Don't remember who crashdilly is, but whoever it is, a very happy birthday from haineshisway.com.

STREUSEL, baby, STREUSEL!

Has anyone seen Jessica Skerritt?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #5 on:** April 16, 2005, 12:12:53 AM »

Good Morning! (once again)

We got threw a few more boxes - emphasis on "few" and note "more" - then settled in on his comfy couch to watch Letterman. -Kristin Chenoweth was fun, and she ended up singing a bit of "Here You Come Again" to demonstrate her Dolly Parton impression. Nice, but it would have been nice to hear her sing something from her new album. But since the musical guest tonight was Ludacris... Well... And Dave mentioned that he thought she was already doing her Dolly Parton impression from the way she was dressed.

Tomorrow will be kitchen day, and I'll be heading over around Noon to help out again. Remember, each box I unpack is a box I get to take with me!

There are only two versions of Here You Come Again that are worth listening to: Dolly's original, and Miss Alice Ripley and Mr. Guy Haines' version.

Hmmm.... STREUSEL...

Apple, Cherry, Nut, Poppy Seed... Oh, even Cabbage - yes, Cabbage - which is actually very good and more traditional than one would think. Oh, nevermind, that's streDel... Oops... Close, but no cigar.

So, as for STREUSEL... How can you go wrong when you combine butter, sugar (white and/or brown), cinnamon, nutmeg, and nuts; and then bake them up to crunchy goodness on top of a coffee cake, loaf bread, muffin or pastry!

STREUSEL???

All I have to say is swirl!

Michael · « **Reply #9 on:** April 16, 2005, 12:21:26 AM »

And what am I doing up this early talking about food?

I went to be at my usual hour. Dreamed of eating something crunchy and woke up. Is there something Freudian about this?

Was your pillow gone?

bk · « **Reply #11 on:** April 16, 2005, 12:22:28 AM »

I want to have the exact same dream I had last night. I'd like to have it every night.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #12 on:** April 16, 2005, 12:22:52 AM »

As for British play, films and musicals...

Well, right off the top of my head at this time of morning...

John Osborne's Look Back in Anger
Michael Frayn's Noises Off

Most of the Merchant-Ivory films with special affection for "Maurice", "A Room With A View" and "A Passage to India"
"Cold Comfort Farm"

Evita
Blood Brothers
Me and My Girl

Plus many other ones I know I'm forgetting right now...

-I can't wait to see DR Pogue's list.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #13 on:** April 16, 2005, 12:23:07 AM »

Well, that was worth waiting for, even though it wasn't Ms. Skerritt. Making the children smile, that's what its all about! Way to go, BK.

Britshows: "Salad Days" which I directed a couple years back. Totally nutty show with enjoyable tunes by Julian Slade. Another I'd LIKE to do is "Zip Goes A Million" which was a musical of "Brewster's Millions" written for George Formby in the 50s.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #14 on:** April 16, 2005, 12:25:16 AM »

OH!...

And once I got back to my place, I decided to go ahead and cut my hair. Not bad, and I made good time too! And I'm pretty sure I lost about three pounds in hair!

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #15 on:** April 16, 2005, 12:26:48 AM »

Cor Blimey! What a broad topic. I'll start with British films:

Now I'm going to bed.

Say, BK, maybe you should update the copyright date at the bottom of the page?

bk · « **Reply #19 on:** April 16, 2005, 12:32:34 AM »

I tried to sleep on some plays once - very uncomfortable.

Frankly, I'd like to hear Jessica Skerritt's choices, wouldn't you?

bk · « **Reply #20 on:** April 16, 2005, 12:33:08 AM »

Updating is the province of Mr. Mark Bakalor and he's a very busy lad these days.

bk · « **Reply #21 on:** April 16, 2005, 12:35:49 AM »

More:

Films - Carry on Cleo, The Third Man, Odd Man Out, Expresso Bongo.

Michael · « **Reply #22 on:** April 16, 2005, 12:42:52 AM »

Brit films: Carry On.....
Musicals: My Fair Lady (does this count?)

The Ruling Class a truly bizarre and wonderful film
The Lion In Winter

The above two have wonderful performances by Peter O'Toole

It is a shame that a lot of the Korda films have fallen into public domain and the copies circulating are so awful.

Many of the 50/60's comedies with Peter Sellers and Alec Guiness
Ealing? too tired to look up

The Red Shoes

I am sure there are others. Usually the small quiet dramas that are done so well.

Some of the Hammer, Amicus Horror films of the fifties.

And even the bizarre stylings of Ken Russell from Women in Love to The Boyfriend to The Devils to The Music Lovers

Michael · « **Reply #23 on:** April 16, 2005, 12:43:17 AM »

Our Man In Havana

bk · « **Reply #24 on:** April 16, 2005, 12:43:45 AM »

Tomovoz · « **Reply #25 on:** April 16, 2005, 12:43:54 AM »

Film: Lawrence of Arabia
Play: The Norman Conquests, Private Lives
Musical: The Card.

There are many more but also many more DRs to post!
