Starting Hillbilly Elegy this morning.

I asked Richard's brother Sunday if he'd read the book.  When I mentioned the author's last name and the street where he'd lived, David said, "I used to race go-karts with Jimmy Vance who lived on McKinley Street."  That's the Uncle Jimmy you'll read about in the book.

Didn't Richard live on McKinley Street when we were in junior high school?

Shafor Street.

53 years ago today.   

I was a sophomore in high school

It was 5th period (Band) when the announcement came to suspend classes until the bell rang and then to report to 6th period classes (French) which would also be suspended, class-wise.   

We were all in shock.

Sometimes, I still feel the shock of it.

I should be used to it by now, but every now and then, I get these emails that start with "WTF" and still get startled before I realize they're from the Williamstown Theatre Festival mailing list.  :)

230 posts - pretty damn good.  People come, people go, like Grand Hotel, but we sure have wonderful people remain and occasionally we get us a posting frenzy going on.

But do they move chairs?

I was in ninth grade, school had just gotten out, we were gathering at the front entrance where the school buses picked us up, and the word was suddenly going around that the president had been shot.  We thought it was a joke.  What I don't remember is when the word that it wasn't a joke went around.  Did teachers come out and tell us?  The bus driver?  If not, I certainly got the confirmation at home some twenty minutes later.  The TV was on for the next four days.

Cranberry sauce -- made and in the fridge.

Sausage -- cooked and crumbled and in the fridge.

Bread -- cubed and drying.

You know what?  I deserve a little break, then I'll move on to -- who knows what.

Could one of you fine cooks here please tell me...?

What's the best (i.e., most flavorful) way to use the fresh herbs that go into stuffing?  I bought fresh ones of everything.  Do you keep them whole and healthy till time to cut them up and put them in, or do you do that earlier and let them become dried?

Sorry, DR ChasSmith, I can't help you.  The base for my stuffing comes in a bag from Pepperidge Farm, already herbed and spiced.  If I need herbs, they come in a jar from Spice Islands.

And just because.

Kahlua Oreo Milkshakes

4 cups chocolate ice cream
5 Oreos
1/3 cup Kahlua
1/4 cup Bailey's Irish Cream

Place all in a blender and process until smooth. Garnish with crumbled Oreos.

In the Griffin household, this is a single serving.

I was in 8th grade and remember seeing teachers in tears.  My parents had been running errands and picked me up from school.  We watched TV for the next 4 days, except for going to church on Sunday morning for my niece Laura's baptism.  We were sitting around the dining room table having a celebratory lunch with the TV on (not typical during meals).  My dad shouted, "He's been shot!" and we all turned to see Oswald go down.

TOD:

How far back is modern? Mulholland Dr.? Marathon Man? No Country for Old Men?

The Lives of Others, Children of Men, Michael Clayton, Eastern Promises and A Brief History of Violence are on my list

TOD - not my genre.  I did like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo more than I expected, but not enough to read the sequel and its sequel.

Of course it's a single serving.  You'll just have to make one for each of us at the Great HHW Holiday Bash.

Damn it all, I do have to go out again.  DR John G. reminds me I have to go to Costco for the cat litter.  And then Petco for the cat food.  And then Shop Rite one more time for three or four more little things.  Damn it to hell.

Continued Major Miracle Vibes for MR BK.

I remember in the movie ABOUT LAST NIGHT....based on some play.....Rob Lowe picked up a record and said:  "Who does this belong to?" 

And then he mangled the name Shostakovich in the funniest way.....something like
Sho-Stack-O-Vitch......
