• 631 arts was nuts

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to RUTH HAFFLY on Monday, April 23, 2018 03:20:10
    The words were clever, and some say the
    music was cleverer still. Being an aficionado
    of both words and music, but more the latter,
    I enjoyed the Savoy operas very much and in
    fact went on some tours with a G&S company.
    I enjoyed them, but not on a deep analyical level.

    They were probably meant to be enjoyed on
    several levels. The more pungent political
    and social satire is lost on most of us
    today, though it was clear to many 19th
    century theatergoers.

    Any chance of a revival?
    Hard to say - I was not in direct contact with
    the site owner, and it's gone, gone, gone.
    As are so many things that we once thought would be around longer than
    us.

    The Internet is a constantly changing
    thing. I was hoping to find the F&S tribute
    on an archive site, but no success so far.

    Soon as the show ends! Wheel of Fortune is doing open try outs today
    in
    Taxman in the wings, same as at the pari-mutuel?
    As I understand, yes.

    The cold water of reality, but it's better
    that way, so people don't put themselves
    over a barrel by overspending.

    Raleigh, tomorrow in Durham. I've no interest in being part of a mob where the chances of my application being pulled for a try out are
    about > nil.
    How many aspirants come to these things?
    If you don't like large mobs of people, it's not the place to be. They
    had something like 3 "games", picking 5 people per game so your chances
    of being called up for a game were pretty slim. But, for some people,
    they think they'll get called up, go on the show and get rich/discovered
    for show biz or whatever.

    Or win the lottery! I've always wanted to
    win the lottery, not so much as to buy a
    ticket, though.

    longer get vital parts. Sold me the replacement, didn't know at the
    time > that line had problems. I'm on my 3rd Pfaff now; it'll probably be the > last one I'll need to buy.
    I know people who are brand loyal to Singer,
    Pfaff, Viking. Annie used to lecture on behalf
    of Pfaff and Viking, back when she was young
    I started with Singer, switched to Pfaff when we moved to Germany. The
    older machines (built in Germany) were much better, now there's a lot of electronics in them, as with other brands. The new machines are lighter
    but a lot more bells and whistles that can go wrong.

    I'd not be surprised if they all had the
    same logic boards.

    and famous. I understand that all these brands
    and more are made by the same company.
    I know there's some overlap but don't know how much. I don't think it's
    just one company but not as many as there were at one time.

    It's all part of Husqvarna now. That's a
    name I think of in the context of power
    tools and farm equipment.

    and where accommodations are affordable.
    I know, you saw my (G). It would be nice but............
    But that opened up the possibility that we
    could go to a convenient neutral location, such
    as Memphis.
    That would be probably a 2 days drive for us but it would be fun. I've
    read reports of some of your bbq "pig outs" there.

    It might encourage others, though.

    How do you decide how many ellipsis dots?
    However many my finger hits. (G) Standard is 3 but....

    It looks ... as though ... your keyboard is
    set ... differently than mine. I have to
    press my keys half a second before any
    repeats happen.

    As far as I can tell, the most important thing is
    the cutter to mix the fat into the dry ingredients.
    Probably so, most recipes recommend pea sized granules. Recipies usually suggest solid fats but I've seen others that call for oil. I've used
    both.

    I like the texture imparted by solid fat.

    It appears to be a tribute dish, taking the
    ingredients listed in the verses and combining them
    into a condiment that has over the centuries become
    traditional (I guess that would include the wine as
    well, so ignore the previous thought).
    I've seen cake recipies that are written as "3 tsp of (appropriate
    Scripture reference)" ----some include the ingredient; others make you
    look it up.

    I don't measure for such dishes (such as
    see below), but then my cooking experience
    spans 6 decades.

    Vampire dip
    categories: starter, dip, dairy, tribute
    servings: 20

    1 C Mayonnaise (A Little Deviation Here)
    8 Oz Softened Cream Cheese
    2 C Parmesan Cheese
    1 C Gruyere Cheese (Another Deviation)
    1 C Whole Milk Mozzarella Cheese
    4 ts Crushed Garlic (More If You Want)
    1 Cn Drained & Chopped Artichoke Hearts (In Water-Not Marinated)
    1 ts Pepper
    1/2 ts Salt

    Preheat oven to 350F.

    In a large bowl beat the mayo, cream cheese, garlic,
    salt and pepper. Fold in rest of ingredients.

    Put into a lightly buttered 8x8" baking dish, cover
    and bake 20 min, uncover and bake 10 additional min.

    One of the things I do not like is broken/curdled
    cheese so this is what I do. I microwave the dip on
    defrost until it is warm and then pop it is the
    oven and oh my, what oozy gooey goodness.

    Hi Michael,

    today, though it was clear to many 19th
    century theatergoers.

    More British theater go-ers than American. We've had our share of
    political satirests over the years but probably none to equal G&S.


    Any chance of a revival?
    Hard to say - I was not in direct contact with
    the site owner, and it's gone, gone, gone.

    thing. I was hoping to find the F&S tribute

    May be worth pursuing if you've got the time, or just accept that it's
    gone for good.

    All too easy to do. Jeoparday makes you pay your own expenses for a
    first flight out (They tape 5 shows each on 2 consecutive week days.)
    but if you're a longer term champion, they pay. Food and lodging
    expenses can add up fast in CA.

    Or win the lottery! I've always wanted to

    I've yet to buy a ticket. OTOH, I have family members who bought
    (probably still buy) tickets, even when their income was next to
    nothing.

    Or similar.

    It's all part of Husqvarna now. That's a
    name I think of in the context of power
    tools and farm equipment.

    Viking is the main one associated with Husqvarna, don't know if other
    machines are or not. Singer and Brother are co-branded; their machines
    share a lot of the same technology and even set ups.

    and where accommodations are affordable.
    I know, you saw my (G). It would be nice but............

    Possibly, especially if we can arrainge some tours of bbq places, as
    well as eating at them.

    However many my finger hits. (G) Standard is 3 but....

    It looks ... as though ... your keyboard is

    MIne may be more touch sensitive.

    It does work better.

    I'll "measure by eye" for a lot of things too. I started cooking around
    age 7, but didn't do a lot until about age 13.
