I can't think of any "fake Swedish" foods, other than some miserable meatballs at Swedish gatherings here in the states. They taste like meatloaf mix shaped into little meatballs 😖. My mom's and grandmother's meatballs were supposed to be more Norwegian-ish they said (my Mormor grew up near the Norwegian border), using ground ginger, allspice, nutmeg & white pepper in the meat mixture. Zippy, w/o being "hot". Of course, there aren't any Swedish restaurants here so not much opportunity to do any damage to authentic Svenska dishes😁

Ettore Boiardi was his real name. I remember eating that stuff as a kid.

I was in Raleigh then, too! I lived not too far from NCSU in a part of town that was spared the worst of the storm. Still terrifying, though.
I was out by Rt 70, the first area hit. Sheraton let some of us stay there for free. That was a scary night.

All of you folks in areas where watches/warnings are in effect, I hope you'll be spared any dangerous weather. I'm sure I've already posted my experience with a very unexpected tornado in Raleigh in 1988. It hit at midnight, after I'd watched the 11 PM news during which nothing was mentioned about bad weather. I was very fortunate that my bldg didn't collapse. For several years, I'd panic whenever I heard the wind. My solution for staying as calm as possible during storms was/is to be dressed, complete with sneakers, and load my purse with eyeglasses, any meds I needed, and nowadays, my phone & charger.

Central Ave in Hartsdale, NY. I used to live in an apt complex there, back when I worked for Union Carbide. Re: Olive Garden? I always defend it (when Italian friends criticize it) because of two items: zuppa toscana, and eggplant parmigiana (the coating of the eggplant is *crisp*, not bready). I need to go back and see if this is still true (haven't been in a while). We usually go to independent restaurants (stand-alone? non-chain?).

JAMES IS BACK!!
I can't lie, it made me feel good to say "Sacagawea" earlier and more confidently than James.
I just can't figure out what's going on with James (& it's really bugging me 🧐). He better be back to battery (now that's an old expression I haven't heard in decades!) from now on. I'm counting on him 🤞🍀🙏😸

Nice to see James doing better. I liked his story about a humbling experience at the Seattle baseball game. He's so funny!

I didn't want grandchildren, but now that I have them I adore them. However, my body is growing weaker (will see a neurologist in about a weak) so I wish I was younger when they were born.
Good luck at your appointment 🤞🍀.

Somebody told me I always look angry.
It's not the 1st time I've heard that in my lifetime but I thought that was kind of an inappropriate comment.
People used to ask me,"What's wrong?"
My mother said that she always tried to keep a little smile on her face (I couldn't be bothered with that!)
I eventually had a little plastic surgery (*not* the Hollywood kind), and it must have gotten rid of whatever made me always look pissed off.

I'd love to find shortie pj's that don't have "bootie shorts"! I found a couple on Amazon, but wish Macy's or Nordstrom carried nice, regular length pj shorts with tops. Does any store cater to women over 50?? Inquiring minds want to know 😎

Did anyone ever hear about not feeling well when there is a full Moon? My Sister believes in astrology and said it’s true. Something about the tide when it draws into the Ocean.
My stepdaughter, a psychologist, once said that she & her associates always knew when there was a full moon because of the behavior of their patients. No idea if it affected all of the patients.

Did you ever see Julie and Julia starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams? Ms. Streep's portrayal of Child was mesmerizing.
I **loved** that movie! Meryl Streep can disappear into any role she plays (e.g, Julia Child, and Nora Ephron in Heartburn). Stanley Tucci plays Paul. In his wonderful memoir, he writes about the "Julia" cast going out for dinner at a small restaurant in the French countryside. I was amazed to read that he had the exact same experience with an order of andouille that I had in Nice 🙀.

I'd rather see neither one of these two creatures.

I made Penne with Pumpkin Sauce & Sage. The sage was fried and then sprinkled over the dish.

This is what’s missing from this season of Masters-the friendly trash talk.
You nailed it. I don't know if it's all due to a once-in-a-lifetime friendly/fun/good-natured/well-rounded contestants spoiling us forever...or a certain killer personality making his entrance at this second Masters and casting an unpleasant spell. I sure miss the fun of the first Masters.

Unfortunately not, that would be hard to match. But they were delightful as always.
Are there any shows today with excellent writing, like Cheers, LA Law, Taxi, MTM, Hill Street Blues, etc? I just gave up (after trying to watch West Wing, with its OTT rapid dialogue).

Did you see her and DHP on Max's "Julia"? I loved them there too. Unfortunately it was canceled after 2 seasons last year but the first two are still available if you get that.
No. Was the writing as good as Cheers?

Bebe Neuwirth's delivery of her lines was always hilarious, especially in Cheers when she and Frasier would haughtily go after each other.

Yes, it came across like those kids who study to win the National Spelling Bee.
It used to be fun watching the Bee, but nowadays those kids have tutors. It's like they're "on a mission from God".

I used to be pretty good at crosswords (NY Times and Washington Post) but a few years ago it seems all of them changed. I don't watch any of today's TV (entertainment)shows and rarely go to the movies, so I'm sort of out of it.
