I guess I should stir.

Shaken would be all right, also.

But perhaps not this early.

Good morning, all.

1960s absurdist-type plays sounds good.

Mixed feelings about the frozen Marie Callender products. I guess I've only ever tried the pot pies, but I gave up on the chicken ones after finding gristle more than once, and I liked the turkey and the beef ones for quite a while. Then one day I found they had totally changed the "beef" pieces into something I couldn't even describe, so farewell to that. The turkey ones might still be okay, but I'm afraid I've moved on to other things.

I loved the restaurants, of which I believe only one or two remain (?), but I haven't been in one since 1987-89 when I enjoyed some satisfying meals at the "flagship" location on Wilshire which is now long gone. Sad, sad, sad.

Good to see the fat DR back online last night.

Groundhog Day was extremely well done. The producer's notes state that MTI approached them about being the first to do it in Connecticut, and I would say they stepped up to the plate just fine. And I liked the show itself.

Got a loaf of lemon cranberry bread in the oven.

I hope it’s okay. The baking powder was clumpy. I hope I sifted it all.

Popped in a third-rate noir called Jigsaw with Franchot Tone and a cast of forgotten character actors. People like Hester, not Gale, Sondergaard.

Lots of smoking and drinking. Love it.

John G. · « **Reply #43 on:** February 18, 2023, 10:17:53 AM »

Tone: I never drink alone.
Barkeep: That can be fixed. (Takes a big gulp.)

DR John, hmmm. While not great, I just finished reading The Music of Bees for my book group and liked it very much.

I went to visit a friend that has recently been moved from her home to memory care.

But when I got there, I found that my friend had been "signed out" by her niece for the weekend.

I am glad that my friend has a chance for a change of scenery, and now I know how to get there and what the protocols are.

Good books aren’t doing it for me.

Oops, guess you didn't want my suggestion

Yay, hello DR TCB. We do buy Walla Walla onions in the market when they are in season.

Jane · « **Reply #48 on:** February 18, 2023, 10:41:44 AM »

DR Singdaw, Henry is cute.

Jane · « **Reply #49 on:** February 18, 2023, 10:42:32 AM »

DR TCB you know we miss you and worry about you when you don't post.

After I finish one my 19th century novels, I feel it’s hard to get into something else.

From DR John:

I have started watching Winter’s Tale, a Colin Ferrell fantasy. It’s pretty bad. Russell Crowe at his worst. Well, he’s not singing here, so second worst.

I liked the novel. Until you mentioned the film I had put it out of my mind.

Jane · « **Reply #52 on:** February 18, 2023, 10:46:57 AM »

Yes John, the book was good

I first read that as, "They hated the bread and said it was delicious as usual."

The loaf sent to Maryland is still missing. Maybe DR Iris has it

John G. · « **Reply #55 on:** February 18, 2023, 10:49:27 AM »

The Bullet that Missed, the latest Thursday Murder Club mystery, has just come in. Maybe that’ll help.

singdaw · « **Reply #56 on:** February 18, 2023, 10:53:15 AM »

That's a fun read.

singdaw · « **Reply #57 on:** February 18, 2023, 10:53:43 AM »

Page Two is also a fun read.

singdaw · « **Reply #58 on:** February 18, 2023, 10:54:00 AM »

Page Three would be more fun.

singdaw · « **Reply #59 on:** February 18, 2023, 10:54:08 AM »

I think.
