pesky, I'm with you...I got ready for bed when kanye was on...I had so much fun though watching the audience...during the other players, all the baby boomers were rockin' and boppin'....when kanye came on, the young 'uns were still hoppin' and hollerin' and the "old fogies" were standing there sort of scratching their heads! I figure we have at best about 10 years more of these concerts before our beloved rockers from the 60s and 70s get too old to do concerts any more, so enjoy it while it lasts. That was such a fabulous concert though that I am reluctant to critique, but I will anyway. Clearly 2 songs from the stones was too few....where were all the women?....it was near criminal to not have Paul McCartney sing as a duet with Diana Krall...her appearance was way too short....and shouldn't they have closed with Let It Be? So many highlights though...too many to mention...one stand out though was Billy Joel's sax player....phenomenal. And it was amazing to me how many songs were so appropriate for the theme of the night...and some of the photos of the ravages of Sandy were just stunning. Honoring the rescue workers was wonderful. And of course the line up was 2nd to none. I'll be very excited to hear how much money they raised....we know $30 mil in ticket sales alone. Some were criticizing the scalping of tickets though where blocks bought were resold at much higher prices, skimming some potential profits for the relief fund. Regardless, I'm sure it was a total success. Congratulations to all the workers behind the scenes who managed to pull this off in such a short time and so successfully.

Hi Terri! I'll post my dinner here, so that my thread drops down. We set a record temperature for cold last nite -30C. It warmed up to be a beautiful, sunny winter day. -11C. Hubby had the urge for hotdogs, so he had 2 of those and I had a sausage on a bun, loaded with mustard, onions and sauerkraut. Bought some potato salad and coleslaw to go with them. I made a cherry cheesecake last nite and we had that for dessert. It's the uncooked, refrigerated kind with whipped cream. Delish!

Joel's country cooking: greek baked chicken breast, french green bean casserole, squash croquette VERY VERY TASTY Tonite, back to Quaker multi grain hot cereal!

The rest of the pork from yesterday, with rice and peas. Hubby didn't even want another kind of meat. He loved the pork roast.
