My last attempt to have a bath was rather precarious: I slipped and nearly fell, the rack I hold onto while I'm getting my legs over the edge of the tub did not want to remain steady. I emerged from the bath terrified. Well, today I have to undergo the process again, and I am very concerned about falls. I could use a lot of vibes.

DR George, if that egg salad is more than three-four days old, I would approach it with caution. About ten years ago, on - I believe - the CBS News, a food person gave a short Thanksgiving lecture on Thanksgiving leftovers and how long to keep them in the fridge. Then she went on to talk about items like ytna salad and other items. It was rather scary,

Awaiting the text that they have everything ordered in stock, and can then know what lunch will be accordingly.  Some days, knowing what lunch will be makes a difference.

Planning out the day's calories feels productive, even though often violating that calorie count by the end of the day.

Maybe strawberry is "in" these days, at least here on HHW.  Amazon Fresh offered (and I bought) strawberry coffee creamer, which I'd never seen before.  It sounded like it might be exotic to have strawberry flavor in the coffee.  It's just very tasty without being exotic at all.

An event yes, in the same way that guacamole is made at the table.  A good Caesar Salad is delicious, IMHO.  It just isn't the healthiest of salads.

DR George, additional thanks for the link to the MET Gala for Rudolf Bing.

I watched it live at a friend's house somewhere in Cleveland Heights, and bought the Deutsche Grammophon LP as soon as it was issued. Yes, I still have it.

It's amazing to think that the telecast was never preserved in any professional way, and I believe this version, while close, is still not complete. But how great to see and hear those incredible singers who [a few of us of a certain age] knew and took for granted.

This is an interesting article.

I have another silly "does anyone have this?" music question, and I know it's a long shot.
Here's a Sinatra/Basie arrangement of "I Only Have Eyes For You":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjkN7SY_A1o

Is there any chance in HELL that a transcription of this arrangement exists? I don't care if it's ridiculously complex or simplified sheet music, as long as it more or less captures this arrangement. Anything will be of help. Otherwise, I'll be stumbling my way through approximating it myself, and that may not be a pretty sight.

First ice cream was probably chocolate ice cream at Howard Johnson's. They had 28 flavors before Baskin-Robbins 3-upped them with 31.

Although when Baskin-Robbins unveiled 32nd Flavor, that became my favorite for a while. A Heath bar / toffee kind of flavor, if I recall correctly.
