    Have > to remember, for authenticity, nothing that doesn't fit the
    time frame.
    Strikes me that a lot of people had to fail to notice
    that one - props crew, scene director, camera person,
    editors, and not least the actors on the set. Or was
    Yes, but one person should have been responsible for the final
    "look/see", ensuring all was right with the set.

    I would think that was the director's job. I still
    think sabotage, or else an outtake somehow was
    substituted for the authorized take. In any case,
    surely many heads rolled for that one.

    there postproduction sabotage?
    Couldn't prove it by me; that's one (of many) shows we don't watch.

    Whether one watches or not is not of great importance.
    Myself, I don't watch any shows.

    IOW, I should wear all wire, not a mix of plastic and wire, frame glasses if I were to be an extra in anything set before the 1920s or
    so.
    A lot more than that - big lenses are a fairly
    recent thing, for example.
    True, but I don't wear big lenses. Mine are on the smaller side of
    medium.

    I'll pass--we don't have cable or anything like Netflix and it
    probably > wasn't on over the airwaves channels.
    I've no idea. As I said ... .
    Not worth checking out unless you're a big George Clooney fan, in all probabliity.

    To my knowledge I've seen exactly one of his films.

    Or an oil rig worker. Another joke.
    Not funny.
    Tough crowd. I'll be here all week.
    I should be also, with time out for this and that. Got a good deal
    on
    That was a joke too.
    On a roll there? Just don't slip on the butter.

    Said the one hot dog to the other hot dog.

    bok choy at the farmer's market (bought one bunch, given 2 more) the other day so spent some time earlier today getting some veggies
    ready > for a stir fry for supper. Also putting in some carrots,
    onion, zuchinni > and yellow squash--got the latter 2 at the market also. A bit of beef, > maybe about 1/2 pound and seasoning.............over rice, supper.
    Oh, my, this time you took away my appetite!
    Sorry, but we thught it was good. (G)

    That recipe should be quashed if not squashed.

    Warm weather crops mostly, We may end up getting those
    to Yellowknife eventually "Light up your life with Uranium Mine Coffee."
    I'll take a pass on that one.
    That would be a bright idea.
    Ore not so bright, if it's a poor grade uranium.
    How could I counter that?
    Don't expect you to, in half my life time.

    That might ray-se a question or two.

    Had another check today, doing well enough that he said "4-6
    weeks" > ML> for > the next one. Booked it for 4 weeks because of
    other plans. > ML> That they're willingly giving you wiggle room
    is also a good sign.
    Yes, it means that the hole is almost filled in--finally!
    Yeah! or, as people spell it nowadays, yay.
    I've been told tho, that it takes a good year or so for a knee to get to whatever "normal" is. I'm only 3 months into the process, but doing well
    over all, despite the set backs. I can now go down stairs almost
    normally.

    We don't want any of our friends to have a painful
    time of it.

    I don't know if she tried much of anything "adventurous" when they
    were > first married. (There was the story about her using curry
    powder in
    I first read "first marriage" and went whoa!,
    nowadays often spelled woah!
    No, it was only one marriage, lasted 64 years and 5 months.

    That's why I said woah!, more properly spelled whoa!

    something while she was pregnant with my brother, Dad saying that it
    was > his turn for morning sickness.) She used to make chili sauce
    with home
    That is quite a funny story.
    We never did hear anything more about it but Mom's assortment of herbs
    and spices was rather minimal.

    The proof of the story was in the eating.

    Doing as much violence to the concept of chili would be
    to add too many home-grown tomatoes, which are likely to
    have been way too sweet.
    She would put a home canned quart of tomatoes into her "chili", a bit of chili powder but the chili had no heat what so ever. She always served
    it over white bread (like her beef stew) to make it stretch far enough
    to feed a family of 7.

    Sloppy Jose, I think some call it.

    I have cooked in many kitchens where the Tabasco bottle
    was the only spicy heat presence and have seen several
    bottles whose contents have turned various shades of
    brown or gray and in at least one case almost clear.
    I've seen it go brown but not gray or almost clear. The latter must have
    been a really old bottle or improperly store. IIRc, Mom kept hers on a
    pantry shelf.

    Probably both.

    Remind me, in September, to tell you the potato chip story.
    Not sure I'll remember, but Nancy probably will.
    OK, it doesn't involve us; we just heard it from the ones responsible
    for it.

    Hi Michael,

    Strikes me that a lot of people had to fail to notice
    that one - props crew, scene director, camera person,
    editors, and not least the actors on the set. Or was
    Yes, but one person should have been responsible for the final "look/see", ensuring all was right with the set.

    I would think that was the director's job. I still

    Not sure who has the job of the final look over but whoever did, fell
    down on the job.

    think sabotage, or else an outtake somehow was
    substituted for the authorized take. In any case,
    surely many heads rolled for that one.

    Or just an inadvertant goof up, but yes, heads will roll.

    there postproduction sabotage?
    Couldn't prove it by me; that's one (of many) shows we don't watch.

    Whether one watches or not is not of great importance.
    Myself, I don't watch any shows.

    Our tv is mostly on for news and "Jeopardy". When the new season of
    "America's Got Talent" starts, we'll probably watch it also. Seen some
    really good talent there, also some that makes you go "Huh?, how did
    they think they had a million dollar act with That?"

    IOW, I should wear all wire, not a mix of plastic and wire,

    the language was quite offensive so I turned it off.

    We don't want any of our friends to have a painful
    time of it.

    Have to expect some pain from it, especially in the therapy sessions but nothing that ice, rest and maybe some light weight meds will handle.
    I've been off the heavy pain meds since the end of February or so.


    I don't know if she tried much of anything "adventurous" when
    they > ML> were > first married. (There was the story about her using curry > ML> powder in

    No, it was only one marriage, lasted 64 years and 5 months.

    That's why I said woah!, more properly spelled whoa!

    I'd never spell it any way but the latter.

    something while she was pregnant with my brother, Dad saying
    that it > ML> was > his turn for morning sickness.) She used to make chili sauce > ML> with home
    That is quite a funny story.
    We never did hear anything more about it but Mom's assortment of

    The proof of the story was in the eating.

    We had no choice but to eat it when I was at home. Had to be a
    reasonable sized serving too, none of this "two bites worth" also. But,
    at least Mom never fixed sweet potatoes when I was growing up; the one
    time a year (Thanksgiving) when my grandmother did them was more than
    enough for us.


    Doing as much violence to the concept of chili would be
    to add too many home-grown tomatoes, which are likely to
    have been way too sweet.
    She would put a home canned quart of tomatoes into her "chili", a
    bit of > chili powder but the chili had no heat what so ever. She
    always served > it over white bread (like her beef stew) to make it stretch far enough > to feed a family of 7.

    Sloppy Jose, I think some call it.

    This had beans and onion besides the meat (ground beef) and tomato,
    nothing worth writing home about. Don't know where she got the recipe
    but after getting married, Steve and I immediately tweaked it to our
    tastes.


    I have cooked in many kitchens where the Tabasco bottle
    was the only spicy heat presence and have seen several
    bottles whose contents have turned various shades of
    brown or gray and in at least one case almost clear.
    I've seen it go brown but not gray or almost clear. The latter must
    have > been a really old bottle or improperly store. IIRc, Mom kept
    hers on a > pantry shelf.

    Probably both.

    I keep mine (if I have it, don't always have some on hand) in the
    fridge. Always have, always will.

    Not sure I'll remember, but Nancy probably will.

    Those are good--a lot of work to make, but well worth the taste. Best
    made (but not cooked) in quantity. Freeze the uncooked ones to cook
    fresh, as needed.
