Well, you've read the notes, the notes took note of an Echo, and now it is time for you to post until the echoing cows come home.

Just did an experiment. For the very first time I microwaved a hot dog. I had no idea you could do such a thing and I was very surprised to see it worked perfectly and was just as good as the broiler and a lot faster. You split the dog a bit with a knife, wrap it in a moist paper towel and put that on a microwave plate and cook for forty-five seconds to a minute. I did a minute and I'd go to a minute-ten because I really like it quite well done. I put it on a bun with some red cabbage and cheese and it was great.

I, too, watched Burn, Witch, Burn last night, on TCM. Sadly, I didn't stay awake through all of it. I'd watched Curse of the Demon before that, and prior to that I DVR'd Nightmare, a 1964 movie I can't say I've ever seen, so I look forward to having a look at that one soon.

I so wish Jacques Tourneur had had his way with not showing that damned demon. What a beautiful film, otherwise.

This is the first I've heard of that ECHO magazine. What a discovery! I would have been all over seeking those out if I'd known about them before now. I shan't go for it at this point, but I'm glad BK will have the set and I look forward to hearing more about them.

I'm familiar with that type of format, but I believe the only things I ever had along those lines were the three National Geographic issues with the tear-out record pages. I have mint copies of those, and I believe I still have a smaller book-like one they issued with one of their earlier books on birds.

Anyway, that was a known thing to do back in the late 50s, early 60s, very likely some of it for advertising purposes, and now I gotta wonder how many such examples of it there are. I just know ECHO would have been right up my alley. What a wonderful period artifact.

And there was a golem....which is always interesting to see.

Looks like producer Scott Rudin had returned to Broadway in triumph.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/theater/little-bear-ridge-road-review-metcalf.html
CRITIC’S PICK
"Laurie Metcalf Is Riveting in ‘Little Bear Ridge Road’
The playwright Samuel D. Hunter makes his Broadway debut with an addition to his Idaho oeuvre, set during the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath."

From the Times review:
"Its transfer declares the Broadway resurrection of the exiled-for-a-while producer Scott Rudin. (Allegations of bullying in 2021 led to widespread denunciations.) And honestly? Everything about this impeccable production, presented by Rudin and the media mogul Barry Diller, exudes the nearly flawless taste that Rudin is famous for."

BK had success microwaving a hot dog. That's good to know, because I wouldn't have thought of doing it. I'll try it and see how it goes.

When I regularly made my macaroni & cheese I would bake half that night and put the other half in a corning ware dish, without the top layer of cheese, and freeze it.  The morning I wanted the second half I would take it out of the freezer to thaw, top with cheese in the evening and bake it.

The Tommy's chili was definitely the spiciest I ever had. It made a cheeseburger spicy even when you didn't have them add one of their very hot chili peppers, whatever kind they were.

(I made that mistake one of my first times at Tommy's. I was ON FIRE, and I didn't know that drinking a lot of Pepsi was not the way to put it out. Not that there was anything else available. It was rather alarming for a few minutes.)

Looks like producer Scott Rudin had returned to Broadway in triumph.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/theater/little-bear-ridge-road-review-metcalf.html
CRITIC’S PICK
"Laurie Metcalf Is Riveting in ‘Little Bear Ridge Road’
The playwright Samuel D. Hunter makes his Broadway debut with an addition to his Idaho oeuvre, set during the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath."

From the Times review:
"Its transfer declares the Broadway resurrection of the exiled-for-a-while producer Scott Rudin. (Allegations of bullying in 2021 led to widespread denunciations.) And honestly? Everything about this impeccable production, presented by Rudin and the media mogul Barry Diller, exudes the nearly flawless taste that Rudin is famous for."

Maybe I posted this, but I did recently add baked potatoes in the microwave to my bag of tricks, and I love them. They are positively delicious, and we're talking a ten-minute job here.

I think once I discovered microwaving hot dogs, I rarely made them any other way, except when barbecuing them.

As soon as I got up I had to call PayPal. I got a notice last night after midnight saying a case had been decided in favor of the buyer because I hadn't responded.
Responded to WHAT? Never got anything about it or of course I would have responded. I get lots of PayPal sales notices five days late. But they will never admit it's them.

How rude! >:(

Anyway, he said while the money had been taken from my account it was still on hold. So, I provided him with all the tracking info - overseas order, currently sitting in customs in France for the past twenty days. I think we all know what THAT is about. Nothing we can do about it, certainly. Anyway, he instantly appealed, the appeal was granted and money is back in my account.

Whew!  Great that it was resolved in your favor!

The Tommy's chili was definitely the spiciest I ever had. It made a cheeseburger spicy even when you didn't have them add one of their very hot chili peppers, whatever kind they were.

(I made that mistake one of my first times at Tommy's. I was ON FIRE, and I didn't know that drinking a lot of Pepsi was not the way to put it out. Not that there was anything else available. It was rather alarming for a few minutes.)

Yikes! :o I think I've had something that was much too hot only a couple of times in my life.  I've forgotten the specifics, though.

I'll need something else to eat shortly - thinking about a sandwich. Only had the two hot dogs, which isn't much. There's plenty of Tommy's chili left, but it's just too spicy for me. Pink's chili is much more to my liking.
