42º and contrails all going south....
My pal Trish Bowler sent this link yesterday.
Driving down Hollywood Blvd and Sunset Blvd... OMG. Such memories! My aunt
(Agnes) and grandmother (Nanno) lived a couple blocks off Hollywood Blvd on
Whitley. This is the corner of Hollywood and Whitley now.
It used to be a tiny market. We would walk across Hollywood Blvd to JJ
Newberry's and sit at the lunch counter....
then down the street to Grauman's Chinese Theater,
you'd even see movie stars driving by, on occasion.
When Agnes and Nanno lived there it was two two-story houses in front with
a gate in between and then individual single story apartments down two sides and
fish ponds in the middle with two story apartments in the back..
That is me with my brother-in-law Joe. The apartment in the back was
directly across from my aunt and grandmother. In it lived Hank and Scotty, the
two nicest men! Had no idea what "gay" meant, I was too young. And next to them
lived Marjorie Boutnikoff. Her husband was Ivan Boutnikoff a conductor who
traveled all the time. She played the harp in the Hollywood Bowl orchestra and
would take me many times with her to sit in the orchestra pit and watch
ballet. In the apartment closer to the front, Frank Sinatra lived for a while
when he first moved to Hollywood. Anyway, this is what it looks like
now...
These addresses are 1837 and 1853. The old place was 1843½ Whitley. Around
on the street east of them, Cherokee, is where Carol Burnett lived with her
grandmother. She went to Hollywood High. Then up the street and over on Franklin
and Cahuenga was the market where my grandmother used to shop... not a market
anymore...
This building was down the street from them, and is still there
today...
I loved the video, but got emotional watching it.
Ok, this Golden loves it when his master plays the guitar! He bobs his head
to the music. When he stops playing, the look on the dog's face is absolutely
hilarious!

September 23rd is National Great American Pot Pie Day,
celebrating a favorite American comfort food. Pot pie (also spelled potpie) is a
misappropriated name. Originally, “pot pie” referred to a crustless mixture
of meat pie
ingredients and noodles, stewed in a pot on the stove top.
Over time, the term became used to designate a meat pie with
conventional crusts, baked in the oven in a deep pie plate or casserole
dish.
POT PIE HISTORY
Meat pies likely date back to the milling of flour in
ancient times, but before the invention of pie plates, which came many centuries
later. Very thick crusts were used as baking vessels (but were not eaten, due to
the high proportion of salt required to stiffen the crust). Meat pies in large
vessels made of crust were popular banquet fare during the Roman
Empire.
By the 16th century, the English gentry revived the ancient
custom of meat pies. Venison was the meat of choice. The recipe crossed the pond
to America, where it became as American as…pot pie!

The pot pie can be baked without a bottom crust but with a conventional top crust or a biscuit topping (the dough is dropped onto the top), like a cobbler. POT PIE VARIATIONS
While most people immediately think of chicken pot pie, pot
pies are made today from any type of meat,poultry, fish or seafood, as well as vegetarian varieties. If you
have venison, by all means enjoy a historic venison pot
pie.
