Well, you've read the notes, the notes twirled a baton and did the splits, and now it is time for you to post until the twirling cows come home.

And the word of the day is: BAILIWICK!

Sherman Oaks' finest resident
Is running for president
So, get out there and stump
There are folks we'd like to trump
And on that note I say:
Vote! Vote for BK.

BK, I liked that, especially the dig at the Fat Orange Slug in the Oval Office.

I slept rather well. Annabelle's new sleeping spot is the foot of my bed, which bothers me since I worry that I must kick her all night. Thatch slept next to my pillow, and I have no idea where Stella slept, but I suspect it was the bathtub.

I have no plans today. Quelle surprise!

DR JohnG, I saw Leave Her To Heaven about a month ago. I really enjoyed it.

Last night we watched Miss Marple in They Do It With Mirrors, and I still have no idea how the murder was committed or howe the fat hell Miss Marple figured it out! Penelope Wilton of Downton Abbey and Joan Collins played wealthy sisters.

After three seasons, Geraldine McEwan abandoned the part, and now Julia McKenzie is Miss Marple. She's very good, but I think I prefer McEwan.

My doctor can be speedy: the referral for knee and hip injections arrived in this morning's email.

Kitty cleanup is finished. My rather crazy neighbor Judy left a trashbag filled with boxes of unopened Kleenex outside my door. I discovered it when I dumped the litter.

I can tell from Thatch's behavior that he is waiting for me to make the bed. Once that's finished and I can lie down, he gets a lot of petting and brushing.

T.O.D.

I know nothing about cooking chicken.

My wonderful wife makes it, and I eat it.

Yesterday, I watched an excellent movie on HBO: MIDWAY (2019).

Terrific special effects, and the film gives you an excellent perspective of what the historic sea battle was all about.

If you get a chance, take a look.

Good morning, all.

I read about 20 pages in Alexander Dumas’ Dictionary of Cuisine when I couldn’t sleep last night. That included a lengthy section on chicken. I wish I had his budget. His recipes often include a call for five or six truffles to make a roast chicken, not to mention pounds of butter and the like.

John G. · « **Reply #17 on:** July 07, 2020, 06:02:33 AM »

Roast chicken with truffles is one of the most incredible meals I’ve ever eaten. If I had to pick my last meal, that would be on the menu.

I’m pretty good at buying a rotisserie chicken at Stew Leonard’s or Costco, and fried chicken from Popeye’s or KFC. And I can’t off the top of my head think of any ways of preparing or serving chicken that I don’t actually like. So bring it on!

But prepare it myself? It’s been years since I’ve put chicken on the grill, let alone tackle anything more elaborate than that. Just laziness, mainly.

I love this little meatball of a dog at the ACC! I wish he weighed 40 lbs., not 67!

BAILIWICK is one of my favorite Dickens novels.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 07, 2020, 07:46:43 AM »

LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN is always worth watching......

DR DRUXY I watched MIDWAY on HBO on Saturday night and enjoyed it.....lots of history leading up to it and yes some wonderful special effects.

Some good acting as well.....

Jrand73 · « **Reply #23 on:** July 07, 2020, 07:48:58 AM »

I like fried chicken like my Mom used to make.....but I can't have that anymore. Now and then I get some KFC.

I like to cook chicken for a nice chicken pasta salad or chicken salad like I have in the refrigerator now.

Now and then I will cook some chicken patties - but some of them I don't like.....so I have to be careful what I buy.
I also like to bake some chicken breasts with small potatoes and have some peas and chicken stuffing.....but usually in the colder weather than we have right now.

Episode Four of "Conversations With Jack" can be found on the theatre website if anyone wants to watch.

So I went to Dollar Tree today for a few things. They had masks, so I got two packages - four masks total.

I decided I was going to go to Goodwill since I hadn't been since March or April.....

But it was too early....they don't open until nine. So I stopped at Meijer to buy some bananas.

Of course I had my mask on. I put my bananas in a bag and weighed them.....$2.55 worth. I headed for the checkout, but only one was open so I walked toward the self check. I was stopped by a woman who said: "This is only for people with carts....you can use the checkout."

I said...."Oh, well there's only one open and there's a line....and....well....bananas....."

She said: "It says carts only on the sign." She pointed and indeed it did.....say.....carts only.....

Then she said: "Well we have to take a break sometime. The girl had been on the register for two hours."

There was a lady standing behind me watching this all with much interest and said: "Two hours......imagine....."

So I tried to decide if I wanted to put my bananas in a cart or go stand in line....I went to stand in line with the lady customer behind me. She said: "That was odd."

I said: "Well now I remember why I don't usually come in here."

With the that lady at the self checkout opened a line and took me in. But of course her register "froze up" and she had to have someone come and do something.

BUT I didn't have to worry about being at the Goodwill too early. It was open when I got there. I bought a book about Ocean Liners and two CD's.

THE END.

When I cook chicken, it's usually to make chicken soup. I also bake chicken breasts with lots of mushrooms.

Tuesday morning greetings! We're going out today for our usual routine of curbside pick-ups at the grocery and the public library. We'll probably have to take naps afterwards to recover from the excitement.

TOD - I like to roast a whole chicken with a cubed lemon inside. We have one meal of chicken, rice or pasta, and a green vegetable, then I use the leftover chicken to make a pie or salad (or both if the bird was big enough to begin with).

I also marinate boneless chicken breasts in Montgomery Inn barbecue sauce, then grill them either outside or on the George Foreman.

This is what we have to do to get MR BK elected:
