Title: PIT-A-PAT
Post by: bk on April 12, 2010, 12:06:44 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a little pit and a little pat with an emphasis on the latter, and now it is time for you to post until the pit-a-pat cows come home.

Post by: Ben on April 12, 2010, 03:08:42 AM: The airline talking about charging for using the toilet is

Ryan Air (http://www.ryanair.com/en)

They are a Dublin (Ireland) based, very, very low fare airline. They don't even operate in the U.S. Paying to use a toilet is more widespread in Europe so people are used to the idea. It has caused some concern but the owner of Ryan Air has mentioned this possibility before. He may go through with it at some point but it won't change the face of airline travel. I've flown Ryan Air. Believe me, paying to use the toilet is the least of your worries.

Spirit Airlines is the only airline charging for carry-on luggage. The other airlines have not yet begun to charge as well.

"David Castelveter, a spokesman at Air Transport Association, which represents the leading U.S. airlines, said he's not aware of any ATA members charging for carry-on luggage."

The lobby is also adorned with 50's sci fi posters, and the refreshment area is decked out like a movie theater refreshment stand, it's very nice and appropriate, and there seemed to be plenty of volunteers to do everything. It's a very nice set up.

Post by: Jrand74 on April 12, 2010, 05:22:34 AM: Elizabeth Taylor is engaged - and yesterday's posts from MR BK reminded me of this story, which I have related before -

Elizabeth Taylor had just won the Academy Award for Butterfield 8 and was being flooded with movie offers...including one million dollars for CLEOPATRA. A group of Hollywood types was sitting at a table in Vegas saying what they would offer her to be in a movie - since it was a foregone conclusion that it would make money.

One man said he would offer $500,000 - another said he would offer $500,000 plus a percentage of the gross. Buddy Hackett said that he would offer her $1000. The others at the table expressed astonishment and Hackett replied:

"I would offer her $1000. She would say 'Kiss my ass' - and that's all I wanted anyway."

TOD:

Films: "Babette's Feast," "Tampopo" (the "noodle" western), and at the top of the list, "Big Night." There have been numerous food scenes from Anita Morris covered in whipped cream in "The Happy Hooker" to "Monty Python's Meaning of Life" in which the guy eats so much he explodes. I also loved the scene in "GoodFellas" where Paul Sorvino cuts the garlic with a razor.

On TV, I loved "The Twilight Zone" episode "To Serve Mankind." And though I never saw it, I loved Cole Porter's shopping list song in "Come to the Supermarket in Old Peking" in "Aladdin."

I'm sure I'm forgetting tons of them, but there was a culinary group in town that, as a fund-raiser, staged what they called "Meals on Reels," in which scenes from foodie films were shown in between courses. The event died after the second or third year beccause they had exhausted the supply.

I don't know that i've ever tried buffalo wings. I have recipes for them. And last time i was making wings i was going to try them. But when i tasted the hot sauce i just hated it. The pictures of all the buffalo wings i've seen look so good. So i'm not sure if i'm making the sauce wrong.

The terriyaki one looks good but i don't have a lot of the ingredients.

I wonder what wings would taste like on the BBQ.

Last time I had a similar dream scenario, I resolved the matter by singing a song. I wasn't there to sing a song. And it was certainly funny to dream about doing it. I recall singing it a capella, and then listening to a playback and being amazed/surprised/miffed that there was an orchestral accompaniment and that I was singing in a different key.

Go know why anyone was recording it!

I 'spect they'd taste the same as they would if you were sitting in a chair. Only you'd likely get grease on your clothes and a hot behind if the BBQ is fired up.

I am trying to find a good easy recipe for chicken wings. Right now i'm on allrecipes.com. Hopefully i will find something good.

Here's the original recipe:

http://www.savorsa.com/2009/09/buffalo-wings-the-original-from-the-anchor-bar/

And a version if you want them baked instead of fried. This one has a teriyaki sauce:

http://www.savorsa.com/2009/09/teriyaki-wings-a-little-gooey-isnt-a-bad-thing/

Thanks.

I don't know that i've ever tried buffalo wings. I have recipes for them. And last time i was making wings i was going to try them. But when i tasted the hot sauce i just hated it. The pictures of all the buffalo wings i've seen look so good. So i'm not sure if i'm making the sauce wrong.

The terriyaki one looks good but i don't have a lot of the ingredients.

I wonder what wings would taste like on the BBQ.

Just fine. Baste or brush them with your own sauce. They'll cook faster than a full chicken, that's all.

This coming Friday on BBC Radio 2 they are doing a special Bollywood Music Program.

Here is the program description:

"This is India! The land of dreams and romance, of fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty, of splendor and rags, of palaces and hovels, of famine and pestilence, of genii and giants and Aladdin lamps, of tigers and elephants, the cobra and the jungle, the country of a hundred nations and a hundred tongues, of a thousand religions and two million gods, cradle of the human race, birthplace of human speech, mother of history, grandmother of legend, great-grandmother of tradition" Mark Twain.

In this Friday Night Special - "From Hollywood to Bollywood" live from London Symphony Orchestra St Lukes in London - Hardeep Singh Kohli presents a selection of musical pictures of India - from classical composers like Rimsky Korsakov (Song Of India) and Elgar (Crown of India Suite) to the big Hollywood film scores for Gandhi (George Fenton) and Passage to India (Maurice Jarre). We'll recall the films of Sabu including Miklos Rozsa's 1942 score to "The Jungle Book". Robert Ziegler conducts the BBC Concert Orchestra who are joined by some traditional Bollywood singers and the award winning composer and percussionist Kuljit Bhamra. East meets West when Kuljit and his ensemble join the 60 piece BBC Concert Orchestra for some of Bollywood's greatest hits including songs from "Bombay Dreams" and "Jai Ho" from "Slumdog Millionaire".

During the concert interval BBC Asian Network presenters Pablo and Raj talk to composer A.R. Rahmin.

The program will air live on Friday, April 16th at 11am YOUR TIME. It's 8pm London time and 2pm NY time. If you can't listen to it live you have a week to listen to it at your leisure on the BBC iPlayer. It will be on the iPlayer until April 23rd. You need RealPlayer on your system to listen to the BBC on line, whether you are streaming live or listening to the iPlayer.

Doesn't quite work out the way the author wants it to. In the south, at least, plane trees seem to drop branches as much as they drop leaves. They wreaked havoc at a friend's house in Florida, and I had one removed from my backyard when I moved into this house in Texas. A lovely (and yes, pollen causing) apricot tree is growing in its place.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on April 12, 2010, 11:21:25 AM: TOD: The TV show "Friends" featured several episodes that were centered on food preparation....Thanksgiving episodes, especially...and one particularly memorable episode in which Brad Pitt was the guest star.

One episode was memorable due to the appearance of Jon Lovitz in Season 1's "The One with the Stoned Guy". He plays a restaurateur who gets stoned on marijuana just prior to interviewing Monica Geller for a job. Monica has spent all day preparing a meal to impress him, and even hires Rachel to assist in serving. Phoebe is dispatched to pick him up in her grandmother's cab. We learn he toked a doobie on the way to Monica's apartment.

When he arrives, Monica is telling him all about her menu which includes an amuse bouche appetizer to be followed by onion tartlets. Meanwhile, Lovitz (as "Steve") has the munchies and begins ransacking the kitchen for things, fighting Monica over cereal and Gummi Bears, some of which fall into a special soup she has prepared.

I still can't decide what i am going to do. I could use a rib/chicken sauce i like. But then i would have to make it.

I've never just used dry spices on my wings. I'm afraid i won't like them.

Last time i tried a buffalo style batter. But had to scrap the sauce cause i hated the taste of it (glad i tasted it before putting on the wings). So i just put the rib/chicken sauce on it. But that would require a lot of work.

I sort of want something easy that would be tasty. I may do the BBQ. Not sure about that part yet.

Oh, the deer just live in the yard in the winter. That comment really didn't bother me. I can understand why people think they are a nuisance.

I see that the Tony-winning musical NEXT TO NORMAL has won this year's Pulitzer Prize for Drama. I love when a musical wins this prize.

Cool! There used to be a theater group here in Olympia that did its own annual "Magic of Broadway" revue (very cheap to produce ;)). They ususally picked a couple of composers/song writing teams and did revues with their material. One year (this was in the late 1990s, very early 2000s), I was asked if I had an idea that they could do...something different than what they'd been doing. I suggested doing the musicals that had won the Pulitzer Prize for drama! They loved the idea. By this time, Rent had won the award and was only the seventh musical to win. In doing research however, we found out that Oklahoma! had won a special Pulizter Prize, so we felt justified in adding that to the revue so that we could have four shows per act because we could only use three songs per show. The Oklahoma! section was used at the end of act I, and the title song was a great way to send people out for the intermission.

We wanted to add a little bit of dramatic context (short scenes before songs, when appropriate), but were told specifically that we couldn't use ANY dialogue before or after the Chorus Line songs...no dramatic context at all. So, we didn't. We just sang those songs. I got to do the Sunday in the Park with George songs. It was a lot of fun and a great success. ;D

I'd say from the photo of The Brain Tap, they were influenced by the costume design from LACC (pictures of which are all over myspace). So, that's fun.

I still don't know what our costumes are going to look like.

I got a call earlier this afternoon from our stage manager saying that tonight's rehearsal is cancelled because we can't find a rehearsal space! :-\ The rest of the week is taken care of, but there was no other choice for tonight, I guess.

I didn't fall asleep until around 3:30 this morning so I'm not sure how much I'll read before crashing. I need to be alert to discuss THE HELP tomorrow morning. So far I haven't met anyone who did not like or love the book. It will be interesting to hear what others in my book group have to say.

I watched A SERIOUS MAN yesterday. What a peculiar little film. :) There was one segment in the middle that had me laughing hysterically, but the rest of it was so relentlessly dark that even I with my completely politically incorrect sense of humor found it hard to actually laugh at the goings on.
Great. It just came in from the library. I will watch it tomorrow or the day after. I like twisted, dark humor.

I'm assuming this is all due to the reorganization of the cable channels which goes in effect tomorrow. It would certainly be a HUGE coincidence that my cable box decides to die right at the time of the big changeover. We'll see.

Looked beautiful, and with my familiarity with the story, I could pay closer attention to smaller details that enriched the movie for me on this second go-round. Good, thoughtful film.

Broadway hit "Jersey Boys" sues rival show (http://www.comcast.net/articles/entertainment/20100412/ENTERTAINMENT-US-STAGE-JERSEYBOYS/).

Quote
NEW YORK — Producers of the blockbuster Broadway hit "Jersey Boys" have sued a touring stage show called "The Boys," labeling it a "copycat" production that competes unfairly with the original musical.

...

"The Boys" was created by former cast members of the original production, and says on its website it celebrates "the music of an era that lights up every generation. Music from The Beach Boys to Motown...and of course...The Four Seasons!"

I read about that earlier today, and, frankly, I'm kind of surprised that a "cease and desist" was not issued as soon as "The Boys" started up. There's another "Franki Valli and the Four Seasons" show that's out there now, and I'm wondering if they're going to get targeted next.

The guy I was interested in actually said he HATES cats....and he repeated it.....How on earth can anyone hate cats....and he dislikes deer. Good grief....guess I won't be distracted by him anymore

I can understand how you'd be upset by his attitude toward cats....but, exactly how many deer do you have in your house, and are they pets or passers-through?

Well obviously you'd be upset by the cat comment since you have/love cats.

It does seem slightly odd for someone to say they hate cats. I could see someone not loving them. But why would they hate them?

I've know people who say they don't like cats, until they spent time with mine & then became converts. Hate is a very strong reaction. Often there is a story behind the reason. Was his comment directed at your cats while you discussed the windows? :(

No, it was when we were looking at the mansion he's renovating and I commented that animals or cats could get in under the porch

Maybe he's allergic?

Nope, I asked that before he came over to my house

Even so I would say he is out of the picture. Before we had kids my cousin got married to a woman who had a cat. It turned out my cousin was very allergic to the cat & my mother was complaining to Keith & me that she should give up the cat. She looked at Keith & said "you would do it for Jane". After he replied no she expected me to be upset, except I said I wouldn't either. She just shook her head at us while we laughed.

Yup. I'm actually very glad I found this out now.

Time-Warner cable is getting ready to reallign their entire digital cable service, and my cable box has been out of service all day today. So, I had to watch ONE LIFE TO LIVE "live" meaning I had to suffer through all of those dreadful teenaged angst storylines. What a way to end my experience with ONE LIFE TO LIVE!

I'm guessing you have a combo cable box/DVR drive? If so, you should still be able to watch the shows on that are saved to the DVR drive even while TWC is realigning their channel lineup. I hope that your box is not kaput.
