Okay, so I know that a lot of my musical theatre references go unacknowledged.  But I get such a kick out of using them ~ “People are people, darling” is a piece of Sally Bowles’ dialog from “Cabaret” ~ which I saw on Broadway during Alan Cumming’s limited return run, and have been forever enamored with him since.  “Wilkomen, bienvenue, welcome!” (*imagine simply divine jazz hands!*) … mmm, I’m sure Joel Grey was phenomenal (**musical theatre virgins, he originated the role and played the Emcee in the movie version with Liza Minelli), but Alan Cumming changed musical theatre for me that gray January matinee.  Sheer and utter brilliance.

Pop quiz ~ who is Joel Grey’s dancin’ daughter?

Anyway ….

People have been so fabulous to me since the man has been gone, and tonight I am dining with my neighbors (they of the totally fabulous short ribs).  I am contributing a little meat and cheese platter procured from the restaurant (I know, I know, so stock option, but sooooooo good!).

I figure I may not get around to posting about zucchini fritters tonight (or zucchini fries for that matter), but never fear, they will be on the menu for manana!  I have a big ole zucchini, and it’s gotta get eaten!

Happy Monday everyone ~ hope it wasn’t too manic!
