Theatre Party Friday Night :-)

10 years ago

Hi everyone,

The party for our one fellow theatre member is this Friday night. I am going to make broccoli salad for the occasion. I made it last year for a cast party and it was a smash! I don't know about taking a beverage to share, but, I will find out today at some point. Oh, and I finally decided on my costume. I am going to go as Linus Van Pelt :-).

Here is the recipe again for the salad. I'm going to double it.

Broccoli Salad

1 head broccoli.
8 oz. bacon
8 oz. shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 med. onion, chopped
1 c. salad dressing (as in Miracle Whip)
1/2 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. vinegar

Fry bacon crisp. Cut up broccoli into pieces. Mix salad dressing, sugar, and vinegar. Add to onion, bacon, cheese, and broccoli.

Brad, I'm not a fan of salads, but that salad sounds like one that I would like.

Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Yeah Linus, don't forget to take your blanket to the dry cleaner first.

Lisa, we do pizza Friday's until football season and then it tends to shift to Sunday. Of course, since I've been set adrift tonight, I'm finding solace with the pizza thing. It's flat out shameful how ritualistic I can make the event. lol

Here's a link to the clothes FNM thread. An easy way to find previous recent FNM threads is to check The Garden Party. We've been cross posting on TGP for this reason, as there is little other activity there, and so one can just go to that forum and see a list of FNM. If you do post a new FNM thread, be sure to cross post on The Garden Party so that this will continue. This started when HT was discontinued. Of course the ones that were on HT cannot be found, and so I think I would be fine to start threads with topics that had previously been posted there, since they are gone now.

FRIDAY NIGHT MUSIC - LOST IN SPACE part 2

I had temporarily forgotten about this song, definitely about Space: When I saw Human League at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco circa 1981, English tourists had bought most of the tickets and so many locals were unable to attend, since the theater is not that large. The English tourists were also very animated and danced in front of their seats during most of the concert instead of sitting, and so I had to stand up to see the stage, and I had a very good seat. All seats were reserved, and so people had to stay in their reserved spaces. I found the group a bit arrogant in their attitude toward the audience, and they said they were shocked when they walked the streets in New York and no one recognized them. They were appreciated in San Francisco but not idolized the way they were in England, and this was a disappointment for them.

FRIDAY NIGHT MUSIC - Friday Night At The Movies Part 2

A cool bit of trivial for the MASH theme, Suicide is Painless, that I learned from Wiki a few years ago. The film's director, Robert Altman, tried to write a lyric to go with the Johnny Mandel music but got stuck. He asked his teenage son to give it a crack and he came up with something in less than 10 minutes. The second interesting tidbit about this is that his son made more money from his share of the writing royalties from use and sales than Dad made from directing the movie.

Ann T, you're welcome! I haven't made it in a while, so I thought I would make it again and not use the oven since it's been very hot here lately.

dcarch, lol Linus would have a nervous breakdown if his blanket was sent to the dry cleaner's. I've loved the Peanuts gang ever since I was little, so I can't wait to wear my costume.

Brad, that was always a favorite side dish in my house, my girls used to argue over the last bit, they liked it better after it sat for a day. It's hot here too, and I think that's a very good choice.

Have fun.

Annie, your girls would like this batch when I serve it lol. I'll be making it the day before, so it'll have time to get all the flavors combined. Luckily, the party's indoors and even then, it'll be in the evening, so, I hope no one wears nothing too warm. Oh, and it'll be just the broccoli salad I'm taking, and no beverage, which is fine! :-)

I got the ingredients this evening to make the salad. I'm going to be a little different and use one head of broccoli and one head of cauliflower. I have seen recipes for broccoli and cauliflower salad, so I hope this turns out well. I'm also using one 8 oz. bag of sharp Cheddar and another 8 oz. bag of mild Cheddar.

All dressed and ready to go! One more hour before the fun begins! Pictures to arrive either later tonight or tomorrow!
