Tres charmant. Good moving vibes to you, DR Panni.

Not only does it come with appliances, Jane - but they're brand new. I'll see if I can post a pic of the kitchen.

Elmore-Benadryl PM. Not to be personal, but guys shouldn’t take antihistamines if it bothers their prostate.

DRJane, I don't know if it's bothering my prostate!

DRPanni, lovely home! Is there a guestroom?

RE: "Something/Someone in a Tree" Obviously, my fault for trying to post too hurriedly and not proofing carefully what I was writing. I had also typed "Pretty Woman" instead of "Pretty Lady," but I caught that one.

I, too, read that Cary Grant was offered THE MUSIC MAN first and also MY FAIR LADY, and he turned both down because he had seen the originators of the roles in those musicals on the stage and knew no one should play it but them.

Well, I watched the outtakes and the documentary on the men/women behind the scenes of the MGM musical on the 4th THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT disc.

The outtakes contained three numbers I hadn't seen before: Jimmy Durante from THIS TIME FOR KEEPS, Grayson and Lanza from THAT MIDNIGHT KISS, and Mel Torme from THE DUCHESS OF IDAHO.

And I was pleased that Warners rectified their glaring omission of "Last Night When We Were Young" from the IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME DVD.

But why repeat "An Easier Way" and "My Intitution" from the GOOD NEWS and HARVEY GIRLS sets when there were other numbers, like the cut numbers from BRIGADOON, which weren't included on the DVD release?

When does Warners intend to issue those or the many other numbers they have? I think I read an interview with George Feltenstein in which he said there were about 50 outtake numbers they had saved from being destroyed. Don't be so stingy with them, Warners!

There's always a guestroom for you, DR Elmore!

A little house tour...
Even the garage is pretty:

Panni · « **Reply #99 on:** October 14, 2004, 01:37:39 PM »

Here is part of the very bright kitchen...

Panni · « **Reply #100 on:** October 14, 2004, 01:39:31 PM »

Part of the backyard - which will also have rose bushes!

Panni · « **Reply #101 on:** October 14, 2004, 01:40:41 PM »

A bit of the living room...

Panni · « **Reply #102 on:** October 14, 2004, 01:43:00 PM »

I'll do more next time I'm at the house. The woman who owns the place (and remodeled it) is very very nice.

Matt H. · « **Reply #103 on:** October 14, 2004, 01:46:49 PM »

Looks like you're going to have considerably more room, DR Panni! Congratulations!

Dan-in-Toronto · « **Reply #104 on:** October 14, 2004, 01:48:10 PM »

The house looks extremely inviting, DR Panni. And no, that is not a hint.

Panni · « **Reply #105 on:** October 14, 2004, 01:48:10 PM »

Thank you, Matt!

Panni · « **Reply #106 on:** October 14, 2004, 01:53:26 PM »

You don't have to hint, DIT. Come ON down!

I love a really good chili, that fantastic bowl of red.

Good chunks of beef chuck, braised in the broth with chiles and onions and other good stuff (beans on the side, please, and no tomatoes except as a garnish).

Vegetarian chili is an oxymoron.

Chili made with ground beef is a different dish that originates from the Depression. Not the same thing as real chili at all.

Cincinatti style chili is...well, interesting.

I loves me my meat! A really good piece of b-b-q brisket done Texas style is great. Dr. Hogly-Wogly's tyler, Texas B-B-Q right out in the San Fernando Valley on Sepulveda is the best!

A great steak is always a joy and thing of beauty. The Lovely Wife can do a mean one...all nicely marianded to perfection. Harlan Ellison always introduces her as the woman who cooked the best steak he ever ate. Of course, he also put ketchup on it!

Woody Cincinnati style is...sublime! Especially if it i slathered on a hotdog with a little mustard, onions, and heaped with grated cheddar. It's also sublime when dumped atop spaghetti, also with onions and mountains of grated cheese. It's always my first stop when back in the Cincy area. Dixie Chili in Newport, Kentucky, just the other side of Ohio from Cincy is the best!

I would have liked to have seen Lucille Ball as Mrs. Iselin, though.

I've always wondered if Lucille fought as hard as she did to do "Mame" to get back at Angela Lansbury for being cast as Mrs. Iselin over Lucille. One never knows...do one? (an Ain't Misbehavin' reference.)

That is certainly a terrific theory!

(I had not known the Lucy/MANCHURIAN info prior to today (you always learn SOMEthing at HHW! Now that I do, I would heartily subscribe to your theory, DR George.)

After today's meaty posts, I'm preparing tonight's dinner: a big, fat Greek salad.

bk · « **Reply #113 on:** October 14, 2004, 03:16:29 PM »

I may have to have MEAT tonight at the Wechter dinner, which apparently is on.

I haven't been to Hoggly-Woggly's since I lived in that neighborhood in the early seventies. It is great, though. I love steak, too, but unless it's seasoned well (as I do it, or like Ruth's Chris, where it's dripping in butter) I'm afraid I use ketchup, too. I love ketchup, actually, and feel no compunction about using it when I have steak that is not seasoned. Those who've read the Kritzer books know that my father also loved ketchup on steak and felt that his patrons did, too (in his pricey steak house restaurant) - so he simply had his chef create a "steak sauce" that was basically ketchup with some seasonings, and he served it in a nice dish at the table. Everyone used it.

All this talk about meat makes me want some good meat for dinner. However, always being on the run at the dinner time, it's hard to find anything that's good in the meat department!

I also like ketchup on my steak.

DR Panni congrats on the new house. But I'm confused. I was sending my vibes for one house, and then you said you were getting another! So was this your decision or did something go wrong?

Btw, speaking of pizzas, I'm not eating pizza right now. But my favorite pizza is on sale this week. And they were OUT again. Another raincheck. This pizza is SO GOOD that they are always out whenever it goes on sale.

It's by McCain's International and it's called Parisienne pizza. It is thin crust, with chicken and a creamy white sauce. OMG this is the BEST store bought pizza I've ever had. And I cannot figure out if they are not getting it in, or if they are selling out.

When I went for my raincheck another guy who was buying Greek pizza (really not as good) asked for a raincheck too when he heard me asking for mine. He said he loves Parisienne too!

Well - I liked the ending even more now, MR BK.

Oh I think Lucillle's reaction to being offered the part was to turn it down. She thought about it - but she was starting a new series (The Lucy Show) and was very concerned about her "image" and so took a pass.

She was even ready to pass on MAME when she broke her leg, but Warner Bros held up production for a year until she could heal and do the part.

Are the Cheney's insane? Kerry said nothing derogatory about their lesbian daughter. It's common knowledge or should be. Edwards mentioned Cheney's daughter in his debate with Cheney and it didn't cause any uproar. In fact, if I remember rightly Cheney thanked Edwards for the kind words.

Lynne Cheney looks ridiculous coming out and saying: "This is bad man" repeatedly. More of this simplistic and simple-minded demonization of the other side over nothing. The Cheneys' remarks make them look ashamed and embarrassed about their daughter. What is the big deal here? "Oh my god, he mentioned our lesbian daughter. How dare he!" Puhleeeze! you hypocritical shits.

I was back at the house and took a few more pictures. Tell me if you get bored. (Not that I'll hear you.) And no, DR Jennifer. something went right. It's a long story.
I took this pic just because it looks pretty. I don't know what the term is - there is a window-like opening in the wall of the front porch...
