I was asleep by 11:00 last night, and awake at 4:00.  Fortunately I did fall back to sleep around 5:00 and got in another hour of sleep.

On Castrecl, one of the listers included Roberta, And the World Goes Round and Sandy's album among the year's standouts. Nice to see the love being spread around to the right areas.

That was Darrel Karl, who's from DC. His website, Keeping Score, is here:

DR Danise, I'm sorry I wasn't here when you popped in.

  I'm still here!  Hello, DR Jane!!!!

[Danise]

Just took my first taste of dinner.  I am very nicely surprised that it is very yummy!  The changes I made must have done the trick.

[vixmom]

Thank you all for the welcome back greetings! 

I have to confess that I don't care much for Sauerkraut but I do this more in memory and respect to my upbringing.

Kinda like Good Friday.  You know that normally I won't touch fish but I do on that one day because my Mom asked me to. 

I would add some caraway seed as well while it cooks and then mix in a generous spoonful of sour cream before I ate it 

Delicious

[vixmom]

Good morning and a very Happy New Year to all! 

Pork ribs (country style so no bones) and Sauerkraut are in the slow cooker for my family traditional first meal of the year.  I'll make mashed potatoes and bread rolls as well. 

I did modify the recipe somewhat--I cut and added a green apple, an onion, some brown sugar and a quarter cup of beer to the Sauerkraut.

Do you know how hard it is to find a single can of beer to buy?  I have to pour the rest of it down the drain since I won't drink it.  I don't mind cooking with wine and other spirits but I can't stand the taste by itself.  Yuck.

Anyway, we will give it a try and see what we get.

What is everyone else having for their First meal?

Two days in a row with DR Danise!!  How good is that?

I hope  we will have another  364 days of Danise before the year is out!!!

Danise  neither the Vixter nor Vixdad will touch sauerkraut or anything tta has touched sauerkraut  but I think yoiur meal  sounds delicious

I'm hankering for some of that myself. I'm making cole slaw, and Bonnie is whipping up colcannon with bangers. Close, but not quite the same.

I should put on my glasses. I read that as "badgers."

Don't be silly,  badgers are the traditional second meal of the new year

Yay for all the HHW listees.  And HHW, Kritzerland and their relatives were especially well-represented in his "Notable Studio or Concert Cast Albums" category:

Notable Studio or Concert Cast Albums:
And The World Goes Round (Kritzerland), Herringbone (Yellow Sound), Meet John Doe (Broadway Records), One Touch Of Venus (JAY), Roberta (New World)

Congratulations all!!

[vixmom]

and belated congratulations to BK on all your awards!!

[vixmom]

Potato chips and onion soup dip for breakfast.  How weird is that?

sounds good to me!!

[vixmom]

Today is Thursday?

yes, but only until midnight

[vixmom]

From DR Vixmom:

I suspect that the loaded sweet potato  I ate this evening had more calories than Jane eats all week

I wish that was true.

I think the calorie count for the loaded sweet potato (marshmallows, caramel sauce, butter, cinnamon and brown sugar) is somewhere in the trillions

I'm up, I'm up.  Took forever to fall asleep, but I slept till eleven so I may have gotten eight hours.  When I got up, the house was 59 degrees.  I find it difficult to keep the heat on all night (and costly) and I'm not sure how the house can drop from 73-degrees when I go to sleep to 59 that quickly - then it takes a good hour or more to get it back to 73.  It's currently 60 and the heat's been on for thirty minutes.

[bk]

elmore, when I click on Darrel's link and I enter his site it's a blank page.  Did he have this stuff on the site or just on castrec-l and if the latter can someone post it here or send it to me?

[bk]

And now I must write.

[Laura]

Well, as excited as she was last night about seeing snow for the first time, she hasn't shown up. It's getting kinda late to get started out of town if she shows up now.

[Jane]

And:




I like how you did the time changes, especially since I slept through it.

[Jane]

2015, can you believe it.  In Back to the Future II, 2015 is where they go.

Thank goodness I won't have to correct all the facebook hoaxes this year.

[Jane]

But before I go...



Fun!

[Jane]

Have a………...

This is lovely.

Re: THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE

Back when Maggie Smith won the Oscar for this film, there was a story circulating that the movie's producer, Robert Fryer, financed an independent advertising/publicity campaign in the trades to win an Academy nomination for Maggie.

When she got the nomination, the people at Fox were furious.  The studio head (Richard Zanuck?) called Fryer into his office and berated him for costing Barbra Streisand an Oscar nomination for HELLO, DOLLY!

Somehow I think Maggie would have won anyway.

I am sorry that I disappeared last evening before midnight.  My laptop died on me, and I couldn't figure out what happened.  It turns out that it had become unplugged from the wall, and had been running off of its battery until that ran out too.  Whoops!

You must have been very relieved when you realized the reason it died on you.

I know.  It is a perfect way to begin our new year at HHW.

I'm going to try to be here every day from now on.  It's just a thing of mine that when I'm troubled, I go quiet.

Which is why we worry more when you are gone.

[Jane]

DR Danise, I'm sorry I wasn't here when you popped in.

  I'm still here!  Hello, DR Jane!!!!

Hi DR Danise.  We went for a walk.

[Jane]

Wishing everyone a wonderful year filled with good health!

[TCB]

Ginny, I am stunned!

Relieved would be an understatement.

One more.
