Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of a new book, and now it is time for you to post until the new cows come home.

 I ended up really enjoying La Wally.  It just got better and better as it went along.  Many beautiful passages and the interludes are gorgeous, too.

The only version of the La Wally famous aria that I've heard is Sarah Brightman's version.  Since I'm a fan of hers (more of her earlier stuff...and style ::) ), I really like the piece and her version.

I slept much better last night than the night before.  I had a long dream about being stuck in a subway station and trying to transfer trains.

Rob Fisher's brother Steve posted on Facebook yesterday that his $600 stimulus payment has landed in his bank account.  I will check my account today.  In case.

No bank deposit of $600. Pity.

The croquembouche was a project I did a few years ago when the marathon had the street outside our subdivision closed for the day. I always get annoyed on that day, since the race shuts down so much of the Phoenix area. We have to cancel church, since the road to the church is closed. I decided I needed a project that would keep me so busy all day I wouldn't have time to think about it. Well, I found it.

I was also annoyed that we had so much trash to clean up on the church property afterwards, and the crowds would also step on a lot of our plants.

I should make another one when this whole thing is over with. I have no idea what the occasion would be, though.

My favorite is Butterscotch.......pudding made by the Jello folks!

My mom used to make it......but I would never try.....I buy it in individual cups!

I particularly used to love it when she used the butterscotch pudding as the filling in a pie!

My bank, for whatever reason, puts no updates through to its website on weekends and holidays. That’s the norm with them and I’m used to it. This means that for all I know, that deposit has been sitting there since Thursday night or Friday morning but I won’t see it until sometime Monday. The almost universal reporting of this deposit by people everywhere shows up how unusual this bank’s practice is, and it pisseth me off. I’m going to call them on Monday to get their explanation.

Just about any as long as it is good. Few foods are worse than bad pudding.
Panna cotta
Butterscotch (a hotel near the office used to make theirs with crushed candies)
Rice
My Krispy Kreme bread pudding with hard sauce
Flan
Banana, even though the bananas don’t like me

When I was in the hospital for the first kidney surgery, I was given chocolate pudding as a dessert. It may be the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. The nastiness lingered for days. When I got home, I made my own. It was actually worse.

I remembered that after the second kidney operation. So, I ordered one chocolate and one vanilla pudding. The chocolate was as bad as I remembered. The vanilla was pretty good and comforting.

I guess I want dark chocolate pot de creme instead of chocolate pudding.

Listening to the new Springsteen album. The songwriting is solid, but the tempos are slow.

Didn't sleep very well last night, and as a result slept very late this morning after I finally did fall asleep.
