Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from December 25, 2020 Favoriting

Bronwyn Bishop's avatar View Bronwyn Bishop's profile Favoriting

Musical theater from off the beaten path. Obscure and unusual show tunes from within the canon and without, flops, failures, and the newest works from up-and-coming artists—plus tried-and-true hits. Also, occasional appearances from songs that are not show tunes (but only if they go really well with show tunes).

I forget what's the difference between an elf and a troll..?...:)

Jelly!! I am visiting my parents and the power went out so we had to get takeout from waffle house bc it was the only thing open

Sorry, I was busy ruining Xmas dinner and forgot the time.

My oven has the special feature that when you turn off the timer, the oven also goes off, so my chicken was not really getting roasted... or was it? No idea now.
Avatar 8:05pm

i hope it ends up being a nice chicken for u!

NYC. Moderate rain and strong wind from 11PM to 6AM.

Goldanged infernal machines LG.
  8:07pm
CC:

When we are cooking we use timers to keep track of where we're at...of course when they go off you wonder what it was you set them for???...hehehe...:)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:09pm
WR:

Use cooking thermometer if you have it LG. Safest way to know it is adequately cooked.
Avatar 8:09pm
Listener Gregory:

@WR, yes. The design of this Whirlpool stove is idiotic in most ways.
Avatar 8:12pm
Listener Gregory:

I consulted the Joy of Cooking (edition ca. 1955), which told me to cook it to 190°. Fortunately I mentioned this in a text, and my brother told me I was an idiot.
  8:17pm
CC:

Some people don't worry about stuff if it's a little raw???...:)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:19pm
Webhamster Henry:

maybe it was 190°C.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:22pm
doctorjazz:

I've read white meat is fine at 150, dark meat at 175 degrees.
Avatar 8:31pm
Listener Gregory:

You measure it at 165 or so and then let it rest for 20 min, and it continues to cook. Having eaten some, I’d say it’s ok but not great. However, not disastrous, which was my worry.
Avatar 8:33pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

yay glad it turned out ok!!
  8:34pm
CC:

I don't know how they expect people to develop their own antibodies against stuff if we all have to be so careful???...:)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:35pm
Webhamster Henry:

No other animals bothers to cook their food.
Avatar 8:36pm

This sounds like a rejected song from Jesus Christ Superstar. What a wail!

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:41pm

Ok, all leftovers wrapped and in fridge. All prep dishes put away. Dirty dishes in the sink. Going to sit and sip tea and listen to the rest of this show in repose. Then wash the dishes.

WHH, the link didn't work for me.

LOL, LG. Best we can do is wish you the best and random bits of possibly wrong info offered with best of intentions.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:49pm

Beat box makes sense, WR, should have thought of they (wasn't a human rhythm, to constant and unrelenting)
