PAGE SEVEN DANCE!!

I need different reading glasses for my nook. They actually worked better, with the new contacts, at the computer.

And on that note (A#), I've got to go for the night.

George · « **Reply #183 on:** February 06, 2016, 09:13:42 PM »

I just noticed that I forgot to charge my tablet battery (dopey me!) and the power is almost gone. I didn't think to bring my charging cable, either.

So, have a good rest of the evening, everyone!

Tonight, I am attending a neighborhood paella party.

I don't know what all is involved, but I am thinking perhaps there will be paella.

The restaurant we ate at last night does not have a great vegetarian menu. They offer a vegetarian version of paella I have been tempted to order, except I don't think I like paella even without the fish. Isn't it also spicy?

I don't recall ever eating anything in Spain that was spicy during the months that I lived and vacationed there. Of course, that wouldn't prevent an American chef from putting his or her own mark on anything in the form of spice. I have had paellas here in Texas made with chiles of various kinds. But it's the way we eat here.

Has anyone been watching War and Peace? We can get it On Demand (a luxury we could not get living in the country).

I want to. Loved the book and the Russian version that Bonderchuk directed. I even sort of liked the BBC version, which seemed to have been filmed on a 50 cent budget. (I think that was the first time I had ever noticed how cheap a production was.)

Today I saw something advertised as "vegan leather." Does that mean a leatherette? I don't think I've ever heard the term "vegan leather" before.
its made from bean sprouts

that last comment was made from malarky

one of my favorite ingredients

Well, I was wrong about the lineup for the concert tonight. There was Bernstein, but it was his score for On the Waterfront and the Chichester Psalms, sung by a choir of more than 100. The Piazzola piece was his concerto for bandeon, a type of accordion, and the soloist was astounding. The whole piece was something else. Really enjoyed hearing it and another piece that was new to me, Danzon No. 2 by a Mexican-American composer named Marquez. Will have to look for more work by him.

And with that, I will say good night.

Maybe I will give it a try and it was the fish flavor/smell I didn't like.

Most of the reviews call it pretty, as in Downton pretty, more than good.

Good evening. We just got home from seeing Jason Graae and friends in a Jerry Herman concert downtown. My daughter and I went with Kerry and his date.

Who were the "friends" in the concert?

Laura · « **Reply #195 on:** February 06, 2016, 10:58:02 PM »

Klea Blackhurst, Scott Coulter, Debbie Gravitte, Ron Raines, and John Boswell.

bk · « **Reply #196 on:** February 06, 2016, 11:06:12 PM »

That's a lot of rather good friends.

Don't ask me.

I just don't know.

How can I answer if I just don't know?

I know that I can't answer if I just don't know.

I can answer if I just don't know but the answer may be incorrect because I just don't know.

This is what they call babbling.

In case that wasn't obvious.

What's obvious is that it was my carefully plotted ploy to take us over 200 postings.

I can't wait to see that, but I won't be able to until their final week because "CMT" has the same performance dates and times, except they're offset by a week. So when we close, I'll get to see "On the Verge."

My friend, Dana, is in the show.

She was at my show last night.
