DR Jeanne what was the combination you got?

I tried the Classic Chickpea. It had a yellow bun. It was a bit plain, but it could be doctored up a bit. Grubhub allows you to choose extra toppings. Next time I'll probably try the Tangy Chickpea. The burgers are big and the potato wedges were good.

It's a franchise, wo you could open one in Vancouver.   ;)

I could see someone opening one in Portland though we likely wouldn't drive over the bridge to eat there.

It sounds good.  I would have expected the potato wedges to be soggy.  They look good in the photo.

DR John I am glad I know people like you who live in Texas.  The news from there lately is crazy at times. 

What a headline!

The audio of State of Terror just came in at the library, not even 24 hours after I placed a reservation. I’m still on with IT or I’d start listening now.

I'm on the seventh of 14 parts, so I'm zipping right through. It's fun. Great lit? No. But a very enjoyable thriller.

I don't know that I want to read it.  I am sure to find your comments very interesting.

Everything's off today. I was on and off the phone with IT all day. Couldn't work otherwise. Then I got a call at 5 p.m. saying that the IT person I worked with did more harm than good. So, I had to take the laptop to the office, where they fixed it in under a half hour.

I hope it works tomorrow. The hour out and the hour back certainly gave me time to hear more of State of Terror.

She's ready to drop the price on the house. She wants it sold before it gets cold. She's afraid a pipe will burst or something if the house isn't tended to.

Starting to watch James Ivory's adaptation of Henry James' The Europeans. I saw the movie when it first came out and don't remember much, except for Lee Remick. I read the novel much later and loved it. I will say I don't like all of Henry James.

The score, by Richard Robbins, uses old hymns beautifully.

Forgot to mention that in that horrid Diabolique remake, a young and quite bad actor plays a member of a two-person video crew doing a commercial for the school where the film takes place. His name was Jeffrey Abrams and he would, of course, soon become J.J. Abrams - and I find him to be just as uninspired as a filmmaker.

Yes. I got some peaches in my Bountiful Basket this past week. They went from unripe to overripe in a day, so I had to use them up. And I had a recipe that proved really good.

I don't remember much about the remake except that it was far from the original. Light years.
