Have a really good day everyone.

I saw Les Miserables today.  I enjoyed it overall, but was disappointed in the singing of many of the actors.  While I enjoyed Hugh Jackman in The Boy from Oz and his "one-man show," I really didn't care for his vocals.  I was embarrassed for him during "Bring Him Home."  

Sometimes when I am at the theater for one of the tours, I look over at Sandra and ask her if it is just my hearing, or was the singer really bad. She always says the singer is bad. Which is really a shame when you are talking about the pros on a tour.

From DR John G:

Why would anyone purposefully make fish sticks?

[Jane]

Bruce what was your problem with facebook?  Mostly I had New Year good wishes.

[Jane]

From DR Jeanne:

No fish sticks were in attendance when I met your mother.

As much as I dislike fish sticks they would have been preferable to my experience.

Ditto and Ditto!!

DR Dakota I'm very pleased you had a nice dinner out to celebrate New Year's Eve.  I hope you didn't mind following it with work & extra pay.

I've made a huge cauldron of spaghetti sauce and I'm waiting for it to cool so I can put it into freezer containers. I'm going to have pork and  sauerkraut for dinner and watch CNN to see what's going on in Congress.

[Danise]

My dinner turned out really good.  It was always so sour but it was sweet this time.  I never thought to add apples and onions but there really helped with the flavors. I will have to enter it in my Cook'n program so I'll have it for next year!

I hope everyone had a great day!

Gotta go back to work tomorrow.  Ugh.  But at least it's a short week! 

[Jane]

It sure was nice to see photos of DR Sandra.

Last night, the family went to a local restaurant, Budd Bay Café, for dinner and I had the fresh mozzarella chicken burger with fries.  It was pretty good, but not especially flavorful.  After that, I went to the combo birthday/New Year's Eve party that my friends Kevin and Jim were having.  Jim (who's a woman, but goes by the name "Jim") turned 40 and I met her husband Kevin when we were in "Romeo & Juliet" together.  The party was supposed to start at 7:00, but because of dinner, I didn't get there until about 7:50. 

[George]

I was the second person there. Eventually about a dozen people showed up and chatted and played games and had a delightful time.  A few people left before midnight, but just before midnight, we all checked our cell phones to get the official time (their only TV was downstairs in the basement, but everyone was upstairs) and toasted the new year with champagne, sparkling cider and other assorted liquid refreshments.  We chatted for a couple more hours before I decided to leave.  I got home at about 2:30 a.m., and checked my e-mail, then went to bed.

[George]

My sister and I were going to go the movies today (she wants to see "Monsters, Inc." in 3-D), but she decided that she didn't want to leave her house.  So, I'm going to go and see if tickets are available for "The Hobbit."  I haven't read any of yesterday's posts after my last one, so I've got more than 20 pages to ketchup with when I get back.

[George]

Time for me to take a shower and go to the movies.

Have a good day, all!

[Jane]

From DR Vixmom:

ah peanut butter MUST have grape jelly

I do not like grape jelly.  I grew up eating jam's & preserves instead of jelly.  My favorite are plum, which I can't find anymore, and blackberry.  We often had English jams like Robertson's. My mother loved their marmalade.

[Jane]

From DR Cilla:

I stayed about 3 hours or so.  In her words she's not doing "great" she's doing very good and is getting better all the time.  She won't be doing great until she can walk out and go home.    That should be in a couple weeks.  We talked and talked and talked.  It was really fun. 

Excellent news!!!   

[Jane]

From DR Cilla:

It's been great.  Interestingly every day since I didn't get the judicial position, I've run into one of my clients who has gone out of his or her way to tell me thank you.  It's been so cool and makes me thankful I didn't get the job and can continue doing what I'm doing

 

[Jennifer]

Reading yesterday's posts about jams and jellys.

I love an english muffin toasted with margarine and raspberry jam.

I love raspberry jam, but not with peanut butter.

I started watching Downton Abbey last night.  I'm starting with episode 1 of season 1.   Maybe if I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow I'll do a marathon

Well if you decide you like it the new season starts this Sunday (I believe) on PBS.

Happy New Year Dear Elmore!  You were missed!!

Thank you, DR vixmom!  I'm happy that I gave BK the chance to increase the number of posts by kicking me around most of the evening.

Here is my sister-in-law Jayne leading the 1978 Tournament of Roses Parade:

  Did you get to watch the parade in person?

[Jane]

It is freezing here this morning. Not literally. I guess my blood has thinned because the 50s now seem cold to me. I usually spend New Year's Day getting organized for the new year. That's what I shall work on today. Then take a walk in the afternoon.

I don't recall ever going to a movie on New Year's Day, but that sounds like a very good plan to me.

Remember 50 without sun can feel colder than on a nice 50 degree winter day on the East Coast.

[Jane]

I was trying to decide what to read as my first read of  the year. I wanted it to be something really good. I decided on Lisa Gardner' new book Touch & Go that comes out next month.

I noticed on Goodreads you got this one early, congratulations.

Last night I decided I didn't like the book I was reading.  I did a Barnes & Noble search for books under $2.99 and decided to read THE SOLDIER'S WIFE by Margaret Elroy.  I'm enjoying it very much and it was a nice way to bring in the New Year while Keith was sleeping

Today I checked to see what books my library has by Elroy & darn, the book I'm reading is the only eBook of hers they offer.  I'm still glad I paid the $2.99 so I didn't have to wait to read it.

The book takes place during the German occupation on Guernsey.

[Jane]

Getting ready to go see "Jack Reacher" this afternoon. Don't like the fact that Tom Cruise is in it, but the sounds of Werner Herzog as the villain is proving to be the real draw here.

Good luck!

[Jane]

Apples & Onions sounded good to me, just not the rest of it    I'm glad you enjoyed your new recipe.
