NOT THAT DIFFICULT A MYSTERY

I KNOW YOU KNOW WHO LADY TO THE LEFT IS.

MY QUESTION IS, DO YOU KNOW WHO'S 

STANDING TO HER RIGHT?

A NEW TUMBLR

EBONY MAGAZINE'S GOT A NEW TUMBLR USING 

70s COVERS AND ADS. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW 

PAGES UP SO FAR, BUT IT COULD BE FUN.

ONE CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH ROSS.

ROE V. WADE HAD YET TO BECOME 

LAW WHEN THIS DRESS WAS CONCEIVED, 

HENCE IT'S EXISTENCE. 

WHY, IT'S A FUCKING MIRACLE!

JESSICA GUTIERREZ REMOVED MY GALL BLADDER, BUT WHEN SHE DID HER OBLIGATORY INITIALING ON MY STOMACH, A MIRACLE OCCURRED.

I WAS SAVED.

HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY, INDEED

AND HERE'S HER MOTHER, FROM AN EARLIER MD POST.

THE NEW YEAR, MOM AND THE BOYS

CHRISTMAS EVE, 1959

WE ALWAYS GOT GOT GIFTS XMAS MORNING, BUT THIS WAS A MEMORABLE YEAR. THAT IS MY VERY FIRST BICYCLE. AND YES, IT'S A GIRL'S AND SHUT UP. WHO KNEW THAT WE REALLY WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO GET GIFTS? IT WASN'T UNTIL I WAS AN ADULT THAT I LEARNED THE REASON WHY WE GOT OUR GIFTS XMAS MORNING. SEEMS MOM GOT PREGNANT WAY BACK WHEN AND THE FOLKS HAD TO GET MARRIED. THEY WED DECEMBER 24th, BUT THEIR ANNIVERSARY WAS ALWAYS CELEBRATED SEPTEMBER 24th.  SO, IT WAS A CELEBRATION, THEIR SECRET CELEBRATION, BUT ALL WE KNEW WAS IT'S CHRISTMAS. WELL, OUR KIND OF XMAS, THE KIND WITH MENORAHS SCATTERED ABOUT AND STOCKINGS THAT WERE PALE BLUE & WHITE WITH WHITE JEWISH STARS.

OH, THAT PARKING GARAGE? IT HAD A SHORT LIFE. WE ALL DID SOMETHING TO UPSET MUM AND SHE THREW IT DOWN THE CELLAR STAIRS. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO SAY IT THAN WITH....

PUPPIES!

TO OUR JEWISH FRIEND AT CHANUKAH

MORON HERE

NOW I'VE GONE AND DONE IT.

I'VE DELETED MY YOUTUBE ACCOUNT AND FROM 

WHAT I CAN SEE, IT'S UNRETRIEVABLE. THIS IS ALL GOOGLE'S FAULT. I DIDN'T WANT TO LINK EVERY FRIGGING THING TO EVERY OTHER FRIGGING THING AND I TRIED TO OUTSMART THEM. 

HA. 

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I just received my November 28, 2011 edition of The New Yorker this afternoon. Today is December 6. This isn't a new thing, but this seems exceptionally late to me. I always thought I should get my magazine before the date on the cover. So, who do I complain to? If I march into my post office and let 'er rip, I'll really be my postman's favorite, right? I just and I mean just renewed by subscription to The New Yorker. 

Today in national news, the post office announced major cuts. 

Did I just piss $39.00 dollars away?

ANN SHERIDAN

Though all your guesses were delightful, 

no one came up with our mystery guest. 

Sultry Ann Sheridan, "Oomph Girl" of the 1940s 
never achieved the stardom she deserved. Though featured 
in over 80 films, she never broke through and gained 
big-time success. By the 1950s, her film career had slowed 
and the '60s found her with a part on the daily soap, 
"Another World." In 1966, she starred in the western 
themed comedy, "Pistols 'n' Petticoats". 
By 1967, she was dead at 51 from cancer. 

I was surprised when I came upon this snapshot; 
I'd never seen a photo of her looking so lousy.

Here's the intro to an episode of "Pistol's 'n' Petticoats" which featured sweet Ruth McDevitt, who was in EVERYTHING.

     

AS SEEN ON eBay

Just came across this auction...

Isn't he/she/it a brilliant merchandiser?

GUESS WHO?

New York City, 1939

A gent bought a bunch of mystery 8MM film at a junk shop 

and this silent footage from the Thanksgiving Day Parade, 

1939 was one of them. Darn cool I say.

From the test kitchens of Norma Desmond

With Thanksgiving Day looming, I thought I'd share a Desmond family tradition. This isn't a Thanksgiving Day dish, per se, but one that I snatched and made my own. The originator of this wonderful dish is Jane Brody, it having come from her, High Carbohydrate Cookbook. Isn't that title a hoot? Obviously she wrote this back before we all became diabetic.

CORN PUDDING

2 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons flour

1 1/4 cups skim or low fat milk

1 cup grated cheese, about 4 ounces. (sharp cheddar for example)

3 cups frozen corn kernels

1 cup soft fresh bread crumbs(2 slices)

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp dry mustard

1/2 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp pepper

2 egg whites & 3 whole eggs, beaten

1.) In a 3 quart sauce pan, melt the butter & stir in the flour. Cook the roux for a minute or so & gradually add the milk, stirring the sauce constantly over low heat until it is slightly thickened.

2.) Remove the pan from the heat & stir in the rest of the ingredients. Mix well & pour into greased 2 quart casserole.

3.) Set the casserole in a pan of hot water & bake the pudding in a preheated oven of 325 for 1 1/4 hours or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

By the way, this is really, really good.
