Finished with my viewing and I guess I'll try to send the actor notes shortly.

We just finished Deadwood the Movie. I hadn’t realized how much I missed these characters in all their weaknesses and glories. I may have to get the series from the library and watch it again.

We had an excellent dinner earlier. Beef tenderloin with a mushroom sherry cream sauce, a Greek salad, a veggie medley with butternut squash and Brussels sprouts. The pear cake was mighty good for dessert.

We felt the same way.

That pear cake sounds soooo good.

I have taken a whole Benadryl. Normally I only take half. With luck I will sleep well and feel better when I wake up.

I will have to think about the TOD....nothing is coming to me.

BUT - I will tell MY story about back when I was directing THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER in 1986.

As MR BK has written, at the end of Act Two, THE MAN is doing a radio show that includes a boys choir - that just adds to the hilarious chaos.

We had six boys who were doing a fine job. One evening after notes, I asked if anyone had any questions. One of the boys raised his hand and I called on him. He said: "I won't be able to do the show because we are going on vacation that week."

I said: "Uh....okay. Well then you don't have to come to any more rehearsals."

And he said: "Oh, I can come to all the rehearsals, I just can't do the show."

And I said: "That's okay. You don't have to come to anymore rehearsals. If your mom has any questions, have her call me."

I think he still came to a couple of rehearsals before he disappeared.

That's community theater for ya!

Well, the cheesecake was pretty successful...for the most part.

George · « **Reply #135 on:** November 28, 2019, 10:35:45 PM »

Last night, after I got home from shopping at Fred Meyer for the cream cheese, I realized that I didn't have any sugar.

George · « **Reply #136 on:** November 28, 2019, 10:39:00 PM »

However, I did have some Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener with Erythritol.

George · « **Reply #137 on:** November 28, 2019, 10:40:57 PM »

It has no calories and is supposed to be just like sugar.

George · « **Reply #138 on:** November 28, 2019, 10:41:18 PM »

It actually worked and the cheesecake tasted pretty good.

George · « **Reply #139 on:** November 28, 2019, 10:42:29 PM »

The only problem with the cheesecake is that I don't think I baked it long enough.

George · « **Reply #140 on:** November 28, 2019, 10:44:54 PM »

The center at the bottom was not as firm as the rest of the cake, but since it was cooked about an hour, I'm sure that it's otherwise cooked thoroughly with regards to it being safe to eat.

Here's a picture after we cut into it:

And here are the toppings that we had:

George · « **Reply #143 on:** November 28, 2019, 10:47:46 PM »

We had cherry pie filling, blueberry pie filling, whipped cream, and/or Hershey's chocolate syrup.

George · « **Reply #144 on:** November 28, 2019, 10:50:44 PM »

The rest of the food was pretty standard and quite good.

George · « **Reply #145 on:** November 28, 2019, 10:51:22 PM »

After we ate, my parents went home, then my sister niece and I played Sorry.

George · « **Reply #146 on:** November 28, 2019, 10:51:39 PM »

We hadn't played that in a while.

George · « **Reply #147 on:** November 28, 2019, 10:51:53 PM »

I won the first game!

George · « **Reply #148 on:** November 28, 2019, 10:52:29 PM »

And totally lost the second game.

George · « **Reply #149 on:** November 28, 2019, 10:52:41 PM »

But we all had fun.
