TOD - I learned to roast a chicken from Richard's late cousin Deborah.  Rinse the chicken inside & out and stuff with a whole lemon that has been cut into 1" cubes, rind and all.  Cover and bake at 375o, about 30 minutes per pound.  We have one meal of chicken, rice or pasta, and a green veggie.  Then we have leftover meat for chicken pie, chicken spaghetti, or chicken salad.  Sometimes Mary Linda makes bone broth from the carcass and Allie the Cat gets the liver & gizzard.

Musical mavens and staffers - do you think it is helpful for the cast to hear the OBC version of a song before they learn it?

The Vocal Director is out for the rest of week, so I'm up!  Whew!  Didn't quite expect that, but it's okay - everyone was so good to help me out last year, I CANNOT refuse to help them.....

Of course we're just doing the easiest songs in the show tonight:

We'd Like to Thank You, Herbert Hoover
NYC
I Think I'm Gonna Like it Here

HA!

Ha, indeed.

TOD:

I love fried chicken, but I would take roast chicken in a heartbeat most any day.

I remember getting off a five-day food trip to NYC with about five meals each day. I really didn’t want anything to eat when I got to upstate New York,but my friend Carol talked me into dinner in Columbia County. I ordered roast chicken with truffles and butter under the skin. It remains one of my top five meals ever.

City Vet just called me.  Annabelle is in good dental shape except for her broken fang, which they are going to pull now.  The poor baby must be starving.  She last ate around 10pm last night.  Now I wait for the call to pick her up.

If you have inexperienced performers or slow learners or people who can't read music at all, it's probably not a bad idea.  I've been in a couple of shows where the music director/stage director did that.  They (fortunately) used recordings that matched what we were doing.

When this doesn't work is when the choreographer uses the recording to choreograph the numbers but the music director speeds up the tempo to a point where it's very difficult to execute the choreographer's choreography. :P

I think I'll try it - it will also take up a few minutes of time.

We are doing the same songs tomorrow night, so it can't hurt.

I was just called again.  Annabelle is out of surgery and I can pick her up after 5:30. Little Thatch must miss her today.  He's climbed all over me, begged to be petted and tummy-rubbed, and climbed up my leg to head-butt me.  He doesn't like being held but he likes to snuggle up.

That’s wonderful, but I never got to pick one up that soon.  Sometimes they even kept them overnight.

Good lunch meeting and a big decision made, not easily but necessary.  I think it's the right thing and I think people will be happy about it.

Picked up a package - should have been two but I got an alert from Amazon saying one of them was so damaged it was being sent back, so I'm out that CD and I won't be refunded till the seller gets it, which is really irritating and I'll be calling about that shortly.  When I saw the package that HAD been delivered I saw the problem - there was some kind of oily greasy crap all over the side where you'd open the package - it was disgusting.  I had to open it with tissues and then shake out the CDs therein, which were new and shrink-wrapped and thankfully not covered with the guck. I'm guessing the other package had the guck seep through and that was an open used CD and it probably ruined it.  The USPS should be forced to go out of business.

Best wishes to Elmo and Annabelle for a pleasant, loving night during which Annabelle gets more attention than she deserves and all the pity petting she can possibly stand.

I awoke to the sounds of a weedeater outside my window.  The temporary yardman was busy at work.  Got here at 8 a.m. and finished around 11 a.m.  Is our yard that big?  No, for the second time in our two-time experience with temporary yardman, his riding mower broke down.  First time he needed spark plugs.  This time he needed a belt of some kind.  The end result is that he mowed our yard with a power mower which he hand-pushed.

He did, however, disappear for a time while he got a new belt.  He had to install it as his truck was on one side of the house and his riding mower was on the other.

Sigh.  Will be glad when regular yardman (who is recuperating from a broken ankle) returns.  Probably around May.

We're home, and I am very happy that the bill was about 2/3 what I anticipated.  She's on enough pain meds to last her the next two days, and she just had her first tiny bit of food in 21 hours.  Thatch is happy to see her and he tried to eat her dinner, so I have him some of the Friskies Mixed Grill paté.  I have to keep an eye out tonight for any signs of nausea or bleeding.
