Day of Doris

It's her 88th, and I feel the need to give her some much deserved love.

After all, she was an early role model of mine.
Oh, how many afternoons did I find myself watching an afternoon matinee of "Pillow Talk" on PBS....
dreaming of the day I'd become a a virginal interior decorator with a sexy husky voice....
with Rock Hudson lusting after me.

Well, I got the virginal part right at least.

 Anyway if you love her too, here's a  wonderful npr interview with the wonderful Doris by the wonderful Terry Gross (via the wonderful Felix)

And if you're too lazy to listen to that, just listen to this:

"Who in de world would name dair chile 'Duh Cootah'?

Her friend:

"Dat ain't no 'u'! It's a 'o'.  Girl, her name's *Dakota*."

Student:

Country Club Stumped

I'm wracking my brain over here trying to think of dish to fit Marshall's monthly potluck competition. The theme chosen was "Country Club Food."
 Huh?

Who voted for this??
 Oh yeah, I guess I did. But mainly because I just hoped to come dressed as, oh....Dina Merrill?
(More likely to look like Ina Garten)
Anyway, I wasn't thinking.

Fact is, I don't know nothing 'bout no Country Club. I've certainly never eaten at one.
What do white people eat anyway? It's all rather mysterious. Club sandwiches? Arnold Palmers?

So any of you classy sorts ever eaten with the country club set? I suspect you have. What do wasps serve in their natural habitat? What's waspy and cheap good?

Speaking of potluck competition, here are a few of my past attempts:

My "The Many Faces of Michael Jackson cupcakes"(chocolate frosted white cupcakes)... for the "Dish that reminds you of a celebrity" competition.  It was a very last minute addition to my Madonna "Like a Vegan" Lasagna.

From the "School Cafeteria" competition. I made creamed spinach.

Most recently, for the "Dish that reminds you of a song" theme:  a "Raspberry Torte"

And now a word from our sponsor....

Here in "Hollywood South", we have top of the line ads. Here's one from my local Pawn Shop (or is that Porn?)
