We had a low around 65 F, the high will be around 85 F, and the humidity should bottom out under 50%. It has overall been a hot July here, too. Luckily, storm systems have kept the hottest weather at bay, but we've had long stretches at 90 F. Cindy Hamilton |

You know it's bad when you wake up and the exterior windows are soaking wet but it hasn't been raining. You know the humidity/dew point is bad when you step outside and it's like someone wrapped a hot wet towel over your face. Today is not so bad but it's still too hot to be comfortable outside. Jill |

Alternatively, we'll roll down our car windows and stick our heads out to see if a hurricane is a-blowing. Of course, we'll stop the car first. I mean, we ain't dumb. === <g> |
| lenona321@yahoo.com: Jul 28 05:43AM -0700 Maybe what I should have said was, the cookbook doesn't seem to make ANY real effort to reflect the novel, per se. 60 reader reviews of the 1961 cookbook - yes, I know it says 1991: https://www.amazon.com/Gone-Wind-Cook-Book-Southern/dp/1558593705 But, from the novel, in chapter 48 (the honeymoon chapter): "Best of all things in New Orleans was the food. Remembering the bitter hungry days at Tara and her more recent penury, Scarlett felt that she could never eat enough of these rich dishes. Gumboes and shrimp Creole, doves in wine and oysters in crumbly patties full of creamy sauce, mushrooms and sweetbreads and turkey livers, fish baked cunningly in oiled paper and limes. Her appetite never dulled, for whenever she remembered the everlasting goobers and dried peas and sweet potatoes at Tara, she felt an urge to gorge herself anew of Creole dishes." From 2010, some recipes for those dishes: http://gwtwscrapbook.blogspot.com/2010/08/gorging-on-creole-dishes-honeymoon.html#.XyAaYuv3aK0 More recipes: http://gwtwscrapbook.blogspot.com/search?q=Recipes#.XyAcAOv3aK0 Lenona. |

Awww, I'm sorry to hear about Olivia. They really downplayed her looks in GWTW. She was a pretty woman and a very accomplished actress. I think one of the strangest films I ever saw her in was 'Lady in a Cage' (1964). She played a wealthy woman with a broken hip who gets stuck in an elevator (the "cage") she had installed. There's a power failure and three "hoodlums" show up to rob her after she sets off the alarm and terrorize her. What a very odd movie! Also in 1964, she portrayed a charming, not really very nice relative opposite Bette Davis in 'Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte'. Jill |

GWTW mainly takes place in Georgia. It was an OB: food reference. Scarlett went on her honeymoon in New Orleans. Of course, Scarlett wasn't portrayed by Olivia de Havilland. > mourning doves in my yard, but they're basically garbage cans > on wings. I suppose cornish game hens could be substituted. > Cindy Hamilton Well... when I lived in west TN I worked with some guys who would get all worked up about going dove hunting. I don't know specifically what kind of doves but dove hunting was definitely a thing. Seems to me there'd hardly be enough meat on doves to make it worthwhile. Just another excuse for guys to run around in the woods with guns. <shrug> Jill |
| lenona321@yahoo.com: Jul 28 06:06AM -0700 Not as much as they downplayed her looks in "The Heiress." *I* thought she was quite pretty in GWTW. In fact, one could argue that both she and Vivien Leigh were TOO attractive. As the novel begins: "Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it..." (But then, almost whenever Leigh wasn't smiling in the movie, she looked practically hostile, so I suppose that was enough to make her not beautiful.) And, later on, about Melanie: "She was a tiny, frailly built girl, who gave the appearance of a child masquerading in her mother's enormous hoop skirts--an illusion that was heightened by shy, almost frightened look in her too large brown eyes. She had a cloud of curly black hair which was so sternly repressed beneath its net that no vagrant tendrils escaped, and this dark mass with its long widow's peak, accentuated the heart shape of her face. Too wide across the cheek bones, too pointed at the chin, it was a sweet, timid face but a plain face, and she had no feminine tricks of allure to make observers forget its plainness. She looked--and was--as simple as earth, as good as bread, as transparent as spring water. But for all her plainness of feature and smallness small of stature, there was a dedate dignity about her movements that was oddly touching and far older than her seventeen years." Lenona. |

| lenona321@yahoo.com: Jul 28 07:14AM -0700 The cookbook doesn't reflect the movie either, IIRC. |

No more "tenants" and going by regulations. He can just let his "friends" live there and help out with costs. Same situation without all these legal restrictions and nonsense from the city. Are you listening, John? |

He's already said he has to finish repainting the pink and purple paint (he can't decide if it's "Shit Brown" or "Nice Brown") before he can get his "occupancy permit" renewed. In the middle of a global pandemic I can't think who would want to live in a boarding house. Jill |

He *did* inherit money. Have you forgotten how often he used to crow about how RICH he is? As for it being "NONE of YOUR BUSINESS!" he's made it everyone's business by talking about his "housemates"... just not lately because he can't rent rooms right now. At least he did try to do everything right (legally) when it comes to occupancy permits. Jill |

I am not telling anyone what they should drive but I get tired of Kuthe conveniently forgetting that his electric car has some big downsides as well. I drive a little Mazda II which at this point is likely more environmentally friendly. Uses very little gas and when aged out, is recyclable. |
