Now it's time to make the Jell-O.

What are you going to suspend in it?

It's for my dance instructor. She loves it more than anything, so I have to make a few times a year for her. It has lemon and lime gelatin with heavy cream, mayo, cottage cheese, pineapple and pecans all in it. It actually tastes much better than a list of the ingredients makes it sound.

[John G.]

Seven!

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!

Empanadas de huitlacoche.

Huitlacoche is a very tasty corn fungus. And they were outstanding.

It was incredible.   Thank you for a wonderful evening 😘

I didn't tell you about the hazelnut surprise.

(The surprise is there are no hazelnuts in it.)

[Jane]

The bed and bedding at our hotel is very comfortable and the room quiet, thank goodness.   The last two nights were rather uncomfortable.

Good night, all.

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.

Whew!  I was able to get a cheesecake...they had quite a few, actually.

[George]

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.

You buy your cheese at the gas station?

Love the hat, Jane!  Did you buy boots, too?

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.

Great to see WFO back here again today.

[bk]

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.

I had to go back to Gelson's but there wasn't anybody there shopping so I was in and out in three minutes - I needed more oil, mayo, and I bought another thing of rolls, just in case we ran out.  I also got three tiny drumettes for a snack.

I have spent many a year mincing, but it never resulted in tuna pasta salad.

But, of course!

[TCB]

I have to go to the store first thing tomorrow morning.  Better 8:00 a.m. than noon.

BK, congrats to you and to your co-nominees!

[George]

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

You could Jane, just crop it to the same ratio as 110x150 pixels.

[TCB]

I think we will make it to page eight.
