Well, you've read the notes, the notes arrived and had some books, and now it is time for you to post until the arriving cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PANACHE!
-
And now - Dino at the piano.

Topic of the Day: my favorite way to have salmon is to not have salmon. :P
-
Congrats on getting the test books so quickly, BK!
-
Can't wait to get the real thing!
-
I'm off to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
George, what a coincidence, that’s my favorite recipe too!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I really like grilled salmon, but my favorite is bagel and lox.
-
Last night around 8:30 I was afflicterd with a new torturous round of neuropathy: shooting, burning pains of 10-30 seconds duration in the base of my left heel and achilles tendon. They were frequent, sometimes running up the back of my leg to mid-calf. Usually, I just get short jabs in my toes or the bottoms of my feet, but this new one was persistent and lasted all night. I got very little sleep.
-
I tried several stretches, and nothing helped. I took every painkiller I had, and nothing helped. I plan to spend most of the day in bed.
-
DR JohnG, I hope the biopsy results turn up nothing bad.
-
Pain free vibes for Elmore
-
Good morning, friends.

-
Good morning, all.
-
Thanks for all the vibes and for Mom.
-
Got 9 hours of sleep. A bit of a miracle.
-
But today is packed.
-
Going out of town to try a new place that sells buffalo milk gelato and cheese.
-
Ushering for the opera’s 90-minute version of Lucia di Lammermore.
-
Need to get to Sam’s Club. I just bought a membership on Groupon for $20. It’s a little closer to the house than Costco, but I haven’t liked it much in the past. Still, for gasoline, it may be worth it.
-
TOD:
I like salmon most every way possible, with sasjimi-style being my favorite.
-
Good morning one and all! There's a brand new Broadway Radio Show up on this here website. I had a great chat with Rick Pender about his new book The Stephen Sondheim Encyclopedia...very interesting and fun. Enjoy!!!

I once saw Two Fat Ladies poach in red wine with citrus on top. I’ve done that a few times and like it.
-
Thanks, Donald.
-
Two!
-
Looking forward to listening to DR Donald's show. Thanks for the reminder!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Enjoyed a fairly peaceful Saturday morning lying around eating some Entenmann's donuts and danish. Now it's time to move and get a few things done.
-
Vibes for DR JOHN G.
-
A new roof is being put on the house across the street. There are lots of cars parked around and lots of noise.
What did you say?
-
Continued vibes for MR BK.

Vibes for DR TCB our own Priscilla Presley!

The question about salmon reminds me of another fish thing my mom made a lot when I was a kid: salmon patties. I hadn't thought about those in years, but a quick google search shows that they're very much a "thing". I have no idea how she made them, but I'm guessing that if I find a recipe in the old Betty Crocker book, that's probably it. And considering our lack of love for seafood through those years, those probably weren't very salmon-y. But I definitely liked them.
These days, I dunno, I can't think of a way I wouldn't enjoy salmon. It's good stuff. Baked or grilled are certainly favorites.
-
Salmon patties. Like peppermint patties. Only different.
-
Let us hope that DB Barnum doesn't start mimicking the sound of a nail gun.
That would be most vexing!
-
I once saw Two Fat Ladies poach in red wine with citrus on top. I’ve done that a few times and like it.
I misread that as “I once saw two fat ladies poached in wine ...”
-
No plans today other than shaving and taking a good walk.
-

Did they poach each other? There was something large enough to fit both at the same time?

If you lived in Midsomer, you might very well have! :)

~~~EYE VIBES~~~ for our very own DR TCB!!!
-
Two packages for another building have sat in our lobby for a week now. I sent a complain to the US Postal Service on Sunday, and I have sent follow-ups every day this week. On Thursday the incompetent Planetarium Station manager called me and said someone will pick them up and deliver them to the correct address. They still sit here.
-
The salmon patties seem similar to crab cakes. If so, then why don't we call them salmon cakes, and crab patties? If indeed they're called salmon cakes, then they're like chocolate cakes. Only different.
-

Exactly.

May you be as happy as this dog is with his stick.

that was fun.
-
Went to Sam's Club. The prices aren't as good as Costco, but the meat is in much more manageable portions. I can get a lamb roast without buying the rest of the animal.
-
Also went to the library and to pick up some new prescriptions.
-
Seems like my friends want to get lunch before we get buffalo milk gelato.
-
When I was growing up, we used to get new beach towels every May before school let out. We never went swimming, so I don't really know what their use was. And yet they always wore out with just sun bathing.
Anyway, I did find a 6-foot beach towel today at Sam's with lobsters and crabs on it. It seemed to call to me, and it was nice to relive an old tradition.

Continued vibes fir John and his Mom

Eye vibes for TCB
-
I couldn’t convince the doctor to throw in a tummy tuck or butt lift with the colposcopy. I think those should definitely be an included part of the procedure
-
Maybe a little liposuction..
-
This morning we got a knock on the door by a man in a mask and plastic visor.
-
Two years ago I would have refused to open the door and called the police
-
I put on my mask and opened the door as he backed down the steps and then called to me from midway down the walkway that he was there from the electric company to change the meter
-
(Which is outside on the side of the house but behind a locked gate)
-
So Vixdad masked up, went out, and oversaw the procedure, which literally took two minutes
-
So yesterday morning I was inspired by DR George to get a head start on the reading of the new book. I downloaded it, and though I hadn't planned on reading the entire book yesterday, I ended up doing just that. It's mostly what I did all day.
No spoilers shall be dropped, but y'all have a fun read to look forward to.
DR George -- I saw one blank line in the middle of a paragraph, as you reported. Don't remember where, but on flipping through it today, it seemed to be gone. Another thing I saw, which I've seen happen in many Kindle books -- a word will be hy-phen-at-ed, just like that, for no reason, right in the middle of a line. That, too, will change or go away when you next open the app.
It's: App Crap.
-
Also went to the library
Did you meet an optometrist named Paul?

So far, that's all I've seen. Also, one word missing from a sentence. Really enjoying the book, so far.
-
DR vixmom, for what you went through, you should have gotten at least some of those extras.
-
:)
-
DR TCB it used to be that insurance paid for eye surgery before the eyes got that bad. My eye doctor said now they wait too long to cover it.
-
:)
LOL!
-

You just knew this was coming, the day they stopped giving away toasters when you opened a checking account.
-
;D
-
George, what a coincidence, that’s my favorite recipe too!
;D My salmon burger last night wasn't frozen which I find disgusting. It is served on a delicious bun with coleslaw, tomato, and an aioli sauce. I added extra coleslaw instead of fries.
I splurged as my weight was, note was not is, down.
I ate it all up except for a little bit of the bread. Plus we always split a side of roasted vegetable as an appetizer.
After eating all that I was reminded why my weight was down. After getting vaccinated I decided I had had enough of being in pain and wasn't going to worry about covid.
I am still hurting some this morning which a walk will clear up.
-
I eat grilled salmon. I only have it when we are out and there isn't a tofu option. Often I have it on top of a salad. Last night inside a bun was a special treat.
-
My mom also used to make salmon patties....I know she put crackers in the mix but I don't know what else.
I usually ate one.....my dad liked them a lot....but I think most of us didn't care for them.
So I haven't ventured out to order salmon of any kind at a restaurant or smart cafe.
-
Good morning. The boys and I have had a lazy morning. It's a beautiful day out and I believe I'll be heading out on the bike for a ride. Then it's off to Target for Mother's Day cards and a new coffee pot. The baseball game was fun. I kind of like less people in the stadium as there was no one in back of us and no one in front! The company was stellar and the game was great.

That sounds like a very enjoyable way to watch a game.

Back from an omelet and small Caesar, then meeting the fellow who wanted me to sign his Nudie Musical LP. Turns out he was in my show The Manaechmus Twins back in 1974. Vary nice fellow and we sat outside at Gelson's and had a nice chat. Now I'm home and at three-thirty the Zoom stuff begins.
-
Back from the town of Blanco, which appears to have never heard of the pandemic or that Trump lost the election. The billboards, yard signs and flags in honor of Trump were all new. places like the barbecue joint we went to first were mask optional and few people wore masks. Same with the water buffalo gelato place.
-
At the barbecue joint, I had a sandwich called the Willie Nelson: smoke Akaushi brisket, pork loin and sausage. The bun fell apart after a few bites, so I had most of it Keto-style. Quite wonderful.
-
:)
-
Up from a delicious nap.
-
Nothing Keto about the coffee crunch gelato I had. I tasted my friends' pistachio and vanilla gelati. All were excellent. The place had been open only about 10 weeks and has been overrun, which is great. The owner was passing out samples of his water buffalo pepperoni, which was also really good (we had the meat before the dessert).

I'm such a crafter.

Hello, everyone.
-
John G, are water buffalo in abundance in that area of Texas? Off the top of my head I cannot think of any sources for it or water buffalo milk.

Always glad to see restaurants busy and successful.
-
Is your upcoming biopsy a needle biopsy? Have you had one before? I had one about ten years ago and didn't find it difficult at all. Little pricks with the needle.
Vibes yours goes as easily as mine.
-
Salmon. Yes, I do like salmon, preferably wild.
There used to be an Italian restaurant in Old Town Alexandria called Villa D'Este, which had superb salmon in a light sauce, with a few veggies. The owner passed away suddenly and his wife took over. It wasn't as good after that.
I like it grilled or poached.
My favorite restaurant here for salmon or sole has closed due to Covid. :(

Nope. But somebody has decided to ranch them here anyway.

I think it’ll be more like yours. I can apparently drive. The whole thing takes 20 minutes, they say.

Hot, hot afternoon. The theater is not exactly chilled. Brenda Rae, who has sung at the Met, is Lucia. The orchestra is on stage.

My thyroid biopsy was a needle biopsy too. Virtually painless and very quick
-
I had the same question about water buffalo that DR JEANNE asked.

Nice book cover. Mine hasn't arrived yet, I think I'll file a PayPal dispute.

Zoom done. Watched a movie, too. Listening to a great mono Ormandy Scheherazade - there was an older 40s version in the set but this one's much better and in much better sound.
-
Ordered a half-slab of ribs from my favorite barbecue jernt - should be here in thirty minutes.
-
We have quite a wonderful cast for the May Kritzerland, I must say and I have said.
-
:)
-
Was pleased to discover tonight that a few new episodes of Midsomer Murders have been released.

Good night, friends.

Well, perhaps before I go,

To a new page

We’ve been watching Professor T on PBS

It’s a Dutch show so it’s all subtitled
-
it is quirky but good

https://www.operasa.org/lucia-livestream
Apparently, there's a livestream of Lucia that's supposed to be up for a month.
Go about 44 minutes into the link for the music to start.

Good night, all.

I would think the butt lift would be standard.

Well, the doctor says mine is very bad.

I did notice one needlessly hyphenated word (I forget where so I can't check that), but I checked on the blank lines in chapter 5, and they were still there. Then, I realized that I hadn't actually closed my Kindle app, only minimized it and turned off my tablet. When I actually closed my Kindle app (even without turning off my Kindle), the blank lines were gone! Interesting.

Agreed! I'm just about to start chapter 12, which is 59% through.

How do you know that the salmon had not been frozen?
-
Tonight after coming home from my mom's, I went shopping for mini-cheesecake ingredients so that I can make mini-cheesecakes for dessert for tomorrow. They're out of the oven but have to cool before I can wrap them and put them in the fridge.

59% is good!

Listening to music.

Notes are written.

Written are notes.

Now, I wait for the cooling of the cheesecakes. :)

Uploading more CDs into iTunes. I nuke stuff along the way that I know I won't need to listen to again.

PAGE SIX DANCE!!

Now playing: Bartok's marvelously marvelous Concerto for Orchestra.
-
Before I went to my mom's today, I went to the San Francisco Street Bakery (which is ironically on San Francisco Avenue ::) ), and got some bagels for tomorrow's Mother's Day lunch with the family.
-
They didn't have the flavored cream cheese that my sister likes, so I'll go back tomorrow morning, which means I need to go to bed earlier than I like to on weekends. :P
-
But it's for Mother's Day, so I shall. ;D
-
Evidently, I also didn't get enough bagels, so I'll need to get some more of those, too.
-
Here is a little extra spending money, to do what I already do!
https://komonews.com/news/offbeat/company-wants-to-pay-you-1500-to-take-30-naps
$1,500 for 30 days!!
-
And speaking of salmon, my mom wanted smoked salmon for the bagels, so she got the kind that she likes.
-
I don't like salmon, so I'll just have bagels and cream cheese...fine with me!
