Jane, I looked for chocolate mousse at the store today to check the ingredients, but there was none on the shelf. I believe this version uses heavy cream. It's incredibly rich.

No wonder it is so good.  I'm not really a big mousse eater though I never have trouble finding other foods that are bad for me.

Thanks, DR Jeanne! It's too quiet in the apartment without the TV noise.

I love the book cover.  Back to work.  i'm orchestrating a Cole Porter song for the hell of it.

TOD:

It's not the calories that do me in, it's the fat, sugar, and cholesterol. If I wasn't concerned with any of that, then

A big, green salad, using mesclum, romaine, or butter lettuce
Fettucini Alfredo
Homemade or other high-quality bread (Louise's Trattoria's will do nicely)
Chocolate mousse or ??

For me I don't want the consequences of getting sick after I eat.

Fettuccine Alfredo also came to mind.
Today I had a baked potato and I would have enjoyed lots of sour cream and chives on it.
Chocolate cake or something special like beignets, sour cream cheesecake.  Maybe a plate-full of apple fritters and other doughnuts.   Before dinner, a rich cream of mushroom soup and a fried something for an appetizer

Before dinner, no consequences, I would have several alcoholic beverages.  If cost doesn't matter, make one or two of them a 25 year glenlivet or dalwhinnie.

Still having trouble with Netflix delivery times. I thought it had improved--at least with returns--but arrivals are still late.

Are other Netflix DRs still having problems, too?

I spoke to one of the mail carriers about it the other day. She wasn't aware of the problem and she gets Netflix herself. She said she's been working 6 days/week. I imagine she hasn't had time to even sit down and watch anything.

We average 2 days each way.

Good evening!  We spent today in Grand Turk.  A small, but very attractive little island.  Tomorrow afternoon, we arrive in Puerto Rico.  I now have the cold and cough from Hell.

G'night!

In case anyone is interested: San Francisco Opera will be selling a DVD of its production of Show Boat this coming June.

Had a nice day.  Got some work done and some new things lined up.  This is a work week, no more appointments after today.  I'm hoping to dive in and really accomplish a lot of work in the next few days

Watched Candide tonight. Well sung, but some of the staging, courtesy Elmore's favorite, Lonny Price, is dated and not as funny as everyone seems to think it is. Still, the music soared. And that is what makes Candide special.

And from the sublime to the Lovett. Listening to a Lyle Lovett CD I picked up for a buck. Well worth the music investment.

I read that as  " I am not much of a mouse eater" and I thought "of course not, she's a vegetarian!"
