Off to find my room for sleeping. Will be back tomorrow in a somewhat abbreviated number of visits (I think).

Good night.

DR CILLALIZ; What a turtle cheesecake at Rebos looks like? Why TURTLE…

I don't know why turtle, but it's chocolate, carmel and pecans on a New York style cheesecake

"Turtles" are a candy made of caramel and pecans covered in chocolate that vaguely remind one of a turtle's shell. Here is one picture:

And unless you have some made from real cheap (meaning low quality) ingredients, they're very, very, very (that's three verys) good!

Well...

The original Turtles candy are made of pecans, caramel and chocolate.

You arrange a couple of pecans in a bunch, then pour caramel over them - enough to hold them all together - and then once the caramel is set, you either dip the whole thing in melted chocolate, or pour melted chocolate over it. The resulting candy looks like a turtle - sort of. Some candy makers even go as far arranging the pecans so that they have a head and legs.

... And then there are variations using cashews, peanuts, macadamia nuts, brazil nuts, etc.

I believe these Turtles and I could be so happy together.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #157 on:** July 13, 2005, 09:31:51 PM »

They'd rather be with me JMK.

JMK · « **Reply #158 on:** July 13, 2005, 09:33:31 PM »

Actually I just spoke with them, and they've ditched us both for someone named Elinor.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #159 on:** July 13, 2005, 09:35:17 PM »

Guess we'll just have to go with the Flo then JMK.

Don't worry! There are enough chocolate pecan caramel turtles in the world for EVERYONE!

Well, if I'm to be functional at auditions tomorrow... And I also have to negotiate a contract in the morning too - which is something I truly do not like having to do. Ah, well... In any case..

Goodnight.

Did everyone go with Jose?

George · « **Reply #164 on:** July 13, 2005, 10:20:37 PM »

I started watching "Rookie" with Dennis Quaid, about a 30/40 something year old guy trying out for the baseball minor leagues and I think he's going to be "sent up" to the major leagues. I was expecting "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" to be on at 10:00 p.m., but "Rookie" started at 8:00 and won't be over until 11:00. So that's where I've been.

George · « **Reply #165 on:** July 13, 2005, 10:23:20 PM »

The actual title is "The Rookie" and here's the synopsis from imdb.com:

When a shoulder injury ended his minor league pitching career twelve years ago, Jim Morris resorted to the next best thing: coaching. But Jim's team, knowing their coach is a great ball player, makes a deal with him: if they win the district championship, they want Jim to try out for a major-league organization. Going from worst to first, the team makes it to state, and Jim is forced to live up to his end of the deal. While there prove to be a lot of pitches to be thrown before he makes it off the mound, big-league dreams are revived, and there's no telling where he could go.

Fun to see all those lovely desserts, since I cannot eat them at this time.

Is this a slow news day here at haineshisway.com? WUSSBURGERS everywhere I look.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #168 on:** July 13, 2005, 11:11:50 PM »

I have no news.
I am listening to a Floyd Cramer Cd.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #169 on:** July 13, 2005, 11:12:50 PM »

It is of course Bastille Day today (Thursday).
Greetings to François.
I think he will be back in another week.

Speaking of CDs, I'm putting together some songs by The Manhattan Transfer for you, Tomovoz. I said that I would do this last week, but the 2-CD set that I was just going to copy, "The Manhattan Transfer Anthology: Down In Birdland," went missing.

I have no idea where it is, so I'm compiling songs from all of TMT's actual CDs. That's why I haven't sent anything yet. But I will!

Frankly, I don't understand these lengthy Francois absences.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #172 on:** July 13, 2005, 11:31:22 PM »

No hurry DR George.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #173 on:** July 13, 2005, 11:34:54 PM »

Floyd Cramer has been replaced by Sam Cooke.
