Fussbudget - isn't that a small yellow bird?

We ate bolongna and hot dogs from the Eckrich company. I still eat them both. I like to put some cheese salsa on a piece of bread and add a hot dog and microwave it for a quick snack or lunch.

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!

I didn't get out of bed until abour 20 minutes ago - 1:00pm EDT. But since I didn't really get to bed until 5:00am, I guess I did get my eight hours.

Gorgeous day here to in Richmond. Supposed to get into the 70s today. And I don't have to mow a lawn either!

*But I'll be unpacking some more boxes later.

RE: Bologna and Braunschweiger (Thanks for jogging the childhood culinary memories, DR Rodzinksi.)

The stand-by school lunch sandwich was Oscar Mayer Bologna with a slice of American Cheese on Wonder Bread. Sometimes a slice of Velveeta would replace the American Cheese. Some days that was a good sandwich, and other days it was the last thing I wanted to eat for lunch.

*And to think that my Mom didn't really worry too much about keeping our lunch bags cool with ice packs. Ah, the times they are a-changin'.

However, I always loved fried bologna sandwiches - hot or cold. And for an extra treat, sometimes with a slice of fried salami in there too. I seem to remember that once I discovered the joys of fried bologna, that I tried to fry every other cold cut my parents had in the fridge. Pimiento Loaf always came out interestingly.

And my favorite fried bologna sandwich was anyone that happened to have a slice with a peppercorn in it. Loved that "bite". Fried bologna and salami would also make frequent appearances at weekend breakfasts and brunches.

Braunschweiger was one of those foods that I probably should not have liked as a kid, but did. That and it's close cousin liverwurst. But both had to be Oscar Mayer too. Braunschweiger and chunks of cheddar cheese on a Ritz or a saltine....Perfection!

Oh... And my Mom was a big fan of Jell-O, and our school lunch desserts usually consisted of whatever concoction of Jell-O (pick a flavor, any flavor) and canned fruit (peaches, pears, or fruit cocktail) she would mix up almost on a daily basis. My favorites were the ones where she would beat up the Jell-O to make it all frothy and lighter in color, then it would layer itself in the container. She had a great assortment of Tupperware containers -most of which would eventually get left in my cubby hole at school and/or accidentally thrown away in the cafeteria. Oops!

I have nothing to add to the bologna/Jell-o discussion except this:

And to say that I saw the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile driving by my school when I was going to get a Cherry Coke a few weeks ago.

Oh, and My BIG Fat Greek Wedding. That's all I got.

My brother says The BIG Labowski, although he doesn't know how to spell it and neither do I.

And he says that, come to think of it, it might be The Great Labowski, in which case- never mind.

Sandra · « **Reply #70 on:** April 17, 2005, 10:59:06 AM »

And if you want to hear about interesting Jell-o combinations, just wait until my mom gets home.

The BIG Comfy Couch. Does that count?

OK- Time to get my day in gear - Sleeping in is nice, but it does tend to eat some daylight.

FUSSBUDGET! I always allot at least $3.51 US to my FUSS BUDGET. That buys quite a bit of fussing.

Sandra · « **Reply #73 on:** April 17, 2005, 11:11:05 AM »

This time of the semester (term paper and final exam season), I have to increase the amount of money in my fuss budget to account for all the fussing I do. Just ask my mom.

With all the gas talk yesterday, the gas here is 90.3 cents/litre. Does anyone know how that compares to the $2/gallon people were mentioning yesterday?

Also, DR MBarnum was talking about self-serve vs service stations. Do most states have both? Here most gas stations have both options.

Jennifer · « **Reply #75 on:** April 17, 2005, 11:31:27 AM »

IT is very warm here today (and was warm yesterday). Probably high 60s to 70F. Wow, I'm loving it!

MBarnum · « **Reply #76 on:** April 17, 2005, 11:48:32 AM »

I think Oregon and New Jersey are the only non-self serve gas states, as I recall.

I have a large pussy-cat sleeping on my lap, and an old lady in my living room watching her third (3rd) 1930s John Wayne western!

Soon mom will be returning to Medford and I can have my television back...I have Bollywood movies to watch, darn it!

MBarnum, do you have any idea what accounts for your interesting choices in movies, music, and television?

TCB · « **Reply #78 on:** April 17, 2005, 11:56:21 AM »

Also, MBarnum, do you have any relatives in the Tacoma area? Yesterday there was a PT Cruiser in the grocery store parking lot with the personalized plate, BARNUM.

Thank you, one and all, for your positive health vibes. I have been telling myself that my neck is a lot better today, but it may be that I have just figured out which ways not to turn my head. Besides, Danise's mother and I have made a pact not to go to the doctor, but to suffer in semi-silence.

I didn't know that there were states that had non-self service gas stations. Wow! HHW is a real learning tool.

DR. MBarnum, someday, you will wish for an old lady in the living room, watching John Wayne movies and that couch won't seem as uncomfortable as you remembered.

Personally, I get a little kick out watching Chisum (for example) for the Lord-only-knows-how-many-times-time and having her say, "Gee, I NEVER saw that one before!" And I'm sitting there quoting it, line for line.

I guess someday, someone will be doing the same for me when I say that about Star Wars or the Star Trek movies.

Dear TCB--how are you feeling today? I hope much better.

DR Michael was correct, DR Hisaka. I am only about two hours from MouseLand. That's one of the nice things about where I live. I really am not far from any point in Florida. Now that I have the new SUV, I can go places. Not yet but I will.

DR François de Paris, I thought I had remembered something about you working for the Mouse. I've also heard that the "unoffical" song for working there is: "M. I. C. K. E. Y. O. U. S. O. B.". Have you heard that? I have other friends that work for the Mouse that told me that and it cracked me up.

How is your Sister in Law, DR Elmore? Better I hope. How are YOU doing?

I'm watching that "Show Dog Moms and Dads" in between everything else. One lady just fed her dog raw chicken backs. I've always heard that you shouldn't feed your dog ANY chicken bones because they splinter and can tear your dogs tummy up.

Has anyone else heard that?

This is closing weekend for a local production of MAN OF LA MANCHA, starring a very dear friend of mine. So, last night, sore neck and all, I went to see the show. I did get my friend Betzy to do the driving so I could take some muscle relaxers before going to the theatre. The show was entertaining, as always, and my friend, Micheal's performance as Cervantes was brilliant. I saw him do the role seven years ago, and I thought I wold never see a performance that topped it; but last night he was even better than I had remembered.

The rest of the cast was the ususal assortment of community theater actors ranging from very good to dismal. MY biggest complaint was that they were the cleanest, most well-manicured group of prisoners ever assembled in one prison. No effort was made to make their clothing appear shabby or dirty, nor was there one speck of dirty on any on them.

TCB · « **Reply #85 on:** April 17, 2005, 12:27:38 PM »

I am in a lot of pain, but I don't want to take any more muscle relaxers, in case I need to go to the store later.

I hope you feel better soon, TCB. Don't take to many pills because you find that you'll feel sicker off the meds then the pain you feel in your neck.

Talking about sandwiches. My Mom used to make a cheeze and ketchup sandwich for me when I went to school. Major YUCK. I hated that.

I had a lovelier than lovely long walk. Went to the City of Studio Farmer's Market. What is strange to me is that I've never run into anyone I know - not one single person.

Did you buy anything while there? Some fresh fruit, perhaps?
