Chop Suey Day

Chop Suey was invented in America (basically stirfrying anything available)

As Chinese food goes, chop suey is pretty pedestrian. One origin story has it invented in New York on August 29, 1896. Other cities (San Francisco) dispute that with hungry gold miners being fed scraps from other people's plates by a tired cook wanting to go home.

But like the origin legends of caesar salad and buffalo wings (being thought up on a whim by frugal cooks) it did manage to have a cultural impact.  I love dishes that manage to taste good, while using up what is in the fridge. I just like stir fry with some hot pepper and a bit more bite than traditonal chop suey. I am not a fan of so much sugar in it--although some sweet and sour is fundamentally part of this dish.

Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, and Peggy Lee: I'm glad we're not young anymore

Getting closer to Sinatra's 100th Birthday (so let's count it down with the 12 days of Sinatra)…

Let's add this one from High Society (even if it doesn't have Peggy Lee in it): 

Then there is this: Peggy Lee, with Nelson Riddle and Frank Sinatra conducting:

Mark Steyn has On Stage with Sinatra: A conversation with Vincent Falcone, Jr, Mark has Malneck and Mercer's Goody Goody at #89, Sony Bono's Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) at #88. Where are you working next week? Mark's Movie Audio Special is High Society.

Pundette breaks her top 10 with Riddle's arrangement of Porter's I Get A Kick Out Of You at #8.

Bob Belvedere is counting down Sinatra albums with Jenkin's Wonderfully Depressing No One Cares at #2.

Hallelujah! I am sure doing that gives one good luck!

I had the 12 Days of Sinatra and Rosemary Clooney and Sinatra.

Frank Sinatra and Rosemary Clooney (with some bonus Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby)

With Sinatra singing Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! why not some South Pacific?  It's in 1963 with a Nelson Riddle orchestration and Rosemary Clooney from The Reprise Musical Repertory Theatre album.

Here is Sinatra singing Some Enchanted Evening in 1949.  Axel Stordahl arranged.

Here is a song Frank Sinatra co-wrote and then recorded with Rosemary Clooney in 1950. It was originally intended to be done with Dinah Shore, but she declined.  The arranger is George Siravo. Rosemary does a fine job, but this song would have worked with Doris Day.

And here is the 1957 CBS's The Edsel Show with Guest Stars (even these terrific talents could not save the Edsel).  Which include are some of the stars from the 1956 Cole Porter adaption of The Philadelphia Story, High Society (minus Grace Kelly).

Mark Steyn has On Stage with Sinatra: A conversation with Vincent Falcone, Jr, Mark has New York, New York at #87 and George Harrison's Something at #86. Mark's Song of the Century #85 is Sondheim's Send In The Clowns, Song #84 (and by coincidence given the attrocious recent events in France) is the originally French song My Way, and at #83 he has Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein's Some Enchanted Evening. For Labor Day Mark had Kern and Hammerstein's Ol Man River (as part of a waterfront labor theme). Mark Steyn has Rodgers and Hammerstein's Soliloquy has Song of the Century #41.  And Mark's Movie Audio Special is High Society.

Mark's Thanksgiving Sampler includes how he loves the song Oklahoma! (which Sinatra, to my knowledge, did not record). Here is an Oklahoma! Thanksgiving. 

Pundette breaks her top 10 with You Go To My Head at #9 and One Of Those Things at #10. She has #11 Cole Porter's I Concentrate On You, at #12 Porter's You'd Be Nice To Come Home To, as her #13 Cole Porter's What Is This Thing Called Love. Pundette also has a Cole Porter favorite written by Jule Styne, Betty Comden and Adolph Green Just In Time at #16.

Bob Belvedere is counting down Sinatra albums with Billy May arranged Come Dance With Me at #3, Gordon Jenkins arranged All Alone at #4, Swing Easy at #5 and an interview with Chuck Granata. Bob had Kern and Hammerstein's The Song Is You on his song list (tied at #20).

I remembered Johnny Mercer's birthday (thanks to a tip from Pundette). And here is a sublime song from the forties Kern and Hammerstein's All The Things You Are. I had Frank Sinatra and the President's Marine Corps Band doing You Make Me Feel So Young (and also had a bonus Betty Comden Adolph Green number from On The Town), I had Angie Dickinson's favorite Lean Baby, VanHeusen and Burke's Here's That Rainy Day, Sinatra Lord's Prayer/Ave Maria post, Berlin's When I Lost You, Arlen and Capote's Don't Like Goodbyes, and Gaudio and Holmes' For A While. And here is Frank in 1945 singing from Kern and Hammerstein's Show Boat (among other great songs) and Rodgers and Hammerstein's Soliloquy (Mark featured it at #41 on his list for Father's Day). I also had Cole Porter favorite Irène Bordoni who was the star of Porter's first big hit Paris.

And Happy Thanksgiving.
