I'm still feeling puny. If I didn't have three demanding felines, I'd spend a day staying in bed as long as I liked. Some of it's old age, some might be pre-birthday depression which I've had regularly for years, and the combo of diabetes and degenerative arthritis.

Where is our DR vixmom these days?

DR John G, your book arrived on Saturday. It's so tiny!

Today I really need to tidy up this dump, bathe, and get to work on one f my two projects with Doug Fullington. We're looking at a ballet by George Gershwin's girlfriend Kay Swift, whom I met around 1986 when we recorded the Kiri te Kanawa sings Gershwin album.

TOD:
The only thing I have ever flambéed is a bag of pretzels that I forgot was stored in my oven when I went to preheat it.

What a mess that was. And the smoke!

I’m glad it arrived. Does size matter?

Perfect stocking stuffer size, or to carry in your bag.

I also had one Michael Parks LP....well I still have it....somewhere.

I liked the opening credits for his show especially when they did an airplane shot pull back as he drove over a bridge over a deep canyon.

TOD: I don't recall fire ever, but yes some unwanted smoke, like when I used to make homemade pizza on English muffins or bread in the broiler; and then pulling out the plug seemed to do the trick.

My mom was frying chicken once and the grease caught fire - she dumped a bag of flour on it to put the fire out.

We didn't have fried chicken for dinner that night.

TOD

I don't think I ever set anything on fire, but I'll never forget the pot of dirty rice I kept on the burner too long. It was a prepared packet I'd brought back from New Orleans in the mid-1990s, absolutely delicious except for the burned taste that, even though the burned part was just in the bottom of the pot, sadly permeated even the unburned parts I rescued. Not badly enough to throw out, mind you, because - like DR Rodzinski and the tuna pouches - I was not going to be denied. I got to eat probably 90% of the contents, but I'm thinking it took a couple of DAYS of soaking to get that pot cleaned.

Thanks for that link!

Even though it says so on the screen, I hadn't noticed before that it was Michael Parks himself singing the closing credits theme song.

TOD - part two:

For actual smoke (but not fire), we had a turkey in the oven that we might not have basted enough (we are nuts about basting, so that would have been a lapse), or the oven was just too hot for that stage of the roasting, and the top got singed and caused smoke. It was unpleasant getting that cleared out, but to my recollection no turkey has ever been ruined here.

I was cooking peasant on a tiny stove in a tiny apartment. I didn’t realize that dish was a flambé. It never said anything like that in the instructions. I added the alcohol and whoosh!! The dish went up in flames. Right next to the apartment wall. I had the lid handy, but the fire, which had been more than 2 feet high, burned out almost in an instant.
