I don't know if people can see this since I'm copying the link from Facebook. But here's a detail of the No Room in the Gingerbread Inn house.

I can see it-very nice. I love gingerbread houses.

I like the Gingerbread Inn......

We make an eggplant rollatini recipe. The filling inside the rolled eggplant is angel hair pasta with pesto sauce.

Jane · « **Reply #153 on:** December 05, 2020, 05:28:57 PM »

I really don't cook pasta very often and we rarely eat it anymore unless we are traveling.

Jane · « **Reply #154 on:** December 05, 2020, 05:30:21 PM »

I made my own spaghetti sauce. In Pennsylvania I used tomatoes from the garden.

I occasionally made Fettucine Alfredo.

Nice avatar.

Pasta Siciliano, a recipe from an Italian restaurant in Michigan which also made the eggplant rollatini. Short version....It is sautéed onions, raisons, pine nuts, tossed into bow tied pasta and cooked in a creamy tomato spaghetti sauce.

Hi DR Jan. It is very nice to see you.

Jan your avatar is beautiful.

thanks for your kind words.

JRand, I really enjoyed the production, right up to the Carol of the Bells at the end. You know, having some excellent singers is certainly a help, but there were no barnyard animals joining in. And that is a drawback.

John G. · « **Reply #165 on:** December 05, 2020, 06:26:58 PM »

In addition to your joyous Fezziwig, I liked the bubbly Ghost of Christmas Present and I found the Belle to be very touching in the way she stands up to Scrooge.

The script could have been better. And I'll refer you to the 1939 radio version I listened to last night as an example of an under-one-hour version that wasn't just a tour of highlights from the story. Lionel Barrymore was Scrooge and Orson Welles the narrator. Of course, your Scrooge wasn't a Barrymore. But I lay more blame on the shorthand of the storyteller.

Considering how he's treating Santa Claus (Sydney Greenstret), it's a bit bizarre to be introducing the audio edition of my one-person play, PETER LORRE, during the Christmas season.

Blame ACX, not me. 🙂

Nevertheless, Bill Schafer does a marvelous job as Peter Lorre in the play, which can be downloaded via Amazon, iTunes and audible.com. The play is also available in paperback and Kindle editions. Performance rights are available.

Great photo, and he does look like Peter Lorre.

It IS Peter Lorre!

Listening to two Eduard Kunneke operettas - I love this guy's orchestral music, which is fantastic. The first, Lady Hamilton, is impossible to judge because the quality of the radio broadcast is so poor and irritating - this is obviously some gray area label in the UK. As an extra, they include a short operetta which, despite the even worse quality, is better presented - it's called Traumland and is completely delightful and happily that one's available on a professionally recorded CD coupled with another operetta by someone else, so will be looking forward to that. My favorite piece by this guy is called Tänzerische Suite - find it on YouTube - it's highly addictive. He also wrote popular songs of Germany back in the day, of which one of my faves is called Sex Appeal.

That's on this horrid two-CD operetta set with a few other PD (in EU) things.

DR Jane was right - the benefit was tolerable online, and it was a stream, not a Zoom, so we needn't have dressed up.

singdaw · « **Reply #170 on:** December 05, 2020, 07:10:07 PM »

It was to raise money for JFCS - Jewish Family and Children's Services. A worthy cause.

Darn I forgot to watch...is it still available on streaming?

vixmom · « **Reply #172 on:** December 05, 2020, 07:19:33 PM »

Angel hair pasta with Alfredo sauce, some peas, mushrooms and some small pieces of ham or bacon

Just watched the first two videos on Alvin Ailey. All I want to do is dance. And they had some socially distanced pieces that you don't need a partner for. Plus, they have classes online, including zumba for people like me who need to start moving again.

John G. · « **Reply #177 on:** December 05, 2020, 07:47:43 PM »

I need to go do some dishes.

John G. · « **Reply #178 on:** December 05, 2020, 07:48:01 PM »

And stop a bird from screaming in my ear, even though he's half a house away.
