Vegetables I have grown (older) to love:

Eggplant (in parmigiana or baba ganoush or moussaka)
Spinach
Brussels sprouts (basically little cabbages, although I'm not a fan of full-sized cabbage)
Most lettuces
Bok choy
Napa cabbage
Carrots
Potatoes
Tomatoes
Broccoli
Anasazi beans
Indian beans
Olives (prefer green with the pimento)
Bell peppers (other than green, that's the most difficult to digest)
Corn (in small amounts since most gluten-free stuff has varying amounts of corn, so I don't want to overdo corn; my Native-American friends advise not to eat too much corn as most of it is GMO and its high sugar content can lead to dental problems)
Beets
Chives
Onions (cooked)
Shallots
Okra (not that great to look at, but I've grown to appreciate it)
Celery
Parsley/cilantro/any of that frizzy stuff that winds up as "garnish" (it all is very high in Vitamin C)

I'm sure I've forgotten some things I like. But I like a lot more vegetables now than I did as a kid. I appreciate the nourishment vegetables provide, providing they have not been genetically modified. GMO vegetables literally have no taste.

I am sure no one has seen this weird Australian film, CAPTAIN INVINCIBLE, that starred Alan Arkin (great in a bad movie) and Christopher Lee (as the bad guy, of course). It's a musical, and Arkin and Lee sing a duet (sort of):

Christopher Lee is the King on this complete recording. It could have been so much better since the cast and conductor are good, but i find it just a bit tepid. In its defense, I thought the Tony clip of the new production, which didn't impress me, makes this recording look even better.

Thank you DR elmore! I will try to obtain a copy sometime soon after my surgery next week.

I forgot that Christopher Lee is Sitting Bull on the TER complete recording of the 1966 Lincoln Center revisal of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN. I like this recording quite a bit, but i think Barry Bostwick is a poor choice for Frank.

Thanks! It's one of my favorite musicals.

I always regret that I could not make it to see Christopher Lee when his book was released and he made a book signing appearance at the Barnes & Noble @ Union Square (which was one of my hangouts).

Thank God the mercury retrograde is over! I think my surgery will be during a clear period.

Not Kritzerland, but another soundtrack label vastly overuses exclamation points in their CD release blurbs. This is not a criticism of the actual CDs, but an observation of punctuation abuse. A clew: rhymes with the movement Picasso was a part of prior to Cubism. Another: somewhat reminiscent of the one and only Iron Butterfly song.

Back from delivering a lovely bouquet of daisies in a bubble bowl to Karen and getting the full story of her mishap. She was walking to her car outside her new apartment with her arms full and fell against the headlight of her car. That shattered her left knee and, when she tried to get up, she fell again and broke her right arm. She had surgery on both last night and is looking at 6 weeks recovery, at least.

She's left-handed, which is about the only bright spot in an otherwise pretty grim situation.

I tried to make a joke here about Fun Home, but it didn't quite come together. In a way that made any sense.

I hope you didn't, DR Ginny. But if you did - well, it's temporary.

Ginny · « **Reply #72 on:** June 11, 2015, 02:41:12 PM »

Yeah, there's that, DR Singdaw. I'll call the dentist's office first thing tomorrow, but there's probably not much they can do about it. Fortunately, it doesn't hurt - yet.

In case anyone's wondering, here is what daisies look like in a bubble bowl. Someone sent me some when I was hospitalized with a blood clot 7 years ago and I remembered how cheerful they looked up on the shelf. Karen's do, too!

Wow! All three lived pretty full lives: Moody, 91; Lee, 93; and, Coleman, 85. They've all left some great legacies and memories.

Does anyone know if this is a good listen?

Good Lord, the things still going on here. Vibes to everyone!

Me, I'm about to leave for a dress rehearsal of an outdoor venue ONCE UPON A MATTRESS. Sitting in on this one, then attending a performance next week.

(They had asked me to piano/conduct, but I just needed some time out.)

Well, time for me to leave work. Theater Artists Olympia is having our $5 Preview for our latest production, Tartuffe! I'm not directly involved, but I'll be house manager tonight (basically, selling tickets and concessions) and a couple of other nights. I don't really know anything about the show, other than it's completely rhymed. I'm sure it'll be good!

Be back later!

Oh my DR GINNY how terrible. Recovery vibes for Karen.

Vibes for Karen and for you. I dislike dental problems the worst, even considering everything I've been through from lymphoma.
