Or maybe it was the cocktail of all three.

I should think it could easily be that, even if each one taken individually wouldn't have had any effect on you.

Freddie, there were a few times that you and I replied to each other. 😊


:) Hope it was always friendly!  Did we ever chat about Sondheim in the Times comments?

Always friendly!

I know that there was a comment that I made that was published on the date that Sondheim passed away, where you and another reader responded.

I stopped submitting comments after several unpleasant altercations regarding the October 7 massacre in Israel. I am the daughter of Holocaust survivors, and many of my surviving relatives live in Israel.

Iris, did we already know each other on HHW back when you were posting in the Times comments?

I think so! 😊

I guess it didn't come up in my search because I didn't refer directly to your screen name in my comment.

Should I tempt fate and ask if we ever chatted on All That Chat (Talkin' Broadway)? (which is where I was all gaga about actually conversing with Bruce Kimmel!  I didn't realize then that he'd met Skip years earlier)

I read All That Chat, but I’ve never posted there. Way too much drama for me!

“Taco shells made from the crust underneath paella filled with hominy and avocado.”

John G., I love the way this was plated.

Are those resting on a bed of coffee beans?

Uncooked black beans. Yes, I think that is one of my best food photos. Thank you.

Oh, those are beans! Wonderful photo!
Maybe they’re really magic, who knows? 😉

Listening to a biography of physicist Roger Penrose, who revolutionized the theory of relativity. It's called The Impossible Man. I don't know that I understand everything it's about, but it's a fascinating story of a genius who doesn't quite fit in. He's British, but taught at UT Austin at the time of the Kennedy assassination. San Antonio is even mentioned once or twice.

Note to George, my cc company informed me they judged in my favor regarding the fraud “Tower Records-Big Lots” purchase. So I was refunded. I assume you did not receive any of what you ordered. Let your cc company know, and I’d suggest replacing that card.

Decided to go out this afternoon for the Covid booster. I'd intended to do it back in the late fall, then my schedule went crazy and then Nathan had Covid a few weeks ago so I had to let that pass. But it's ketchup time around here, and I'm getting that this afternoon.

I still need to get the shingles vax and I'll probably get the RSV, too. But I'm doing them one at a time. I know you can stack 'em, and DR Elmore just did two of them successfully, but if I'm to have any reaction at all (usually a day of mild fatigue), I just want to know which one was responsible.

I don't know how successful since I definitely had a reaction to shingles or Covid. I may hold off on the hepatitus until March when I get shinglews #2.

My neighbor Mark, the jazz pianist, is a nice guy but a pain in the ass. Judy sent him over for a request and he stupidly let Stella out. Now I have to go find her. God damn it.

Well, I opened the door to step out and Stella walked right in. The least Mark could have done is retrieve her. He and Judy have three cats.

I generally have a gag reflex as soon as a spoon of it goes into my mouth
