DR Jane, you mentioned last night you won't watch DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. Is that by principle or have you watched it (and didn't like it)?

I met a boy named Frank Mills on September 12th, right here in front of the Waverly. But unfortunately I lost his address.

If I see him, I'll tell him you're in the park with your girlfriend, and that Angela and you don't want the two dollars back, just him.

And I don't have an oven thermometer. Is that something I need?

Yes, you need an oven thermometer. An instant-read thermometer works best. Just remember not to insert it so it touches the bone, or it will give a false reading.

The internal temp of meat is the best way to check for doneness. Time is just one factor for getting there.

What kinds of food would I use the oven thermometer for? I've never used one. And like I said, I rarely cook roasts.

I always enjoyed the overture to Tommy, by The Who.

I don't enjoy much in that score, have never seen the musical, but remember when this overture was just another top 40 hit. I used to play it on the piano.

What a wonderful TOD. Pop/Rock instrumentals are my favorite musical pleasures! And I could fill pages and pages with the titles of my favorites, but here are some that come to mind right now:

Classical Gas by Mason Williams

Theme to A Summer Place by Percy Faith

Poor People of Paris by Les Baxter

Quiet Village by Les Baxter

The Happy Organ by Dave "Baby" Cortez

Grazing in the Grass by Hugh Masekela

Hustle by Van McCoy

Baby Elephant Walk by Herb Alpert and the Tijusana Brass

It's hard to believe Generation F'd opens on Sunday. Will we be ready? Will any of my songs be cut? Will the piano be in tune? What tremendous changes will be wrought between the shows on the 5th and the 13th? The fun part's over - and by that I mean the experimentation, the improvisations, the explorations of doing things every which way, and the writing. Sunday's going to be a mighty long day: our first time in the space (Barrow), all the teching, a run-through or two, and the two shows.

Generation F'dDecember 5 & 13
7pm & 9pm
Barrow Group Studio
312 West 36th Street - 3rd Floor Theatre
Admission: $10
Reservations - 212 691 0011 or KNSecondCity@aol.com

Then, Wednesday the 8th at 8:30, the improvised-before-your-very-eyes musical revue, And Then He Wrote - Songs of Squeaky Klein plays at the 78th Street Theatre Lab (just East of Broadway, over Stand-Up New York) in which our first-ever "advanced class" in song improv gets to strut its stuff. I think we're cutting the barbershop quartet. Safe to say you've never seen anything like it.

I liked "Last Date" by Floyd Cramer and the aforementioned "Strangers on the Shore." I also like "Calcutta' by Lawrence Welk. Yep, anything by Tijuana Brass was aces (especially "A Taste of Honey") and going back before my time but enjoyed by me to this day, anything by Glenn Miller.

The adult cast of NUNCRACKERS made the front page of the enertainment section in last Friday's newspaper. I'll scan the cover later today. It's a nice picture even if we aren't in costume.

Oh, yes, "Quiet Village" was such a strange and moody instrumental piece. Thanks for reminding me, DR MBarnum!

Hmmmm...Gerry Roslund of New York City, New York is not the Gerry Roslund who co-starred in WILD WOMEN OF WONGO. But, he was quite interested in the fact that someone else had his same name.

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.

Wow! I come back to my office after a meeting and what do I find on my desk but two mysterious packages. One contains my DeepDiscountDVD order (can't wait to watch New York In the Fifties!) The other is my sparkling prize from BK for the trivia contest--Astrud Gilberto's Windy CD! The cover art is very striking. I'll be playing this one this afternoon. Thanks very much, BK!

Thanks for the congrats, DRs George, Tom and Stuart.

Danise - Re chestnuts and salt. IMHO, chestnuts don't need salt. In Europe (Hungary, anyway) nobody puts salt on chestnuts. But forget Europe - who needs them foreign types? - when you buy a bag of roast chestnuts on the street in NY or anywhere else in the good old US of A that they have the good sense to sell them, they aren't salted. Try them without salt and see what you think.

It's beautiful and sunny this morning in the City of Studio. But quite crisp. I wore a toque, scarf and gloves for my early morning walk. And I slipped on a patch of black ice!

Now I shall cleanse my aching bones (from my other slip last night - I was carrying a new piece of furniture upstairs and lost my balance -- didn't fall, which was next to miraculous -- but dinged the furniture and dinged me), have some coffee and get to writing.

Jennifer, you really should get yourself an instant-read thermometer. Even for things like chicken breasts or any other non-roast meats. You could potential become very very sick if you eat undercooked pork or chicken and the thermometer is the best way to find out when something is good to serve.

The picture from TCB yesterday certainly answers the question asked by Miss Elaine Stritch, does it not?

Good echo V I B E S!!!!

Congrats on the gig, DRPANNI! Write in a part for yourself and hang around the set!

Instrumentals....hmmmmmmmmmm......many of my favorites have of course, been mentioned, but:

Theme from A Summer Place
Swingin' Safari by Billy Vaughn - in fact MOST of Billy Vaughn
Alley Cat - with BAD memories attached
Theme from Star Wars - Disco Version by Meco

I know I will think of others as the day goes on.

Your Allison Hayes picture of the week! A Warner Bros publicity photo for STEEL JUNGLE - she doesn't wear the outfit in the movie or have a scene where she does this.....but dig those crazy earbobs!

This is the first picture I bought of her - it cost me 50 cents and took forever to arrive in the mail from Hollywood, California in 1964!

Here's the publicity shot for NUNCRACKERS. As is typical of my character in the show, I'm wearing an elf cap while others have traditional Santa hats. Ah, well, my character is a cut-up.

Well when I sliced the pork I saw right away that it was undercooked. So I simply microwaved it a bit.

As for chicken breast, hmmm ... for some reason I've never had problems with that. I find it if I cook it for an hour it's always good.

But I will look into getting the thermometer. But then I will need to find out the correct temperatures for each food item.
