Poor Nicky threw up tonight. I think it is from the heat.

TCB · « **Reply #4 on:** August 01, 2015, 01:04:43 AM »

He is now zonked out on my bed, so I guess he is feeling better

First in the actual morning! Am I up early, or are other people sleeping late today?

Great eye news from TCB!

TOD: Skip makes the VERY best gourmet mac-and-cheese. He bases it on a recipe from the book TWENTY by Michael Ruhlman. It uses a Soubise sauce, for those who follow cooking terms.

(As far as restaurants' mac-and-cheese, Schnipper's on 8th and 41st is quite good, especially when you mix it with some of their Sloppy Joe, which you can with a dish they call "Mac & Joe.")

Good morning, all.

A bit early for me to be arising on a Saturday, but hey.

Hi TCB just saw you question from last night. The new bed seems to be working out well, dad has been sleeping through the night and has not attempted to get out of bed. I was concerned the bed rails would upset him but it has it appeared to be a problem

Today I will finish the power washing of the deck. In a better world that would have been completed yesterday, but what with having to run down to the Home Depot for one thing and then another (new garden hose, etc. etc.) and other sundry things cropping up, it just didn't happen.

i can only imagine , does he ever serve it as a side along with his amazing fried chicken ?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #16 on:** August 01, 2015, 04:47:12 AM »

DR vixmom, I still need to explore that charming town. And actually eat something there at some point.

Damn!

I'm afraid the closest I'll get to that today will be these frozen Aunt Jemima blueberry waffles some idiot must have snuck into my cart at Shop Rite yesterday.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #18 on:** August 01, 2015, 04:51:37 AM »

I have no idea how those got home and into my freezer. Does anyone else know? Did one of you do that??

ChasSmith · « **Reply #19 on:** August 01, 2015, 04:52:47 AM »

Well, regardless, they must now be eaten so they don't harm anyone else.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #20 on:** August 01, 2015, 04:54:11 AM »

There also just happens to be some marvelous maple syrup in the cupboard. I'm not sure how that got there either.

Two macs and cheeses of note:

The down home version of my mother's that was one of the supreme comfort food highlights of my growing up life.

Years later, the first "gourmet" version a friend made with seven (can that be right?) cheeses that was to die for but thankfully I didn't. I've enjoyed many others since, but none has reached those heights.

Good morning, all! I slept late and here I am. When I woke I, was caught up in a Drama Book Shop dream about a faulty volume of slang terms.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 01, 2015, 06:12:15 AM »

I have no plans for today or tomorrow, absolutely none. I am thinking that tomorrow i will do laundry and possibly go to a movie.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #28 on:** August 01, 2015, 06:31:19 AM »

Good news, DR TCB!

I need more coffee and a trek to the corner bodega.

The Broadway production of GANTRY starred Robert shaw and Rita Moreno, and there was a later version starring Casey Biggs that played regionally. i have never seen the film no read the novel.
