Danny Boy

With no money in the bank, we've been eating oatmeal and cheese sandwiches all week, but it hasn’t been as boring as you might think. I start the day by cooking Danny Boy steel cut oatmeal  topped with a pastured poached egg. Mixing the yolk into the still hot oatmeal makes it even richer and creamier.




Pass a Minute or Two with Deanna Durbin!

'DANNY BOY'




About the Video:

Here is a scene from 'Because of Him' (1945). Deanna Durbin, a stage-struck waitress who tricks a famous actor, played by Charles Laughton, into giving her his autograph without him knowing he's signing a 'Letter of Introduction'. Using this letter, she fools people into believing Laughton wants her as his leading lady in his next play. He soon rumbles her little scheme however and, finding her lacking in any acting experience, tells her she'll be ready to appear on the stage in a few years time. While he phones for a cab to take her home, Deanna breaks into song with "Danny Boy," causing Laughton to relent and make her his leading lady after all. This was their second film together, their first having been "It Started with Eve" in 1941.
