Four!

[John G.]

I need to play with the bird a little.

Indian pudding??

It's kind of ironic there's a "National" day for it, since as this board shows, few outside of New England have ever heard of it.

It's an old-fashioned New England dessert, a pudding made from cornmeal and molasses. The old Durgin Park restaurant used to serve it, but I don't know who does any more since they closed.

[MichaelG]

It was fun to try a couple of times, but I like chocolate and fruit desserts better.

The birthday dinner and meetup at Artie's is a wonderful eleven-year anniversary this week.

There's also a ten-year anniversary this very week:  the Kritzerland Richard Sherman fest at Triad in NYC.  Click to enlarge.

Another really fun night

[vixmom]

After which, DRs Elmore and Ben and Ginny and DH Richard (who am I leaving out? maybe no one?) and Kristi and Nathan and I went to a diner down the block or around the corner, I forget exactly where it was, and had the most delightful visit and conversation. Those were the days, man.

I believe i stayed for dinner too

[vixmom]

I was at both shows.

I remember Vixdad gifted me a hotel room for the weekend and I stayed at a place right by the world trade center before the viewing tower reopened

[vixmom]

I had the rest of my butternut squash soup today

[vixmom]

But a less fancy side, turkey & Muenster on a seeded brioche roll with a little mayo

[vixmom]

Oh! The Lidl near me carries Dukes!

[vixmom]

You were right, Jack, it's very nice

I thought you might have, but wasn’t sure.

MY question for ASK BK DAY......(and other HHW'ers.)

Do you speak/understand a language other than English?

I speak/understand Spanish - about 60%.

I also use Signed English Language.....but not ASL - American Sign Language - so much.

I usually understand French and Italian.  I can pick up the odd word or two in Greek.  And Latin...the "dead" language.

I believe we went to the Utopia on Amsterdam between 72 amd 73.

That sounds right. On Bing Maps it looked like it may be gone now, but I grabbed this street image from Google Maps. (I'm so happy when those sites don't get updated too quickly.)

As far as I know, the Utopia's still in business.

I slept for an additional 90 minutes. It was good.

I wish I had done that this morning.

[Jane]

Welcome home DR John.

Awww.  I expect so.

[Jrand74]

It once killed the Romans and now it's killing me.

[Jrand74]

My thermostat is now working.....Robin Williams the technician showed me how to reset the thing and also told me that it is powered by the system itself and didn't need to have batteries inside it.

The batteries are only there in case of power failure.....your system settings will stay set.

So I learned something.  And it was $59......BUT knowledge is power!

[Jrand74]

We are supposed to have rain all night.

It hasn't started here yet.

[Jrand74]

I wonder if DR JOHN G and JB are playing checkers?

[elmore3003]

Daniela Longo just posted a new video of the murdered raccoon Fred. Just a baby, and now I want a raccoon.

Good afternoon!

Sorry about your friend, DR Jrand.

Sorry about Salty, DR Jane.

I'm surprised you couldn't find that on Google.  As you said, at least you learned something which is a good thing. It is also good that you got him to see you so quickly.

It has been raining here since yesterday evening.

Sorry about Salty, DR Jane.

Thank you.
