FROM: The Big Bang Theory
BY: Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady, and Steven Molaro
DEBUT: Amy’s character debuted in The Lunar Excitation episode on 24 May 2010. She became a regular the following season.
PROS: Smart, caring, enthusiastic, loyal, kind, patient.
CONS: Socially AWKWARD, low-self esteem, clueless.
MOST SHINING MOMENT: My favorite Amy moment was when she stood up for herself and her profession in The Vacation Solution. Sheldon, her “boyfriend” has been ordered by the university to take a vacation, he decides on a stay-cations, opting to work along side one of his colleges instead. He quickly wares out his welcome at Leonard, Raj and Howard’s labs and turns to Amy’s Biology lab. At first she is thrilled to have him working with her, thinking it will be romantic, but Sheldon’s arrogance soon has her second guessing that assumption. Here’s an exchange that takes pace after she’s given him a simple task to perform…
Sheldon: (Carrying a tray of beakers) Here you go! This is now the only lab with glassware washed by a man with two doctorates and a restrainingorder signed by Carl Sagan.
Amy:(Inspects a beaker) Soap spots! Wash ’em again.
Sheldon: You’re being ridiculous! Those are perfectly clean.
Amy:(Picks up a large beaker) Sheldon, this beaker used to contain cerebral spinal fluid from an elephant that died of syphilis. If it’s, in fact, perfectly clean,(holds it out to him) drink from it.
Sheldon:(Long pause, then picks up the tray of beakers again) Biologists are mean.
Besides Sheldon’s mother, Amy is about the only person who can really stand up to him. She takes a lot of his ridiculous behavior, and it is really nice to see her in charge.
SECOND RUNNER UP: Fun With Flags… Amy is game to do just about anything to keep her strange BF happy, including being his sidekick in his YouTube productions of Fun With Flags. Here’s the Bavarian version…
QUOTE: “It’s a TIARA!!!”
WHY I CHOSE HER: I think there’s a little be of Amy Farrah Fowler in all of us, so I’ve got a soft spot for her.

Friday “Fiction” — How to Fold a Towel
I usually reserve Fridays for fiction writing. Armed with a writing prompt provided by WordPress blogger, SidevieW, I’ve spent the past month generating Friday’s fiction based on her theme. Today’s theme “DOING IT RIGHT” has less of fiction feel… Here goes…
Which is the right way?
Towel Wars
My mother has ONE way to fold a towel. The right way.
- Lay the towel on a flat surface
- fold the width of the towel in thirds
- then fold it in half length wise
- and fold in half again.
It makes for a nice compact square of towel-ly goodness.
Mom’s method. Start with a flat towel. Four steps later… You’ve done it “the right way.”
Martha Steward folds her towels that way. So does Oprah. But, let me be clear… my mom did it first. (Maybe not first in the whole world, but before these two gals became daytime goddesses.)
Necessity being the mother of invention, mom came up with that method so they’d fit nicely into our linen closet. In fact, on laundry day, after the towels had been washed, line dried and folded (properly) and the linen closet reloaded to its towel storage capacity you couldn’t get anything else in there.
My mom must have had an innate sense of towel geometry. Her towel-to-linen closet ratio was absolutely pitch perfect.
The towels were so compactly and precisely placed in that closet that the first person to take a bath was in serious danger or toppling the whole works if they pulled out the top towel too gingerly.
And if the towel had been folded the wrong way, or had been placed in the closet askew… it just would not have worked. They wouldn’t have fit. That’s because there’s a right way of doing something and a wrong way of doing it.
We tried to rebel of course. As we came into our teen years we JUST KNEW that mom’s insistence that we fold the towels “in thirds and in thirds again” was just some 1950’s drivel — like dressing up and fixing your hair to go food shopping.
We tried:
- folding them in half and then in half again (too wide and too flat).
- foldeing in half (short side) and rolling. (too long).
- kind of folding them and stuffing them in (known as the “brother special” — on the rare occasion that he did it at all — (um no.)
No, no. No. NO. Any job worth doing is worth doing right. So you might as well do it right the first time… because mom is only going to make you do it again… the right way.
When my parents downsized from our family home and looked for a condo I don’t think my mom took a folded towel with her on the real estate showings. But I’m pretty sure she had that inner towel calculator going in her head. A condo without a proper linen closet wasn’t going to pass muster.
Perhaps it is my rebellious nature, my sheer laziness, or the configuration of our towel storage area but I do not use the 3 x 3 folding method mom favored. I fold my towels in half lengthwise, give them a 90 degree turn, fold in half again, then starting at the bound side (not the fold side) roll them tightly.
Crazy, I know, but it works. And, for us it’s just the right way of doing it.
My method. Start with a flat towel. Three steps later… towel nirvana. (OK I’m biased.)
Here’s an alarmingly loud video from “Ask the Decorator” that shows three ways to fold towels.

Father James Keller 6.27.13 Thought of the Day
“Three hundred years ago a prisoner condemned to the Tower of London carved on the wall of his cell this sentiment to keep up his spirits during his long imprisonment: ‘It is not adversity that kills, but the impatience with which we bear adversity.” — Fr. James Keller
![[Image courtesy: Christophers.org]](https://ritalovestowrite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/a-young-fr-keller.jpg)
[Image courtesy: Christophers.org]
The fourth of five children born to James and Margaret Keller, James grew up in an Irish Catholic household. He joined St. Patrick’s Seminar at Menlo Park, California and became interested in the Maryknoll missionaries in 1918.
He entered Maryknoll and was ordained August 15, 1925. But, instead of going to China, he spent the next 20 years on assignment in the United States recruiting students and raising funds for Maryknoll missions. [Christophers.org]
Eventually he began to see that the people who came to his talks “could play a missionary role themselves,” [Ibid] beyond prayer and financial support for the organization. The group’s goal was ” to motivate men and women in all walks of life to bring Judeo-Christian principles to bear on the world around them. ” [Ibid]
![[Image courtesy: Christophers.org]](https://ritalovestowrite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/older-fr-keller.jpg)
[Image courtesy: Christophers.org]
Keller emphasized that each person has a God-given mission, that each person can make a difference, and that constructive action can work miracles.
Newsletters, books, news paper columns, radio and television programs followed. Here’s Hope In Action, a meditation that he wrote:
Hope in Action |
|
|
Hope looks for the good in people instead of harping on the worst. Hope opens doors where despair closes them. Hope discovers what can be done instead of grumbling about what cannot. Hope draws its power from a deep trust in God and the basic goodness of mankind. Hope “lights a candle” instead of “cursing the darkness.” Hope regards problems, small or large, as opportunities. Hope cherishes no illusions, nor does it yield to cynicism. |
Hope sets big goals and is not frustrated by repeated difficulties or setbacks. Hope pushes ahead when it would be easy to quit. Hope puts up with modest gains, realizing that “the longest journey starts with one step.” Hope accepts misunderstandings as the price for serving the greater good of others. Hope is a good loser because it has the divine assurance of final victory. “In the world you will have trouble, but be brave: I have conquered the world.” (John 16:33) James Keller |
Fr. Keller died on February 7, 1977.
Farm Fresh Challenge: Kohlrabi Coleslaw and Polenta Lasagna
Greetings fresh food lovers. We had another amazing box from Calvert’s Gift Farm CSA this week, and farmer Jack, who knows I love Kohlrabi, surprised me with a special gift of the sputnik shaped veggie in my box! Thanks Jack!
Here’s a shot of what I’ll be working with for the Farm Fresh Challenge. (We had more in the box but this is what I chose to use last night.)
Yellow squash, Kohlrabi, Beets, Spring Onion, Sage, Garlic. (Not shown: Mint)
I decided to make a three part challenge today, a drink, side dish and main dish. All part of…

[Not associated with the real Chopped, the Food Network or Tim Allen.]
Round One: Cream Mint Tea
INGREDIENTS:
1 bunch of Mint leaves, stripped from the stem
1 Red Bush (de-caf) Tea Bag
4 cups Boiling Water
3 cups Almond Milk
3 cups Ice Cubes
DIRECTIONS:
1. Heat the water to a boil
2. Brew the Mint Leaves and the Tea Bag for 20 minutes
3. Remove the Tea Bag and Leaves. In batches, place 1/3 of the tea, 1 cup of Almond Milk, and 1 cup of Ice Cubes into a blender and process until smooth. Repeat twice more until the tea is complete.
4. Keep chilled. If Tea flattens, pop it back into the blender for a few seconds to froth it up.
Round Two: Kohlrabi Coleslaw
INGREDIENTS:
3 medium Kohlrabi
1 bunch of Beets
1 bunch of Spring Onions
1 bunch Radish
1 Fennel Bulb
3 Tablespoons of Mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
1/2 lemon
Salt and Pepper
DIRECTIONS:
1. Grate the Kohlrabi, Beets, Spring Onions, Radish and Fennel (use a large whole grater).
2. In a small bowl mix the Mayonnaise, Olive Oil and the juice of the 1/2 Lemon.
3. Toss the grated vegetables with the Lemony Mayonnaise.
4. Salt and Pepper to taste.
5. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
This is an excellent Crisper buster. I not only used the super fresh ingredients from the box (Kohlrabi, Beets, Spring Onion) but I used up some ingredients that I hadn’t had a chance to use from last week (Fennel, Radish). If I had celery or carrots they would have made it into the slaw as well. I think some raisins and or nuts would be an excellent add in.
BONUS to Baltimore readers: The Beets give this a certain RAVENS purple, so its perfect for a picnic if you want to celebrate our Super Bowl Champs… Just sayin’.
A serving of Kohlrabi Coleslaw goodness.
Round Three: Polenta Lasagna
INGREDIENTS:
1 pre-cooked Polenta “sausage” (my market has this with the rolls in front of the deli counter. It is not refrigerated.)
Cooking Spray
1/4 cup of fresh Sage Leaves
1 whole Garlic
1 bunch of spring Onion
4 medium Yellow Squash
4 slices of Provolone Cheese
Grated Italian Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1. Pre-Heat Foreman Grill to 350 degrees. (You could also use a frying pan)
2. Cut up the Polenta into 1/3″ slices (Warning the Polenta is packed in water…which tends to squirt out when you pierce the plastic wrap.) (Ideally you’ll want to get 15 slices out of the slices — think slice and bake cookies)
3. Spray the surface of the Grill (or pan) and heat the Polenta slices for 5 minutes.
4. Separate the Garlic into cloves.
5. Cut up the Onion and Squash into same size slices.
6. When Polenta is finished cooking remove from grill and set aside. Place the Garlic, Onion and Squash on the grill and cook for 5 minutes.
7. Spray a square glass pan (like a cake pan) and arrange the Polenta. Top with Sage Leaves.
You should be able to fit two row of three slices and a third row of half slices. Put the rest of the Polenta to the side.
8. When the Garlic, Onion and Squash is cooked arrange it in a layer over the Polenta. Top with slices of Provolone.
9. Add a second layer of Polenta. Add extra Sage Leaves, Salt and Pepper and grated Italian Cheese.
Polenta Lasagna
10. Keep in refrigerator until a few minutes before plating then pop in the Microwave for a few minutes to reheat.
Since you can make this ahead of time it makes for a nice Summer dish. The Polenta Lasagna feeds 3 or 4 adults.

Carly Simon 6.25.13 Thought of the Day
The Very Best of Carly Simon: Nobody Does It Better (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Carly Elisabeth Simon was born on this day in New York City, New York, USA in 1945 She is 68 years old.
She was born into a musical family. Her father played piano (and was a co-founder of Simon and Schuster publishing house), her mom, Andrea, was a singer and civil rights activist. The family sang together in what Carly calls “the family choir” when the she and siblings Joanna, Lucy, and Joey were growing up in Riverdale, NY and Stamford, Connecticut.
Lucy & Carly – The Simon Sisters Sing for Children (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
She and sister Lucy formed the Simon Sisters and played at Greenwich Village clubs opening for the likes of “Woody Allen, Bill Cosby, Dick Cavett and other soon-to-be-famous people.” [Carlysimon.com/Biography.html] Those late nights and long train rides from the city meant overdue papers and raised eyebrows at Sarah Lawrence College, and Carly dropped out. She moved to the south of France with her boyfriend and pursued her music full-time.
Three albums and a hit (Wynken, Blinken and Nod) later The Simon Sisters collaboration came to an end after Carly had a nervous breakdown (brought on by a wine allergy) and Lucy got married.
She was signed by Elektra Records in 1970 and released her first, self titled album in 1971. The record featured her hit “That’s The Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be.”
Simon says making her second album, Anticipation, “was one of the best memories I shall ever have of recording. I had a band. The entire album was just that band… there were strings on a few songs, but on the whole it was sparse and I loved it.” [Ibid]
Twenty-four albums and nine compilations followed. Simon won three Grammy Awards — in 1972 for Best New Artist; 1990 for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture for “Let the River Run” (Working Girl); and in 2004 when “You’re So Vain” was inducted to the Grammy Hall of Fame. “Let the River Run” also won an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award, making it the first song to win the Grammy, Oscar, Golden Globe trifecta. Simon was inducted to the songwriters Hall of Fame in 1994.
Here’s a smattering of Carly Simon’s best…
And my personal favorite…

The good news is the merciful Maggie has let me borrow her laptop so I’m not attempting this blog post on my iPad with it wonky navigation and lack of arrow keys. (I love my iPad, but common fellas…) Enough pathetic grumbling. Lets talk muffins…

Fiction Friday — “Fairly Really Worth Sufficient For Me”
By: Rita Baker-Schmidt
Geneva Spivey looked at her operator with concern. The android female on the other side of the telescreen was composed and pleasant, but she was talking gibberish. Almost nothing she had said had made any linear sense in the last 2 hours.
“What I’m trying to say,” Spivey spoke slowly and clearly into her com device, “Is… I think there may be a bug in the translator.”
Marion Teague, communications model 763985, Diadactic Achievement Institute, Station 17, smiled pleasantly. “I am trusted you’re dealings with political opponent. Its barons controlled these islands for more lender volitions. It allows governments to trim its vulnerability to unlike organizations.”
Spivey shook her head and tried not to say “Whaaaaat?” out loud. “See. That’s what I’m talking about. That made no sense at all.”
Teague, blinked her perfect, emotionless eyes and continued to smile, “If you move around onto Southward beginning Street you might run across numerous sound challenges to cover the proportion unbalance,” she suggested very unhelpfully.
The Earth bound communications officer reached for her keyboard and typed in the diagnostic sequence again… and again got the same result. Everything was functioning within normal parameters.
Except … her Com Bot on Station 17 had either lost her ability to speak or had lost her mind. OR there was something wrong with the equipment.
“Run another 15f8n2-B scan for me, please.”
As Station 17 made it’s slow orbit around the planet Marion Teague ran the requested scan, again, for her commander dirt side.
She shrugged as the results appeared on both their consuls. “Very nice submit, Captain.I will certainly digg it and in my view suggest to my friends.”
Spivey was stumped.
A minute later her interface device buzzed and the call she placed to support came through. Darius Plummer from Fairgoer Communications, the sub contractor that had designed the translator, greeted her with a smile. “Good afternoon, Captain Spivey, I understand there’s a bit of an emergency over there?”
She filled the programmer in on the situation and adjusted the com device so the screen in front of her was split between Marion Teague’s some what fuzzy image from outer space, and Darius Plummer’s hi-def image from Palo Alto.
She up loaded a transcript from the last two hours for his review. Then she patched him in so he could hear, first hand, what was happening on Station 17.
“Hey Marion,” He said smoothly. Darius had installed the space station’s module and programmed Teague and the rest of the Bot staff up there. His time in space had been the most exciting 3 months of his life, and he looked at the androids circling above them almost as friends. “We gotta little mumbo jumbo going on up there?”
The Bot’s smile grew more “genuine” at seeing Darius’ face. “Ahaa, its pleasant conversation concerning this paragraph here at this webpage,I have read all that, so at this time me also commenting here.”
“Come again, darlin’.”
“Its been like this all afternoon.” Spivey complained.
“I create a leave a response when I appreciate a post on a site or if I have something to add to the discussion.” Teague told him warmly.
“And that made absolutely no sense at all.” Darius told her. He started to scan the readouts of the prior conversation.
“I found lot of great points in this post. You have done an impressive occupation and our entire community will probably be grateful to you” Taegue said slightly more emphatically.
“Yeah that didn’t really help.” A frown deepened as he scanned the increasingly odd responses from his friend.
Taegue tried again. “I’ve been surfing on-line more than three hours today. It’s fairly really worth sufficient for me. In my see, if all internet owners and bloggers made great content as you did, the net will be much much more helpful than ever before.”
“Internet?” Spivey asked, “What the heck is an internet?”
“It’s an ancient communication sharing tool, They used it way back when they first started using computers. But…” He held up his hand to hold the women at bay as he looked something up. “I’ll be right back.” His portion of he screen went blank.
“A undivided someone can help clamant favourable reception,” Teague said from space.
“Yeah, what ever.” Spivey said under her breath.
“Captain Spivey.” Darius Plummer popped back on-screen. “I think our friend Teague has a virus.”
“Explain,” ordered Spivey.
“I don’t know how it happened but I think she’s been spammed.” Darius told the two women about spamming, and what a problem it was before it was outlawed in 2054. “Some how that spamming junk language has made its way to her programming and that’s what she’s been spewing out.”
“Well,” the officer demanded, “what the hell do we do about it?”
“I’m sending up a patch now.” He assured her.
Teague gave him a genuine — for an android — smile “This submit truly made my day. You can not imagine simply how a great deal time I had spent for this info! Thank you!”
“How long before we know if it works?” Spivey asked.
Darius shrugged. “Honestly, I don’t know. I’ve never seen anything like this. I don’t even know if it will work.”
They had a three-way staring match for a moment. Then Marion Teague blinked her perfect eyes and smiled. “Oh, that’s much better. Thank you Darius.” She turned her attention to Spivey, “I’m ready to give my report now Captain.”
————————–
All the gibberish is real SPAM from my SPAM folder. I figured if some one was KIND enough to send it to me the LEAST I could do was to use it as fodder for a story. Likewise, the character and company names are from unsolicited and dubious Emails that have made their way into my account (a surprising number of which beg to inform me that I have inherited a great deal of money!)
Errol Flynn 06.20.13 Thought of the Day
“I allow myself to be understood as a colorful fragment in a drab world.”
“It isn’t what they say about you, it’s what they whisper.”
“By instinct I’m an adventurer; by choice I’d like to be a writer; by pure, unadulterated luck, I’m an actor.”
— Errol Flynn
English: The front cover of Errol Flynn’s autobiography, “My Wicked, Wicked Ways”. The front cover is part of John Kobal’s Kobal Collection images. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Errol Leslie Thomson Flynn was born on this day in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia in 1909. Today is the 104th anniversary of his birth.
Son of Theodore and Lily Mary “Marelle” Flynn, Errol had a knack for adventure and trouble,
Young Flynn was a rambunctious child who could be counted on to find trouble.
Errol managed to have himself thrown out of every school he was enrolled in. [IMDb]
That included Sydney Church of England Grammar School, the Shore School, which he managed to get expelled from for both fightiing and for having a romanitic assignation with the school’s laundress. [Per his autobiography “My Wicked, Wicked Ways”]
By the time he was in his late teens he’d left (or was ejected from) school for good and set out to find his fortune… literally…
he set out to find gold, but instead found a series of short lived odd jobs. Information is sketchy, but the positions of police constable, sanitation engineer, treasure hunter, sheep castrator, shipmaster for hire, fisherman, and soldier seem to be among his more reputable career choices. [Ibid]
By the early 1930s he was in England, and by 1933 his good looks, atheletic ability, and smooth voice had landed him a gig with the Northampton Repertory company. That same year he appeared in his first movie as Fletcher Christian on In the Wake of the Bounty. (Ironically, Flynn claimed that his mother descended from a midshipman of the Bounty).
Cover of Captain Blood
Now that he had his sea legs under him, Warner Brothers signed him to a contract and he moved to America to star in Captain Blood.
He quickly rocketed to stardom as the undisputed king of swashbuckler films, a title inherited from Douglas Fairbanks, but which remains his to this day. Onscreen, he was the freedom loving rebel, a man of action who fought against injustice and won the hearts of damsels in the process. [Ibid]
He wasn’t fulfilled with the roles Hollywood was offering him. Of the well over 50 movies he made he said, “I’ve made six or seven good films – the others, not so good.” He also noted, “I felt like an impostor, taking all that money for reciting ten or twelve lines of nonsense a day.”
Cropped screenshot of Errol Flynn from the film That Forsyte Woman (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Off Screen he ran at life full throttle. He drank hard, romanced the ladies (especially the young ladies) and self-medicated with both legal and illegal drugs. He lead –as author Benjamin S. Johnson put it–an “Errolesque” life. His hard living eventually caught up to him. His youthful, handsome face gave way to a puffy lined one. He was no longer able to do his own stunts. Roles came fewer and father between. “A few good roles did come his way late in life, however…” [IMDb] and he was finally “making a name as a serious actor before his death.” [Ibid] The Sun Also Rises (1957) was, perhaps the best performance of his career.

Flynn died on October 14, 1959 of myocardial infarction, coronary thrombosis, coronary atherosclerosis, liver degeneration, liver sclerosis and diverticulitis of the colon. Allegedly his last words were “I’ve had a hell of a lot of fun and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.” He was 50 years old.
