Oops, that's not a turkey! We're always searching for reality worth watching to tell you about, and here's another. If you're looking for something light after a heavy Thanksgiving meal, try some sushi. Jiro Dreams of Sushi, that is. Jiro Dreams is a 2011 Japanese documentary (it has subtitles) about Michelin three-star sushi chef Jiro Ono, whose small, simple restaurant makes the best sushi in the world.
Ono has been working nearly his whole life. At age seven, his alcoholic father abandoned him, and at age nine, he started working in a sushi shop. He never stopped.
Ono's hard work and dedication is admirable, but his perfectionism is controversial among some. Once, one of his employees had to make 200 batches of egg sushi before Ono was satisfied. His sons, who are in their 50's, are still waiting to take over the restaurant. Ono admits he treats them harder than anyone else who worked for him. How far do you have to go to make a perfect plate, and can you go too far?
Discuss Thanksgiving, recipes, Black Friday, whatever suits your fancy, and Jiro, which is available for streaming or rent on Netflix, as well as Amazon.com
. Enjoy your holiday!

Cause this Italian Sausage looks under cooked
Admin -- Have you been following the story of the kid from "Two and a Half Men" calling the show filth and urging people not to watch it? That might be worth a post. I wonder if he's another kid pushed into work by his parents. Apparently he was underage when the last contract renewal came up, so he may not have had any say in the matter.
I'm not going on KKs twitter or blog or whatever to look at the slop. It's my dinner time and I don't wan to ruin my appetite. The descriptions here are hard enough to stomach, LOL. BTW -- I have some Italian friends and they shudder at the idea of calling something "cacciatore" and then serving it over rice. In fact, they tell me I shouldn't call my cacciatore "cacciatore" because I leave out the mushrooms. Some things are sacred.
Readerlady...
CAMERA was probably a contractual thing. Different networks, different production companies
-----------------------------
Thanks for responding Readerlady. That makes sense.
She tweeted that picture and we commented on her "cacciatore". We said the sausage should have been browned first. Then the recipe comes out, she is certain to instruct that the sausage should be browned. Yeah, and she'd never admit she reads here.
It's easy to see she used canned mushrooms. I guess they have their place in this world, but fresh are so much nicer. Mushrooms don't have much of a taste, but fresh ones do make a difference in a recipe, IMO.
I almost forgot -- OT -- for all you readers out there who have Kindles or downloaded the Kindle app to your computer. Amazon's daily deal today is 1000's of books marked way down. I just checked out the mystery section and there are over 800 mysteries, most costing less than $3. Grand Masters, like Charlotte MacLeod, Ruth Rendell, a few Ellery Queen, Dorothy L. Sayers, Patricia Wentworth, Hugh Pentecost, and contemporary writers like Anne Perry and Susan Dunlap and Donald Westlake, David Handler, Stuart Kaminsky. Really worth checking out. Their Daily sales usually end at Midnight, PST, so you have some time to look at the lists. Just go to Amazon and search Daily Deal.
Certain fan blog moderators targeted certain haters. Years ago. Followed their patterns, kept track of ips, screen names etc.
The hater was terminated because 3 separate members of that fan blog contacted human resources and the final straw was when hater tweeted that the pie woman was a psycho bitch. Her husband called and said "she's disparaging my family!" Company wasn't taking any chances with the litigious threats from 2 the blog of
IdolWorshipping.
She was allowed to be on the Internet. It was the harrassment from outsiders that caused her dismissal.
The fired hater is not doing well. She's a single -mom with a deadbeat ex. She's my friend and if administrator wants me to email my proof, I will.
Yeah, and she'd never admit she reads here.
******
Way too much of a coindidence and it looks exactly like the food she tweeted a few weeks ago.
Yeah, the kids from Two and a Half men. How weird! I have wondered about his youth spent with the likes of Charlie Sheen. I would not want my child around that.

That is one of the most mean-spirited things. I hope your friend begins to recover from such hatred targeted at her.
That IS the same dish/pic- I looked at the two photos and could tell by two slices of sausage stuck together at the bottom and the position of a red pepper slice,,,hehe, I was bored!
If those kids are giving her foods high marks, it's because they're starving. I remember when I used to watch the show, I marveled at how those little kids ate hummus and wasabi peas. Now I know why - they were famished.

That actor sounds like a religious fanatic to me, not anyone who has anything credible to say about being on tv. I was planning to do a post on Tia and Tamara Mowry however.

I love Chinese food but have never had Korean.
What he described sounded delicious. I must try kim chee sometime. I can get it in the city near here.
******************************************
Fidosmommy, my SIL is Korean. My brother met her in Korea when he was stationed there in the Army in the 1970's. When they visited our family she would always make the kim chee which thrilled my dad. He would eat it and the sweat would just pour off his forehead (sorry, hope that's not too much info). But he LOVED it! It was too spicy for me as I have a sensitive stomach but it was fun to watch our dad enjoy it so much.

Oh my gosh, somebody posted that it has been erally quiet on het web-site and......tadaah, an amzing recipe we should all share with our family so they will smile :-). Im just amazed why she would cook those vegetables for 30 min??? When they are fresh, green beans at the most for 5 min, 30 min is a waste for snap peas they only need to be trown in at the last minute and warmed through and peppers will turn into a kind of gooey snot in 30 minutes, such a waste of good vegetables ;-( And those portions.....wow, wouldnt feed my (only) 5! kids.

thanks, yup, it's the same dish. Using old material.
I hope this post doesn't get buried and/or overlooked because it's on such a big thread but I wanted to kindly ask that the wonderful posters here who live on the East Coast and are going to be watching DWTS tonight to NOT spoil it in any way, shape or form for those of us on the West Coast until we get to watch it. I understand there are reviews on the Internet about it after it airs but many of us prefer to be completely surprised. Just a kind request...
Yes, she sure is lazy. I agree she posted this after reading here..at least she admits that frozen and canned 'vege' can be used. It was near the day she had her chicken 'caracas' prepared for 'Shoka' that she posted this dish the first time, saying she used what was 'on hand' What happened to the chicken before it became a caracas then?
Kate plans to make a ham for Xmas

Unless Kate gets a fresh or VA ham, you turn your oven on, apply glaze an heat. Easy peasy.

I hope she doesn't cut herself on the can.
I see ham cacciatore in the kids' future. Kate might have some cauliflower "on hand" too.
I wonder if she still makes the 'traditional' sticky buns and hot cocoa..."always has been always will be" what they have for breakfast. (fake Xmas episode)
Yes! No spoilers for any show please! *looking at you Joy* LOL
It's rare to find a site on the internet that DOESN'T post spoilers and I thought I found one here! Please NO SPOILERS!!!

No kidding, it's pink. Ewwwweeeee.
I make an awesome sausage and pepper dish with red, yellow and orange
peppers (don't like green). It looks nothing like that, even without
instagram.

That is so sad. You just don't wantonly mess with someone's job.
Over Kate Gosselin no less 1208
Now this is ANOTHER book that someone needs to write.
JW, so glad you brought this up. I believe everyone here respects each other enough not to spoil DWTS for others.
Another thing.....anything besides my dogs ( black female lab)dried diet and dry chews will give her the Sh.ts, yes capitol S....., I tried boiling beefs joints, carcasses, but its a mess for about days ;-( I know excactly when she got hold of something whats not part of her diet :-) So no Fancy-Schmansy-Turkey-Caracas for my pup!
Also please let's not discuss outings even unjust ones. It's blogs on blogs. I do not want to set ourselves up in a war with any other blog. Thank you
A big thank you (applauding) for saying that! No need for us to getting involved with their drama. I don't know nor do I care. They need to figure it out on their own not here.
Kate's adoring sheeple need to get together and buy her a basic cook book for Xmas. BASIC is the key word. Anything beyond that and she's out of her realm. Milo could start the collection and if there's any money left over they should buy her a Mother Chip because she really, really needs one of those too.
No never means no, except...
NO blog on blogs, outings included
NO spoilers, for DWTS especially
NO fancy-schmancy chicken caracas for Amanda, Iowa's pups!
Am I missing anything?
(just playing, NO snark intended)
I saw that tweet about her Xmas ham, now there's an original thought. Seriously, I do like ham and will probably get one for the SIL, but we all know that Milo will be begging for the Gosselin family recipe. How many lbs for a family of 8 (K8 only eats salad or fish in paper)? Divide by 4, and she will probably save half for leftovers. Long month ahead.

Do you think Kate ate any of that cacciatore?
Or was that a yogurt for dinner night?
Kate, calling a dish cacciatore doesn't make it cacciatore.
I think where Kate went wrong with the sausage was to brown the links whole. If you're going to serve the sausage sliced you need to slice it before browning so that each bite sized piece is brown and crisp. If you're going to cook the links whole you need to cook them a bit longer.
What Kate is presenting is a "dump and dine" dish. Dump whatever you've got into a skillet, cook the hell out of it and dine. Kate seems to be quite fond of the dump and dine method from what we've seen in the past. Kate, "dump and dine" is mine and I do not give you permission to use it. Everyone here is my witness!
One of my favorite comfort meals is kimchi stew/soup. Whenever we go out for it I always bring my own container for them to put the leftovers in. You do not want any kimchi dish leaking in your car! Luckily we're in a military town so we've got at least 3 good Korean restaurants. I think kimchi stew/soup will be in my future this week.
I did not bring up the subject. I saw a few posts with (some) untrue accusations so I told the story as I know it. I believe there were about 4 comments about it before I chimed in.
Come on Cliff Notes....You just wanted to stir things up. We are good here with the way things are. We don't need that drama. Take it somewhere else. Thank you
One more comment. Part of Kate's cooking instructions are "In the same pan, combine all vegetables except the scallions and mushrooms. Saute until cooked, but still crunchy. Add the sausage, oregano and wine. Cover and cook for 30 minutes over medium high heat.". Doesn't cooking covered over medium high defeat he purpose of sautéing until cooked but still crunchy? Cooking cover over medium high heat for 30 minutes is basically boiling it for 30 minutes. Not ver appetizing for a sausage and pepper type meal.

DANCIN WITH THEM THAR STARS is on east coast now! You can vote for Melissa and Saint Tony of the Ballroom by calling 1-800-868-3406 now and up to one hour after the show goes off. Calls are limited to for from each phone line, so call and tell your friends to call!
All of the contestants are doing great! I thought Kelly and Val were going to start ripping clothing off of each other. Val kisses her all the time!
And Melissa had barely any clothes in during their first number! Shawn is using all her gymnastic skills!
******************************************
Huh? I don't get it?? So much for not sharing ANYTHING about the show before it airs on the west coast. :(
Wow! The USA Olympic Gymnastic team is going to perform with Shawn and Derek for their freestyle! If you are not watching, you can see it at ABC.com tomorrow. Fabulous routines!

Yes, you'd basically be cooking the veggies way past al dente. Bell peppers get to a point of no return and just go to mush.
I've overcooked before.You have to keep an eye on the peppers and give them a taste test every now and then.
For all you tea drinkers, Celestial Seasonings has made a lovely decaff green tea called Candy Cane Lane. It is wonderful and the peppermint is not overpowering. I think I may just stock up for the winter.
JW, it is the freestyle competition night! You gotta watch and you gotta vote for your favorites! Its a fabulous show, but all the finales are fabulous shows. That is not a spoiler, the finales are always fabulous!
I an not going anywhere near a message board tomorrow, cause if Saint Tony wins there is no way I could not post about it!
Seriously, even if you don't watch the show, watch it online, everyone is fantastic! Its the finale, they are supposed to be fantastic!
Joy, perhaps you haven't read all the posts, but you've been asked (as have we all on the East coast) specifically to not comment on DWTS. I know I've blabbed about it before, but as non-specific as my comments were, some West coasters were upset because they don't want any spoilers whatsoever, so I keep it zipped until the next day.
Shaking my head.
Please do not post anything about dancing with the stars even things you think are insignificant until it airs on the West Coast.
Why are you dropping all this information Joy when people have begged you not to do any spoilers? I don't get it. I don't watch DWTS but I would be furious if you had been asked not to and you just keep on an on. What is your point?
And I am not going to be reading this blog anytime after DWTS starts on the east coast tomorrow evening until it finishes in my timezone. There is just too much of a chance someone will post something that gives the results away. It's happened too many times in the past for me to risk it.
Milo posted some time ago on another blog...
I can't devote much time here as I have family, work, volunteer assignments and other matters to attend to. But I can take a few minutes a day to say something to support Kate. Can we all not do that?
_____
How did this casual support morph into a bizarre idol worship where this woman tweets to Kate that she would love to have dinner ready for her, and help her select her clothing? How does she now find time to devote so many hours in the day to "supporting" her "non-idol?" She tweeted for 17 hours out of 24, and yet she says that she has a few minutes a day to tweet support? Try HOURS...many hours!
Wow Joy? Are you kidding me? Unreal!!

Wow, someone sure is taking a lot of time and effort to post under multiple screen names.
Remember how sad you felt when you snooped before Christmas and found your toys? Such a let down after the first burst of excitement. How you had to pretend surprise on Christmas morning? Deciding never do that again to others or yourself because you can never get that Christmas morning again.

I'm entitled to my opinion. My opinion is that one of your bloggy friends is very insensitive.
I don't watch DWTS but I am simply gobsmacked, Joy, that you can post anything about this show tonight after a) last week and b)being asked nicely, and specifically, to not say anything at all. I know this is not nice but please STFU already.

Joining a bash of a poster is what I would consider GroupThink.....especially when the ones bashing are using obviously phony names instead of their regular posting name!!
The best chance of getting Khate to end up at a sheeple gathering (grazing?) is for them to pick a date, place, games, etc, and talk it up on twitter/blogs/every pasture and paddock from here to Kiwi but NEVER ask Khate to come or say exactly when/where it is.

It looks like Deanna spent her Thanksgiving break deleting tweets. Not sure I'm ready to totally commit to this yet since Twitter's often wonky. But all the tweets between Nov 4 and today are gone and that includes all her tweets discussing custody issues. She's been tweeting tonight in response to some of the sheeple but it's all pretty benign. Could she have smartened up and realized that her relationship with Kate and the personal information she shared on Twitter (which is never really gone - some of it's posted here and elsewhere) was costing her work?
Twitter usually rights itself in a few hours - I'll check in tomorrow.
If she did delete tweets, I'd expect her to use another Twitter name to continue her insults, etc. She was really into the nastiness and I can't imagine that'll disappear. After all, it's her BFF who needs her support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anonymous #8........76:
Agree! I posted under a different name only because I don't want Joy to know from this point on that I was not happy about something she did. You know, keep the peace after this blows over.
I would, though, be willing to own my post if it helps certain ones to know that the posts are likely coming from many....not 1 or 2 posting under a bunch of different names.
Well, not to throw more coals on the fire, but -- I will be soooooooooooooo happy when DWTS is over. I don't like the show, I don't watch the show, and I get tired of scrolling past half the posts on Monday and Tuesday nights. However, I think you're being too tough on Joy here. We all have our little enthusiasms and hobby horses and we ride them to death sometimes. I know I do. Y'all are probably sick to death of reading my posts about books and cats. We need to cut each other a little slack now and then. We're family here, and even annoying family members should be forgiven. In the meantime, Joy, for the love of all that's holy, give it a rest. PLEASE! PRETTY PLEASE WITH RUMSPRINGA ON TOP!!
I did the unthinkable - I went to twazzup.com to check on kart's twitter numbers. Please don't hate me - LOL.
She is cranking in those tweets on her account at an astounding [wait for it!] ***15*** tweets per hour. Boy, I bet her head is spinning...
I can hear the shouting now "hey you kids, go upstairs, mommy dearest is busy, busy, busy reading on twitter... er, I mean I'm 'working'"
Zoiks! 15 TPH --- the only one who doesn't realize she is dunzo, kaput, last year's hazbeen, irrelevant, unimportant, discarded and forgotten..... is kart! I often wonder what color the sky is in kart's world....
I think she will limp along for a while, but for all intents and purposes, she no longer exists in celebrityville.
her website is an embarrassment, her tweets are pitiful, her followers have dwindled to negligible tweets of inane content, she gets no contacts from her celebrity friends like Tony, Pamela Anderson, Terri from downunder...
All her *so-called lifelong friends* at DWTS, we are hearing no more from Deanna, and who's that guy in NYC who USED to do her straw? Haven't heard anything about her straw trips lately.
And purseboy seems to be MIA... seems he might have finally had to go out and get a real, paying job.
Personally I hate to find pleasure in someone else's trouble. For kart, I make an exception because I hope and pray that this might make her stay home with her kids and FINALLY realize what treasures they can be.
Maybe some time to reflect will prompt her visit to a doc for some therapy and meds to chill out her harsh, abusive personality.
Yeah, I agree..... won't ever happen.
Hope everyone had a good holiday. I've been staying away from here mostly because she makes my stomach turn. Hoffman's book did me in. But the cool posters (and you know who you are, you party animals! LOL) draw me back.
And Joy, I have to chime in too. Please quit saying "dancing with them thar stars". Did I miss the joke? It's really irritating...... JMO.
Jane, thanks for keeping us updated on Deanna the Defender. I kind of doubt it's a Twitter glitch but I'll be interested to see it confirmed. It does make me go...hmmmm. A falling out perhaps?
It's very quiet over there. I'm glad there's been a partial boycott by the haters. It's made a big difference. It lets us see what a ghost town her Twitter really is.

~~~~~~~~~~
OK...maybe it's just me, but posting under a different name in order to bash someone, is in my opinion, really two-faced and hypocritical. What is so awful about using your regular name to tell her you're unhappy with her? It seems to me that she might take criticism from a regular poster a LOT more seriously than being bashed by a bunch of obviously fake names.
Stop ganging up on Joy. She's been warned. Move on.
Cliff Notes:
I know the subject your posting about isn't popular here, or even permitted per the blogs on blogs rule, and it may be that my post is deleted and that's okay. I get it :) I do want you to know that what you're trying to share is important and shouldn't be brushed under the run and forgotten. Hope you can continue to get the message out via other routes.
While we are at it can the some of the posters here end this rumspringa crap? It wasn't funny the first time and certainly isn't funny the millioneth time!
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8
After this day, I have no more words left...So simply,Good night my twitter friends aka supporters/ones who cheer me up & make me smile! XO

All I know is that I came home from curling and see that the wheels done fell off this blog all about DWTS! I agree with RL.
And I don't think that anyone saying "Oh the show was amazing and everyone danced great" is a spoiler in any way shape or form.
When we were watching the Dust Bowl and people were saying that they were moved by it and how fantastic it was, no one cried foul about spoilers. And yes, I realize that one is a competetion show and the other is not. But can't we all be grown up about this?
And if we're being honest, I will say that this smells more like someone has it in for Joy and this has nothing to do with DWTS. JMO, as always.
Also, what ever it is that kHate cooked doesn't resemble cacciatore in any way shape or form. As an Italian and a retired chef I am insulted and disgusted by her slop!
Readerlady,
I LOVE it when you talk about books and cats! I just started re-reading the John Grisham series. It's been a few years and I'd forgotten what a gifted writer he is.
I like hearing about things other than the crap that is kart. I know that we wouldn't be here if she wasn't such an ass, but it's been fun to talk with so many articulate and funny ladies about so many interesting topics.
Speaking of, weren't you one of the ones of us trying GABA Calm? I used it for a while and found it wasn't as effective after a couple of months. Did you find that also?

The boycott/slowdown/moving on/whatever is big. I hope the non-fans realize what a difference this makes and stick to it. As for a falling out between the pals, no idea! Deanna's responses to the sheeple have Kate's Twitter name in them but that's because the name was included in the original tweet, there haven't been any direct tweets to Kate.
Musing,
Rumspring is always funny! LOL

I read about this Twitter "boycott" here...don't know where it started, but Kate's twitter has slowed down a great deal. I was surprised that there wasn't an avalanche of "OMG! Your such a great cook! I wish I could make that!" after she posted the recipe today.
That usually drives traffic to her Twitter.
I don't watch DWTS anymore and it's not because Kate isn't there, dancing like the wooden Robax woman, but because I think they're pushing people who aren't trained dancers too far. There seems to be more injuries every season and with every injury the ratings increase. Reality tv will be the death of someone one of these days.

I missed that joke too.....!
I hope Deanna took the time to rethink her association with Kate. Deanna is too young to have her livelihood affected by the toxin that is Kate Gosselin.
Perm name,
No it's not. It bores most of us.
Emergency, emergency - Musings has lost her sense of humor!
Putting out a BOLO for a lost sense of humor, report back if anyone sees it!!!
Perm,
Haven't lost my sense of humor. Mine is just more evolved.
Good grief!! What is going on here? Now we're not supposed to say anything about
''rumspringa'' because someone doesn't like it? If you don't like it, scroll past it. I just have to take a deep breath and blink when I hear anyone say I don't like that, so you can't do it!! GROW UP!!

Ahem ... "Woah" there. You just stepped over the line sweetheart.
Auntie,
Umm I'm not your sweetheart, no matter how much you want that to be.
Remona,
I agree - we are in sore need of some light-hearted humor here tonight. This line of posting is exactly why I don't visit much anymore.
Some of the newer posters seem intolerant and lacking in kindness and patience. Seems to be the way of the world though.... the only really effective way to deal with it is to let it roll off.
Dwindle and Auntie Ann and Kiwi, where are you??? We need you!!!! LOL
Some nights are diamonds, some nights are stones.
If you don't like rumspringa it's okay we always are in need of DDs. Otherwise scroll past.
I'm thinking the stars must be out of alignment or something.....
I can't wait til the WHOLE story comes out. Something tells me the someone is leaving out important details.

There you go again, ruining another good relationship! LOL
You're going to kick yourself in the morning for letting that one get away....... bwaaaahahahaha
The stars are fine....just bored sheeple. Kate's not giving them enough attention.

---------------------
lol, Auntie! Well, at least I know who NOT to invite to the real Rumspringa party. Drinks are on me, too! :)
Auntie, I'll be your sweetheart, but only if there's any leftover rouladen. Sorry, I'm tough like that - I blame the rumspringa.
KIWI, where are you? Phone home!
So, who is a Downton Abbey fan? Season 3 starts in Jan. Can't wait!!!
Oh to more light-hearted conversation -
Does anyone else here make broths? I make chicken and veggie broths but this year was my first to make turkey broth.
Easy peasy and my goodness, is it ever delish!
Broth is part of a healthier food lifestyle we are working on. Its been fun and enlightening at the same time. We're trying to eat more healthy whole foods and have eliminated all processed foods and anything white from our diets.
Kale is an acquired taste, and I'm not there yet. But we are working on it. I heard that if you massage your kale it breaks down the cell walls and makes it less bitter. I noticed a little bit of change but not much.
I find the constant references to some posters who are not regular but may be lurking REALLY boring.
Still waiting for that apology, 'Joy'. It's not about a tv show it's about respect for other people.
How about some respect for these new posters? Or perhaps they aren't new but are regulars not using their own name? A few regulars ARE missing tonite...
I heard that if you massage your kale it breaks down the cell walls and makes it less bitter. I noticed a little bit of change but not much.
*******
I don't pick up bitter with kale but what I do for rapini is to blanch it for 2-3 minutes. After that, I generally saute it up with garlic and red pepper flakes and I notice a good reduction in the bitterness.
OK, I am REALLY out of the loop here. I haven't read a lot of the 3,257 comments on this thread or some other threads and am lost about:
- the twitter boycott. Who's boycotting what?
(I already know Who's on second.....)
- Deanna's deleted tweets about custody issues?
Whatever was going on there and why do some of you think she's finally seeing the light?
These are not snarky questions, they are real.
So anybody who'd like to enlighten me will be
properly thanked with leftover turkey. I understand it makes a dandy cacciatore.

OK Admin, I confess my brain might be a bit rumspringa-addled, but what is DDs???
Probably something very obvious, you'll tell us, and I'll kick myself for revealing my duncity....
Paula,
Not everyone who disagrees is a sheeple. That is why I am not using my regular posting name.
Permanent -- No, I wasn't one of the ones trying GABA. I take so much necessary prescription medication that I tend to stay away from herbal remedies and OTCs for fear of interactions. I'm glad to hear someone isn't bored by my books and cats chats ;-) .
NJGal -- Thanks for the info on the tea. I love peppermint tea. Reminds me of my grandmother, who used to give me peppermint tea when I was little. Celestial Seasonings always has great Holiday teas. Did you try any of the gingerbread flavored tea last year? It was really good.
DD - I vote Dunkin Donuts.
I heard that if you massage your kale it breaks down the cell walls
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Is this something that can be done in mixed company?
Paula,
LOVE Downton Abby but haven't seen all the shows.
Do you know how the valet/butler ended up in jail? He gets out, doesn't he?
Also, another excellent British show is "Midwives" or maybe "Calling All Midwives"...
I am a huge fan of the Masterpiece Theater Agatha Christie shows, especially with David Suchet as Poirot.
They all speak of a gentler time when manners were important, even in the face of such adversity as wars and poverty.
readerlady, am I not worthy of a response because I'm not a regular?
By the way, I'm totally a cat person. LOL
Is this something that can be done in mixed company?
******
That's allowed if you like. But the masseusse must be licensed by the state.
Permanent...the butler was in jail for killing his wife. Yes, he did get out of jail.
I also love the older British comedy "As Time Goes By" with Judy Densch and Geoffrey Palmer. It is on Sat. nights. It's just wonderful.
Moose,
LOL!
It does look kind of odd when you see it on foodie website videos....
Bearswife, there is one lonely rouledan left and you may have it with a glass of chilled Rumspringa, because if there is anything we never run out of here on this blog it's our RUMSPRINGA. Parent and Permanent, Paula and anyone who wants some... there's plenty in the fridge. Dwindle keeps it well stocked. Sheeple you should try it. It will help you through your grieving period. Admin will tell us when the party is over and no one else.

Love Downton Abbey and also Doc Martin. That's a terrific show.
Call the Midwife was a great show, too. It's over though. So sad to see it end.
Paula,
Thanks for the update. But did he really kill her? I vaguely remember something that wasn't cut-and-dried about it. Like I said, I missed a few of the shows and lost the thread of it...
Wed. is a new moon. Could that be as bad as a full moon to some? DWTS is about to start here on the West Coast so the infighting will soon be moot. JMHO, of course.
Auntie, I'm on my way! Can I have my rumspringa in a fancy glass?
I just went out and checked and it's not a full moon so it must be that the sheeple don't have anyone to fight with on twitter so they're making their way over here. It seems like a game of sheep pile on the rabbit tonight.
Permanent I agree with you that the GABA doesn't seem to be as effective after a couple of months. Im hoping now that the nights are cooler it will help me sleep better.
Joy - if you go to dial idol.com tomorrow and click on DWTS it will give you an idea of how the fans voted. I don't know how accurate it is though.
Junebug -- Of course you are worthy of a response. I hadn't read your post when I wrote my last one. I understand your caution and apreciate your concern. Many of the regulars here feel like family. I do exercise reasonable precautions, though. Most of my records are listed in my real name, and it would be very difficult for anyone to trace me, because I very rarely use it. Even my best friend forgets what it is. Heck, even I do, sometimes, LOL. How many cats do you have? What color? Purebred or randombred?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ah gawd, nothing beats a Krispy Kreme donut for pure, unadulterated sugar/fat beyond delicious mouth drolling high!
I haven't had one in years but your post made me immediately salivate. I'm not kidding.
I had one years ago on a business trip - one of my clients in the south asked if I'd ever heard of Krispy Kreme. When I said no, she put me in her car and drove me to one.
Those donuts are seriously, majorly bad (and by bad, I mean GOOD). When they are still warm from the oven, Oh baby......... better than sex, and I'm not kidding!

Downton Abbey - big yes! And Upstairs, Downstairs also although not as much as the original. Loved Call the Midwife, too. Didn't see Doc Martin, will have to look that one up!
Krispy Kreme - make sure you get them when the "HOT" light is on in the store. Best ever!!
DD is designated driver, but I second the Dunkin Donuts- sounds great with a Rumspringa, someone please pass me a double :D
Not watching DWTS, btw, Intervention is really good tonight.
Jane, do check out Doc Martin. It's on PBS Thurs. nights. I can't say enough good things about it. The characters are great.

Thanks, I will :)
Krispy Kreme -- Oooooooh, major flashback. There was a Krispy Kreme right across the street from my high school. It was HORRIBLE being cooped up in that building when they were frying donuts. The aroma drifted across the street and we all were just drooling. It always smelled so much better than anything being cooked -- and I use that word lightly -- in the school cafeteria.
Permanent -- DD = designated driver, I think.
Jane, you'll be coming in in the middle. You might be able to see older shows on PBS to catch you up. Just to give you a hint, the main character is a surgeon who has developed a phobia about blood and takes a position as a GP in a small Cornish village.
Haven't been on in a few days but what the hell is going on? Lots of nasty comments.
Paula and Permanent Name...Love Downton Abbey, Call the Midwife, As Time Goes By etc. I was also a huge Inspector Morse fan so I enjoy the sequel with Inspector Lewis. Hathaway on that show cracks me up. He's so dry.
Bearswife certainly and lead glass crystal Rumspringa glasses, no less. Kate can keep her paper cups.
*SPOILER ALERT*
Actually, it's a sheeple spoiler. Here's the end of the story. Kate's 'tv career' is finished. Sorry to be the one to have to tell you.
DD is designated driver? I thought it was Debbie Downers. lol!
Butterfly, are you watching the one about Megan H?
Holy, her parents are messed up! I can't believe her dad's attitude (and the mom is inexcusable).
Did you all look at that tweeter page from the guy wanting ham loaf? He is pretty disgusting and talks about Adam and Eve toys a lot. Such a fine poster for Kart. (not) And of all the people she ignores, she twitted him back.
Roses. Sorry, won't let me put a name at the top.
Paula, Permanent in Blue, Tweedle dee,
Like you three I am a fan of Downton and of Doc Martin.
Has anyone watched 'The 1940's House' that aired on PBS a few years ago? It's about a family who volunteered to live in a house that was designed exactly as it would have been during the Blitz in WW2 London and live exactly as people lived during that time. It was another great documentary presented only as PBS can. Youtube has it and it's well worth watching.

_____________________________
I didn't see that one but saw a similar one about a family who agreed to live like people did sometime in the 1800s. That was fascinating. I remember how they had to wash in a big tub and lift out the heavy sheets from the hot water with a big long stick, it took two of them to do it. And the wife was miserable because all she had was lye soap for washing her hair. She could never get it really clean or rinsed well.

I wish they'd stay on TV forever. LOL I don't know why American TV can't produce shows like those.
1940s House was amazing!!
Tweet-le - The Edwardian House? I haven't seen that but if it's anything like the 1940's House I'll watch it. It's on Youtube too, I just looked. They are genuine reality programs.
Does this mean Melissa and Tony won?
Melissa & Tony: 60 (30, 30)
Kelly & Val: 59 (29.5, 29.5)

Sorry for using Anonymous but I was unable to enter my name.
LadyBug
Bearswife - yes it was amazing. I may just watch it again.
Auntie -- I watched 1940's House. I loved all those documentaries -- Frontier House, Colonial House, etc. They did one that was about 1910, too,didn't they? It's been so long. I recently borrowed Frontier and Colonial House from the library and re-watched them.
AuntieAnn, readerlady, maybe it was the Edwardian house that I saw. I'd love to see the others. Will have to check out Youtube.

Nobody won. That doesn't happen until tomorrow night. When scores are posted, it shows each contestant's place on the leaderboard for that episode. Those were the judges' scores, not the viewers' votes.
readerlady - Thank you for suggesting the library. I'm going to see if our library has them. I love those type of documentaries. Good programming on tv is scarce. I've taken to watching a lot of PBS and Travel and Escape channel. Food Network, which I used to enjoy, seems to be headed the way of TLC...a whole lotta scripted crapola and nothing but competitive cooking shows. So far removed from the way it started out.
What a world, what a world.
If there's one thing I can't stand it's being pretentious about humor. Humor is humor. The point is you are laughing and having a good time, not how sophisticated those in the ivory tower think it is. The pug I was babysitting this weekend had me in stitches with his little farts all day long. Whatever, I can laugh at that and also laugh at some sophisticated satire in the NY Times too. They're both funny.
Auntie Ann add me to the "what a world" pile when it comes to Food Network. Okay I like a few of the competitions shows but sometimes I want to learn how to make stuff! Remember when it, like, taught you how to cook? I mean no wonder Kate cooks slop there is no one left to teach her and Lord knows she won't be cracking open a real cookbook anytime soon. TV is her only hope, you can't balme her.
The only good cooking shows left are on PBS.

1940's House and Frontier House were AWESOME.
Are there any more "house" series on the horizon? I could watch a Frontier House EVERY YEAR.
Oh there was also I think Ranch House??? Also kick butt. I may try to dig them up on youtube, maybe we can have a viewing.
Sweeet.....Frontier House appears to be all over Youtube.
Texas Ranch House is too!
Texas ranch House?! I haven't seen that one! ooooh
Frontier House was filmed not too far from me. I keep bugging the Bear about going, maybe next summer...
Frontier House had a couple of participants who were very KK like. One was one of the wives and, coincidentally, she was also a nurse ;-) . The other was one of the husbands. I'd love to have a viewing, Admin. I could watch those shows again and again. Our PBS station didn't carry Texas Ranch House. I'll have to look that one up and watch it. BTW -- Frontier House is available for streaming on Netflix, or maybe it's Hulu.
BTW -- another couple of PBS series that are really good -- Ballykissangel and The Casebook of Dr. Finlay. Casebook is based on the writings of A.J. Cronin, who wrote "The Keys of the Kingdom" and "The Citadel".
Yeah I remember the Frontier House Kate-like guy and didn't he butt heads with the Kate-like girl? LOL. I remember how sure he was they would have made it come winter but said he didn't want to spend that much energy choping wood when they weren't really staying--but he WOULD HAVE had they really have stayed (sure!). They all failed the test of shoring up for winter. I would have liked to really see them go through a winter and then there would be no excuses.
The guy was from Malibu. They were rich and privileged and arrogant. I've always kept one eye out for them out here but never ran into them. A small town too. I'm curious how they're doing now. This was filmed 10 years ago in 2001, I remember because 9/11 happened while they were filming.
Thanks, Sleepless in Seattle. I've not watched it to the end before.

I'm game!
Admin, I read somewhere not too long ago that the Clunes split and he has himself a bit of fluff now? Don't know how accurate that is. I think it was in the comments on the PBS website. Someone had seen his pix in the paper or something. I really liked the young couple, Nate and Kristen. It was so sweet when he surprised her with a fancy white wedding gown when she wasn't expecting it. I think that the assessment was that they were the only ones who would be able to make it through the winter. I remember the one wife -- Clune,the rich one -- being absolutely in tears because she couldn't wear mascara. Mascara! That's worth getting worked up over? That's pretty KK like, too, although she wasn't all that KK like in other respects.
readerlady, my old lady cat is one of those ones that is completely gray (almost bluish) except she has a tail. Oh, a Russian Blue!
Got her from a farm. Her mom was an orange long haired tabby. Strange.
I may put the blog on moderation tomorrow night just in the evening, just to keep all the temptations to post spoilers at bay.
It's an extreme measure but it's the only foolproof way to prevent spoilers.
Rumspringa is too funny. Therefore, the objection to is overruled. I have not shirked ny assigned duty to handle objections. So there. Case closed. Lest anyone think this was a hasty judgement, I mulled it over while sitting in the 1980's era heirloom faux ultra suede brown Lazy-Boy recliner spaceship during a brief trip to mars.
Kart's sheeple should pitch in and buy her "cook wise" THE book to understand the science behind cooking. Then a food photography class.
Mediocre me pulled off thanksgiving for 34 family members (I confess I was glad 13 couldn't make it). Only asked for a gun and a single bullet once the whole day.
I blame ambien.
Grrr, why did my name get appropriated. I don't watch DWTS and wouldn't have the scores. I'd rather a rumspringa then a spat anyday. Sounds like some of you had great Holidays. I am just recovering from working all those 12 hour shifts at work. Now to try and get my sleep pattern back on track.
Katie is boring and a bad cook. LOL at her being unable to even keep up that pathetic Menu Monday recipe mess.
Add me to the list of lovers of Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife. Midwife ... I hope will be back. Too much left undone, but maybe that was all the author/miwife wrote. There was a Downton Abbey Revisited review hosted by Angela Lanbsbury on last night. It was fun to see the actors discussing their characters, filming, etc.
Ballykissangel was a series maybe 12-14 years ago and I enjoyed watching it again. Was this is a reprise? I never caught the end to see the production date.
Ladybug, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize that name was taken. I've not posted here before. I've been reading off and on for awhile, but I had not seen that name used. Hopefully my new name doesn't already belong to someone.
Dragonfly
Lynn W. -- Ballykissangel was that long ago? Wow! Our PBS station never carried it. I just discovered the DVD set at our library not long ago and enjoyed it. The Casebook of Dr. Finlay was 10 - 15 years ago, too. Guess I'm really behind the times! Sorry about that. I haven't seen Downton Abbey, but I'm planning to watch it on Netflix, or is it Hulu? I subscribe for both, and it's available for streaming on one or the other.
Oh goodie! You are talking about British TV. Can I chime in?
Downton Abbey: Bates the valet was still in prison at the end of Season 2, convicted of killing his estranged wife. Did he or didn't he? Was it Sir Richard who murdered her, not Mr Bates? Season 3 has already aired in the UK.
Brendan Coyle (Mr Bates) was also in Larkrise to Candleford. Anyone else here watch that? It is a very gentle show.
Return to Cranford was also very good, along similar lines. The great Judi Dench is in that, and also in As Time Goes By, probably my favorite sitcom.
Call the Midwife: It is based on two autobiographical books by Jennifer Worth. I read the first one one Kindle and have requested the second to be "Kindlized" too. I highly recommend the first book. Loved Miranda Hart as Chummy.
I like Doc Martin, and also recommend the Vicar of Dibley with Dawn French -- although the humor in that is very British and may not translate as well to an American audience.
Admin...I like the moderation idea, since some people are unable to control themselves. I was astounded yesterday when you said no comments whatsoever about DWTS, and someone went ahead and posted anyway, multiple times. How rude. And he/she has done it before, multiple times. Shaking head.
Although, if you really don't want to know, stay off the internet, IMO.
Yes, I'm using my normal posting name and owning my comment. Flame away, those who must. :-)

"I may put the blog on moderation tomorrow night just in the evening, just to keep all the temptations to post spoilers at bay.

If I watched this show, which I don't, I think I would just stay off of this or any blog until the show aired in my area. That way if I accidentally came across any spoiling info before hand, it would be my fault, not some blogger's.
Kiwi -- so good to see a post from you!
I don't watch DWTS, but I think requests for silence on spoilers should be respected.
I don't really drink Rumspringa, but I think requests to stop pretending that I drink it are just plain silly!
Sure, I am inconsistent.
A few of you are still over here. There is a new post!
Last night, settled into my bed with my laptop, hoping to catch up on the post. Then, I looked at the pic up Kate's slop. Almost immediately, I felt nauseaous. Made it to the bathroom and lost my supper. Thanks Kate!
Ok, the truth is, I have that flu/stomach virus that has half or night staff home sick. But it was so much fun blaming Kate. Actually made me feel better. Yes, really it did!
Auntie I was wondering what that shrew was lamenting about now with her poor me what a day tweet. I suspect another no means no? Another network passed on her stupid pilot? It will never see the light of day. If she simply went back to nursing she wouldn't have to worry so much about pilots being picked up.
Another thing they didn't consider is how upsetting a prank could be to a newly pregnant, ill mother whose hormones are already out of whack. What if she were so upset she miscarried? I don't think you need to treat pregnant women like china dolls but they are the last group I would consider pulling a prank on.
