It was a quiet gathering. One member’s mother died recently and it was the first time we’s seen her since. Another member is on the West Coast where her daughter just entered hospice.

That sad, especially about the daughter.

My father loved borscht. My mother made it with sour cream added at the end.

Jane · « **Reply #182 on:** April 16, 2023, 06:32:48 PM »

I tasted it once.

Jane · « **Reply #183 on:** April 16, 2023, 06:33:04 PM »

With or without meat, I do not eat borscht

On Friday a friend in the Bay Area called and asked about the tax deadline. He was confused. And I was confused. But we now know the skinny: Gov Newsom postponed the tax deadline to Oct 16 for all of us affected by the severe storms, which was most of the state. And the IRS agreed to make that the deadline for Federal returns as well (!!!). It was only when I did a web search which included the word "California" that the relevant information came up. I'm sure all of you non-Californians are just thrilled to know this. But at least this one mystery has been solved.

My father liked beet on his salad.

Jane · « **Reply #186 on:** April 16, 2023, 06:34:03 PM »

If beets are on my salad it is no longer eatable

That is very interesting, thank you.

Has anyone here been watching SUCCESSION? I have the impression I'm the only one not watching it.

It came with a side so I had a cup of the meat borscht

I didn't know there was such a thing, only borscht without meat.

Borsch was developed as a meat extender. It’s rich flavor is really all about the beef bones.

Very interesting, DR Jeanne!

singdaw · « **Reply #191 on:** April 16, 2023, 06:40:36 PM »

I have watched it, DR Jeanne, although I am not currently watching the new season.

That meal looked delicious, Vixmom.

I have a weird relationship with it. It's morbidly engaging. It's all a bunch of damaged people doing nasty and damaging things to each other.

It's kind of like you want to look away, but can't.

It's not for everyone.

Watching Thanks for the Memories with Bob Hope. In addition to that fine song, the movie features Two Sleepy People.

Living with Bill Nighy (a movie, not a series) has become available for streaming, and I am looking forward to seeing that.

Bones then, not junks of meat.
