I work in tv ...so I get lots of requests for people to appear in television

reality shows or as guests on the talk show circuit. Thought I'd throw

out a few. Please respond directly to their email. I don't cast them....

I'm just telling you about them. You may be the next desperate-housewife/

date seeking/business success story ever. Who knows.

 

NBC is looking for a Mom makeover to feature on their Mothers Day

segment. If you are lucky enough to still have a Mom or know someone

else with a mom....email  query-2xxj@helpareporter.net

Do you have wierd dreams? I know I do...usually involving me
in James Bond type situations....chased by tuxedo clad spies.
Wow....no wonder sleep is one of my favorite activities. If you
want to have those wierd dreams analyzed on a big ABC  show
email  query-2xg7@helpareporter.net

They want to know about recurring dreams and if you want
answers to what those dreams mean. Personally I couldn't care
less.....just keep 'em coming. But that's me.

CURVY MANNEQUINS CAUSING CHAOS!!!!

It's been a long time since I've actually walked in a store and said..."I'll take that one straight off

the store mannequin. The store "dummies" as I prefer to call them are pretty much anorexic and

usually don't have features that can be found in real life.

 Does the lingerie department think they're kidding us? Don't think so.   Most of the mannequins
look like bad replacements for Star Trek. Or they don't even have heads. So it must have been quite
a suprise in Sweden to go into the lingerie department and see curvy girls with as my British Mum would say "knickers and knockers."

 

Some people loved them, and some people thought they were promoting obesity. Really???

you really think.

ARE YOU EVER TOO OLD FOR ROCK AND ROLL?????

 

Went to a concert the other night to see Bon Jovi.. I have to be honest

..... I was not a huge fan....but everyone else in the screaming venue

certainly was. I'm not sure how I missed all those bands in the 80's and 90's.

 Maybe because I was too busy changing diapers and doing  the carpool run

and trying to  work enough to keep my head aligned.

 

Who knows? My music was the sixties and seventies. That's the music

 I fell in love to....(over and over) and the music I drank my first beer to,

and the music my friends and I would dance on tables to ....and sing along

with in convertibles  at the top of our lungs. That music speaks to me...and
I can totally see how Bon Jovi, Journey, and Aerosmith speak to this younger
audience.

 

At the Bon Jovi concert my biggest thrill was having a hard time looking

through the binoculars because Latisse was really  working on my eyelashes.

(that's another post).  No seriously, great concert. Sorry I missed ya' in the 80's
and 90's. And my compliments. You and  Richie Sambora rock.

 

Seriously though, when are you too old for concerts and rock-n-roll? I say

never. But here are a few thoughts.

 

You are too old for going to concerts if......

 

You spend the entire concert with your binoculars  trying to determine if

the musicians have had  face lifts and are wearing wigs.

 

 You look at their feet to see if their wearing orthopaedic shoes.

 

Loud?...what are they talking about? Sounded fine to me.

 

You count the number of glasses of water they drink,  and breaks they have.

How do they do it?? 

(Please add your own criteria.)

 

 

Personally I will be too old to go to concerts when I'm dead.

ROCK AND ROLL FOREVER!!!!!!

HOW ABOUT AN IRISH BUCK FOR ST PATS??????

Believe it or not Dee Morles is half Irish. Yep. My Mom's maiden name is Brophy and my Grandmothers maiden name is Kennedy. So St. Pat's Day has always been a special day for me. In fact high on my bucket list is another trip to Dublin to go to a Van Morrison concert.

With my drink recipe I give you an  Irish poem  that has always graced my parents house.

Here's a Ce'ad Mi"le Fa"olte
to friend and rover
'Tis a greeting that Irish
as Irish can be
It means you are welcome
a thousand times over
Wherever you come from
Whoever you be.

I got this recipe from the Boston magazine. And it's good. A nice change from the girly drinks.
 After all, who knows more about Irish and drinking than the good people from Bean Town.

SO BOTTOMS UP LASSIES.

Watch out for the "Heathers"!!!!

Do you remember the movie "Heathers" where a group of mean bitchy popular
girls created mayhem?. It was dark wicked entertainment. But I've notice that
the padded shouldered-big-haired Heather girls are now older and
incredibly disrespectful and yes, still bitchy.

In the tv business, thank God, I work mainly with men. The women in tv are for
the most part the kind of women who work with men and are pretty mellow. The
World of Men is pretty drama free. No one cries, has fits or is a tattle tale. No
one gossips about anyone else and if you're wrong , no one makes a big deal
about it. It is sheer heaven.

But those Heathers, unfortunately they still manage to creep into my life . The other day a
baseball hat , sweat pant wearing Heather that walks around my "hood" pointed
out to me that my rescue lab (who has disappearing issues) was sitting outside
my house and wouldn't come in. Duh, as if  I didn't know that. But she proceeded to tell
me that my lab scared people. I asked her if he had ever bothered her and she said no,
but she saw a child who was scared and she was going to tell the police. Really?
You know she was that girl no one liked that always had to tell the teacher.


Then in Vegas, for a friends birthday, we went to the spa. The Heather at the
desk told us we were late and we couldn't do this and we couldn't do that. Just to make
sure our fun outing was going to be ruined. My friend Terri bitched them out and told
them we were spending a lot of money and she didn't like her attitude. Seriously Heather,
we are so sorry you have a job you don't like, and I'm sure you're not making the hundred
thousand a year you think you deserve. But we were all waitresses and retail clerks in
college. Get over it.

My third Heather moment was a pr person at a local business that I contacted to do
a story for a syndication feed that goes out to stations all over the country and  is
viewed by millions of people. She wasn't really interested because they didn't have enough
stations in a certain area. "Oh yes," I said,"I can certainly understand why you
wouldn't want millions of people to view your experts." WTF....is she really that
stupid?

I don't want to say Heathers are just in their thirties. There are a lot of fantastic
women in that age group. And there are Heathers everywhere. But I do notice that  the
Heathers have some common characteristic....zero  ability to look outside the box...
the concept that the customer is always right, and mind-your-own-business.

I make tons of mistakes, we all do, but I  know the value of an apology and of being
grateful.  Do you have a Heather moment to share? Love to hear it.

30 HOT CELEBS OVER 50!!!!!!!

It's always important to check out what's out there. Let's face it, as girls we've been
checking out the competition since we were hanging upside down on the jungle gym.
The nice thing about getting older is that you can simply sit back and admire other
beautiful women . Reality has a good way of sorting out the green eyed monster and
keep you being grateful for the things you do have. SURE. You know we still look
and we still compare. But we also know at this point that beauty alone doesn't guarantee
us a happy life. Which is a big damn relief. Once you get that figured out accepting
yourself is way easier.

But let's hear it for the women over 50 that can still get a second look. We admire you,
we love the roles you play , and we love the example you set.

CRACK PIE...SOOO ADDICTIVE!!!!!

Fantastic!!!

CRACK PIE

I had read about crack pie and the urban legends that go with it.
After all , the name of the restaurant that invented it, Momofuku,
is pretty engaging in itself.  I was in  Manhattan and decided to
find the Momofuku Milk Bar myself and try this baby out. I
wandered around looking for the location at 51 NW 56th Street
and honestly couldn't find it. No storefront. The sort of place you
kind of had to be an insider to find. Well this outsider Magellan
doesn't give up and I finally found the number on a plain door.

Really. That's confidence. Which is exactly what you're going
to need to make this. It's complicated, there are lots of steps,
But like everything else in life. Amazing usually takes time.
Everyone should try it at least once. It is off the charts out- of- control.
Make it...then you need to take the recipe and burn it.

CRACK PIE

1 recipe Oat cookie (recipe to follow)

15 g light brown sugar/1 tablespoon tightly packed

1 g salt/1/4 teaspoon

1 recipe crack pie filling (recipe to follow)

confectioner sugar for dusting

Heat oven to 350

Put the oat cookie, brown sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse it off
and on until the cookie is like wet and. Put the crumbs in a bowl, add the
butter and knead it until it's moist enough to form in a ball. Divide the
oat crust evenly between 2 ten inch pie tins. Press the oat cookie crust firmly
making sure the bottoms and sides of the tin are evenly covered. Put both pie
shells on a sheet pan. Divide the crack pie filling evenly between the crusts.
Fill them up 3/4 of the way . Bake for 15 minutes. They should be golden
brown on top but jiggly.

Reduce the temp of the oven to 325 while keeping the pies inside the over.
When it reaches 325 bake for five more minutes. Transfer to rack to cool.
Dust with confectioner's sugar.

Ok....that's how you do it. But here';s what you have to do to get there.

OAT COOKIE
1 stick butter
1/3 cup tightly packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup flour
1 1/ cup rolled oats
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
pinch baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Pam
Heat oven to 350 degrees

Combine the butter and sugars in the bowl of a standard mixer fitted
with a paddle attachment.Scrape down sides with spatula. On low add
egg yolk and increase speed to medium until the sugar granules
dissolve and the mixture is a pale white.

On low speed add flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Mix for a minute until your dough comes together and any remnants
of dry ingredients have been incorporated.

Pam spray a quarter sheet pan and line with parchment.Plop down the
cookie dough and spread it out until it is 1/4 inch thick. The dough
won't end up covering the entire pan which is ok.

Bake for 15 minutes Cool.


Now for the CRACK PIE FILLING

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cups tightly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup milk powder
1/4 cup corn powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 sticks butter melted
3/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 egg yolks

Combine the sugar,brown sugar, milk and corn powder and salt in the bowl
of a stand mixes fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on low speed.
Add the melted butter for 2-3 minutes until moist. Add heavy cream, vanilla and
continue mixing 2-3 minutes until any white streaks have disappeared. Scrape sides.

Add egg yolks, paddling them into the mixture to combine,but don't aerate the
mixture. Mix on low until glossy and homogeneous.
