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.
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.
Of Thee I Sing (Gershwin brothers) is the closest
I can think of in our native repertoire, and it's
pretty ham-handed by comparison. It may be that
British theatregoers were/are more sophisticated
than ours, but I may not be giving us enough credit.
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.
May be worth pursuing if you've got the time, or just accept that it's
gone for good.
Eh, as with the lines of investigation I suggest
for other people it's pretty much "when I think
of it, if I have the time and resources."
The cold water of reality, but it's better
that way, so people don't put themselves
over a barrel by overspending.
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.
That sounds like a lotto lotteries.
Or win the lottery! I've always wanted to
win the lottery, not so much as to buy a
ticket, though.
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.
I've bought a few - mostly I get them at
Christmastime for people who are addicts,
and maybe I'll pick up one or two for me;
I've never got more than a buck or two
bacn nor come close to breaking even, and
the ones I give away are generally duds,
too. I once got some coupons for free plays,
and I won $500, and I felt so guilty I gave
it all to charity, Oxfam, I seem to recall.
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.
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.
Looked it up. The Wikitruth indicates that
the original Husqvarna company spun off the
sewing machine business:
SVP Worldwide is a private company that
designs, manufactures, and distributes
consumer sewing machines and accessories
around the world under 3 brands: Singer,
Husqvarna Viking, and Pfaff.
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.
Possibly, especially if we can arrainge some tours of bbq places, as
well as eating at them.
When we get a bigger response we can
figure things out. One complication is
that my brother has agreed to start to
investigate selling the house. Also, the
best time for those who have responded
seems to be the second half of August
into the first half of September, kind of
hot down in the Southland.
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.
MIne may be more touch sensitive.
Might be - this thing's keyboard is
pretty uneven (that's what I say to
myself when I make lots of typos).
I don't measure for such dishes (such as
see below), but then my cooking experience
spans 6 decades.
Vampire dip
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.
Likewise - my single-digit cooking was
pretty rudimentary. This was one of my
first cooking/baking ventures.
Nut Balls
categories: cookies, childhood
yield: about 6 dozen
1 c butter, softened
2 oz sugar
1 Tv vanilla
2 c pecan meats (substitute other nuts)
2 c cake flour, sifted
confectioners' sugar for rolling
Beat butter and sugar until light. Beat in vanilla.
Grind pecan meats or chop them fine and add them
in along with the flour. Chill for a bit until the
dough is manageable, and then with floured hands
roll into appx. 1" balls. Arrange on a greased
cookie sheet and bake at 300F for 40 - 45 min or
until they are somewhat colored (not brown).
After you remove them, roll them while they are
still quite warm in a bowl of confectioners' sugar.
Let them cool and then roll them again in the
confectioners' sugar.
(I believe this recipe was in Children's Digest
between 1958 and 1960, and I've been making them
ever since)
