• 443 travel was crusty etc + ext

    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.

    Strikes me that the sensible thing to do would
    be for there to be a hard-and-fast rule of
    Nothing and nobody extraneous on set between
    setup at the beginning of a day's shooting and
    cleanup at the end of the session. One could
    even go so far as to require technicians and
    anybody going on the set to be costumed
    (apparently in another episode one of the
    extras can be seen in blue jeans at the edge
    of the shot).

    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?"

    My TV was a little battery-powered job
    that was the emergency information during
    power outages (but I ended up watching the
    occasional episode of Square One TV).

    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.
    I think that's one more than I've seen. Started to watch one once but
    the language was quite offensive so I turned it off.

    Back when Up in the Air came out, Lilli and I just
    happened to be in one of the 15 cities that was
    chosen for the prerelease sneak preview, so she
    talked me into seeing it. It was amusing, but
    I'd rather have been in a real airplane.

    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.
    Did he relish the thought?

    Mustard done so.

    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.
    No real recipe to it; it's one of my "clean out the fridge before it
    goes bad" meals.

    I do that a lot, mostly with other people's
    fridges. My rule is that I'm not required
    to touch summer squashes.

    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.
    No answer of mine would be worth taking the tine to type. (G)

    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.

    Getting better all the time, better, better, better ...

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

    Wo, there, we knew that ... we're talking about
    the rest of the world now.

    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.
    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.

    My mother, in one of her attempts to make us
    Americans, fixed sweet sweet potatoes, which
    tied my taste buds in knots. It was quite a
    while before I could look a sweet potato or
    yam in the face.

    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.

    Nothing to be ashamed about, but one does not long
    for the days of tinily limited spice shelves.

    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.

    The stuff retains its heat long after it's
    gone rancid, I found.

    Title: Egg Rolls #1
    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.

    Not that much trouble to make for those of
    us who have a modicum of hand strength.

    Hi Michael,

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

    Strikes me that the sensible thing to do would

    Nothing and nobody extraneous on set between
    setup at the beginning of a day's shooting and
    cleanup at the end of the session. One could

    It might stick for a time, then people would gradually slide back into
    old habits.

    even go so far as to require technicians and
    anybody going on the set to be costumed
    (apparently in another episode one of the
    extras can be seen in blue jeans at the edge
    of the shot).

    Extras should be appropriately costumed, a bit much to have the crew
    also. Adds to the expense of a show that has a lot of elaborate
    costuming, plus makes it harder for them to do some jobs.

    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

    Getting better all the time, better, better, better ...

    Rancid heat? Doesn't sound appealing to me.
