DR Jose, that is interesting about basting. The recipe I was sort of following (and is new) mentioned basting often. So that's why I did it!

Then baste away!

Again, basting is not a bad thing. It just can get in the way sometimes, so to speak. Like I mentioned before, just make sure to do it as quickly as possible so you don't let so much heat out of the oven. I used to be very anal about basting - I had to make sure I drizzled or spooned the fat and pan juices over the entire surface of what I was cooking. Five minutes later after having the oven door open all the time... Not good. It's better to take the roast out of the oven, set it on the counter, close the over door, baste, then reverse.

Working in retail for many years (I try to forget) I found that if a clerk is rude, simply telling the clerk that he or she is acting rude will quickly remedy the situation...and cause great embarrassment for said clerk...I have seen it happen! (not to me, fortunately). When the customer is rude back it quite often compounds the situation and makes the clerk feel as though they were right in being rude.

Just my 2 cents worth.

I like the challenge of winning said rude clerk over until they are nice, not that I always have the patience to do so. When I get angry I just feel bad later so it doesn't do me any good.

Bruce thank you. We need to remember Echo enjoys drives in our motor car.

Thank you Abie for those vibes and cheerful little dogs.

DRLaura thank you too.

Jennifer I’m sorry DESPARATE HOUSEWIVES just looks so trashy to me. I don’t care for those kinds of shows. I guess I don’t watch it by principle, same goes for the reality shows even if one of them supports my cousin. And thanks for the doggie vibes.

The meat was not frozen beforehand. And no I didn't cover it with foil while it was out of the oven. Although it was only out for about 20-25 minutes.

Covering is will the better option, as it will keep the meat from losing it's heat. Normally, a roast is only left to rest for fifteen minutes, which lets the internal temp equalize. After that, it's all lost energy, which just has to be regained.

Quote

Okay, so question. What would you have done if you had started cooking a roast and then 3/4 through you find out that the person coming to eat it will be delayed by 1/2 hour.

Would you just cook it for the 1 1/2 hours, and then check it, and then turn the oven on "warm"?

Cooking and keeping warm would have been the better idea. Best, of course, is to have a shotgun handy, so that your guests get the message.

Thanks for the good health wishes, DR Jane. We could ALL use them.

Amazing that I forgot any of Leroy Anderson's symphonic pieces because I adore them. My favorites are "Sarabande" and "Belle of the Ball." "Sleigh Ride" is also a must for this time of year.

Another instrumental I enjoyed as a young teen was "Telstar" by the Ventures.

WFO that is pretty much what Echo sounds like, even if she was named for the Echo in Greek mythology and not for an echo. I guess it amounts to the same thing.

I’m impressed with your page 2 & 3 dances, and your patience in making said dances.

What is the difference between "prerogative" and "perogative"? Is there a difference. Are they both words? I ask because I cannot find "per" in my dictionary, but "pre" is there. Have I been wrong all my life?

Yup MATTH - "Telstar" - I remember when this communications satellite was launched, the first ever. I did not understand how it work or how it could send signals that I could use. Oh if only I had had the internet when I was growing up.

JRand, thanks.

Blackjack, roller and Jay, dear dog Echo and I appreciate your good vibes.

Jose, thank you.

Wow, all these wonderful good vibes. Echo is lying next to me waiting for Keith to return home and take her outside since it is too cold for me with my wet hair. He will also bring her new foods from the market to tempt her appetite. So far the turkey dogs are her favorite. I’m becoming an expert on microwaving them.

But don't you remember that episode of CHIPS were Ponch was investigating a freak, multi-car accident? After checking out all the possibibilities, they just couldn't explain why the car veered off the road. But then when they realized what time of day the accident occured, and where it occured... And then, thankfully, they took into account - at the last moment! - that the sun was rising at a different time then when the accident occured, they were able to reconstruct the accident properly... Which allowed them to determine that the culprit was black ice and not driver error? It was an accident plain and simple. Most importantly, they prevented an innocent man from going to jail.

...Well, I remembered it..

$:-\$

Hmmm...

Maybe it's time for me to go for my walk...

Well, I have some bad news for you.. It's always been "prerogative" even though it's pronounced like "perogative" most of the time.

It's just like "alright" is "all wrong". It should be "all right". Although, the kidz today use "aaight" or "aait".

Words, words, words....

"PRE-rogative" is the correct spelling of the word, but "per-rogative" is the common pronunciation of the word. Like pronouncing FEB-ROO-ary as opposed to FEB-YOU-ary...noo-clee-yer vs. nuke-you-ler.

It's all personal preference.

Silly me! I forgot one of my favorite instrumentalists, whose first record was a big enough hit (even without airplay) during my college days:

Tubular Bells, by Mike Oldfield.

When Steve and I went to Disneyworld a few years ago, there was this band that was playing in Epcot, and the main instrument was a carillon! The first mobile carillon in the world. Amazing sound! And, of course, one of the tunes they played was "Tubular Bells".

Here's their website:

DR Jose, yeah, I always close the oven while basting.

DR Jane, I don't think you should lump all shows of a certain kind together. For instance The Amazing Race is not typical reality tv.

As for Desperate Housewives, I don't find it trashy at all. And I actually don't find it that similar to most of the night-time soaps of the past. It's very funny, witty and charming. I suppose it might be hard to figure things out if you were to tune in now. But it never hurts to at least watch something once to be sure it's not your cup of tea.

Btw, I got this email today for merchandise for DH and LOST: http://www.abc.com/email/abcstore/holiday04
