Damn, I KNOW I typed a response to this, but it doesn't show up on the pings: I may have been confusing Latin School with Francis Parker, but the girls I knew who went there would've been there A BIG 30 years ago: Lisa Segal, whose mother was a stained glass artist who lived on Wells Street in Old Town, and Polly Pen, a teenage actress who was still in highschool when she performed with me in the original production of GREASE, in 1971, in Chicago, before it was picked up by two Broadway producers (after being rejected by Dick Clark) and brought to NY in '72. Polly later became a composer and recently won an Obie Award for her music.
"If I could send ya stuff through the screen,I would.I have some homemade Bouef Bourguignon in the ice box,and some homemade beef & veggie soup...if you'd rather that"
Somehow, when you post, it always comes back to food, doesn't it? The wifey and I raided the frozen leftovers tonight too. Seafood stew and BBQ pork, YUM! YUM! Now if I could just find the stuff to make that tort!!!
(Haven't opened the door in eight hours, not sure if I can now.
You were in the original "GREASE"?
That was before I moved to Chicago,but one of my dear friends went to high school with the guys who wrote that.
Hmmmmmmmmm Celeste Holmes went to Parker,as did Edward Gorey (both long before the time frame we're talking about),and Jennifer Beals and that girl that John Kennedy Jr.(what is her name? the blonde actress...something Hannah?) once dated.
My daughter's much younger than that...30 years ago,she was a baby.:-)
But I remember the stained glass artist on Wells. That's something,anyway. LOL
Edward Gorey was from Chicago?
Made roast turkey tonight;the Bouef Bourguinon is from the night before. :-)
Now,if only I could decide what to make tomorrow,I'd be okay.
Gorey was born and raised in Chicago.
That would explain his choice of coats...I'm off in search of food. Take care....
I'm trying to channel your cupboard.....let's see, now.
Mix the canned tuna with some mushroom soup (do not dilute) add mushrooms, canned or fresh pre-browned, heat to a simmer, dash of hot sauce and serve over toast. (For even more crunch and depth, drain and add a can of corn.)
From the College Student Living Alone Cookbook, by a former college student who lived alone.
Good luck with the food ...enjoy!
I guess this weather stuff only effects people when it moves out of Minnesota! We got our first real snow Jan. 21
Had about 2" before this. But it only matters when it goes east. I feel left out.
I used up my mushrooms(fresh) in the Bouef Bourguignon,but there is a tiny can of Chinese straw mushrooms in the pantry.I never have mushroom soup (there's chicken noodle,chicken broth,bean and bacon,tomato,green pea,vegetable,Scotch broth,clam chowder,shrimp bisque,lobster bisque,beef broth,beef consume,leek,and some others.LOL),several different "HOT" sauces (would you like the Peri Peri from South Africa?),and I think a couple of cans of tuna.I only have creamed style corn,though,and that doesn't sound as though it would work.
Hmmmmmmmmm...maybe I'll just make clams casino,a green salad and spaghetti.I still have some Italian bread,so I can make garlic bread.
Too bad about the creamed corn. If you had regular niblets you could add it to the clam chowder, again with a dash of spice and either eat it as is, or as a dip with Fritos.
Ye gods and little fishes...next you'll be trying to shove AMERICAN CHOP SUEY at me. :-(
Sorry,don't have a Frito in the house. LOL
$250.00 ticket to drive in the snow. Say you have a Hummer then what?
One of your friends went to high school, in that case, with Jim Jacobs. The other author , Warren Casey, was originally from Yonkers NY, and moved to Chicago in the late 60s. He had been a high school art teacher, but rather than teach in the Chi school system, he chose to work as a clerk at Rose Records in the Loop, and get involved as an actor in the off loop theatre scene. Jim lives in California and is very wealthy from the megasuccess of the entire Grease franchise. Warren, who was gay, died of AIDS sometime in the mid-1980s. I had already moved from CHi at that time.
I was very fond of both of them. BTW, my character, MILLER, was stricken from both the Broadway production and the movie, but it was my character in the original who was Rizzo's boyfriend, not Danny Zuko, and my character who had the hotrod Greased Lightning, about which I sang the song in the show, long before John Travolta sang it in the movie.

I now ask myself how all this information somehow managed to get onto a thread about the blizzard. Curious.
That's fascinating! Many thanks for all the inside info.:-)
What's a cubit?
The measurement from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger;about 18 inches. Why?
