The food processor whirred merrily on, with the cloves saturating the pumpkin mix. I added a lot of other stiff to that pie filling, including quite a large swig of bourbon, in the attempt to dilute the cloves. But that pie tasted like cigarette butts! Links to this post. I saw Being Elmo. Links to this post.

RichardtheTenor: June 2012

A journal of my travels, my gigs, my enthusiasms and my rants. Sunday, June 17, 2012. For Father’s Day I am remembering not only my Daddy but his cat, his George. George was a Siamese and Daddy called him “my special friend.”. He would sit on top of the china cabinet and bat at people’s heads as they walked by. Daddy had a cleaning woman who once called him at work to complain, “Mr Slade, George won’t let me up the stairs! 8221; He was a large cat and had occupied one step and wouldn’t move. At...Daddy a...

It’s Zinka’s birthday. (I got a little ahead of myself and posted about her birthday on FaceBook yesterday.) The grand Croat Diva would have been 106 today, and I’m sure she’d still have a floating high B flat. Why does Zinka matter – and to whom should she matter? Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch?

A journal of my travels, my gigs, my enthusiasms and my rants. Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Samuel D. Slade. May 1, 1913 – October 15, 1973. During the summers Daddy was sent to Maine to hunt and fish. He had a French Canadian guide named Neal Rancourt. Trout fishing was a love that stayed with Daddy for his whole life, even after he lost a whole day’s catch to a bear who helped himself to all the fish strung up outside the cabin one night! His family continued to plague him – when his Uncle Ben died Da...

The Minister at our UU society, Peggy Clarke, asked us all in her sermon this morning if anything of great importance had ever happened to any of us in restaurants. Well, I got my name, my internet name, in a restaurant: Yorkside Pizza in New Haven. And years later when internet handles became a way of life I remembered. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

RichardtheTenor: No Plums Were Injured in the Making of This Pudding

http://richardthetenor.blogspot.com/2012/12/no-plums-were-injured-in-making-of-this.html

A journal of my travels, my gigs, my enthusiasms and my rants. Wednesday, December 26, 2012. No Plums Were Injured in the Making of This Pudding. Here is the recipe for the plum pudding I made on Xmas Eve. This is what I grew up having every year but haven't cooked in ages. Set a huge pot half filled with water to boil. I used a pasta pot with an insert so that the pudding could boil without touching the bottom. Mother used a big pot with a round cake rack inside. Step 1) Sift together. 1 tsp baking soda.

I think Brecht and Weill could have pulled this off, a supremely tasteless yet necessary grilling of delusion as a way of enduring existence. And Weill is what would have made it work – there is a visceral thrill to his Berlin music that might have carried the book. But Sondheim and Weidman’s. I know she’s in Ragtime! I’m glad I saw Assassins. And I don’t need to see it again. Links to this post. Pumping Gas in My Tux.

A journal of my travels, my gigs, my enthusiasms and my rants. Monday, October 3, 2011. If ever a musical warranted constant comparison with past performances that musical would be Follies. The Theater was set up as a wreck, with decaying walls and cloths hanging above. And there was a sound, wind whistling through the broken windows perhaps (although it also suggested an ultrasound! If there had been a chandelier we could have gone right into Phantom. And the poses for the role, but not much voice or ac...
