I bet DR RODZINSKI has a 2006 Playbill Calendar!

Boy, did I read that wrong. I thought that you wrote that Rodzinski had a PLAYGIRL Calendar.

Hello from Chez Vixter! The Vixter & I both thank you for your kind thoughts.

She is feeling a little better but sounds very much like a little Sally Kellerman which is both cute and somewhat unsettling at the same time.....

Well, if she starts sounding like Mercedes McCambridge, then you had better worry.

I have questions for DR’s George, TCB, Jed and Ann.
How long a drive from Seattle are you?
Did you notice my post stating we will be in Seattle on July 1st?
Did I miss a response to said statement?

I did notice your post and I responded to your statement.

Depending on traffic, it can take me an hour to an hour and a half (at the most...so far) to go from Olympia to Seattle.

George · « **Reply #219 on:** November 02, 2005, 05:42:27 PM »

But then I usually cruise at 75 miles an hour for as long as I can.

Jed · « **Reply #220 on:** November 02, 2005, 05:47:01 PM »

About 45 minutes for us in Tacoma, maybe 30 on a really good day.

TCB · « **Reply #221 on:** November 02, 2005, 05:48:43 PM »

Jane, I'm sorry, I must have missed your earlier post I am about thrity five to forty five minutes away from Seattle. I would love to meet you next July, but hopefully something may come up sooner, where we could meet.

That's Mercedes doing the voice of Regan in "The Exorcist," not in her Oscar-winning role in "All the King's Men."

Tonight I discovered semi-frozen fresh broccoli doesn’t taste great when microwaved. Gosh spell check says microwaved isn’t a word. I’m using it anyway.

With one little hot-plate I can’t steam my veggies while cooking basmati & it needs to be toasted in olive oil first. Now I have typed a fragmented sentence. Sometimes I really don’t have time to fragment my sentences properly.

My point in babbling is.... I sure hope our spare refrigerator doesn’t give out on us before the new kitchen is completed. Yes, the new frig was installed, however, we still haven’t chosen new hardware for the cabinets and without hardware on our new sub-zero I can’t open it.

Most "spell check" features have limited vocabulary. Thus, we must edu-ma-cate them every chance we get.

"Microwaved" is most definitely a word...

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #226 on:** November 02, 2005, 06:04:20 PM »

For anyone who followed the "link" I posted in (and have since deleted from) my previous post, apologies.

It was a page that came up when I googled "microwaved." I read only the article and thought it interesting that a man in China, under directions from his doctor, actually "microwaved his penis" and burned it, necessitating parts of it be removed.

Other things on that page, though, were not something I'd willingly direct anyone toward.

Thus, anyone who might have been offended, I apologize.

Okay, I have to know how you do this. How much oil, and how long do you toast the basmati? Till it turns golden?

And then, do you cook it as instructed on the package??

And what taste difference does the toasting offer up??

Jane · « **Reply #229 on:** November 02, 2005, 06:45:09 PM »

Bryan just called. He was famished after his trip to Charlotte. Seems he couldn’t get a healthy vegetarian meal. Matt H, is it just the restaurants he was taken to, or is the town a steak & potatoes sort of place?

Ron my microwave will not work with the door open.

Jane · « **Reply #230 on:** November 02, 2005, 06:50:04 PM »

Ron my friend from India makes delicious basmati. She taught me to toast it in ghee, stirring constantly, until the pieces easily break in half, then add salt & double the amount of water. Simmer for 15 minutes. On a daily basis I prefer to use olive oil. I do a thick coat of oil (experiment to taste) depending on how much basmati I add. Now I just toast the basmati, stirring fairly often, until it looks about right.

George I was afraid I had missed a response. Thanks for making it convenient to read. How far are you from Tacoma?

Unless we change our minds and fly, we will be driving from Portland. We could find a convenient place along the way to meet. Are both Olympia & Tacoma off of I-5?

Sorry to hear about Lloyd Bochner.
I had the opportunity to work with him when he guested on a tv series I worked on.
He was one of the nicest and down to earth actors I every met. Up there with Angela Lansbury.

And did you know he was bald?!

I-5 goes through both Olympia and Tacoma. Tacoma is about half-way between Olympia and Seattle. Since there are three people in Tacoma and just little ol' me here, I'd be more than willing to drive up north a bit and have us all meet some place close to Jed, Ann and TCB. Not a problem at all.

And here's an easier link for Jane's touching story: http://news.bestfriends.org/index.cfm?page=specialreports&catid=04061773-BDB9-396E-9001EF6EC01318A4&mode=entry&entry=47BD5559-BDB9-396E-9336782DBDE8F039&stid=2

Not at all George. I was hoping someone would do that for me. Thank you.
