TOD - Apparently Richard's grandmother made rice pudding that he and his brothers all loved, but, of course, there was no written recipe. I have tried in vain to replicate it and told my sister-in-law, before she married Richard's older brother, "Don't even try!"

That's sad. And there are so many different styles of rice pudding.

Yes. For now Richard seems satisfied with the individual serving cups from KozyShack - when we can get them from Kroger.

I love KozyShack's tapioca pudding!

Tonight, I watched Kelli O’Hara’s THE KING AND I. Boy, I tell you, I never cried like that when Yul Brynner died.

The best part of this The Cradle Will Rock is the appendix, a 13+-minute recording of Blitzstein telling his version of what happened on opening night. And you know what? The sound quality is much better than Mauceri's. Hardly a surprise, but still.

That was pretty cool. I also really enjoyed John Housman's telling of the story on the 1985 cast recording.

Topic of the Day (in addition to tapioca): chocolate, banana, butterscotch, caramel, pistachio (but I strain out the pistachio nuts from the packet puddings), vanilla...only if it's not instant, bread (but no raisins). The other flavors in instant are okay (or, at least, good enough for me) and prepared vanilla in the cups or tubs are fine, too, but instant vanilla has never tasted right.

Hell, I cry during the opening credits of CAMELOT.

I once at a Lincoln Center Library bazaar mentioned to Betty Chapin, whose husband Schuyler was at one time the executive producer for Leonard Bernstein's Amberson Organization among many other positions he held during his lifetime, that I had just recorded Girl Crazy with John Mauceri. She gave me a look as though I had just told her she had lice and, after a moment, said in a chilly voice, "John Mauceri thinks he invented Leonard Bernstein."

Oh, my!

Brunch was a success. I sent them home with leftovers, which was great. My brothers homemade Italian sausages (which he gave out as Christmas gifts) were fantastic. Nice way to start the year. Oh, and my recent COVID test was negative. Living the life, I tell you!

Great news, all around, Matthew!

A little early in the New Year for such things.

We re-watched the 2017 Broadway production of Falsettos. I'll admit to being a blubbering mess during most of Act Two.

It always gets me, too.

I suspect that's like eating two normal cupcakes.

About to move on to a Humperdinck opera that elmore mentioned a few days ago - Konigskinder.

Now finishing up this Pavel Haas opera.

I talked to a friend of mine, whose mother suffered from restrictive lung disease. She said her mom had to be on oxygen all the time.

Yeah, well every patient is different.

This reminds me of the time when I think it was DRs Laura and Sandra were posting to each other on HHW from different rooms in their house. Does that sound familiar?

A few days ago my trunk was frozen shut. And I think I pulled a muscle in my left upper back/shoulder neck trying to open it. I thought for sure that this would go away. But it still hasn't. Luckily sleeping is much better (the first night was really bad). But it's hard to use the computer, read, watch tv...

Oh, no!

~~~Feel Better Vibes for Jennifer!!~~~

Listening to a little opera-ish thing (it sounds more like musical comedy) - I might issue it as I'm a huge fan of its composer.

That's cool! I wonder what it could be. I'm sure I've never heard of it, though.

I have a friend who is a big sports fan. He stopped going to the Seattle Storm games, not that he didn’t enjoy them, but he felt intimidated by the large lesbian fan base.

My niece can't go anymore because she has hyperacusis. $:-\$
