people are people, darling
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!

Gwyneth darling – just got caught upon your daily posts – super! Guess what I’ve done? Copied your entries for the last four days, and I’ve printed them off and am going to send them to Granny, probably with a few pictures. I know she’ll love reading them. I spoke to her yesterday, and she was so pleased to have a letter from me, and ‘read all about what you’re doing.’ Now that she no longer has e-mail facilities, I think I am going to send her a letter a week, if I can, and I’ll include your postings as well! I send her copies of e-mails I write, but this is something really special for her.
I’ve munched zucchini bread two mornings in a row – it is truly delightful! Hope all is well with you – did you get my e-mail about the license? Hope so. Anyway, keep this up, it’s terrific!
All love, Aunty Lenny xxxx
