Well, you've read the notes, the notes had Chicken in a Biskit crackers, and now it is time for you to post until the Cows in a Biskit come home.
-
And the word of the day is: EXECRATE!
-
Well, there is only one performance of "The Tempest" left, and then it's over. Whenever I do shows, I always have fun, but I'm also always glad when it's over. Last night went well and afterward, there was a party at the house of the woman (yes, a woman) who played Caliban. There were a couple of other characters whose gender had changed from the original, but it all worked.
-
After today's matinee, we'll strike the set and it'll be done. :)
-
And now, I'm off to sleep.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good morning, all.
When I was a kid, Chicken in a Bisket was a favorite treat in the house that we had on special occasions like a family trip. I haven't had one in, maybe, 40 years, and though I loved them, I don't think I ever associated the flavor with chicken. My guess now is that it's something like bouillon flavoring, which I didn't know as a kid.
Glad to read that they still make them. I'll have to look for them.
-
Good morning, all.
Coffee! And everything bagels!
-
Well, I'll be. Yes, you read that right. I, DR ChasSmith, will be.
I didn't recognize the name, but as soon as I saw that package of Chicken in a Biskit, I knew I'd had these, and enjoyed them.
Yesterday I said it takes a good flavored cracker to interest me, and though I was thinking more along the lines of garlic and herbs, etc., these certainly qualify. What I don't remember is at which stage of life I was eating them. And I don't think I'm the one who discovered and bought them. I believe they were something a former roommate or other friend was buying a lot, and I learned about them that way. I know it's been some years. I shall have to make a few inquiries.
-
I think it was DR singdaw who posted a link to the Times article on Broadway substitute musicians.
That kind of thing is pure porn for the likes of me. Endlessly fascinating ... and hair-raising. I'm in awe of good Broadway musicians, anyway, which hardly makes me unique. But the very idea of first-time subbing without so much as one run-through strikes terror into the very act of imagining it.
I'm also stunned at the number of actual full-time players -- 349 or some such? What the HELL is that? You could stuff that many people into a Volkswagen at the circus. I wonder what the number used to be, back in the day.
-
I think Topper's at the Huntley Hotel very vaguely figured into one of my dreams.
I know my headlight replacements of a couple of weeks ago (and my mention of it to someone yesterday) inspired another dream.
-
Well, wasn't that a fascinating post!
-
I listed C In A B yesterday as one of my favorites as well. It is available at all stores in this area.
-
Sunday. You heard it-- Sunday!
-
Good morning!
-
My cell phone screeched out a dust storm warning during the night. Then I got up early to hike before church. I would like to take a nap, and it is not even 8 a.m. yet.
-
I'm off to napland, Laura. For an hour before brunch.
But after church, I stopped at the grocery and picked up a package of "Chicken in a Bisket."
-
Today is Papa John's Pizza Day at my house.

Today is Papa John's Pizza Day at my house.
(I read that as "Pope John's Pizza Day"!)

Good morning, all! I slept 14 hours this morning, so it's a depression! Tomorrow I must force myself to be out of bed and moving by 7:30. We'll see. My day is completely open, so I may lie here and watch some DVDs after I look over the ROBERTA booklet notes again. Now that the Man from Philadelphia has become ridiculously difficult these past weeks, I want the notes to be really good before I leave Toyland.
DR ChasSmith, if you consider that - before the advent of producers believing a synth could replace a string section - an orchestra in 1960 might hold as many as 33-35 players, that MOST HAPPY FELLA had 38, and the small Princess Theatre in 1917 had a small band of 19, I'd say the number of 349 today was 3 rimes that. Also, before 1990 or so, there were industrial shows and a lot of TV programs and specials hiring orchestras on a steady basis. Today, a Broadway pit that might have once held 35 musicians now may only hold at most 18 because the space has been filled in with sound equipment or an extra row of audience seats.

Talk about a Golden Age...

I did get eight hours of sleep.

From Bruce:
I literally cannot find ANYTHING about Rebozo's online. It's like it never existed. Damn them, damn them all to hell.
I know. And dear, dear Andy the owner who played "Green Eyes", in Spanish of course, on the juke box every time I walked in.
Maybe not every time, but most. He didn't do it as often once I grew up and he wasn't always there anymore.
-
My cell phone screeched out a dust storm warning during the night.
Do you really need this information in the middle of the night?

Dear Lurker Iris posted this late last night:
Was that restaurant's name El Rebozo?
On Sawtelle?
Does that help? I don't think I knew it, sorry to say.
-
I think all the ROBERTA revisions are finished. I have a week before the Battle Round 2 with the Man from Philadelphia begins again.

No El in the name. As Bruce said it was on Pico next to the Playhouse which is on the corner of Patricia.
Yes, best tacos ever. Also, they had a green sauce that was served along with the traditional red sauce for chips, tacos, whatever. I wish I had asked Andy for the recipe because not only does no one serve this any more but it was the best green sauce (don't know what it is called) by far that I ever had.
-
Weird, DR Jane - all the Mexican jernts around here serve a red sauce AND a green sauce with the chips. I have no idea what it is called, however.

Oh right, he did say that. Damn it. How weird this is.
I think it's just called salsa verde.

Odd day here. Nicely cool, around 70, with a lovely light breeze -
But it keeps shifting from sunny to lightly raining.

Soy milk.

DR Singdaw is it a thin green sauce with little seeds in it?
-
I was quite surprised to read this in the notes:
She of the Evil Eye arrived and we did a two-mile jog, then went and had sausage and eggs and toast, oh my.
I was so surprised I read it again when I read
She of the Evil Eye arrived and I did a two-mile jog, then went and had sausage and eggs and toast, oh my.
what a difference a pronoun makes.....

Could be, but it wasn't spicy-just full of flavor.

I was also surprised to put on the teevee and be greeted with the image of our very own BK putting snails on some man's face
I was so surprised I looked again and indeed it was our very own BK putting snails on some man's face

Today would have been Susan Gordon's 65th birthday.

I see Chickin in a Biskit all the time in my grocer's cracker aisle but I don't think I have ever tasted one-
I just may have to go to the grocer and remedy that situation

Sunday afternoon greetings! Fr. Richard and I are home from Lima. When we left at 7:15 this morning, Allie told us goodbye from the other side of the screen door at the top of the steps.
-
My cell phone screeched out a dust storm warning during the night.
Do you really need this information in the middle of the night?
Mine screeched an Amber Alert at 6:30 yesterday morning and I decided I never need that kind of info immediately, so I disabled the sound on that function. Weather alerts, fine, but I stay home too much to be of any help in a missing person situation.

I did not. :P

I'm at the theater. Today's the last of "The Tempest." We have to strike the set after the show and that's the part I always hate...mainly because I'm lazy. ;) Also, I never know what to do, so I usually feel useless. Oh, well. I at least stick around for it all. Some people (at least in other shows that I've done) have left as soon as no one's looking. That's not right.
-
The computer that I'm on here at the theater has a 4:3 monitor. I haven't been on a computer with that ratio since early last year. It's weird using a small monitor, even though this ratio was the only one available for more than 20 years.
-
And the word of the day is: EXECRATE!
And The Song Of The Day Is: I HATE MEN
-
is it a thin green sauce with little seeds in it?
Pretty thin, DR Jane - but I don't recall there being any seeds.
-
It kinda of looked like this. Maybe those little white specs aren't seeds.

-
All I know is it wasn't spicy and only once or twice have I had any that came close in flavor. I haven't seen it in years. Maybe I need to ask about it.

Hello, everyone.
My mention of Mexican food yesterday started quite a discussion. It doesn't take much to start a food discussion on HHW.

Lies about caramelized onions (they might take longer than you think):

-
I'm glad DR DL Iris was able to put DR Chas' mind to rest. I'd never heard of such a restaurant.
-
Yes, indeedy, on the salsa verde. I first tasted it in a Mexican restaurant in San Diego and LOVED it. I tried to get the recipe from the owner, but he wasn't saying. I coerced a coworker to get the basics. It calls for tomatillos (small, green tomatoes), which I had difficulty finding, so I didn't pursue it further.
The restaurant I ate at the other day served my burrito in a salsa verde, but I found theirs a bit thin. It's not spicy, but can be very flavorful.
-
I don't know if salsa verde comes from certain regions of Mexico, but not all Mexican restaurants serve it.
-
Guess what ??
THUNDER!!
My God it's been a long time since we've had any rain!
-
Laura, when you're alerted to the haboob/dust storms is there anything you can actually do about it? Can you drive safely in one? (I wouldn't think so.)
-

Interesting. A correct recipe would have been simple to include here, not that I need one.

There's always Amazon. :)

I was just at the supermarket. Just for jollies, I went down the cracker aisle.
Sure enough, there on the shelf were boxes and boxes of CHICKEN IN A BISKIT!!!!! And right next to them: BACON-flavored Ritz crackers!!!!!
-
Yuck and yuck!
-
There's always Amazon.
There certainly is. :)
They are definitely losing money from the shipping charges alone on MY Prime membership.
-
Yuck and yuck!
;D I didn't say I bought any, DR Jane. :)
-
...and wasn't that a nice recliner chair nap?
Well-deserved, and I dare say, well-needed.
-
I will be scarce this evening; we are invited to dinner at a friend's home. We are invited WITH the dog; we are hoping that he will get along with the resident black lab, Cooper. I will try to remember to try to take a photo.
-
Intermission is almost over. It's going well. I was standing out front for a few moments and I saw a couple of cars leave. Their loss...and there are no refunds. ;)

not only were they NOT out, they had been price reduced to $2.99 -

I spent the afternoon watching this. It has moments, and a really good cast, but i really hated the main character, Kyle Cyandler's cameo was really wnderful and I did noy recognize Jennifer Jason Leigh at all.

so you did not consider it a pure gem and a perfect movie?
-
I'm glad you liked Mr. Confidential, DR elmore. I thought about going to NYC for that and some other shows but didn't end up going. I see there's talk of it being done again (maybe for Broadway?) That would be great for Kevin Spirtas!
-
I just finished the dvd of House of Cards Season 2. Looking forward to Season 3. Not sure when it comes out (probably much later on dvd).
-
I am enjoying watching The Commonwealth games. But the coverage has been less than stellar. Usually Canada has 24/7 coverage. Now we have either 1 or 2 hours a day. They do have pretty good coverage on youtube. I was able to see a lot of swimming there.
-
I'll make this prediction right now - Mr. Confidential will never be on Broadway, and I think I'd be safe to say it will never even be off-Broadway. And I don't need to see it to make that prediction.
-
Page four? Really?
-
Forgive me for being brain dead, but has anyone here mentioned seeing the Blue-Ray version of the original THE TIME MACHINE. I was set to order the film from Amazon, but I started reading the comments and reviews that seem to insist that there is no difference between the previous DVD and the Blue-Ray version. Anyone know?
-
Back from Bye Bye Birdie - I'm not going to be mean in the notes, but I am here to tell you that most of it was not very good. Everyone seems to love the choreography, which is very high energy and some of it is certainly appealing. But, as any great choreographer will tell you, it's just as important to know when NOT to choreograph as when TO choreograph. Every word, every beat had a step - too much until you read that the guy is the assistant to Patti Columbo, who is also a very busy choreographer. The book scenes were not well directed or perhaps not directed at all. The Rosie was very good because she got the humor and played it, so that was nice. The Birdie was awful - just terrible casting, a little Justin Bieber-type petulant runt - that may seem like a funny idea, but it's not funny for Bye Bye Birdie because it's nothing like the character in the show. Kim was too old (she certainly looked older than Birdie), the mother was okay, Jim Bullock was channeling Mr. Lynde and ad-libbing when he should not have been because a) the ad-libs weren't that funny, b) they took us out of the show, and c) the show is long enough without these sorts of additions. They added the revival song for the mother, which may be an okay song, but stops the show dead just when it shouldn't stop. They also added the movie's title song for some young kids at the top of act two - again, if you're going to add ten minutes to an already long act two, then you'd better cut ten minutes elsewhere.
The real problem is everyone thinks Bye Bye Birdie is a piece of cake. That would be incorrect. You have to cast it perfectly and you have to pace it perfectly, and you have to really understand the humor and how it must be played. We were in that theater for over three hours - fifteen minutes of which was a fund-raising curtain speech, and a fifteen minute intermission. I think the show itself must have run over two hours and forty-five minutes.
-
I had one of those CPK 600 calorie meals - salmon and some corn thing. I'm going to jog in a few minutes which will net my calorie intake down to four hundred calories, so I'm definitely eating some chicken in a biskit crackers, some salami and some fruit.
-
Vixdad and I have just returned from our favorite IHOP .... I had my beloved chicken florentine crepe ( they kindly let me order a half order)

Lovely review from last month's Kritzerland show. http://cabaretscenes.org/cabaret_reviews/2014/july13/kritzerland_7-14.html
-
While scanning the obituaries this morning, looking for my name; I came across this unusual opening to this obit.. (I changed the man's name to John Doe.)
John Doe 1923 - 2014 John Doe was born 90 years ago on November 4, 1923 in Centerville, Iowa. His mother Beatrice preceded him in death
If this man was 90 years old, wouldn't it go without saying that mom had already passed away. And are we to believe that dad is still with us?

Nice review Bruce!!!
-
Greetings, all! Just signing on for the first time in a few days. I hope everyone has had a good weekend.
BK, Thanks for the Birdie review. I felt bad about not going, but I had a feeling it wasn't going to be wonderful. I'm only sorry for your sake that it was as bad as it was. I so agree about things that are over-choreographed. I've been in that position of having to do that choreography, and Oy! is all I can say.
Hmmm, I saw your comment on Mr. Confidential. I actually did three songs on the original demo recordings for that show, and they asked me to do the Fringe performances, but the little money involved made it near impossible to do. And I've not seen the script, so it's hard for me to say more about it.

Re haboob warnings in the middle of the night: I guess they warn you so you will pull over if you are driving. I was not, however.
-
I see Chickin in a Biskit all the time in my grocer's cracker aisle but I don't think I have ever tasted one-
I just may have to go to the grocer and remedy that situation
I used to like them but they are too salty for me these days
-
Vixmom, I hope that favorite IHOP is one of those in the original A-frame buildings.
-
Oh my, the Birdie review. Thank you for telling it like it is, right here. I don't understand people's approach to that -- at all.
-
I think a typical salsa verde is not hot or spicy.
Are the white things seeds from the tomatillos?
Damn it to hell, where is DR John G. when we need him?
The white things are seeds from tomatillos. It an he mild or spicy depending on how many serranos you put in the sauce.
-
Five!
-
Bacon flavored Ritz Crackers.
Strike vibes for DR GEORGE.
I am hoping we get to see Dog Pictures from the party that DR SINGDAW's dog is attending this evening.
-
Yuck and yuck!
oh you vegetabletarian you
LOL, I doubt there's any real chicken or Bacon in the crackers
-
I can't stick around here all day - I have to go buy Chicken in a Biskit

But you don't eat chicken. Why would you try one?
-
Three times in the past two days when I have tried to type Ritz Crackers, I have typed Titz Crackers.....it must be the Banjo coming out in me already.

Very nice review posted by MR BK.
-
I think you are probably correct DR CILLA LIZ.
-
DR John G., I first read that as "depending on how many servants you put in the sauce". Well, that might make a difference, too.

Well, I tend to keep the servants out of the sauce, because, well, I want them sober. ;)

I'll make this prediction right now - Mr. Confidential will never be on Broadway, and I think I'd be safe to say it will never even be off-Broadway. And I don't need to see it to make that prediction.
May I ask you why you are making the prediction? Is it the subject matter?
Because a hundred other shows have gotten the exact same reaction and go nowhere - it's the nature of things. We didn't expect The Brain to go to B'way, you know. Nor off-B'way, for that matter. I know nothing about the show itself and really have no interest in it at all.

DR John G., I first read that as "depending on how many servants you put in the sauce". Well, that might make a difference, too.
Well, I tend to keep the servants out of the sauce, because, well, I want them sober. ;)
Oh, I was thinking cook them up in the sauce, lol
That, too.

I try not to wear red when I'm cooking. Maybe something in a more calming black or green.

Vixmom, I hope that favorite IHOP is one of those in the original A-frame buildings.

Wonderful, Wonderful! :)
Speaking of pancakes, I had bacon pancakes for breakfast yesterday. The bacon was merely crumbled over the top of three fluffy cakes with plenty of vanilla in them. Add butter and syrup -- and voila. A happy start to the day.

I think we should all go to San Antonio and have an eating tour with JohnG like the walking and eating tour we had with DR Jose in NYC

Please do. Come and join me for some fun.

Lies about caramelized onions (they might take longer than you think):

Interesting. A correct recipe would have been simple to include here, not that I need one.
No, you just melt the caramels in a double-boiler, and then stir in the onions.

so John G are onions properly caramelized in oil or butter?

The nearby park can accommodate plenty. My house is too dirty at the moment for guests.

I like TCB's solution. But I would use olive oil.

I've started watching Saving Mr. Banks. Emma Thompson is wonderful, but the character is so off-putting that I don't know if I''m enjoying it.

Well, I must say good night.

Six!

Intermission is almost over. It's going well. I was standing out front for a few moments and I saw a couple of cars leave. Their loss...and there are no refunds. ;)
I just hope it wasn't the actors
Fortunately, not. The entire cast and crew stayed for the second act. The rest of the show went quite well. The strike was very easy...mostly just a few platforms and big tubes standing up at the back of the stage. We didn't even have to repaint the floor.
-
After the strike, most of the cast and crew went to Brewery City Pizza (a local pizza place) and had an after-the-final-show meal together. There was eating and dishing the dish and general having a good time. We all said our good-byes and we each went home...or at least left the pizza place.

And now I'm home, watching "The Last Ship."

Apparently in LA today there was a sudden rainstorm - it lasted, I believe, about twenty seconds. And in Venice, there was lightning - the bolt killed one swimmer and caused serious injury to a surfer. Go know.

Lovely review from last month's Kritzerland show. http://cabaretscenes.org/cabaret_reviews/2014/july13/kritzerland_7-14.html (http://cabaretscenes.org/cabaret_reviews/2014/july13/kritzerland_7-14.html)
Very nice!

Bacon flavored Ritz Crackers.
Strike vibes for DR GEORGE.
I am hoping we get to see Dog Pictures from the party that DR SINGDAW's dog is attending this evening.
Thanks, Jrand! It was very easy and didn't take too long, at all. :D

We'll give you time to clean :)

Listening, relaxing. Watched one of the Harold Lloyd shorts included with The Freshman. Very funny.

Page six? Really?

I've begun to import into iTunes the Eugene Ormandy box set - of course the first CD I imported was the Rachmaninov second symphony, one of my all-time favorite pieces - and this is a gorgeous rendition - oh, those Philadelphia strings.

I've finished watching "Falling Skies."
