Making a mistake here that I'm sure to regret when I get no sleep this week, but I'm starting the Andrew Davies version of Little Dorrit, which was always one of my favorite Dickens novels. It's something like 14 hours long.

With a young Claire Foy?

Yes.

Four!

Has anyone watched the 2020 series The Defeated? I read that it was originally titled Shadowplay. If I type Shadowplay on IMDB The Defeated shows up instead.

Tomorrow is President's Day. The day celebrated by buying furniture, apparently.

Good night, friends.

I think we will watch that after we finish Father Brown. We have a one week free subscription to BritBox and are watching two episodes a night.

'night

So, this Dorrit is only 7.5 hours, but it is good. All the twists of the knife that Dickens was so expert in turning.

Good night, all.

The cats and I have lounged about watching the PBS cooking shows. I'm having some pasta, and then I will return to my lounging.

Speaking of pasta, does anyone here like an arrabbiata sauce? I didn't know about it till a couple of months ago when someone told me to get a jar and try it. Apparently the really great brand to get is Rao's, and the only one I found that day was Vesper Bros. But wow, what a great new experience in tomato sauces. It packs some heat from crushed red pepper, but it's not outrageously hot or overbearing (for my taste), and the flavor is absolutely incredible.

Not surprisingly, I've never heard of arrabbiata sauce. I think I might have to look for it.

Virtually any Italian sauce can become "arrabbiata" by adding red pepper flakes to it. I was introduced to it during my first tour in Italy in 1973 (was stationed in Italy 1973-1977 and again 1987-1992).

Of course, it's best when it's made by an Italian cooki!! Just my experience.

I was antsy for some light entertainment this evening, and my channel guide did not offer any hope.

I went to Disney+ and what do you think? I watched "The Parent Trap" (Hayley Mills, Brian Keither, Maureen O'Hara). A totally wonderful film after you get through a lengthy and somewhat annoying title/credits sequence.

Tomorrow is President's Day. A holiday, IIRC.

No mail delivery, of course.

And sometimes there are some decent sales in major stores.

That said, I am off to dreamland.

Good night.

Where was everybody today?

TCB · « **Reply #106 on:** February 20, 2022, 11:37:02 PM »

We can’t make it.

We need cleaver dialog.

TCB · « **Reply #111 on:** February 20, 2022, 11:38:36 PM »

Wrong!

TCB · « **Reply #112 on:** February 20, 2022, 11:38:53 PM »

Any dialog will do.

TCB · « **Reply #115 on:** February 20, 2022, 11:40:03 PM »

The problem is these East coasters.

TCB · « **Reply #116 on:** February 20, 2022, 11:40:28 PM »

They all go to bed too early.

TCB · « **Reply #117 on:** February 20, 2022, 11:41:02 PM »

Or we need some new west coast recruits.

TCB · « **Reply #118 on:** February 20, 2022, 11:41:34 PM »

Hmmm, how to attract the right people.

TCB · « **Reply #119 on:** February 20, 2022, 11:41:55 PM »

Or even the left people.
