Jimmy crack corn but I don't care!

Up here in the Northwest, all of the supermarkets and grocery stores are open their regular hours today. But, if you want to make sure, ask Tomovoz, since he already celebrated New Year's Day yesterday, he might know what is open today.

You're right, BK...it does not feel entirely like a Saturday. It feels a bit like Sunday, but not quite. Perhaps it is Sunturday today.

Happy New Year, everyone! Here's wishing y'all the finest year ever for 2005!

I have a couple of resolutions for the coming year. First and foremost will be to move back to the suburbs. City life is nice, but it doesn't have the zing for me that it once had. I long for a house with some land around it filled with trees, grass and various flora. I shall begin my search come springtime.

I am also resolving to allow myself the time to express my creative side more often. Whether this will simply be in taking up writing or singing lessons I'm not sure yet. But I've been neglecting my creative drive for the past year and I think it's time I let it out. Spiritually, it's needed.

Happy New Year to cyber daughter, Ann, who is present; and to cyber son, Jed, who is not. NATIONAL PASTIME opens next Friday, and plays only six performances, closing on January 16.

Last night as I was running out, I saw that DR Jay asked me to describe Philadelphia's Mummer's Parade. Not an easy task--try to imagine a bunch of guys from a working class bar deciding to gay all of a sudden. They come up with something like this:

More on this later--dinner has just been announced.

I know this may be radical to say, but it does not feel like a Saturday.

I must venture out soon if I'm to find milk with which to make the Corn Bread.

And then there's the matter of the Powerbook, just sitting in its box like so much fish, whispering, "BK, BK, I'm just sitting here like so much fish, come open me and play, BK". I shall try to have strength, dear readers, oh, yes, I shall try to have strength.

Welcome five GUESTS. We're talkin' about HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Question to five GUESTS: Does this seem like a Saturday?

Ginny · « **Reply #68 on:** January 01, 2005, 12:18:48 PM »

The only thing that makes this seem like a Saturday is that we're getting ready to watch the Michigan Wolverines play football - Go Blue!

What we're eating today: meatballs in chili sauce, taco dip, salsa, chips, and other assorted appetizer things.

Company's here - Later...

Greetings from Phoenix.
Last round of gift exchange was today and I'm so thrilled we got...
Tickets to Spamalot!
Friends who've seen it in Chicago have been thrilled and delighted.

A meal was prepared this morning that I've only seen in Phoenix (thankfully) and it's the most disgusting, nutritionally valueless think I've ever encountered. It's called S.O.S. and it seems to consist of bacon drippings, lots of eggs, and parts of bread that are deemed not good enough to throw at birds. I don't understand how anybody can eat it and live.

Interesting that you should mention the hokey pokey, as I just yesterday saw this bumpersticker:

WHAT IF THE HOKEY POKEY REALLY IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT?

Noel · « **Reply #71 on:** January 01, 2005, 12:25:29 PM »

Resolutions: getting our financial house in order and losing weight. I'm now, by far, the heaviest I've ever been. Sluggish, and so fat I often get stuck in doorways. This must stop.

As a day one endeavor, I pushed the plate of S.O.S. away from me without tasting it.

Speaking of "tickets to the hottest show in town" - Joy gave me a membership to MOMA. Now, I can waltz in whenever I've a break from work and visit old friends like Girl Before a Mirror and Starry Night. Free. You don't have a membership, they charge you $20. Which would not get the financial house in order.

Tonight I will be out and about, attending the 60th Birthday Bash for my dearest friend in the whole wide world, Sharry O'Hare (The Legend). How ironic, that my friend here in little old Tacoma should have also met the esteemed BK, the fabulous Michael Shayne, and the delightful George; all in the past twelve months. What a world….what a world.

How do you "grease" a pan?

bk · « **Reply #75 on:** January 01, 2005, 12:44:35 PM »

Is that like Crisco or something? I cannot possibly make Corn Bread without greasing the pan, so sayeth the directions.

If you have Pam (or Sylvia) you can spray the inside of the pan. Or, you can take a little butter on a paper towel and lightly coat the interior of your pan (pardon the expression).

bk · « **Reply #77 on:** January 01, 2005, 12:52:33 PM »

I always enjoy coating the interior of my pan. Or I would if I had a pan. Hopefully, they will have a pan at the market, and hopefully the pan will have an interior, which I can coat or, at the very least, shirt. The sun is doing its darndest to break through these cloudy clouds.

George · « **Reply #78 on:** January 01, 2005, 12:55:35 PM »

My sister makes corn bread, but she actually uses a mix that you just add water. It's quite good and very easy to add and stir the water into the mix. I don't know if she's ever made corn bread from a recipe. I know I haven't.

Sandra whose cats are those?

George I wanted french toast for breakfast this morning but we didn’t have any bread to make it. I did treat myself to some hot coco after my walk in the cold wind and snow.

George & Michael Shayne I enjoyed all of your New Year pictures and gifs. MS did you find a picture of Vienna? I am very curious what Craig saw during his celebration there.

Hisaka those Dolce look delicious.

Jennifer · « **Reply #82 on:** January 01, 2005, 01:15:40 PM »

Yes to grease a pan you can use a bit of butter/margarine. I like that better than Pam. Or you can use special yellow stuff for baking (lacopan?), which you probably wouldn't have.

Hmm, I've never had corn bread.

Jennifer · « **Reply #83 on:** January 01, 2005, 01:17:12 PM »

Did anyone else see the commercial for TAR (Amazing Race) that played during the Rose parade? Excellent!

Oh and ALIAS STARTS THIS WEDNESDAY. YEAH!!!!!

Jennifer · « **Reply #84 on:** January 01, 2005, 01:20:24 PM »

Thank you DR TCB. I was playing with that pic and took the pic of coco, made it into a star and put it at the top of the tree and sent it to my aunt (it's her dog). She loved it.

I did the same thing to a friend (putting his pic as the star) and HE DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE!

Jennifer · « **Reply #85 on:** January 01, 2005, 01:24:50 PM »

BK asked about food. I will have leftovers from last night's dinner. General Taos chicken and fried rice. Yummy.

Last night I also had tempura (it was a Chinese/Japanese restaurant). They make their wonton soup with shrimp. Normally I don't like that, but it was quite good.

I don't have any New Year's Day traditions except watching the Rose parade.

My favorite part is the Making of the Floats. ABC showed a bunch of stuff about that.

Btw, I wish all 3 major networks would change their hosts!

I've had my New Year's meal -- fresh black-eyed peas, turnip greens, grilled pork chops and fresh, homemade corn bread...made from scratch with buttermilk.

It's a yummy cornbread...and you grease the pan by just putting a dollop of oil in it and sticking the pan in the hot oven while you mix all the ingredients....the best cornbread results from pouring batter into a hot pan and letting that nice crust form on the sides and bottoms.

YUMMY!

Panni · « **Reply #87 on:** January 01, 2005, 01:30:24 PM »

Hello. I'm tied to my chair and writing. Have now caught up on the "This doesn't feel like a greased Saturday" posts and can now get back to writing.
Just remember -- Always use a paper towel when greasing Saturday.

Matt H. · « **Reply #88 on:** January 01, 2005, 01:58:29 PM »

My friend was nursing a hangover today, so we didn't go out shopping. That gave me time to get the gutters and the back portion of my roof cleaned off and then to sit and watch VAN HELSING. More about that in the next post.

Matt H. · « **Reply #89 on:** January 01, 2005, 02:01:41 PM »

I'll be frying chicken when I go back downstairs.
