Page three - and before noon Eastern time! That's not bad for a Saturday.

For future generations of "Guests" looking at this, the HHW clock has been off by a number of minutes. It's still before noon Eastern time.

Eyes Without a Face is most excellent, as BK has advised on multiple occasions. I’m sorry it took me so long to watch it.

From the sublime to the ridiculous, I am returning to John Huston for a change. I just got a copy of The Barbarian and the Geisha, which, I guess, is Huston’s version of Pacific Overtures with John Wayne minus any intellectual insight.

I’m not watching anything, but my six-year-old is watching her favorite show, “Is it Cake.” She’s obsessed. Still have to see if we can go meet the Sikh baker from Surrey who won season 4.

This is cute. Is she also beginning to bake and decorate cakes?

Bruce, I'm glad your scan was fairly easy.

Glad to hear the CAT scan went so smoothly! I was surprised to hear you didn't feel warm with the dye - I sure as heck did when I had one a couple months ago. The heat only lasted a minute or so but it was pretty intense.

Wow, I'm sorry about that. I've never had a problem. If I have felt anything it has never been enough to remember it. Fortunately I have never had an allergic reaction to it.

There is an open house for the house across the street that is for sale. The OH will be 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

So ALL parking laws on the street will be null and void during those hours.....it's kind of like when someone has a yard sale.

Does this mean it will be difficult for you to go out and return?

Yesterday was Nathan's birthday, and the three of us did something he'd wanted to do, that I was doing for my first time ever, which was to go down the road to Danbury's decades-old duckpin (yes, duckpin) bowling alley and try our hands at it.

I had always failed abysmally at the couple of bowling attempts I'd ever made, but duckpin is smaller and easier, and as it turned out, my beginner's luck (which I've often had at various things) won me the match. It turned out to be a fun and relaxing and totally different way to spend a couple of hours, and we'll definitely do it again.

Only drawback, in my case, is that it aggravated some sciatic disturbance that I can still feel this morning. This was surprising, since the ball weighs only three pounds or so. But the activity and movements themselves showed up in my lower back just like certain outdoor work involving a lot of bending tends to do. I shall have to watch that in the future.

I'm sorry your body is feeling after effects from your fun outing.

Happy Birthday to Nathan!

ChasSmith, I wish you the best with your sciatica. Wish I could share with you the sciatica cream Amazon delivered yesterday. I haven’t tried it yet.

Vibes it works!

I found out that Yogi is a Keeshond.

I suspected as much but without seeing the entire body it was hard to be sure.

It has been off for a long while now

DR JANE it would be if I had any place I had to be.

There are EIGHT cars on both sides of the street, although one of them belongs to the realtor ... so lots of interest ... since the open house just started 10 minutess ago.

Oh....someone else just pulled up.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #75 on:** February 22, 2025, 10:32:40 AM »

Hot time on DR Jrand74's street today.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #76 on:** February 22, 2025, 10:33:04 AM »

They got an open bar over there?

Last night's repast was from a local barbecue jernt we love (https://hoodoobrownbbq.com) - which purports to be Texan in origin, but there's nothing tomato-based. Perhaps DR John G. can help out here. The sauce/seasonings (which are to die for, don't get me wrong) are vinegar-based, for the meat as well as a few of the sides.

When it comes to BBQ, I love it all. But as brisket is kind of the main event here (yes, they have pork, too), and there isn't any tomato-based sauce as far as I could tell, this would definitely seem to be Carolina style in my book. Or am I just showing off my ignorance?

What about dry-rub? I mainly remember that from the Memphis area. I don't really know these divisions like I should.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #78 on:** February 22, 2025, 10:43:59 AM »

Best collard greens I've ever had. Nothing comes close. I could eat this every day. But HELL, I could eat like this in general every day.

Best slaw, too. I have nothing to even compare it with. Except for a few times when you might want the creamy style, this might as well be my go-to.

Be sure to show up at the open house and pretend to be a nosy neighbor, JRand. People LOVE that.

Jrand, maybe you can send over your friend who goes by "Gladys Kravitz" on FB to act like a nosy neighbor.

Reviews have been so-so for the Mary Wollstonecraft bio musical in Hull, coming to London soon. Mary and the Hyenas.

I don't remember IV's being painful. Not particularly pleasant, but not painful. At my last colonoscopy, my hand was so dehydrated that they used my inner elbow -- where they take blood out for the lab and donations. I've been blessed with a really good vein there.

I am hosting a group at the church this afternoon, so Kerry's mixer has been whirling today.

I made: a lemon blueberry cake; snickerdoodles, brownies, pretzel bites, and baba ganoush.

Laura · « **Reply #87 on:** February 22, 2025, 11:13:25 AM »

We don't have any vegans in this bunch that I know of, so I made the pretzel bites with butter and an egg wash. Oh my goodness. So much better than using just olive oil.

Laura · « **Reply #88 on:** February 22, 2025, 11:14:05 AM »

Eggs are so expensive that I saved the rest of the egg to put in with my eggs tomorrow morning.

TOD: Genghis Cohen, interestingly. Loved the green beans especially.
