Hello, DRGINNY!

DRJOSE must be nearly home by now.

And yes DRTOMovOZ - I would imagine DRJOEY is now familiar with the lyrics of "Pineapple Princess."

Well, that makes horse races because I think the scripts for EYES have been wonderfully intricate, and I love Daly's droll approach to the job. And switching clients in the midst of a case, well, I've never seen anything quite like that in a TV procedural before.

I wouldn't know a medical information hole if it bit me in the toe. The show keeps me on edge constantly with the diagnoses, treatments that work or don't work, and the final unravelling of the medical mystery (though almost all of the stories have followed that same pattern, ripe for some tweaking if it's not to become mundane).

I have nothing against Judd Hirsch personally. He's a wonderful actor, but with nothing to do on the show except continuously prod his sons for not getting married and producing offspring, well, I have a knee jerk reaction to that kind of parental pressure. I endured it myself for decades before I finally let my parents in on the truth that there would be no grandkids from my side of the family tree.

I agree with the switching clients and Daly's acting-the reason's I'm still watching.

I think they heard about your knee-jerk reaction to parental pressure and have eased up on those jokes. In last weeks episode Hirsch didn't say much, but what he said had value.

We try not to put that kind of pressure on our kids. Bryan’s last girlfriends kept bringing up the subject of children and he thinks I’m the one that starts it, knowing I would like a grandchild. If his new girlfriend says anything at all I’m changing the subject as fast as possible.

A nice group of packages today: from Amazon.uk the new bios of John Schlesinger and Michael Redgrave, and the French film ON GUARD from eBay.

DRRodzinski should be here shortly. We're having dinner and watching a movie.

Almost everything my mother cooked was the best. She was great at collecting recipes and improving on them.

Long before there was The Cheesecake Factory you could rarely find a good cheesecake, except at our house.

Dark English fruitcake with marzipan topping-I miss it so much. My father
wasn’t a fan of marzipan so he would peel his topping off and give it to me. I’m sorry to say this recipe has been lost.

Wild rice
Cornish hens stuffed with wild rice
Danish apple pie
A thick meat Spaghetti sauce
Yorkshire pudding
Breads
Custard Pie
Noodle Kugel
Matzo ball soup made with turkey, not chicken soup
Stuffed cabbage
Chocolate cake with a great frosting

My mother would write out our names with pancake batter.

I don’t know if this was the best since I have never had it anywhere else, but she fried up leftover mashed potatoes patties, in butter, for breakfast and poured Golden Syrup over them. Craig loves these.

Sometimes I'm pizzicati strings, sometimes I'm arco strings, sometimes I'm a clarinet, sometimes I'm a clarinet with arco strings, sometimes I'm a brass band (hmm....a Cy...oh, never mind):

Congrats to DR Jay. Now that employment concerns are out of the way, hopefully he'll be re-joining us soon at HHW.

JRand, junket is kind of a runny pudding-like thing. Used to come in a packet that could be bought at stores. I don't know what was added to it, probably milk.

elmore, you will love ON GUARD.

Junket is a sweet custard like food of flavoured milk curded with rennett. Junket tablets were added to the milk and had various flavours - all of which tasted much the same!!

Mr. Kevin Spirtas came by to play me the first attempt at one of our medleys. The good news was the songs all seem to work. The bad news was the medley made no sense musically or any other way. We spent a half-hour going through it, and I made lots of cuts and gave new ways to get in and out of things - he'll go back now and make those changes and it should work much better. It was twelve minutes, and I believe I've gotten it down to six.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #143 on:** April 11, 2005, 04:31:19 PM »

Junket is, of course, a brand name...now. The word itself has been used since the 15th century to refer to a dessert made of sweetened curds...in other words, a kind of cheese.

Nowadays, the word "junket" refers to a trip supposedly made for collecting information but generally for those on the junket to have a grand time carrousing and behaving in sundry cheesy ways.

Hi folks!

Just got home a little while ago so I can’t stay for long—gotta feed the dogs, eat dinner, etc.

Just wanted to say:

Congrats to TCB on the role in Annie Get Your Gun. Break another leg!

Thanks to Jane for E-mailing me your (TCB) comments about the bus. We’re sure going to give it everything we’ve got to keep our route just as it is.

I LOVED the pictures, DR Ginny! Hey, I know some of those people. In fact, I think I’ve even MET some of those people in PERSON!!!

DR VixMom—Just a FYI, Bonnie is very well behaved and does NOT jump curbs into peoples yards!

A comment on Errol Flynn. Some years back, I was in a waiting room and a Errol Flynn movies was on the TV. I made the comment that they don’t make movies or men like that any more.

One of the men said that he knew Errol Flynn when he was a kid. He said that Errol was good friends with his father/mother and he had lots of memories of him coming over to house for dinner. Fact or fiction, I don’t know but it was an interesting story.

Welcome back DR Dan The Man! You were missed!

Great news about DR Jay and the new job. Glad to hear that DR’s Ann and Jed are also raking in some cash!

DR Elmore, I’m so very glad that you finely have a date to look forward to that will take care of problem. I’m hoping against hope that will be the case.

Got to run. Sorry but at least I posted!

Good Afternoon! Well, it's almost Good Evening here...

Not too bad a flight back... However...

It's amazing how long a relatively short 20-minute cab ride to the airport can seem... as you watch the fare go up... and up... and up... -And, yes, I already have the envelope all set so that I can mail my receipt into company management.

My flight out of Indy left about 30 minutes late since the "equipment" was held up in Chicago, and didn't start deplaning until our scheduled departure time. However, we made good time into Dulles, and I'm just glad I didn't have to worry about rushing off to a connecting flight.

Then came the walk to the shuttle to take me back to the main terminal. Then came the slow shuttle ride back to the main terminal. Then came the walk through the main terminal to baggage claim - up one set of stairs, turn left, down another set of stairs, turn to the right, up an escalator, turn left, down an escalator,turn right... Whew! Ah, but, of course, the luggage was coming in on Carousel 1 - and by the time I had finished the "maze" I was standing at Carousel 7. Then came the wait... It was a good 15 minutes before the luggage from my flight appeared - and it had already been about 15 minutes since we had deplaned. All of us kept checking with the agents to make sure we were all standing at the correct carousel. In any case... My bag was the second one out!

Then came another wait for the Parking Shuttle... Thankfully, that wasn't too long, and it's an absolutely gorgeous day here. And it was nice seeing the trees that were bare when I left two weeks ago all a-bud. And the rush hour traffic was expected and not too bad.

So, I'm at my parents house right now. Had some dinner. Watching some TV. Catching up on e-mails. I may actually go ahead and head back to Richmond tonight.

My parents aren't home right now, which is a little strange, but it does look like my father came home from work and headed back out somewhere. -There were "fresh" leftovers in the fridge - always a sign that my dad has come home from work (he cooks for the Secretary of HHS.)

In any case...

I still remember when I played Into the Woods at Signature Theatre. I covered the piano/keyboard/celeste/etc. parts as well as lent some "support" to the string section. *OH! and the "back beats" for the Witch's rap in the opening. In any case...

The only time I had a break was for a little bit of underscoring/scene change music in the second act. I "fondly" remember the Post-It note that I pasted over the section... "HALLELUJAH!"

RE: Junket - I still junket for sale on some grocery store shelves - even Ukrop's in Richmond has it - and that's saying something! It's usually in the "International Aisle", or in the no-man's section of stuff that's could fit into a bunch of other categories.

Glad you got the package JRand54! I hope you enjoy your movie viewing!! And remember the Hong Kong movie I sent is a VCD, so the picture quality will not be as wonderful as the DVD would be, plus no menu like on a DVD.

My brand new JVC all region code DVD player is on it's way to me know!!! And then I can watch some actual Hong Kong DVDs!!

That said, my friend David just sent me DANCING MILLIONAIRESS VCD which I can hopefully watch this coming weekend, if not sooner.
