Daily Holidays - November 18

[Sherman A1]

National Vichyssoise Day November 18 observes a cold soup that is loved by many. It is National Vichyssoise Day.
Made thick with pureed leeks, onions, potatoes, cream and chicken stock and traditionally served cold, Vichyssoise is sometimes eaten hot. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/

Mickey Mouse Day Mickey Mouse is a funny animal cartoon character and the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company. He was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studios in 1928. An anthropomorphic mouse who typically wears red shorts, large yellow shoes, and white gloves, Mickey has become one of the most recognizable cartoon characters in the world.http://nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/

1. Susan Sullivan and Linda Evans

Both have birthdays today, and both are 73. Both were Primetime Soap divas back in the day.

2. I remember Linda Evans

from the Big Valley, which probably shows my age a bit.

3. She was also on Dynasty back in the 80s

And Sullivan was on Falcon Crest

4. I recall that as well, however

I only watched those as I passed through the room while my "Charming Ex-Wife" was engrossed in them.

5. I used to watch them all the time

I Love a good soap opera. Lol

6. I watched many as a kid

when home from school. I recall Edge of Night in particular in glorious B&W, but by the time things had moved into Prime Time in the 80's my TV watching overall was much less.

There were a few series along the way that caught my eye such as MASH, Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue, Star Trek in it's several variations, The West Wing, Downton Abby and working slowly through Borgen (on Dvd) now, but they are few and far between anymore.

7. NYPD Blue was awesome

One of my faves.

8. I was an "Edge of Night" addict.

I absolutely loved that show and went into mourning when it ended.

11. I wouldn't go that far

but I do recall watching it as a kid. Got hooked on it back then.
