Do Ricky Martin and Gilbert Roland count as favorite dishes from South of the border?

Then there's Lupe Velez, of course.

The best sticky buns are from Anne Sather's in Chicago OR from El Chorro Lodge in Scottsdale. They just keep bringing baskets of them -- to the point you really dion't want to order or eat any real food- just the sticky buns.

Happy Birthday, Noel!!!!

My 21st birthday (if I recall correctly), was spent dining on the Queen Mary in Long Beach. I was then whisked to the the Long Beach Center for Performing Arts (which had just opened) and saw Carol Channing in "Hello Dolly." All I knew about the evening ahead of time was to not make any other plans and to be dressed and ready to go to the airport.

Later that year, I went to Las Vegas for the first and only time. You had be 21 then to get into any of the shows--- this was before it became Disneyland. While we there, Elvis died, and as I have said before, Las Vegas took it VERY seriously. I think they even dimmed all the slot machines for 60 seconds.

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!

Well, I got my eight hours of sleep... So, I can check that off my To Do List for today. Now I just have to make sure to get the rest of my To Do List done today before show time.

It feels like a Sunday to me. Of course, it's not since it's actually Monday. But Monday is usually my day off, but we have a show tonight. So, tomorrow, Tuesday, will be my day off. So, will tomorrow feel like Monday to me? -Oh, I think I get it now: Since tomorrow, Tuesday, will be my day off this week, today feels like Sunday since normally Monday is my day off, consequently, today feels like Sunday, since tomorrow will be my Monday this week.

Makes sense to me! -Skipper? Gilligan? Professor? Ginger? Care to chime in?

Thank you for the Birthday greetings for DD Rachel. She'll be coming back from San Fran today and we're going out for Japanese food tonight - her choice. Benihana, actually. There's a sentimental attachment. When she was little we always celebrated special events there and had a Polaroid taken by the waitress -- which they put into one of their little Benihana cardboard holders. (Coincidentally, it's also where she and her boyfriend had their first date. He did not know of the family Benihana tradition -- and picked the place on his own.) Somewhere among my junk there exists a gallery of Benihana pictures of Rachel growing up. And, of course, they’ll sing “Happy Birthday” in Japanese.
DD is especially looking forward to – for the first time - being able to order a NON-VIRGIN Pina Colada at Benihana!

Alas, no pretty snowfall to wake up to this morning/afternoon. We truly just got a dusting. However, it's cold here too. We may get up to 35 degrees today. And to think it was 70 degrees last Wednesday!?!?!?

Or is it Mary Ann?

Yesterday was Monday to me and threw me off completely. I just figure I'll be confused all week.

OK...

I must be productive over the next few hours. Laundry, cleaning, sorting, etc. And I guess I should finally pack up my small artificial Christmas tree sitting in the window too. I'll be back...

Laters...

NOEL, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

I had to wait for Keith to catch up before celebrating my coming of drinking age. Not too long after we went to Las Vegas where I kept getting stopped by security in the casino’s every few minutes to check my ID. For the most part they were very friendly about it, except when we went to the newly opened MGM hotel. I was stopped as usual, showed by ID and the man had the nerve to yell at me for looking so young and wasting his time

Jose those sticky buns look delicious. The best, and I mean by far the best, sticky buns were in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania.

La Jolie Femme the story of your 21st birthday is very sweet. I also learned to dance perched on top of my father’s feet.

I can not recommend Noah's Bagels (i.e., the bagels themselves). They are dry and too dense. There are a number of wonderful boutique bakeries here in Portland (Marsee's, for example) that make stupendous bagels. Some of Noah's other items are pretty good, though.

And where besides Noah's can I get an egg bagel. I went to countless stores and they all asked if I wanted an egg on my bagel.

Wow! Listen to this... All this talk of 21st Birthdays got me thinking, trying to remember where I was. I finally decided that I must've been at college in Windsor, Ontario. So then I remembered that my college chums had given me funny cards... And then I remembered that I had put a bunch of cards away. Now all you children out there, who are saying, "So what?" -- we're talking a LONG time ago.
So I open a drawer into which I'd thrown all sorts of "I'll deal with this later in the century" junk; I reach in, and the first thing I pick up is an envelope on which is written "21st Birthday Cards"!

My favorite is from a certain Sister Emma - a fabulous nun who lived on my floor in the dorms. Emma, who became a nun in her teens and was in her (late?) thirties when I knew her, was an incredible person. And the thing she loved most in the world was theater - especially musical theater. She was very respectful of the fact that I was Jewish, so she wrote a quotation from Rabbi Loew on the top of her card:
"In some special way each person completes the universe."
IMO, that's a perfect thing to say to a person turning 21. Especially to the 21-year-old I was. I really had no idea of what my role in life was going to be. I just wanted to be on stage, to be somewhere I could pretend to be someone I wasn't. And she was saying to me, "YOU - the person you are - is of value."

There was a long hadwritten message in the card - and she ends by saying, "Do remember me!"
I certainly do - and always will.

DRCillaliz, welcome to the zoo.

DRGinny, happy anniversary to you and Richard!

As to Ms Chenowith, I'm glad you enjoyed her performance, but she's singing for the Bush inauguration and she's no longer a friend of mine.

I've just finished listening to the Encores recording of THE NEW MOON, which is quite wonderful, and perhaps the best thing Rob Fisher's ever done. It's truly naughty operetta time, and Rodney Gilfry in "Wanting You" hits a note that is totally Dudley Doright. Christiane Noll must hit 100 high Cs, and she's amazing, but her mother was an operetta star so the genes are all there. The 1928 orchestrations of Emil Gerstenberger, Al Goodman and Hans Spialek sound wonderful. I highly recommend it.

Now I'm waiting for my beloved goddaughter, who's coming over to watch the remake of OCEANS 11, so that we can see OCEANS 12 in the next week.

DRPanni, great story! Like DRMBarnum, I have no memory of my 21st birthday. 30, yes, but 21, too much sex and drugs! But that was eons ago.

Having the usual stupid trouble with AOL, which keeps freezing when I try to go to any website. I'm here via Safari, which, I must say, always works just fine. If the AOL problems continue (I'm sure it's on their end) then I'm going to seriously start thinking about ridding myself of it, even though alerting everyone to the e-mail change would be a big old pain in the butt cheeks. It's why I haven't done it yet. We shall see.

If Noel hasn't been here because he's fighting with the idiot at ratm, then I don't know what to say. You can't win with the idiot - he's a full-blown psychopath who will just ignore when convenient, play the victim, and always have the last word. These types are not peculiar to ratm - they are on every Usenet newsgroup - bullyboys who want to run the show.

Where'd everybody go all of a sudden? I did the usual fix for AOL - restarted the computer. Why that should fix their stupid problems, I have no idea but it always seems to.

This transplanted New Yorker will attest under oath that those round things with a hole in the middle they sell at Noah's have nothing to do with authentic New York bagels. The best bagels I've found here (and they would pass as New Yorkish in a blind taste test) come from Goldstein's, with locations in Pasadena, Arcadia and La Canada Flintridge, of all places.

Happy birthday, DR Noel and DD Rachel! And happy anniversary, DR Ginny!

Whew!

On my 21st birthday, I watched M*A*S*H and went to school. And then my mom, DR Kerry, and I got cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. And I fenced that night. Wild and crazy, huh?

Riding the bus is always an adventure. The other day, I was riding around and I heard some lady say, "I can't see the ocean from here." I'm sure that's what she said, although I have no idea why.

And the bus driver looked like how my 349-pound psycho-therapist would if my psycho-therapist gained about a hundred pounds. I know this is a really mean thing to say, but the green shirt he was wearing made him look like the Giant Green Blob.

And here's something I learned last night. DC (Dear Cat), whose name has been Tumbly ever since he was three months old, answers to the name Lloyd. Can anyone explain that?

Sandra · « **Reply #115 on:** January 17, 2005, 11:26:56 AM »

And my favorite Mexican restaurant is Earl's in Sun City, where you have to be at least 65 to live there. Earl's serves Mexican-style food for elderly gringos. It's worth the 25-mile drive.

Sandra · « **Reply #116 on:** January 17, 2005, 11:27:54 AM »

And then there's el floopo. Floop with salsa.

Noah's is bad - which is why I'm reluctant to get a sticky bun from there. I may journey out soon in search of a proper bakery.

Mel Brooks said he's not filming The Producers here because Toronto has lousy bagels. But he's wrong. There are at least half a dozen top-notch bagel bakeries, my favorite being Hamishe (as in homey) Bagels. On the other hand, we also have a chain called the Great Canadian Bagel Company. I had to walk through one to get into Home Depot (that should tell you something right there) - and they were featuring Peperoni Bagels.
