and it's now 2:00 with no sign of him. I'm going home.

Vixmom, judging chili in Texas is different from judging chili elsewhere. You have a definite set of rules, such as you cannot identify the meat by sight, so if you're mixing meats, they all need to be ground the same way, so the beef looks like the venison, pork or chicken.

NO beans. Ever.

It's called a bowl of red, so you are required to judge the redness of it and how well it works. Not Red Dye No. 2 red, but a natural, chili-induced red.

Many do not use tomatoes.

I can't remember the rest this morning.

That is interesting. No beans is very interesting. I use a lot of beans in mine. And tomatoes.

I like many types of chili. It's too varied a dish not to enjoy tasting different ones. I grew up eating my mother's which was similar to Wendy's in ingredients and consistency, and I really like that type. But there are so many variations you can get into, even within one type. It's pretty endless. I've never had chili in Texas, but I've had a couple of the type DR John G. is describing.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #67 on:** January 14, 2013, 11:42:44 AM »

And...OMG!

Guess what the UPS man just delivered! A package from the same DR John G.

Thank you so much! I'm sampling the edible portion right now. Very yummy. Thank you, thank you.

Oddly two of my favorite dresses from last night's Golden Globes are in colors that usually are not my favorite. Jessica Alba was wearing an orange/salmon/coral color dress with a mermaid bottom. And she had a really stunning long necklace. Also Jennifer Lawrence had a stunning red/orange Christian Dior. I also thought Sofia V from Modern Family looked unbelievable in a black sparkly gown.

I loved the sea foam blue color Jessica Chastain was wearing. But did not like the dress or her hair. Not sure about Lucy Lu. Apparently the floral dress was stunning in person.

We went to Westminster Abbey for Evensong, explored the neighborhood a bit, picked up some supper, and we're in for the evening. Tomorrow we're going to go an on/off bus tour and try to find the park that's the subject of the art print I gave Richard for Christmas. Our new friend, the Royal Chaplain, confirmed that the church in the painting is Grosvenor Chapel.

Dan the man, just picked up GEORGY GIRL in a disocunt bin at Half-Price Books...looking forward to it!

My newest British addiction isn't film, but a TV series: FOYLE'S WAR.

And speaking of movies, I saw GUILT TRIP this weekend and enjoyed it quite a lot. It was not anything I haven't seen before, but it made me laugh throughout and I was never bored.

Saw previews for plenty of interesting looking films coming out this spring, as well. And since there are currently about 6 or 7 movies playing now, I may be spending a lot of time at theatres this year.

BK, I have not seen The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, yet. But I will, I hope, soon. I know I would enjoy it.

On myway home, I stopped at a branch of my bank and deposited my City Center check, and when I got off the No 7 bus, I posted my estimated tax check at my local post office branch.

On my walk home, I passed my postman whose late arrivals every day have made me suspect for some time that he's been stopping somewhere for a tryst most days. After I passed him, I heard a lady greet him with, "Hey, sexy postman!" Hmmmm . . . .

Yes, MBarnum, that Howard Keel can be scary, but was he a triffid or was that Kathryn Grayson in an unbilled guest appearance?

Interesting interview with Barbra during the run of "I Can Get It for You Wholesale."

Howard did not speak kindly of that picture.

After a delicious lunch - fish & chips for Richard, coronation chicken sandwich for me - we checked into our fabulous corner room that's everything our room in Norwich was not. Richard is still not feeling great, so is napping until 3:30 and then we'll go out for a walk.

I have reason to suspect that I'm coming down with the class cold, too...

Vibes you aren't!
