FREEDOM AND CREAM CHEESE - the title of a possible book about Philadelphia.

Speaking of which, I have discovered a nearby New York location for Jersey Mike's and their Philly Cheese Steak. Not cheap, but quite good.

Annabelle and Thatch have taken over my new cart. I find trhem sleeping on different tiers, as though the cart were a pullman car on a train, and lately while they are doing this, they sing "Shuffle off to Buffalo."

Great image!

CNN reminds us that it's the unofficial Star Wars Day -

as in May the Fourth be with you.

I like that the new version of CNN has added quite a bit of humor and lightness to its programming. What I like less is how much time they seem to feel obligated to give to conservative views, but with MSNBC feeling in flux, CNN probably "knows" what they need to survive as a news network in this era.

Sundried pizza is the best pizza.

Especially with sundried tomatoes.

I'm tuckered out. I've finished kitty cleanup, cleaned the bathroom, and vacuumed. I need to make the bed so I can lie in it.

Ann stopped by. She brought me a half dozen apple cider donuts from the farmer's market.

Sunday.

I like Papa John's pizza.

But it is not on my menu now. Still trying to keep the weight down.

I have to get ready and travel to a meeting of the bored today.

I shall start the book when I return.

I've been listening to two of my favorite British musicals, Lock Up Your Daughters, based on Henry Fielding's 18th century comedy Rape Upon Rape, which I think BK should direct for the Guild, and Virtue in Danger, based on Vanbrugh's Restoration comedy The Relapse.

Does every dog really have its day? And if so, which day is it?

Thus far today, I've gotten some stuff organized and put away and got some new music to work on more or less organized (some people still owe me some). Then I fell into a rabbit hole downloading some scores from IMSLP. I'd never used that site much, and shame on my sorry ASS because that's going to change. It's incredible what can be found there.

One thing I wanted that isn't yet in public domain is Poulenc's Le Bal Masque, preferably the full score, but a piano solo version would do.

Another is Gershwin's own Porgy and Bess Suite ("Catfish Row") -- not to be confused with Robert Russell Bennett's "Symphonic Picture" or any other arrangement. This one strongly features some of the purely orchestral music from the opera such as the fight fugue, hurricane music, and an abbreviated version of the opening piano solo.

From DR Rodzinski:

In Canada, did I mention this? There’s a chain called Boston Pizza. Now whoever associates Boston and pizza in the states? Nobody. Yet Boston Pizza is rather good. Generous, anyways.

DR Chas, growing up the only really good pizza, IMHO, was LaBarbera's.

Jane · « **Reply #49 on:** May 04, 2025, 11:47:10 AM »

In the 70's we enjoyed Numero Uno's which was our first deep dish pizza.

ChasSmith, don't forget to watch the Frenzy comparison. Also, LaBarbera's was at 11813 Wilshire Blvd near Barrington.

Nick Redman's first wife worked at a good pizza place called Da Vita's right down from La Barbera's and next to the Odyssey. We went there quite often in the early Bay Cities days.

Well, no one has gotten back to me about a dining adventure, so maybe I'll just stay here or maybe I'll take a drive and bring something back.

I ordered some mac and cheese from Marmalade. Should be here soon.
