Well, you've read the notes, the notes have reported, you are in the loop, report-wise, and now it is time for you to post until The Haines Cows come home.

And the word of the day is: LOQUACIOUS!

Something every hainsie/kimlet understands.

bk · « **Reply #2 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:05:15 AM »

Welcome seven GUESTS. We're askin' questions. Be LOQUACIOUS!

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #3 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:09:15 AM »

Well, unfortunately, I am not feeling very LOQUACIOUS tonight, so I will just have to LOQUACE tomorrow.

bk · « **Reply #4 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:10:40 AM »

Tonight is for the loquacious. I cannot believe that the dapper and dashing Marc Chapeaux is not feeling loaquaciously loquacious.

Welcome eight GUESTS. I'm sure at least one of our GUESTS is LOQUACIOUS.

Ann, for heaven's sake be LOQUACIOUS!

I'm dancing the Black Bottom at the moment.

Welcome nine GUESTS. They're multiplying, like rabbits.

Ann · « **Reply #7 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:20:44 AM »

Loquacious, now there's a word I like!

I was productive today, it was good. I did three loads of laundry, the dishes, made a large pot of chowder, and went to the gym. Go me.

bk · « **Reply #8 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:23:12 AM »

A Large Pot of Chowder - that's the title of my next novel.

bk · « **Reply #9 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:23:34 AM »

Was this home made chowder and, if so, we must have complete details.

Dear BK: A Question!

I know you are not fond of the recent remakes of classic films, finding them unnecessary and poor in comparison to the originals.

Still, I have to wonder, is there a film out there that you wish someone would remake? That should have had the right stuff to be a classic, but somehow didn't and might, just might, be right for one of today's filmmakers to try to rework?

Ann · « **Reply #11 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:30:19 AM »

This was homemade chowder indeed. A lovely mix of potatoes, corn, turkey sasuage, green peppers, chopped onion, garlic, milk, cream, and assorted seasonings. Turned out splendidly.

bk · « **Reply #12 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:31:09 AM »

I hope you froze some and that it is winging its way to me as I type.

Ann · « **Reply #13 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:33:33 AM »

if there is any left over, I shall. Last Thursday I made a yummlicious batch of tuna pasta salad. I'd never made it on my own before, and I must say, it turned out beautifully. I am developing into quite a cook...at least by my standards

Sure. Man of La Mancha, a truly horrid film. And I know some will disagree, but Hello, Dolly!

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #15 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:34:25 AM »

I'm doing the Turkey Trot. My BK question today:

Is it true that that famous star of stage, screen, and bathroom walls, Marc Chapeaux, will be doing a duet of "Pepe" with Mr. Haines on his new album?

bk · « **Reply #16 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:35:32 AM »

I believe that could happen. I will tell you this: There might just be a song from that film on the album. But not the title song.

bk · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:36:27 AM »

So, I'm doing the Black Bottom, Pogue is doing the Turkey Trot, Ann is doing the Chowder and we're all being so LOQUCIOUS!

bk · « **Reply #18 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:36:38 AM »

And it's still raining.

I don't disagree at all, they both need remaking. I'd add Mame to the list.

This begs the question, or plurally questions: Who would you like to see star in the films, and (a harder question) who could direct?

S. Woody White · « **Reply #20 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:42:38 AM »

We may get snow on Thursday. I've only used my snow shovel once all winter!

S. Woody White · « **Reply #21 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:43:58 AM »

We have much shopping and travelling to do tomorrow, so I am elsewherizing. G'night.

bk · « **Reply #22 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:44:35 AM »

Well, directing is the problem, isn't it. And, of course, there's the pesky problem of stars for vehicles like these.

This makes me think of Black Bottom Cupcakes. Has anyone ever heard of these? Delicious chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese and mini chocolate chips...mmmm so very yummy.

bk · « **Reply #24 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:46:21 AM »

Never heard of it, but I'd be eating one now if I had one to eat.

Ann · « **Reply #25 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:46:45 AM »

A lovely old lady across the street used to always make me a batch for my birthday. She also had a huge sandbox that used to attract all the neighborhood kids. She still lives there, I believe.

Ann · « **Reply #26 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:50:26 AM »

Black Bottom Cupcakes

For a tiny treat, I make about 48 of these in gem-size muffin tins; the same batter produces 24 regular cupcakes.

FILLING
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
6 oz. chocolate chips

Beat everything together until smooth, then add in the chips. Set aside.

BATTER
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cocoa
1 cup water
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup vegetable oil

I'll bet Jose has made 'em at some point

I'm really wanting to eat something completely yummilicious tomorrow, but I shall be good, because I'm supping with our very own Vinnie on Thursday night, and my raincheck dinner at Crustacean is Friday night, and I'll be there no matter how much rain there is.

bk · « **Reply #28 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:52:17 AM »

That recipe seems very confoosin' (as Li'l Abner would say). I don't know from soft cream cheese - do you put it in the oven?

bk · « **Reply #29 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:53:07 AM »

Ann is being quite LOQUACIOUS tonight.
