DR vixmom posted this shot of "artist palette" cookies on FB and I thought they were so cute.

I also liked it.

Why does the electric dryer "run" for 5 to 10 minutes after the cycle is done?

Are you setting it on a timer?

Another favorite version with Kaye Ballard, Roberta Peters and Donna McKechnie

Hugh Martin’s vocal arrangement is perfection.

Jen brought in the new cat tree and Stella climbed all over it. She never cared much about the old one.

[Ron Pulliam]

I may watch that!

Are you, or any of you, aware of this?

Maybe she likes the "new" smell.

I am quite pleased that the new cat tree meets with approval.

I was not, until you let me know when it was first offered, and I have it.

[singdaw]

Hugh Martin’s vocal arrangement is perfection.

Indeed. And Amen.

[singdaw]

Did anyone say, "SIX"?

[singdaw]

Well, if not, I have said it. For the team.

[singdaw]

  Are you setting it on a timer?

Well, it runs on the pre-set cycle. and when the cycle ends, the heater runs for many minutes beyond that.

[Jane]

That's odd.  It might possibly be a cool down.  Are your clothes overdried?

The sensor on my electric dryer doesn't work great anymore.  I set a timer on my phone to check the clothes before I expect them to be done, and also to make sure the dryer hasn't shut off too soon.

[Jane]

This made me laugh.

Back from pasta papa, the mail place, and I stopped at an estate sale mere blocks from where I used to live in the City of Studio.

There was a lot of stuff and they seemed to be doing well, but no books, no CDs other than multiple copies of a Xmas CD - more about that in a minute. It didn't take me long to figure out whose house it was and that was confirmed when the woman taking the money said her name was Joely. One of the things I saw right away was a security thing for one of the STAGE benefits - first clew. Then there was some award for Connie Stevens - second clew. And then Joely as in Joely Fisher. Didn't see Connie there but pretty sure Tricia Leigh Fisher was. It was a LOT of clothes, and the Christmas CD was Joely, Tricia, and Connie doing Xmas favorites.

[John G.]

The Christmas CD sounds great.

[John G.]

I always like Connie Stevens. I saw her in I’m Getting My Act Together…

[John G.]

I watched half of My Fair Lady. Then the pain kicked in.

[John G.]

Audrey Hepburn is the best thing about the movie.

Charade was released the year before. But I wonder if she had been cast at that point. Cary Grant jokes about being on the street where you live.

I love Mary Testa!

[elmore3003]

The cat tree has been a huge success. Annabelle is asleep in the hammock, Thatch is in the second level where Stella was in the photos, and Stella is asleep on the ground floor. I'm sure the novelty is the new smell ab=nd the scents of various carpenters and workers who handled, packed and shippewd it.

[John G.]

Happy kitties.

Am curious as to the house.  Is it the house Connie bought that USED to be where Sonja Henie lived??  If so, when Connie bought it there were remnants of an ice skating rink on the upper floor.  And Connie, herself, reported on some show or other that the house had been haunted when she first bought it. She felt the ghost was Sonja.

[Ron Pulliam]

Audrey Hepburn is the best thing about the movie.

Well.....Andre Previn's scoring is brilliant, as are Cecil Beaton's art direction and costume design.

[Jane]

Audrey Hepburn is the best thing about the movie.

She is perfect in the role.  I for one am glad she was cast instead of Julie Andrews.

If you decide to, DR George, here's one recipe:

Cool!  Thanks!

I seem to recall that Debbie Shapiro Gravitte did the same on one of her albums.

There's a video with Debbie Shapiro, Rebecca Luker and Christine Ebersole:
