I'm back from seeing "Rogue One" and having a late night appetizer at Applebee's.
How was the appetizer ....and the movie.
The more Mr. Spielberg messed with the film, the less I enjoyed it. Thank goodness, the original version of the film is still available.

For the appetizer, I had the grilled chicken wonton tacos. They were one of the happy hour half-price appetizers. I'd never had them before but they were pretty good.

Those are my all-time favorite food at Applebee's. I love them.
What changed your mind tonight?

I had a brain fart and ordered the wonton tacos but thinking of the quesadillas. ::)
Do you have to worktomorrowtoday, George?

Yes. Not a lot of people will be there, though.

Yes. We normally get Christmas Eve day off, but since it's on Saturday (and I don't normally work on Saturday), I get to add 8 hours to my vacation accrual.

You must have a lot of leave time.
But you can sell back the sick leave when you retire, can't you?

No. That's why this is significant. It's technically better than the state who can cash in their sick leave at 25%, right? This is essentially at 33%.
Good night, George.
DR Elmore, thank you for the lovely e-card!
John, we have arrived 😊
Well, goddam! The new tenant above me just had a flushing problem, and my bathroom is now flooded with water. I've lost a lot of books to water damage and I can only hope we caught the problem before the ceiling falls in.
Oh no DR ELMORE!

Just enjoyed the loveliest Christmas card from DR Elmore. Many thanks to you, sir!
DR JANE is enjoying the flora and fauna in Texas. Linked from BookFace, so if you're not a member, you may not see it.

Elmore, I am saving your e-card for Christmas day. :-)
Oh, Elmore! I am so sorry to hear about the water problem. I hope it gets fixed with a minimum of hassle.
You're welcome DR JANE.
I had to restart my computer.....my keyboard went crazy and wasn't typing the letters that I typed.....
A very happy birthday to DR William F. Orr -- who I do not know, but everyone else around here seems to think he's a fine fellow!
I did this from my phone so I hope it all worked correctly.
Larry, do you have bad bathroom karma or what? This is terrible! I'm glad the super got right on it; I was so annoyed with the management there last time. Hopefully, the worst is over and it all dries out quickly.
Coping vibes!
Thank you George. Keith is going to email you a photo of our view the place where we are having drinks.
Is it page 6 yet?
Enjoying the photos from Jane's trip. Very nice one of the three of you.
I'm now back at my work computer and the picture looks very nice. :)
Nice photo of the view, too!
Now it's time to make the Jell-O.

It was wonderful meeting both Jane and Keith. Will be hard to top that this holiday season.
Not only was the few beautiful they actually know how to make a proper Old Fashioned, something I haven't had in a long time, oh so good. It was a real treat.Nice photo of the view, too!
That was a bar i dragged them to. It's an open-air place up on the fourth floor with a nice view of the city. Those large colored lights on the right are actually lights on the section of the River Walk that goes by the Paramour.
My blood pressure was all over the place today; all readings were better than yesterday's 170/116.
No more water leak vibes for DR Elmore!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That sounds horrible. Glad the new super was able to help.

When we returned to the hotel I could not resist sampling the tart in the goodie bag John gave us-yum. What exactly is it?
One cannot ask for a better host and tour guide than DR John. He picked up at the hotel and took us to LA Fonda. We both agree dinner was fabulous. I had by fat the best spinach enchilada ever. The sweet potato one was pretty darn good. The empanda, what was it John, was.....OMG delicious!

Butter.
It also has almonds, homemade raspberry jam (not made by me), almond extract, sugar, flour and salt. That's it. But I think it's the butter and the salt that steal the show.
Now it's time to make the Jell-O.
What are you going to suspend in it?

Empanadas de huitlacoche.
Huitlacoche is a very tasty corn fungus. And they were outstanding.
I didn't tell you about the hazelnut surprise.
(The surprise is there are no hazelnuts in it.)
:)
But before I go, I'm off to brave the wilds of Costco. I hope to get a cheesecake for tomorrow's Christmas Eve do at my parents' house...hope because they may not have anymore. :-\
We'll see.
I also need to get some whipped cream. I won't get that at Costco, though. I only need (and can really only use) one can and not a 4-pack, so I'll go to Fred Meyer, which is next door to Costco, here in Tumwater.
Be back later!

Fred Meyer had whipped cream, too, so I got most of what I need for tomorrow, except for some cheese. I didn't realize that I needed some until I got home tonight, but I need to get gas tomorrow, so I can get some then.
The Robby Award nominations have been announced. I'm happy to say that L.A. Now and Then is up for four awards - best production of a musical, best director (me), best choreography (Cheryl Baxter), and best projection design (Tesshi Nakagawa and Vern Yonemura). And three Kritzerland shows are up - the Sondheim, the Flaherty and Ahrens, and the Rodgers and Hart.
Spent the entire evening slicing and dicing and mincing, making two helpings of tuna pasta salad, and doing the last of the clean-up as I listened to music.

You buy your cheese at the gas station?

Thank you very much. I am crazy about this hat. Avatar experts, would this work? If so I will try to change it.
I think we will make it to page eight.
