Yesterday I noticed their Caramelized Onion and purchased a jar just in case I didn't have enough sauce.

[Jane]

As planned we used the Tomato Basil for coating the pan, rolled the eggplant with the angel hair petso filling with the intention of topping it with the basil sauce.  Instead we opened the caramelized onion and it was so delicious we used it instead.

SIX!

I now have a cake to bake.  We are having issues with our oven and only the bottom is heating up.  Wish me luck.

Damn. All along, I'd been forgetting this, but DR Laura's comment about her crown made me remember:

Once when I had a temporary crown on a molar way back in my mouth, I had a lot of irritation in the gum or cheek for the next day or two, and it took me a while to get the idea to look in there with a flashlight to see if I could see anything. Indeed, there was a piece of something tooth-colored kind of sticking out of the gum around the wisdom tooth next to the crown, so I got my finger back there and found out it would move. I thought it wasn't really part of anything, but even if it was, I had to find out so I began pulling on it. Sure enough, it began coming out from under the gum and it turned out to be a long sort of spirally piece of -- I dunno -- some material obviously left in there by mistake. Maybe a glue thing, who knows. It seemed to have nothing to do with the crown, but it had been cutting into my cheek and feeling like a bad canker sore. Well, everything IMMEDIATELY felt better, felt right, and that little episode was all over.

Having now remembered that, I can't wait to hear what BK's issue turns out to be.

I rinsed it off and kept it for a couple of days, thinking I'd show the dentist, but I finally said why bother, who cares, it's resolved. But I wonder if I took a picture of it. Hmm...

Yikes! I can't imagine something like that under a crown (which I've never had, so I can't really imagine a crown, either).

I suspect when the huge amount of Novocain wears off there will be a lot of pain. The culprit was tartar - a HUGE piece stuck up there. He thinks he got most of it out of there but boy did he have to work at it. From what little I can feel, it's still is a bit swollen but that's probably natural - he said about 70% was already down, swollen-wise, and he wants me to do the warm salt water thing later, so I will, even though I hate it. I'm going to attempt to take two Tylenol now, but am worried that I won't be able to swallow properly yet - we'll see. He also gave me a prescription for amoxicillin  if I need it. Up to me. So, we'll see how I'm feeling after rehearsal ends. If it's okay I won't get it, if it's really painful, I will go to CVS. I do believe all medicines are covered by insurance, so it's free.

Another Yikes!

One time, many years ago, I had to have the "deep" cleaning where they numb my gums and really scrape down deeper than usual.  I guess I changed my ways because I haven't had to have that done again.

[George]

It didn't hurt while it was going on, and I don't remember feeling much of anything after the numbing wore off...fortunately.

[George]

Obviously, no food until after rehearsal. I would love some creamy tomato soup but I'm sure the idiotic nearby Gelson's won't have it. On the other hand, it's clam chowder day everywhere so I might have a bowl of that from someplace.

Vibes that you get through rehearsal OK.

~~~DITTO!!~~~

And I need to cut out carbs again.

There are no carbs in Christmas cookies. At least I keep trying to tell myself that.

AND if the cookies break, they no longer have any calories!

[George]

Her brother had the most hilarious story about his Thanksgiving. He and his wife hosted her family. Apparently his nephew’s wife picked up his phone for some reason and discovered that he was having an affair. A scene ensued in front of the whole gathering.

TRIPLE YIKES!!

But of course.

[George]

Then I stopped at Gelson's and they DID have my creamy tomato soup, so I got some and had that for food - easy to swallow and negotiate.

That's great, BK.

[George]

The only tartar I want comes on fried fish.

Exactly!

[George]

Well, here's Spock. With a glock. On a cock. On a block.

I’m watching Meet Me in St. Louis. I’m enjoying it more than ever. Don’t know why, but every moment is perfect. I’m up to the Halloween sequence.

[Freddie]

I now have a cake to bake.  We are having issues with our oven and only the bottom is heating up.  Wish me luck.

Vibes the cake turns out great!

Is it true the calories fly out when the cookies break?

They only have tricks in the movie. Laura wouldn’t be able to give frozen baba ganoush to the kids.

[George]

And now, I'm off to work concessions for God is a Scottish Drag Queen: The Christmas Edition!

It's gonna be great!

[John G.]

But why, when Hugh Marlowe drops off Lucille Bremer, why does he have two Dalmatians tied yo the back of his buggy?

I don't know, but you're a mere 22 posts from a new millstone!

[John G.]

There is an actual explanation for the Dalmatians. And it includes the clip from the movie.

I’m making a blueberry-raspberry crisp. It says to bake in an 8x8 pan. So, of course, the photo shows a 9x13 pan.

[John G.]

Can we get to BK’s favorite page?

[John G.]

The scene of Leon Ames and Mary Astor singing Through the Years always gets me.
