Good evening, Tulip.

Nice to see you this evening. Sorry I missed everyone last night.

[Senator Pardek]

I'm getting in shape as we speak!

Snoring works one's abs.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Snoring? Oh, yikes!

[Victoria Delsoul]

How about a song by the dinck – as in Engelbert Humperdinck.

You'll never know...

[JustAmy]

LOL

BARBECUE BEEF

Mix all ingredients and pour over meat. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 3 hours, adjusting for ovens, or until fork tender.

Watch the Food Channel. Emilio cooks up a storm of good stuff. He has a jazz band behind him and a "panel" of help. The camera turns to him and a little boy talking like gangsters on a covered table with a candle. Funny. Catch the replay.

Emilio's alter-ego is a cute Italian woman doing the opposite of him.

Hi Amy. It's good to see you too.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, BobS

I watch Emilio on the Food channel once in awhile. I've never cooked anything that he gave a recipe for but he is fun to watch.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Sounds funny, alright. I've watched Emeril, and he's also funny. I like his show a lot.

[Victoria Delsoul]

You sure his name isn't Emeril?

[BobS]

It's an experience. But does any one remember what to do besides throw everything together? He has steps that I can't remember. So I have pots, ingredients, defrosting meat just sitting there?

TV creates a short attention span.

[JustAmy]

Oh .... I like Engelbert.

[Victoria Delsoul]

I don't watch TV as I used to, not that I watched a lot, but besides a few good movies and the news, TV is pretty much over for me.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Wow, I love that song, Amy. Thanks.

[BobS]

Yes, it's Emeril. Let's create a salad. Start with little tomatoes. Throw in some fresh lettuce. Olive oil. Parsley. Red onions. Sliced Parmesan. Wine. Chives. Beans. Toss it in the air for the oxidation and serve.

Accurate?

[Victoria Delsoul]

Yeah, sure - that's him, the guy's hilarious.

I found a song by Jimmy Durante... one sec.

[BobS]

Amy, you should have watched Emeril tonight! On stage with a backup jazz trumpet section. It beat the Sci-Fi channel for me which is a back-up when news becomes ridiculous:)

[Victoria Delsoul]

Young at heart.

[BobS]

Watch out for the very cute Italian chef that follows him, though. She has other ideas about food:) All I need to do is write down both of their ingredients and I will be ahead if I could just boil water:)

[Victoria Delsoul]

Speaking of Italian food, here is tango Italiano for you... with lyrics and all.

Un Tango Italiano, un dolce Tango
Ho sentito una notte suonar
Sotto un cielo lontano ...
Quel Tango Italiano, this is the Tango
That was born when our love had its start
On the night that I found you ...
In quel momento sull'ali del vento avrei voluto andar E dal mio amore il mio cuore sconteto voleva ritornar ...
Un Tango Italiano, un dolce Tango Ha portato un ricchiamo d'Amor Al mio stanco e nostalgico cuor E mi hai fatto per sempre tornar Dal mio amore Italiano ...
You were so warm and so near
And my heart climbed a stairway to the stars ...
Un Tango Italiano, un dolce Tango
Ha portato un ricchiamo d'Amor
Al mio stanco e nostalgico cuor
E mi hai fatto per sempre tornar
Dal mio amore Italiano ...
