It's amazing how many presents a 3 year old can get. I guess when you invite 60+ people to various parties you will get lots of gifts!

She is obcessed with cinderella.  And playdough.  And watching little dora movies on the wall.

And her new build-a-bear. i'm not sure if they have that in the US (i'm guessing yes). You pick a stuffed animal that has no stuffing in it. They stuff it for you while you wait and you buy it clothes.

My niece has gone to the store a few times and wanted this panda (which is always sold out). So they got more in. And she dressed it like cinderella. Oy!  It looks pretty funny though.

My mom bought her this plastic jewelry kit from costco and she is obcessed with that too. We played it on friday night and she said, "oh thank you so much for coming to my house to play jewelrys".  Actually it was fun!

And the emmys 8-11pm+.

Here we also have the first hour of tomorrow's HEROES. I"m not sure exactly what it is. But i'm glad it's on today because tomorrow is 2hour HEROES/2 hour DANCING WITH THE STARS, and GOSSIP GIRL/ONE TREE HILL.

re: the salad bar thing (in grocery stores).

I guess it's what you're used to. Cause the idea of having areas to eat in the stores also surprised me. Although when i thought about the IGA here (that has all the already made foods) does have a small seating section.

It also seems weird that at $6/8/lb it could be cheaper to buy the salad bar than buy the stuff for a salad to make yourself. Here you can get a whole head of lettuce (or lettuce in a bag) for $1.

My DS and I went for a very early breakfast at Denny's. At another table, a couple of obnoxious men were giving the waitress a hard time. They not only stiffed her a tip, but tried to get out of paying most of their bill (which was under ten dollars anyway).

Good morning, all! DR FJL, I'll meet you at 12:30 outside 37 Arts, and I'm looking forward to the show and visiting with you.

This morning I've got some shopping for groceries and a bit of proofing on the HUCK FINN. Around 11:30 I think I'll start walking down 9th Avenue to the show. I don't believe I'll walk the entire way, but I'd like to get to 57th Street at least before boarding a 9th Avenue bus.

I had the longest night's sleep I've had in months, and it was nice. Of course, I'm running behind this morning on things I wanted to accomplish, but it's nice to sleep in for a change, even when unplanned. The continuing cool weather helps.

I will record the Emmys, but I can't spare those hours to watch it live. I'll be continuing with watching CSI: NY episodes trying to get through the box before street date on Tuesday. I should make it easily, but I'll miss the street date for that Danny McBride comedy film and for FRIDAY THE 13TH-The Series which I also have to review.

I don't believe any of us said it was cheaper to buy from the salad bar, in fact, it's much more expensive - in the long run - to buy from a salad bar than it is if you started from scratch.  The salad bar is a "convenience", and sometimes it's worth the extra cents (and dollars) to have all your salad fixings pre-washed and pre-chopped and pre-sliced for you.  -Instead of having to buy a whole head of lettuce, and then not eating all of it before it starts to go bad in the fridge.

I just returned from said Flea Market and had a very good time. I saw but did not speak to Mr. Spiritas. He was otherwise occupied but I did see many good friends and a former Dear Poster who knows another former Dear Poster. LC (many of you may not remember her) who knows Jason. They don't know each other except for a couple of quick meetings years ago but she does know who Jason is. LC was talking to a merch person who was talking about Avenue Q and I mentioned Jason and that's how the whole thing started. New York is really a small town when it comes to theatre and theatre-related people.

Jose, you're right about bags of bargins going unused. Yes, the money goes to a good cause but if it's sitting in a bag for a year it doesn't do much good.

My niece and nephew are becoming musical theatre geeks (thanks to their funny uncle) so I bought my nephew a Lion King t-shirt from the Chicago company and a DVD highlights of Jersey Boys (his parents have OKed it) and I bought my niece Legally Blonde stationary and the CD sampler from LB and I got for both of them a CD sampler of hits from Lion King, Little Mermaid and Mary Poppins. I got myself a copy of Lovemusik for $10. It was a good trip uptown.

Oh, yes, I also got my ticket to Billy Elliot. I'm seeing it on October 14th from the last row of the Balcony ($41.50) at the Imperial Theatre. The box office isn't open yet for Shrek so I don't have a ticket yet. I'm waiting to see what kind of mailer or TDF offer might appear. I have to print out the Playbill discount for All My Sons since it's not yet appeared on TKTS. And then, later in the season there is White Christmas. I'm so busy I've exhausted myself  8)

I don't believe any of us said it was cheaper to buy from the salad bar, in fact, it's much more expensive - in the long run - to buy from a salad bar than it is if you started from scratch.  

I think that depends on the nature of the ingredients and how often in a given week you intend to have salad.

If your idea of salad is one kind of lettuce, some tomato and a dressing, fine. But if you like a mix of greens, cucumbers, onions, mushrooms, beets, etc. and don't plan on more than four salad servings in a week, the salad bar can be less expensive. (We often go with the bagged mixed greens augmented with a selection from the salad bar - and I like the pickled beets and marinated mushrooms!) After my salad is served I often augment it with avocado and anchovies.

Back from church, lunch at Chipotle, and a bit more Krogering.

I wish we could go to the BC/EFA Flea Market for some small items for my contribution to my department's Staff Day raffle basket.  We're doing "Our Favorite Things" and I'm doing an "I <heart> New York" gift.  So far, I have a tin that says "Hershey's Times Square," that I'll fill with kisses, and 3 bookmarks.  Anyone want to contribute anything else?

I decided upon the NYC theme after ruling out raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens.

I watched Thursday night's SMALLVILLE while I cooked and ate lunch. A pretty good episode with the return of Justin Hartley as Oliver Queen as a regular on the show rather than as a recurring character. He will be a hunky addition to the cast. And I always love to see Alan Ritchson as Aquaman even if he didn't get much screen time. He's been working out A LOT since he was last on the show! He had the best physique of any of the guys.







Show was pretty good until Clark was swooped up as he was dying, and then the writing went to pot. We never saw how the others escaped from where they were being held, and the explanation of healing Clark just didn't make any sense. Yes, our sun is what has given Clark his powers; that's straight from the mythology of the comics, but the sun is the sun whether it's 93 million miles away for 60 million miles away. Why wasn't it restoring his powers all along? Just stupid writing.

Then I watched three more episodes of CSI: NY. All of them were entertaining. (I meant to mention last night that in the Halloween episode, Bruce Dern, once an Oscar-nominated actor, had about a three minute throwaway part as a cemetery maintenance man. He didn't figure into the mystery or anything. Baffling that a wonderful actor would be tossed such a nothing role.)

Speaking of salads, when you mentioned Grapefruit sections, all I could think of was Louella Parsons when she lunched daily at the Brown Derby.  The Brown Derby had introduced a signature dessert (an orange chiffon cake that was a top secret recipe for about 30 years -- all of them baked by this sweet little queen in his kitchen and delivered to the Brown Derby and various stars' homes for parties, a fascinating story, actually -- he wouldn't even give the recipe to Eleanor Roosevelt despite her demands).   Since "Lolly" was fat and boozy, she decided that that it would be fewer calories if it were a grapefruit chiffon cake because as she so wisely stated, "Everyone knows you lose weight by eating grapefruit."   Have another drink, Louella.

Traffic in this City seems to be more screwed up than ever , since the city government seems to be apathetic about it, and it's ridiculous. After walking DR FJL to his door, a bus arrived, completely packed, so I refused to join the others who desperately, and stupidly in my opinion, force themselvesonto an already packed vehicle.  After another 15 minute wait and watching three empty buses going uptown with NEXT VEHICLE PLEASE on their banners, I figured fuckit and took a taxi.  It was 4:00 EST so the matinees were still in performance and I have no idea why 10th Avenue was so packed with traffic today.

As to ABOUT FACE, another good show with great potential, two really wonderful duets, good cast, great direction and choreography, and I wish it well. I think it needs trimming and tightening in Act Two, but it's in very good shape. Afterwards I said hello to Barbara Walsh and Pam Myers, who introduced me to Heather Macrae. Before the show, I saw Bruce Doctor, who played percussion, and his wife sat with DR FJL and me.  In the audience I saw my friends Peter Filichia, Janet Watson, and Mark Falconer. It was all quite festive.

Classic Orange Chiffon Cake

Serving Size: 16

Jean Anderson, in The American Century Cookbook, says a California hobby
cook named Harry Baker invented the chiffon cake and baked it for
Hollywood functions and the famed Brown Derby restaurant. He wouldn't
divulge the secret to his high-rising cake until he sold the recipe to
General Mills in 1947. The secret was vegetable oil, and General Mills, in
the company's 1950 Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook, called it the "first
new cake in a hundred years.'' This recipe is from Anderson's book.

Cake
5 Egg whites
1/2 teaspoon Cream of tartar
1 pk Yellow cake mix
3 Egg yolks
3/4 cup Orange juice
1/2 cup Vegetable oil
1/4 cup Frozen orange juice
Concentrate
1 teaspoon Grated orange peel

Glaze
2 cups Confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons Orange juice

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Cake: Place the egg whites and cream of tartar
in a medium bowl. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2-3
minutes Place cake mix, egg yolks, orange juice, oil, orange juice
concentrate and orange peel in large bowl. Beat on low speed 1 minute.
Stop. Scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula. Increase speed to
medium. Beat 2 minutes Batter should look well blended. Turn beaten egg
white out on top of batter. fold whites into batter until mixture is light
but well combined. Pour batter into ungreased 10" tube pan, smoothing top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and top of cake springs back
when lightly pressed with tip of finger. Remove pan from oven and
immediately turn upside down on the neck of a glass bottle to cool for 1
hour. run long, sharp knife around edge of cake. Invert onto wire rack.
then invert again onto serving platter, right side up.

Glaze: Place confectioners' sugar and orange juice in medium bowl. Beat on
low speed 1 minutes. Spread glaze over top and sides of cake. Let glaze
set for 20 minutes. Slice and serve.

No, I didn't.

Then I walked on down to Madison Square Park for dessert.

And now I think I'm going to walk down to Union Square to check out clearance sale, of sorts, at Virgin.

The Sara Lee Heritage
Sara Lee was 8 years old when Charlie Lubin, a bakery entrepreneur, decided to name his new line of cheesecakes after his daughter, Sara Lee. His company was purchased in 1956 by Consolidated Foods, where Mr. Lubin continued to serve as a senior executive for many years. In 1985, Consolidated Foods changed its name to Sara Lee Corporation. Although Sara Lee has never had a management role at the corporation, she has appeared in some television advertisements for our bakery products. In her words, her father told her the product “had to be perfect because he was naming it after me.” Today Sara Lee is a philanthropist who spends most of her time supporting the education and advancement of women and girls in science.

Alex Rybeck sent me a joke!

A teacher in Elmira , New York , who is a McCain supporter, asked her
4th grade class, "How many of you are McCain fans?"

Not really knowing what a McCain fan is, but wanting to be liked by the
teacher, all the kids raised their hands, except for Little Johnny.

The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different.
Little Johnny said, "Because I'm not a McCain fan."

The teacher asked, "Why aren't you a McCain fan?"

Johnny said, "Because I'm a Democrat."

The teacher asked him why he's a Democrat. Little Johnny answered,
"Well, my Mom's a Democrat and my Dad's a Democrat, so I'm a D emocrat."

Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, "If your mom was a moron and
your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?"

With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, "That would make me a McCain
fan."

DR Kerry got me curious!    :)

Classic Orange Chiffon Cake

Serving Size: 16

Jean Anderson, in The American Century Cookbook, says a California hobby
cook named Harry Baker invented the chiffon cake and baked it for
Hollywood functions and the famed Brown Derby restaurant. He wouldn't
divulge the secret to his high-rising cake until he sold the recipe to
General Mills in 1947. The secret was vegetable oil, and General Mills, in
the company's 1950 Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook, called it the "first
new cake in a hundred years.'' This recipe is from Anderson's book.

Cake
5 Egg whites
1/2 teaspoon Cream of tartar
1 pk Yellow cake mix
3 Egg yolks
3/4 cup Orange juice
1/2 cup Vegetable oil
1/4 cup Frozen orange juice
Concentrate
1 teaspoon Grated orange peel

Glaze
2 cups Confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons Orange juice

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Cake: Place the egg whites and cream of tartar
in a medium bowl. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2-3
minutes Place cake mix, egg yolks, orange juice, oil, orange juice
concentrate and orange peel in large bowl. Beat on low speed 1 minute.
Stop. Scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula. Increase speed to
medium. Beat 2 minutes Batter should look well blended. Turn beaten egg
white out on top of batter. fold whites into batter until mixture is light
but well combined. Pour batter into ungreased 10" tube pan, smoothing top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and top of cake springs back
when lightly pressed with tip of finger. Remove pan from oven and
immediately turn upside down on the neck of a glass bottle to cool for 1
hour. run long, sharp knife around edge of cake. Invert onto wire rack.
then invert again onto serving platter, right side up.

Glaze: Place confectioners' sugar and orange juice in medium bowl. Beat on
low speed 1 minutes. Spread glaze over top and sides of cake. Let glaze
set for 20 minutes. Slice and serve.

It was pretty much his occupation baking hundreds of cakes a day out of his house (with an "assistant") for a number of years).  The guy had been an insurance salesaman or something in some other state, had a family but got caught doing something to someone in a men's room.  It being the early 20's he skipped town.  His family did not know his whereabouts until years after he died.   He was obsessed with keeping the recipe a secret to the point of disposing of the vegetable oil bottles (since that's what made the cake lighter and fluffier).  It's one of those stories you read and wonder if the man ever knew true happiness.

He is touring in his one man show based on this book. He is a hoot and a wonderful evening in the theater. So if it comes your way I recommend it. LJ stays after the shows and sells his books, takes pictures and meets and greets.

He came to Richmond a few years ago to perform in his other show, Hysterical Blindness and Other Southern Tragedies That Have Plagued My Life Thus Far.  First of all, what a very funny show, and what a very funny man.

What was really kind of endearing was that he actually came to Richmond to do the show for a very small company in a very small theatre, and for basically no money.

Yes, that story broke last week.  And a true tragedy.  The company added a chemical to the milk so that it would test higher for protein content.  Alas, it also made it poisonous to the children it was meant to nourish.

Well, they keep talking about how they're running short on time - which is why everyone keeps getting cut off during their acceptance speeches  - but then they just spent a good five minutes - and a commercial break! - announcing the nominees for Best Reality Television Series Host.  Thankfully(!), the bit was sort of funny.

By now, it's 10 p.m. so I go to the DVR and start speeding through the Emmys (They had already been on two hours at that point.) I was only interested in seeing which nominees were there and who won and listening to the speeches if I liked the winner.

At any rate, by 10:23, I had caught up to the show! That's two hours and twenty-three minutes of show that I watched in 23 minutes! It's the ONLY way to watch a show like this.

I watched TRUE BLOOD.  Yep, it was the best episode yet, but, knowing the novels, there are still better things to come. . .finally, a mention of Eric.
Lois Smith certainly knows the art of acting.

Then I caught up with another Hitchcock film which I had never seen:  THE WRONG MAN.  It's very sad and melancholic.  I've never been a Henry Fonda fan, but Vera Miles' performance is perfect.

*And I'm sorry I called it a "tribute".  It appeared to be being set up that way, but then... So, yes, you can blame me.  However, Tommy Smothers was not there to be funny.  He was there to accept a "postponed" Emmy award.

I'm listening to Take Flight.  I saw this at, I think, its first workshop or reading or whatever it was.  Not much has changed, I must say.  I love David's music, but this isn't his finest hour and you'd think after eight years it would have gotten better.  Richard's lyrics are fine, but as with a lot of his lyrics I find they're technically proficient and filled with good craft, but somehow just don't enhance characters.

The show's big ballad has been turned into a duet - it was a female solo when I saw it.  The tune, for those who know their Shire or who have David Shire At The Movies CD know that the glorious tune was not written for Take Flight, but for the film Old Boyfriends.

The voices on this recording are okay but not stellar.  When I saw it either Rebecca Luker or Christiane Noll sang it (can't remember which).

I hope some of last season's cliffhanger issues are resolved right off!

Me, too!  I'll definitely be watching this. :D

I'm watching Jimmy Kimmel's Big Night Stars and most of it's very funny...for the most part.  I just don't get the humor of Tracey Morgan.  The Michael Phelps segment was cute and Selma Hayak was very funny!  I haven't watched the last part with the five reality hosts of the Emmys, yet.  I just remembered that I've seen a "leaked" clip of the fight between the hosts. :)

Hint: it wasn't Sue Ellen!

I just finished the Jimmy Kimmel special.  Except for Tracey Morgan, it was quite funny!
