Merry Christmas Eve to all!

May you have a lovely holiday however you spend it!

Congrats to BK and company for the many nominations for LA NOW AND THEN and the cabaret shows.

Bruce, I suspect the sudden disappearance of your favorite products may be due to the distributor. I've been told that some distributors tell Home Depot, "If you want A, then you must also stock B." A little arm-twisting.

Angel Soft is usually available at Dollar Tree. The 4-roll package is $1.00, which I suspect is a LOT cheaper than Gelson's. You'd be surprised what you can find at Dollar Tree!

I woke up about 4am and couldn't go back to sleep. I used to do this quite a lot. It does not make for a good day. Fortunately, I've been doing it less lately. Don't know what happened last night. Excited about Santa, perhaps.

DR JANE I put this on your BookFace page, too, but this should be the right size for your new avatar.

Thank you for doing this. Once home I will change it. I need my computer to do so.

Sorry you're not up to eating today, Jane.

I think I'm going to have to learn an easy way to make huitlacoche empanadas.

I somehow managed. We went for lunch at Mi Thera and then took a nice long walk. We are going to the restaurant bar for drinks now.

Let me know how your recipe turns out.

Oh, the Alamo was closed today.

The patch on the ceiling was clearly visible where my dad had come through , more than 20 years earlier. I pointed it out and asked if there had been a water leak

Wow!

He explained that there used to be a staircase to the attic but he closed it off.

I hope you reported this guy.

In addition to the Fiedler, I found I have a Reiner Nutcracker excerpts, and the stereo Mercury complete ballet. Will check all of these out.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #169 on:** December 24, 2016, 03:32:17 PM »

A couple of other interesting things surfaced, too, such as both Ormandy and Stokowski doing Swan Lake excerpts.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #170 on:** December 24, 2016, 03:32:57 PM »

So much fun, browsing through shelves that haven't been browsed in a while.

I think my first Nutcracker was Dorati and the Minneapolis Symphony on Mercury. I later got their complete Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake, all of which came in gorgeous oversiced packaging. The Nutcracker I really loved was the New York City Ballet recording on Kapp, which had a ton of photos of the original 1954 City Ballet production.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #172 on:** December 24, 2016, 04:09:07 PM »

Okay, that gorgeous oversized packaging is what I had -- large binder-type albums, kind of like 78-rpm albums.

With book pages built in.

Here's a listing for the Nutcracker one.

The church is only a mile from here but you must be there early to get a good pew

Sauce is simmering away and I'm trying to get it just right, which takes a little of this and a little of that. Everything else is ready and the water for the pasta is trying to boil and has been trying to boil for the last twenty minutes - probably should have started it ten minutes prior to that. Making five pounds of pasta - have no idea if that will be enough but I have an extra pound should we need it.
