Bronxgirl48 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Oh, Miss G. merci for the remembrance. You picked Rudy's best costume from THE YOUNG RAJAH and he looks so manly, handsome and regal! Not all bangled up as with other Natacha outfits for him in this film, lol. He might even have put this one together himself. (Lillian Gish said Rudy designed the riding habits for her and sister Dorothy -- a man of many talents!)

Bronxgirl48 Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Yes, Maven, we must not neglect this Allison Hayes classic, and you were just the woman to give her and the movie its rightly due! William Hudson seems to have specialized in unpleasant, murderous hubbies. Remember him in THE SCREAMING SKULL? Yvette Vickers, what a sex kitten. Scarlett O'Hara's waist looks bulky by comparison. "Charlie", the "clown" deputy sheriff, cut a nifty rug with "Honey". I must confess his hunky little body was a turn-on. The alien looks a bit like Ralph Bellamy after a heavy night of drinking. I can't quite figure out what that consulting doctor (with the "Viennese" accent) is saying. It sounds like "she has inflammation of the nerp jernt". I love the actress who plays the nurse. She's got a real 1950's-type face, and with a wide mouth just perfect for screaming. ut Allison Hayes got it right. To Harry: "Maybe I should have married Jess and hired YOU as the butler". I don't remember the exact quote, but, more wisdom from the physicians: "When a woman reaches maturity, she sometimes gets frustrated. It's common in this supersonic age". Apparently this does not mean that an airplane is just an airplane, or, a spaceship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Thanks, SueSue! Ha! Allison as Mrs. Archer has what, 40 million dollars, but it's obvious she doesn't shop at Neiman Marcus, Saks, etc. More like Fredericks of Hollywood.

Bronxgirl48 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Yes, I'm another year older, but no wiser. Which I guess is the beginning of wisdom. RO -- Strawberry shortcake, oh boy! Thank you, twinnie! I'll cut Mom a piece, and then save the rest for moi. I was looking forward to the Hammer line-up last night, but only managed to catch SHE. Ursula Andress at 2,000 years old certainly looks better than I do. PREHISTORIC WOMEN then came on but I promptly fell asleep. FRANK -- My sweet boys -- you and Duane! Let me count the 57 ways I love you....(get it? get it? lol) LYNN -- Beautiful Rudy, my friend, grazie mille! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronxgirl48 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 I love it, SansFin! Merci! Yes, that indeed should be my biggest disappointment in life, not being able to tango with Rudy or cut up a rug with Zachary Scott at his mother's wedding celebration in THE SOUTHERNER. I look good in purple, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 I celebrated with friends at an Italian restaurant last night. The place is decorated in Tuscan style, with arched columns and lots of classical motifs. Had chicken marsala and ended with tiramisu. The wine flowed and we all laughed. Our waiter looked more like Ben Affleck than Raoul Bova from UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN, so that was a downer, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 This particular place is a favorite of mine because it really feels like I'm eating in an Italian villa. Unfortunately the Frenchr restaurants that boast of Riviera atmosphere fall way short, ambience-wise. I'm still on the look-out for a good one. Oh my goodness, LOL, the !kidlet certainly has taste! Gene is a cutie-pie, no doubt about it, and I remember a discussion some of us had on his thighs. I can't believe I've reached this age, but it's all relative -- a few of the old crones down here sometimes mistake me for their granddaughters, lol.

Bronxgirl48 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Editing on my last post to you was faulty -- I had written that the kidlet definitely has taste in men! What else did she say about THE Gene? He's got such a terrific smile to go with that hunky body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rohanaka Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 What else did she say about THE Gene Ha.. here is a quick summary of our Three Musketeers conversation: Her: Is that THE Gene Kelly? Me: Yes.. he is the only Gene Kelly I know. Her: Are we going to watch this movie? Me: Do you want to? Her: Yes, I like to see him dance. Me: He isn't going to be dancing.. or singing. It is not a musical. Her:Oh.. can we still watch it? I like him a lot. Me: What do you like about Gene Kelly? (expecting her to reply something back about his singing or dancing) Her: I like his head. Me: His HEAD????????? What do you like about his head. Her: I like his hair.. and his face. HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bet I have the only 3rd grade kid on the planet who has a crush on Gene Kelly. Justin Bieber eat your heart out!!!!! We spent the rest of the movie talking about The Gene as he lept here and there and everywhere slashing and dashing his way across France. About half way through the movie she pipes up and says.. "Wow.. he sure does leap a lot. He is really good at leaping!" Oh me.. last time I looked.. her only hero was Elmo.. Where DID the time go?? Move over Elmo.. The Gene is moving in.. I ask again.. HOW did we EVER get to THIS age??? Edited by: rohanaka on Oct 29, 2011 2:11 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 SUESUE -- THANK YOU, MERCI, GRAZIE! Wow, and with my name on the cake too. That was the first thing I ate, lol, and it's all gone now. Scrumptious. Did Jack Lemmon in THE APARTMENT get those cheese crackers from you? He needed to lay in a good supply (oh no, wait, that's THE DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES). The spagnetti sauce was superb (I'll bet Rudy would want your recipe) over my fidelini pasta. I had never tasted those Mozart candies before but mein Gott, I'm hooked! Danke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 SUESUE, Forgive me, but I dipped your divine home-made French bread into your extraordinary minnestrone and was in heaven. Is there anything you can't make? The only thing I can cook pretty well is scrambled eggs, lol. The secret to getting them fluffy isn't soda water, but a couple drops of Minute Maid frozen lemon juice. That's my feeble contribution to the culinary arts.

rosebette Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Watch out, you might have an old movie junkie in the making. Errol Flynn as Robin Hood was my first crush, but Gene in Singin' in the Rain came a little later. I think I was about 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SansFin Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 > {quote:title=Bronxgirl48 wrote:}{quote} > The only thing I can cook pretty well is scrambled eggs, lol. If you can fry eggs you can make a wonderful Chinese variation: *Pocket Eggs* 2 tablespoons oil 4 eggs Salt Sauce: 1.5 tablespoons light soy sauce 2 teaspoons sugar 2 teaspoons cider vinegar Add all sauce ingredients together and stir until sugar is dissolved. Heat a large skillet until very hot. Add oil. Swirl and heat until very hot. Pour out and reserve 1/2 tablespoon oil. Lower heat slightly. Break eggs into the pan and fry one minute until whites are set around the edges and the bottoms are light brown. Sprinkle yolks with salt. Use a spatula to fold over each egg into crescent shape and press edge slightly with spatula until it is sealed. Fry for half a minute. Return reserved oil to pan. Flip the eggs and fry for another half a minute. Turn heat to high. Stir the sauce. Splash it over the eggs with one hand and clamp on the skillet's lid with the other hand. Take skillet off the heat immediately and swirl until sizzle stops. Serve hot. These are a wonderful combination of sweet and sour and soft and crunchy. They may sound complicated but are quite easy to master. Happy eating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronxgirl48 Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 SANSFIN, I love your recipe for Pocket Eggs! I never heard of it before, but I adore sweet/sour tastes, also making anything into crescent shapes. Should I use peanut or sesame oil? I'm an egg lover, so any new way to prepare them is very much appreciated. I always used to order Eggs Benedict when I went out for Sunday brunch, that is, until I read Anthony Bourdain's book Kitchen Confidential, lol.

SansFin Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 > {quote:title=Bronxgirl48 wrote:}{quote} > Should I use peanut or sesame oil? Sesame oil smokes at high temperatures and adds a strong flavor to the food. It is used most as a seasoning in Chinese cooking. Lard is the best for any Chinese cooking because it enhances the sheen. Corn, soybean, cottonseed or peanut oil are all acceptable. They can stand against the high heat and not smoke or burn. It is important for this recipe that the skillet be so hot the egg crisps as it is put into the skillet. That give them a mildly crunchy shell filled with moist goodness.

Bronxgirl48 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Think I'll skip the lard, lol. I would probably use the peanut oil. I'm always worrying about splattering, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SansFin Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 You will prevent many problems and mishaps if you heat the pan before you add the oil and see that it is hot before you add the food. When you put oil in a cold pan it will cling to the metal. When you add it to a hot pan it swims over the metal and behaves differently. One should always also remember to never fry bacon while nude.

Bronxgirl48 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 I've pan-friend bacon not in the alltogether, but varying stages of undress. Tastes better that way for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
