I learn SUCH interesting things on HHW. The Schwinn Bell Choir, for instance. I'm so glad they were wearing their helmets; one wouldn't want to set a bad example.

Horrible story about all Danise went through. I'm glad she's landed on her feet--and has a new car, to boot.

Congrats to all those who received awards or nominations.

I'm glad TCB's laptop fix was such an easy one.

Good morning and a very Happy New Year to all!

Pork ribs (country style so no bones) and Sauerkraut are in the slow cooker for my family traditional first meal of the year. I'll make mashed potatoes and bread rolls as well.

I did modify the recipe somewhat--I cut and added a green apple, an onion, some brown sugar and a quarter cup of beer to the Sauerkraut.

Do you know how hard it is to find a single can of beer to buy? I have to pour the rest of it down the drain since I won't drink it. I don't mind cooking with wine and other spirits but I can't stand the taste by itself. Yuck.

Anyway, we will give it a try and see what we get.

What is everyone else having for their First meal?

Danise neither the Vixter nor Vixdad will touch sauerkraut or anything tta has touched sauerkraut but I think yoiur meal sounds delicious

I'm hankering for some of that myself. I'm making cole slaw, and Bonnie is whipping up colcannon with bangers. Close, but not quite the same.

I should put on my glasses. I read that as "badgers."

I believe fried badger is a traditional Kentucky dish, if not a Texas one as well.

DR Jeanne I don't remember Aiken Ave by name though I'm sure I road my bike on it at some point in my childhood

I did find this charming cottage style home that recently sold for $1,300,000. Might it have been your uncle's?

Yes, actually, it might have been! It looked just like that, but without the picket fence.

Aiken parallels Patricia, one street to the west.

From last night:

Quote from Singdaw:
DR Jeanne - many people don't know that in Rodgers & Hammerstein's first draft of Oklahoma!, the song was called THE BOOTS WITH THE TASSEL ON THE BACK.
_________________________________________________ _____________________________

Quite true, this is not at all well known. Tassels actually have had a long and checkered history, but as this is a family site we won't go into all of that here. Of course, one is always pleased to see that our HHW DRs have such extensive knowledge of musical theatre history. Thanks for the reminder.

And on that note I must depart.

Funny that it might really have been your uncle's house. I do like it very much.

We've been watching episodes of Mozart in the Jungle on Amazon.

It's not great TV, but it's entertaining, and it's fun to see the world of NY classical music portrayed. You kind of have to suspend your disbelief, as you do also for bk's favorite movie, Grand Piano.

And Bernadette Peters is always a plus.

Thereby crowning both of my home states in culinary glory. Don't forget the creamed coon gravy to go on the side.

Back from a fun partay - lots of lovely people, good food - it feels like I overate but when I add up the food it doesn't amount to that much.

I have some Swedish cast recordings, but I have no idea what they're singing or saying.

And since we're so close...
