making bread

Man - punching it down is so satisfying.

but can she walk & chew gum at the same time?

One of the things required for the bread recipe that I'm using is "very warm water - about 120 degrees." I thought I would just boil water, then stop it and let it cool, but I wanted to check. So I did actually find a page on the internet on How To Boil Water

Makes me feel special. Yes, that kind of *special*.

Old Time radio

Bergen & McCarthy: "Tenth Anniversary"

Nice rendition of this song: You Go to My Head.

( Lyrics )

The Green Hornet: "A Matter of Evidence"

Damn - I wasn't paying enough attention, because I thought this was The Shadow, instead. Rich guy, in the newspaper business, whose real identity is only known by one other person, who's often seen as the enemy.

It was a little confusing until they mentioned the Green Hornet.

Huh - they've got another actor as the lead character. I don't like the voice very much.

Kato: "When are we going?"
Rick Reed (a.k.a. the Green Hornet): "In just a moment - as soon as I get this hand grenade."

... oh, I forgot - the cop who works in the department in town is Irish and just calls him "Hornet". But with his accent it always sounds like he's saying, "Harlot".

Philip Marlowe: "The Covered Bridge"

Once again, another, "I love you so much and now I just killed you" kind of stories (well, and much more - it is Philip Marlowe, after all).

And I got to hear about the signing of the Magna Carta on CBS' "You Are There" before that (it's a reenactment of a famous event in history, with reporters asking participants what's going on - so a re-imagining, really). I thought kids might like this, but maybe it would be boring because it's just radio. I know PBS has done stuff like that - what was the name of that dog character who did historic events & novels?
