First of all, I don't think I preheated the oven long enough.

I thought the green ready light had come on, but seeing it come on later, I think I was wrong.

The other problem was that the timer dial is not very accurate.

TCB · « **Reply #124 on:** February 09, 2015, 10:07:54 PM »

The timer goes up to 120 minutes, but the first time signature is 20 minutes, which makes it tough when you only want to cook something for ten minutes.

Of course, it would have been worse if I had tried cooking less than a pound of chicken, because then I would need to figure out nine minutes.

Anyway, my first try was a bust. I cut into one of the breasts, and the whole center was raw.

There were no instructions on how to pressure cook half-cooked chicken; so I just set the oven for regular cooking and baked them another twenty minutes.

I am not going to blame the oven just yet, I think it was my screw up.

TCB · « **Reply #129 on:** February 09, 2015, 10:12:51 PM »

The chicken was really good once it was cooked.

TCB · « **Reply #130 on:** February 09, 2015, 10:13:20 PM »

I think I will try a roast next.

TCB · « **Reply #131 on:** February 09, 2015, 10:14:32 PM »

I want to try cooking the 10 pound turkey in 45 minutes, but I think I need to master the oven first, before I try one of those.

And that was it for my exciting day.

TCB · « **Reply #133 on:** February 09, 2015, 10:15:59 PM »

Jeanne, don't judge the oven by my first aborted attempt.

Good grief, if we didn't have enough trouble with the measles outbreak, but now we have a mumps outbreak to go with it.

I am all for giving parents the freedom of choice, but if they don't want to give their kids the shots, then they should home school the children so that they don't infect the rest of the kids.

Some of the foster parents in this state are protesting the fact that the state requires all members of a foster family must be immunized in order to have children placed with them.

TCB · « **Reply #137 on:** February 09, 2015, 10:22:20 PM »

Give me a break! We are paying these people to care for these foster children and to keep them safe. How can they keep the children safe, if the family hasn't had their vaccinations?

Sorry if anyone disagrees with me, but it is my podium tonight since no one else is here to debate the issue.

TCB · « **Reply #139 on:** February 09, 2015, 10:24:20 PM »

And, of course, tomorrow I will deny that I wrote those posts!

I hope that BK had a successful night at the awards tonight. He is certainly the hardest working man in show biz.

TCB · « **Reply #141 on:** February 09, 2015, 10:26:09 PM »

And on that note (b flat), I will sign off for the night.

Congrats to Skip and Fred on their new baby!

G'night!

Well, I must go now. I'm going to audition for Olympia Little Theatre's production of Laughing Stock. I've never acted for them. I've only done tech. This was the play reading that I was asked to be a part of back in December. Hopefully, I'll get cast.

Until later!

Well, the audition went well. There were more people than the director expected, so first he had anyone who wanted to read a scene to pair up and read the scenes (all the scenes only had two people and were probably just a half to a full page in length...and they used a large font).

George · « **Reply #145 on:** February 10, 2015, 12:05:37 AM »

I read one randomly-given-to-me scene with a friend, so that was good. And the part that I read just happened to be for the character that I am interested in!

George · « **Reply #146 on:** February 10, 2015, 12:05:54 AM »

All the scene auditions were done one at a time, up in the upstairs of the theater's storage building, so no one watched the others.

George · « **Reply #147 on:** February 10, 2015, 12:06:12 AM »

After all the scenes were done, the director had everyone gather together and watch all the monologues. It was all fun and no one embarrassed themselves.

George · « **Reply #148 on:** February 10, 2015, 12:07:01 AM »

I was the second to go and I think I read fairly well. After I finished (and everyone seemed to really like the monologue), the director said that that monologue was his favorite in the whole play. I wasn't the only one who read that scene, but I wanted to be the first so that I could get it out of the way.

George · « **Reply #149 on:** February 10, 2015, 12:07:08 AM »

Anyway, everyone went and we all enjoyed the different interpretations of the few monologues that were available to be read.
