Jackie thought she heard a creeper so she called Dan. Fred is jealous. Fred and Jackie do not have a good time at things. They seem to always be in a tiff.
Fred confronts Dan about Jackie having a crush on him. And Fred punches Dan.
Jackie says she's stuck in a dead end job...she's coowner of a restaurant. How is that dead end.? Other than the fact she has no health insurance.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 24: Isn't it Romantic?
Jackie is mad because Fred asked to move in rather than to get married.
Roseanne tells Fred to shave his goatee. Nooooo men with goatees are awesomesauce.
Aww. Darlene is nervous to hold baby Andy.
David said its a woman's obligation to have babies. I love how feminist this show is that this is a debate.
Fred no beard! Will you marry me? And he's trying really hard to be romantic. It's so cute and a little awkward.
And now we are in a weird tv dream sequence with Roseanne.
Dan is now trying to be romantic with wine, fire, and a dirty VHS rental. Fail.
I like the sexism competition between Becky/mark Darlene/David. As it relates to parenting and bringing in the $.
Dan buys Roseanne a dishwasher to be romantic. So cute. It's the kind we used to have that hooks up to the sink and wheels out of the way
Jackie accepted Fred's romantic proposal. Hooray. Except that they're going to get divorced, which is sad. I like Fred. Maybe it'll work out this time.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 21: Lies my Father told me
Dan tries to blame his dad for his mom's mental health. He is also not ready to use humor to diffuse the situation.
I like Darlene and David's DJ trick to make him think he's crazy.
Ohh, Dan's drunk and going crazy at his Dad's. And Lonny tries to stand up to him.
Dan's Dad REAAAALLLLLY doesn't want to talk about it.

Dan's Dad isn't paying alimony, so Dan has to give his mom $400. But Roseanne is worried she's going to do something loopy with it.
Jackie has a new short bob. Seems like lots of new mama's opt for shorter hair.
Dan is a good feminist.
Dan's mom is cray cray. Dan had to take her to the looney bin.
And since of course they don't talk about things like mental health, it's even harder.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 19: Labor Day
Jackie is 3 days late to deliver:
"I have a 3 day old child inside of me!" - Jackie
She is gigantic. And now has a outie nipple looking belly button.
Dan advises Fred to wear a cup in the delivery room.
Jackie's water broke. And now Roseanne took her to her house to grab crosswords and a bag of stuff for the hospital.
No insurance, just a public aid medical card. They want to send her to county. But she's having one of them emergency births.
Has Laurie Metcalf already given birth? Her stomach no longer looks ginormous.
They can't find Fred! Where'd he go? How far would he really be when he know's Jackie is about to pop? How did people do this before cell phones.
"Jackie, you haven't shaved your legs. My god, the baby's liable to be born with rugburn. " - Bev
There's Fred! Whew. Being the manly man. Demanding that they both stay in the room. And promptly passing out.
Are we really seeing the birth from the babies perspective? Yes we are.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 18: Don't ask, Don't tell
Nancy's dating Sharon, and they are all going to go dancin'.
The return of Dean! Becky's ex. But he's here to take Darlene to school ooOOOoooo.
They make gay bars look way more fun than they actually are. I love how uncomfortable Jackie is about being there. And they can actually hear each other talk.
Sharon kissed Roseanne! And Roseanne is befuddled! She tries to talk to Nancy, who thinks is no big deal. Is it not a concern that Roseanne is married? Regardless of being straight or gay, isn't there a presumed monogamy knowing that she's married?
Jackie thinks that it's not reasonable that Roseanne is freaked out on Dan's behalf. But, spouse kissing another person... bad.
Now Dan is befuddled. And slightly turned on :)

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 17: Don't make room for daddy
Jackie's first ultrasound! Even though she's GIANT.
Crazed Jackie is crazed! Fred is suing for custody.
And we get to see the Garage break room.
I enjoy the dynamic of watching Mark & DJ vs David.
Roseanne and Dan are both bad at pretending when they don't know things.
This is an interesting gendered debate.
The womenz think that since Jackie is growing the baby, that she should have complete control of the baby.
The menz think that since they are the biological fathers that they should get rights to the baby.
David is the tie breaker.
"all guys are jealous. because we all really want to have babies, but we can't." - David
That is apparently the magical get out of jail with girls card.
Jackie and Fred are back together!

Dan catching them making out in the basement. Whew. Intense.
Yay, David is coming home! And David is being super awkward, I love it. "When we're having our... tenderness"

Scared David is scared.
Dan punched a hole in the wall!
I love when David thinks Jackie is coming on to her. Hilarious.
Obvious attempts to guilt Dan into changing his mind about David.
So far David is still at Jackie's.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 14: Busted
Trouble living with your boyfriend as a teenager? Who'da thunk. I'm still amazed that David just dropped out of school essentially.
And trouble with marriage when you're still teenagery and eloped at 17. Mark doesn't want to come back.

Dan is making grilled cheese for dinner.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 13: Suck up or Shut up
Is this a new theme song, or am I just not used to the one this season yet?
Carol Brady!
What I've gathered from the episode so far is that networking is about telling really lame jokes and pretending to think that other people's lame jokes are funny.
Mark isn't going to school, he's drinking at the Lobo! That ho.
Elijah, man, that's a bad name for a kid. No wonder he's a weirdo.
I really want the lamp that the Conner's have in their living room.
And there's a cameo by some soap opera stars I don't know. Apparently Dan doesn't know them either. Luke and Laura. I prefer Luke and Lorelai.

Roseanne: Season 6, Episode 12: White Trash Christmas
Roseanne and Dan can afford to send Becky to community college! It's scary that they couldn't pay for community college before...
The neighborhood association wants them to not put up horrible decorations. So of course, they are going to put up even more tacky horrible decorations. Love it.
"Why can't either of you take me seriously?" - Becky
"Because you have words on your butt!" - Roseanne
Male bonding on the roof.
Yess, beer can wreath. So festive! And barking dogs singing Jingle Bells.

David says he wants to go to Michigan to live with his mom. But he's secretly going to go live with Darlene. OoooooooOOO. I had forgotten that he's still in high school at the time, so he's essentially dropping out of high school to live with Darlene and bum around. Cray cray

"Thanks dad, you're the best. Sorry bout those teen years. " -Darlene
New opening! No more pizza now it's Chinese!
I don't blame Roseanne for wanting to take Darlene to college. I'd want to know were my kid was staying.
Woah David wants to get engaged. Darlene thinks its stupid. Or David's just being whiny and manipulating.
Darlene has white tennis shoes this year. I guess she's officially out of the goth dark teenager phase. Except she's still acting super Emo.
It's funny that she appears to be staying in a crap apt rather than a dorm.
I heart mommy and Darlene bonding sleep over.

I feel like we haven't seen becky in forever.
Prom fever. I love it. And Darlene's going! Woo early 90s fashion! David and Darlene are going to have sexy times!
Nancy's onesie brown leopard print outfit is ridiculous.
Onos, David can't get it up. I think they're doing it wrong, they both still have all their clothes on. Tv always makes it look like you go from kissing to intercourse with nothing in between. Aww David couldn't do it.
They bought a depressed property. For $5k? Or a share of it for $5k I guess.

Roseanne: Season 5, Episode 19: It's a Boy!
Another awesome episode. The scene with Roseanne and David's Mom is so powerful. I feel like it gives hope to the world that Roseanne saw what their home life was like, and took David out of it.
And it still has great funniness. Dan and DJ talking about the power of testosterone in the house. And Dan and Roseanne giving David the house rules. I love it. Makes me so happy.

Roseanne: Season 5, Episode 16: Wait Til your Father Gets Home
This is the episode where Roseanne & Jackie's Dad dies. This is the first time I've watched it since my dad died. And in the spirit of dead dad's I just went to a memorial service for a coworker's father.
I was interested to see how I reacted, because often when there are plot lines about dead family, especially dads, I get super weepy, but this time not so much.
I really enjoyed the overly empathetic funeral home director. I had a really similar experience at the funeral home we used for my dad. They were really froofy and tried to oversell us things based on our vulnerability.
I also liked how Darlene said that she felt bad for not feeling bad enough. But she had cramps :)
It was nice to see that death didn't wash away all of the bad things their dad did, but it still helped Roseanne to let them go. I'm lucky in that most of the relationship I had with my dad was really good, but I still know what that forgiveness in death feels like.
OK, so now I'm getting teary. Jesus.
I'll end with this - I burned my finger on hot olive oil tonight, and while watching this show, I was trying to use a frozen ketchup packet to take some of the sting off.
I was interested to see how I reacted, because often when there are plot lines about dead family, especially dads, I get super weepy, but this time not so much.
I really enjoyed the overly empathetic funeral home director. I had a really similar experience at the funeral home we used for my dad. They were really froofy and tried to oversell us things based on our vulnerability.
I also liked how Darlene said that she felt bad for not feeling bad enough. But she had cramps :)

Roseanne: Season 5, Episodes Home for the Holidays - Lanford Daze
I've been watching Roseanne on youtube on my iPhone while curled up in bed. It's pretty amazing.
So I have spotty thoughts on these excellent episodes.
I totally forgot David has 2 younger sisters. I feel like the scene with them got cut out of the syndicated version
Darlene looks much older than the last few eps
I also forgot Charlotte worked at the diner
Woah. Hello fishers temper yo. Foreshadowing!
And Darlene writes twisted comics. "Warped and depressing is what's cool now!" -Roseanne
Oooooh this is the episode! I forgot the subplot. This is a really intense one. We find out that Fisher is beating Jackie. And Jackie tries to apologize for his actions. And then Dan beats the crap out of Fisher.
"Oh my god, Dan. You didn't kill him and then go buy chicken, didja?" -Roseanne
Bail is $100
Darlene has to bail out her dad. Priceless.
Crime and Punishment is such a good episode. I get teary whenever I see it. Very real.
I like the small town everybody knows what's going on, but no one knows the details do they invent them
Amy Sherman is the producer for Roseanne and also didGilmore girls. Apparently now she's doing Bunheads. I feel like maybe I should watch that...

Roseanne: Season 5, Episode 11: Of Ice and Men
I think I have about 50 episodes or Roseanne on my DVR. It's great.
It's the beginning of the end with Fisher.
Jackie broke up with Fisher because he's too young. He's 25, she's 37. Yeah, that's a big gap. But it's half plus 7, so it's ok. Except that he beats her. But we don't know that yet. She has been holding her jacket funny whenever we see her come in. Maybe cause it's just cold outside. But maybe it's because she's protecting herself since he's beating her.

Becky and Mark in bed. Ohh baby.
I love Charlotte, she's so shy and cute. And now she's making meatloaf for the family.

I love how amorous Dan and Roseanne can be.
Molly the ho! She wants to go get high and make out in a boy's van. Darlene wants to not get high and just go home.
Now it's 4am and she's still not home!
Give her hell, Roseanne!

Darlene's 16th birthday.
Molly the neighbor! The dirty whore! With the perky hair.
Dan tries the loose meat sammich that is to be their destiny.
Darlene's dying her hair.
I love that they are playing Truth or Dare with the girls. And that Roseanne runs around topless, and runs into the new neighbor. Hilarity. I hope I do that sort of ridiculousness when I'm 40.
I also love that Roseanne talks at Dan when he's trying to sleep. I do that to Jim all the time. Although I don't normally talk myself into opening my own restaurant.

Yay DVRed episodes!
Oh noes, no power all weekend :(
David and Darlene are working on their comic, and David wants boobies and sleaze.
I love that Darlene is kind of prudish with David.
I love this episode. And this scene. When Roseanne finds out David spends the night, then Darlene says that she can hear them having sex, and had to tell David they were moving furniture. It's just fantastic and funny, and real.
I even love how Dan really doesn't want to talk to Becky, because it's such a real Dad/Daughter dynamic.

Got to see Jackie act in community theater, with her faux wooden leg and one line. Woo!
This is kind of a painful episode. To see Jackie freak out about not learning the lines to the play is painful, and to see her perform is worse.
Dan being sick and whiny is funny tho. I might do that a little :)

Roseanne is trying to hook up Crystal with a guy from the mall. But she's already hooking up with Dan's Dad! Trouble! Quick switch! Now hook up Jackie!
Ed and Crystal are engaged! They've dated for just over a year. He's 20 years older. Crazytowns.
Roseanne: Season 3, Episode 12: Confessions
I love how Bev's character is written. She is such the passive aggressive, backhanded complimenting obnoxious old lady. Like when she talks about other people while they're in the room instead of talking to them. My grandma would do that all the time.
Roseanne: Season 3, Episode 11: Do you know where your parents are?
"Lady, you have an evil mind" -Dan
"And a body to match" -Roseanne
I heart when Dan and Roseanne relive their youth. They are cute.

Roseanne: Season 3, Episode 10: Dream Lover
Wednesday is sex day! But there's none to be had!
Crystal has sex dreams about Pat Sayjack. "He's a very tender lover, with a virile and wiry body."
hehehee
Roseanne and Dan having an awkward conversation about their sexual desires. And Dan keeps trying to hide inside his sweatshirt. It's super cute.

Roseanne: Season 3, Episode 9: Bird is the Word
Becky's principal is Captain Cragen from Law and Order SVU. And he's already bald. And strangely cheerful. And on a power trip.
"She's 16, she gets good grades, she's not pregnant, I'd say that's damn near perfect" - Roseanne about Becky.

Roseanne: Season 3, Episode 8: PMS, I love you
This episode annoys me a little bit because it's all about how Roseanne is totally horrible once a month on her period. And then she acts completely ridiculous, and drives everybody nuts. But it's so clearly a silly plot device.
Dan's 39th birthday.
Dan's 39th birthday.
Roseanne: Season 3, Episode 7: Trick or Treat
Happy Halloween!
Jackie is wearing a sad kitty costume.
DJ is a witch - not a warlock... much to his father's dismay
Becky is a prom queen, half prettified, have bloodified.
Dan is all 3 stooges, with one head on each shoulder.
Darlene has an alien poking out of her stomach.
Roseanne is a dude, trucker outdoorsey kind of dude. Very convincing :)
Crystal ordered a Pink Squirrel at the Lobo. Nice.

Roseanne: Season 3, Episode 6: Becky, Beds and Boys
"His name is Mark Healy and we're going to a party"
It's Mark. The man who will steal Becky away, and turn her into another Backy.
And here he is smoking a cigarette, chewing gum, wearing a leather jacket and ripped jeans. Teenage dreamboat.
"Hey Mark, 2 + 2" -Darlene
"What? " - Mark
"I thought so" - Darlene
Ahh, the start of their wonderful relationship too.
Dan ran into Mark at the Lobo drinking beer. And he's an ass. Much like in the future when Dan and Roseanne pay for Mark to go to school, and he flakes out and Dan finds him at the Lobo.
"You think you can stop me from seeing Becky? " - Mark
"I think I can stop you from seeing tomorrow?" - Dan
False.
"I want to go over to his house and beat the hell out of his mother." - Roseanne
She is a bitch, instead you can just faux-adopt her other son.
"I'm never going to see him again, ever." - Becky re: Mark
False.
I love this show.

Roseanne: Season 3, Episode 5: Good-Bye, Mr. Right
Hehe, Jackie tackled a naked guy and fell down a flight of steps and hurt her back. Herniated disk. Eww.
Gary's freaking out because Jackie has a dangerous job.
I love Darlene and Becky finding DJs box of doll heads.
And Gary freaking out again. Good-bye Gary. :( Good-bye police job :(

Roseanne: Season 3, Episode 4: Like, A new job
Roseanne got a job at Rodbells! Apparently a waitress job in a crazy uniform is better than being the hair wash girl at the salon.
Alyson Hannigan! She's one of Becky's friends who goes to the restaurant where Roseanne is working.
And Roseanne's going down to the basement because she doesn't want to live with Becky. The first of many basement dwellers. Well, maybe not, I guess it's usually just David.

Roseanne: Season 3, Episode 3: Like a Virgin
Yay! My DVDs of season 3 and 4 have come in the mail. I'm now icing my back after yoga and ready for some quality TV time.
"You're just jealous because I'm anatomically correct." - Becky to Darlene
Becky has totally awesome 1990's style.
Roseanne and Jackie are giving Becky the sex talk. And Jackie is talking about using the sponge as birth control. Is that still around? Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode about Elaine trying to find the sponge? Planned Parenthood thinks it's still available.
And now Darlene is kissing some boy named Brian. In the dark. Lying down! Dirty!
This is the episode where Roseanne talks about shooting hoopies - aka shooting hoops

I have now pre-ordered these, and should be receiving them on 4/3 thanks to Amazon Prime (thanks Vasily).
Roseanne Season 5 is still available new for $147.89.... so I guess I'll have to wait a while on that. 2 more seasons to tide me over!
Saturday, February 04, 2012

WTF?
I'm going to have to take a break from this and consider my options...
Roseanne interrupted
Today is a sad day. I was all prepared to sit on the couch, crochet me some fingerless gloves, and watch several hours of Roseanne. But netflix on demand decided not to have it anymore :(
So now I have to go purchase the DVDs.
Booooooooo.

Roseanne: Season 3, Episode 2: Friends & Relatives
They just got a microwave!
And Roseanne used it to make a meatloaf in 12 minutes. Mmmm.
And it's Arnie! And now he's living with Nancy... who I don't think we've heard of before. He was dating some other chick last season we hadn't seen before. And they're getting married.
And Dan's lending him money, $1500... for an "engagement ring." but really it was a breast augmentation. Dan and Roseanne currently own one of Nancy's boobs.
Roseanne: End of Season 2, and start of Season 3
So I promised to watch all the episodes in 2012, not necessarily live blog them. So I watched Fathers and Daughters and Happy Birthday.
And they were great. Roseanne got her writing room in the basement. And other things happened that were great, but I don't remember because now I'm watching the next episode. I guess that's why liveblogging is so useful :)
Roseanne is taking an at home pregnancy test. With all her friends. And her entirely family.
And Jackie said that Roseanne could get an abortion. Talking about abortion! On the TV! In 1990.
And she's not pregnant...yet :)
Saturday, January 14, 2012
Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 22: April Fool's Day
It's tax day! Is this how people did taxes before Turbo tax was invented? By hand and with calculators? Yeah, that does look stressful.
"Your Dad and I made enough money last year to live very well - for 6 months. and then we juggled. " - Roseanne
Oh god, the scary (cheesy) audit noise.
Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 21: Fender Bender
Ah, Meg Wellman hits Roseanne with a car.
I like spacey Roseanne. It's Stephen Root as an attorney! (Milton from Office Space.)
"You know, if I wanted to, I could give you a summons. " -Jackie
"Well, if I wanted to, I could give you a makeover!" -Crystal
I like Jackie trying to act like a badass cop.
Sunday, January 08, 2012
Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 20: To Tell the Truth
Wow, Crystal has an awesome whale sweater.
Gary has poor timing. Jackie is running out the door and Gary hollers: "Let's get married!"
Jackie has such a typical chick complex.
I love Roseanne and Jackie walking through Jackie's wedding in the living room. Since in several seasons, Jackie will get married to Fred in that living room.
Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 19: All of Me
More stupid looking headbands on Roseanne.
Ohh, Jackie's new boyfriend - Gary.
Gary and Dan are having guy talk. I kind of doubt men actually have conversations like this.
Aww, Jackie is a pushover in her relationship, and just goes along with whatever Gary wants so that he likes her. That really is such a chick thing. And just like in the show, it is poo for functional relationships. "He lets me let him make all the decisions." "He should know, I shouldn't have to tell him that." - Jackie
If I was Roseanne, I'd totally smack Jackie around, too.
Ah the triumph of sex over communication.
Saturday, January 07, 2012
Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 18: I'm hungry
Diet time!
No more fried food? But this is the midwest! Tonight hey appear to be having Chicken nuggets and caesar salad for dinner, with diet coke, oh and white bread.
I love the kitchen phone with the extra long cord. We had one in our kitchen too.
That's some kind of a headband, Roseanne.
I agree, diets do suck. I want to tell her that she needs to eat healthy, and still eat good, rather than try to just not eat anything. Cause that no workie. Hence the angry eating! Raar!
Oh god, sports analogies. I don't even know what a mallomar is.
Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 16: Hair
Somehow I think this episode is slightly less upbeat than the Lady Gaga song Hair.
One of the things I've noticed recently about Roseanne is how much she and Dan and Jackie spend discussing high school 20 years ago. It's very much the high school was the best part of our lives sort of style. Which is very much not Kayte/Jim style.
Oh, it's where Roseanne gets a job at the beauty shop. i liked this job. Roseanne really doesn't want to take the job because it's so crap, but it actually seems like a pretty good job. The ladies are all nice, it's pretty low pressure.
Oh, and Meg Wellman! Of the Wellman factory, who thinks Roseanne is Roxanne. And Roseanne gets to be slightly bitchy to her, which is awesome too. And they all like her. And she just got a promotion to shampoo girl! Or... shampoo woman.
Oh, and cute Dan looking uncomfortable in the salon. That's awesome.
"You know, if you cut your hair shorter in the front, and let it grow a little in the back, it will make your neck look longer." - Hair girl to Dan advocating the mullet.
Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 16: Born to be wild
Ziggy! Dan and Roseanne's hardcore friend. And Becky likes his motorcycle.
And Jackie just alluded to loosing her virginity to Ziggy. So she's always liked the bad guys.
Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 15: An officer and a gentleman
Jackie is playing homemaker while Roseanne is dealing with Dad with broken hip.
And for some reason applesauce is the preferred accompaniment to pot roast. Pork chops would make sense, but pot roast?
I love Dan and Jackie bonding. And Dan telling Jackie she should stop dating crappy guys.
Now Jackie needs a cute happy family. Too bad she never quite gets there :P

Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 14: One for the Road
"I know, it's really hard to concentrate on one thing at a time." -Becky I tooootally agree.
Oh god, Becky and her friend are one upping each other, and trying to look cool by saying that they drink.
Darlene is taking care of drunk passed out Becky. Just like she took care of drunk passed out Jackie!
I have no idea what th blank and white clip durin ghte credits is supposed to be...

Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 13: Chicken Hearts
It would suck to work in fast food with a bunch of kids.
Crystal and Jackie are doing great with their jobs, and poor Roseanne still has crap job.
Douchy teenagers with mustangs. Just like Danville, except that he didn't get it as a 16th birthday present.
And douchy teenager fired Roseanne. bye bye fast food.
Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 12: No talking
Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, overcooked green beans, white bread, and milk for dinner. Mmm, midwest gourmet.
And Becky has attitude...oh snap. super attitude. And Darlene is being nice and reasonable. It's so upside down.
Becky wants to show that Roseanne can't control her. Roseanne just wants to know what the hell is going on.
and it's over. ok then.
Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 11: Lobo Cop
I just finished World War Z, and Lobo was the name of a weapon (lobotomizer) used to kill zombies. In Roseanne, it's the local bar.
Oh, and apparently Roseanne is working at the fast food place and the Lobo. yuck.
I love that Roseanne throws out one of her married friends who's flirting with random chick. It's inconvenient trying to flirt with people since there's only one bar in town, and everyone can see who you're flirting with.
Roseanne grumpy with husband tries to wake her up = Kayte.
Sad, working to0 hard = stress on married life = no sex :(
I love Dan and Roseanne flirting in the bar. They so damn cute.
Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 10: Brain-Dead Poets' Society
I agreee, Darlene. Poetry is lame-sauce. Although I'm not going to grow up to be a writer, and go to fancy school in Chicago for creative writing, and get a job as an ... editor... copywriter? Something, I don't remember.
I'd forgotten how long Becky dated Jimmy Meltrigger.
I love that they know they are going to screw up their kids one way or the other.
Ah, the school orchestra is playing at culture night. Cute. And random dorky Martin kid.
Aww, and Darlene has touching poem about being an akward kid. I love it.
And more bad orchestra playing. So bad. Although maybe if the conductor actually knew how to keep time, that would help.

Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 9: We Gather Together
I was going to be done with Roseanne for the evening, but I couldn't end on such a lame sauce episode. So now it's Thanksgiving!
Roseanne's starting the turkey at 5:30am. Thanksgiving error, that's going to be some dry dry turkey. I say this because Jim and I (and Vasily and Joyce) are the turkey masters. HERE is how to do thanksgiving turkey.
Also, I love cranberry sauce in a can, yum.
Dan leaves to go play football. Manly.
There's Grandma Bev and Grandpa Al. Ooh, and Bev is already talking to Roseanne about Jackie.
Bev thinks you need to baste every 30 minutes. Also false. See recipe above.
And Crystal and Grandpa Ed show up together. Ooooh.
And Dan's mom is there too! Audrey, with her date - Jay Bryant. It's neat to see her, since later they talk about how she's coo coo, and going to an institution...
And now Jackie's crying at the dinner table and Bev is freaking out. Good times.
Aww Becky's boyfriend Jimmy is at dinner too. But at the kids table. So no drama to be seen.
"How can you even talk about food? "
"Because I don't feel like talking about sex, and what else is there?" -Roseanne
Ed coming up with excuses to go see Crystal. Dan asks him to leave her alone, but no dice.
So true!
Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 8: Sweet Dreams
Oh, it's one of the really nutty Roseanne episodes. I had forgotten they had one so early on in the season. I mean, the whole last season is completely ridiculous, as are a few other scattered episodes, but this is the first.
Roseanne wants a batch all to herself, and dreams/hallucinates a crazy spa fantasy with hunky men attending to her every whim, but with the normal every day craziness constantly seeping in. She actually kills her children and Dan so they leave her alone. Oh, but then she gets put on trial for killing them all.
Aww, it's fantasy Crystal saying how amazing Dan is, and how she loves him. I guess she can always go for his dad.
And now Dan is singing about his love for Roseanne....and dancing. I love campy and silly, but I'm pretty ready for this episode to be done. It's just so obviously a dream and has no point whatsoever.
Random fact: 3/15/1975: Becky's birthday - well, it was said in the dream. I assume it's legit.
Oh look, she woke up and is going to go take a bath now. The end.
2011 Goals
So obviously my 2012 goal is to watch every episode of Roseanne in order. But by 2011 goal was 2 part: To learn to do a hand stand, and to use every kitchen gadget I had.
For the handstand, I'm pretty good: I can kick up to a handstand against a wall easily, and I can balance on just my hands for a couple of seconds without tipping. I'm still working to increase the time I can spend balancing, but I'm pretty happy with it.
For my kitchen appliances, I made a list at the beggining of 2011 of all of the tools I was going to use, and crossed each one off. Here is the list, and my attempt at remembering what I did with all of them:
- Deep Fryer - Used this on Christmas Eve to make tempura. It was delicious.
- Rice Cooker - Used this several times during the year to make...rice.
- Fondue Pot - This was one of the last things ones I crossed off my list just before 2012. I had to really plan to use it. So I made an Italian Fonduta with Roasted Red Peppers (Rachael Ray's recipe) and fed the hubs and housemates.
- Pasta Maker - Used this for Vasily's birthday to roll out chocolate for a super fancy Bon Appetit Chocolate cake recipe
- Creme Brulee Torch - Used for actual creme brulee, pumpkin creme brulee, and on brown sugar on baked oatmeal and bananas. Yum.
- Bread Machine - Made bread. I think 2 weeks in a row, thought how easy and amazing it was, and then never used it again.
- Immersion Blender - Made a soup with leeks and chard from the garden
- Coffee Pot - Made a flourless chocolate cake that called for strong coffee, and made a cup. I don't drink coffee, so this usually only comes out when my mom visits, but I don't think she used it this year. I made the flourless cake recipe for Matt & Tina's baby shower, but used decaf coffee since pregnant ladies aren't supposed to be caffinated.
- Waffle Iron - This was another one I really had to plan for. I made brinner for Jim and I and found a Rachel Ray recipe for Sour Cream and Chive waffles.
- Food Processor - Used this many times over the year. For varies recipes, and to just chop up stuff.
- George Forman Grill - Pulled this out to grill a hot dog. I also had to really plan to use this. I think between my outdoor grill, and indoor grill pan, the only time I'd really ever use a George was if for some reason I didn't have access to either of these things. It's a really good dorm room tool, but in real life, I think it may have a new home soon.
- Kitchen Aid - I love my kitchen aid! I made whipped cream in it several times, and mixed a few baking recipes.
- Kitchen Aid Food Grinder Attachment - This was the last one for me to use. Because really, how often do I need to grind my own food? We had a bunch of Omaha steaks that had defrosted and needed to be eaten, so I made my own ground beef, and made meatballs. (Also a Rachael Ray recipe). The bits were really hard to clean, and when I pulled them out of the dishwasher found that the dishwasher had successfully cooked the stuck on meat. Eww.
- Kitchen Aid Fruit/Veggie Strainer - Decided to make an Alton Brown creamsicle drink recipe, and juiced a few oranges. Not very creative, but it crossed it off the list.
- Juicer - Don't remember what I juiced. Probably fruit, as the idea of veggie juice is weird.
- Ice Cream Maker - Ice Cream! I love homemade icecream! Made several flavors.
- Crock Pot - At some party we had weenies in sauce in the crock pot for a party. For New Years, we also made really tasty Miso soup, and left it in the crock pot to stay warm.
- Blender - This was another one I had to really consciously figure out what to do with. You'd think it's a common one, but I don't really make smoothies or milkshakes, and everything else works better in a food processor. I made the creamsicle drink after juicing the above oranges.
- Hand Mixer - Box cake mix.
- Salad Spinner - I spun salad. Several times. whirrr.
So there you have it. I love kitchen toys, but it surprised me how much of an effort I really had to make to use them. I really went a whole year without spontaneously needing a smoothie or homemade waffles, and had to plan to make them.
Note: I tried to find links to many of the recipes I used, but some of the recipes that are in cookbooks aren't on the internet. Apparently this is why it is good that I have a sizable collection of cookbooks.
Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 7: Boo!
Yay, the first Roseanne Halloween episode! Roseanne has awesome Halloween episodes. It's also one of my favorite holidays.
I love all the little pranks they play back and forth on each other, and the general silliness. Dan pretending to cut himself was the best.
And this year they are having a haunted house!
Halloween Costumes:
Roseanne: Wicked Witch of the Midwest
DJ: Ninja
Darlene: Shot up and stabbed person
Crystal: Glinda, the good witch of the north
Lonnie: Pirate (a sad pirate, because it's before pirates are cool)
Becky: Flight attenant post-grotesque-accident.
Dan: Mad Scientisty dude
Jackie: Head on a platter
Becky says she hates Halloween. Silly teenager being too cool for school.
Roseanne: Season 2, Episode 6: Five of a kind
First episode with Tom Arnold! Mullet city! And he's dating some broad named Sharon.
And there's Jackie, in her cop uniform. Looking all official like.
Stomp into the Beverly Hillbillies song at the poker game. Teehee.
