If you'd like to know a little more about NZ, check out the NZ tour guide section of my website (the link is below). I'm slowly getting more information there, and the most relevant section is the "General Information" section (NZ Places on the menu). If you (or anyone else) wants to know anything more specific, just let me know!

I'm a little late chiming in on this one (damn work is getting in the way!) but I thought I'd share my (very) simple recipe for guacamole. This one goes a long way, and doesn't require any blending. And if avocados are expensive (they quite often are here) it tends to be a cheaper alternative - and it's very tasty! 1 ripe avocado 3 small tomatoes 1/2 cup sour cream 1/4 small onion 1 tsp crushed garlic lemon juice salt & pepper Peel the tomatoes - the easiest way is to score them with a sharp knife, then pour boiling water over them. After a few minutes, the skins will peel off very easily. Chop them reasonably finely and add to a bowl with the avocado flesh. Chop the onion very finely and add to the rest with the garlic. Mix these thoroughly with a fork, then add the sour cream and blend it through. Add the lemon juice and salt & pepper to taste, and you're done. It's great with corn chips!

I still have it. All of this sounds very idyllic but it was naive and because Id never set up a career  what Joni Mitchell later called the star-stoking machinery  for myself, by the time the 70s came round and everything had gotten hard-nosed and materialistic, I got wiped out. Say what? The star WHAT machinery? And "setting up a career" isn't really what the star-maker machinery is all about anyway.

I've really been wanting to hear the demo of "Good Friends" for a long time, so today, I went to the CD store I thought might have it. Not behind the counter or in Joni's slot. The clerk told me after looking it up in his computer that it looked like they had a copy but it was packed and ready to be returned (it had been on the shelf for awhile) and that it was in one of the crates going back. They told me to call tomorrow and they'd find it. I asked the clerk if he would just skim the top of the crates to see if he could find it, to save me a trip back, and if he didn't find it, no sweat. Moments later he returned with the Joni set in his hands. I haven't listened to it much yet...but the demo of "Good Friends" is ALMOST worth the price of the set. Just Joni and her piano, with slightly different lyrics, and a great interpretation of the song. The piano reminds me a bit of Laura Nyro, and yet Joni's piano style is definitely her own, and very attractive to my ears, as is Nyro's. The song gave me that same grin that I used to get when I'd listen to one of Joni's new albums for the first time. It was almost an involuntarily laugh as a result of being astounded at something that could be so good. As I believe Jim may have mentioned, the booklet in the set is not well-made, and it looks to me like it will crack if you open it too widely (and probably will) so it's a fragile piece, and somewhat impractical if you really want to read it! (Since so easily damaged, probably a collector's piece some years from now ;-) ) I haven't listened to the "Baby Blue" or "Two Grey Rooms" demos yet...trying to savor one at a time. Best regards, Gary np: Beth Neilsen Chapman - Hymns Has this been discussed before? Interesting CD of Catholic Hymns sung in Latin, including "Tantum Ergo" "O Sanctissima" "Panis Angelicus" and "Ave Maria." Beth has some nice harmony vocals as well. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2005 21:21:00 -0800 (PST) From: Nuriel Tobias Subject: Re: You've Reached The Wrong Number re-enjoy if you can...:) Nuriel Tobias wrote:One day the phone rings at Joni's living room.

I'm tired of this squabbling. It does not bring me peace. I've been on this list since early 1999, have attended paz fest and five jonifests, and immortalized them in the song, Parsonage Lane, written on Sept 10, 2001. But maybe its time to move on.

Since my motherboard flaked out repeatedly last year, it scrambled the operatiing system and my address book over and over again. Anyway, I don't have Cindy's email address right now and this "thank you" is overdue. Cindy, thanks for the coffee mug. It has a place of honor on my desk at work, under the JoniFest posters by Claud9 (2003) and Jennie (2004). I guess I have a JMDL shrine going at my desk. You lifted my mood during the "long, cold, lonely winter". So, thanks. Although I'm a coffee fiend, you'll be relieved to know that the mug has never been sullied. I'm preserving the collectable's value for my heirs. :) Lama ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 02 Feb 2005 08:14:34 +0100 From: "Wallykai" Subject: Delivery service mail Before use read the help [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had a name of Jol03.com] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 02 Feb 2005 08:14:37 +0100 From: "FredNow" Subject: You are made active Before use read the help [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had a name of viupd02.com] ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2005 #47 **************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
