My Aunt Pitty-Pat made the best chocolate chip cookies imaginable. The secret family recipe evolved over several generations. In the old days, people from all over the colony came to our house.... just to sample the wonderful cookies. Aunt Pitty-Pat fine-tuned the recipe throughout her life, taking into consideration current tastes and special ingredients available only through private channels. Her chocolate-chip cookies were made lovingly, one small batch at a time. No nuts, no lettuce, no catsup, and absolutely no spinach -- just the best chocolate chip cookies in all the world. In her last breath, Aunt Pitty-Pat revealed the secret recipe to another generation of the family. We are so fortunate! And we are proud to offer her cookies to you through BBHQ. We cannot reveal the secret recipe, but it strictly prohibits any and all preservatives. So you should not let the cookies sit around on the counter. Of course, we are sure that as soon as you taste one, the rest will not last long. Madam Red Dot bakes them to order right here at the BBHQ compound. We will mail them to you via priority mail. We suggest that you order them no more than a week before you want the satiatingly exquisite, culinary experience of a lifetime. We are so confident of Aunt Pitty-Pat's recipe that we'll guarantee that if these are not the best chocolate chip cookies that have ever passed under your palate, we will refund your full purchase price. A batch of Aunt Pitty-Pat's cookies consists of about 25 cookies, each about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. We seal them in a bag inside a decorative, reusable gift basket. This is a perfect way to send a wonderful, warm, personal gift. We'll send an absolutely fresh and delicious batch of Aunt Pitty-Pat's cookies to you for $24.00, including priority mail shipping anywhere in the continental U.S.

One of Aunt Pitty-Pat's rules was than enough was never enough. And boy, did that ever apply to her cookies!

This is a fabulous addition for the buffet table.... or for a long weekend all by yourself.

Sixty years later, we are still fascinated by them.
This is the original metal Slinky -- it's the real thing! He is just under 3 inches in diameter, and as long as you want him to be. He walks; he jumps; he slithers; he rolls; he slides; he sings lullabies in the dark..... OK, maybe not that last thing. But he does all the others; and he is great fun! It's wonderful nostaligia for your favorite boomer. We'll send one right to your door for $10.00, including shipping.

You say you have a record player and a bunch of classic 45s, but no way to play them? We have the 45 RPM adapters you need to make them fit. A set of 25 plastic adapters is only $4.75. Many people buy our adapters as party favors or decorations for a 60s party. What a neat idea! They are yellow, but we can spray paint them red, gold, blue or black.

This is the plastic adapter that you place on your turntable, over the spindle to support 45 rpm records. The $6.00 price includes packaging and mailing costs.

The perfect gift for the guy who has everything!
El Saco de Toro! According to the purveyor of this special
gift:
"This is an original Saco-de-Toro 'Bullie.' It came from a proud virile
beast and at one time contained the seeds of life and the future of the
herd. Your bullie has weathered the heat of the summers and the cold
winds of winters. The scars and blemishes on your Bullie are indicative
of the hardships endured by the beasts.
"You can be assured that there is not another Bullie exactly like yours
anywhere. They are as distinctive as fingerprints, and come in different
colors, different sizes, different shapes and different textures. Your
Bullie is unique, useful, conventional and expressive."
Your bullie can be a mini-trash can or a candy dish or a pencil and pen
holder. It can serve as an unusual hanging flower pot. You can hang it on
your golf bag to store your balls. It holds stuff.
Bullie is a tad less than 6 inches high, about 5 inches in diameter and
hollow on the inside. It has a rawhide strap wrapped around the top.
El Saco de Toro has "USA" written all over it (metaphorically). Saco
de Toro was proudly born and bred in the U.S.A. It is available from BBHQ
for $29.75, but it not available for export out of the country. The price
includes gentle packaging and postage.

Great, soothing piano solos:
"Quiet music to calm the heart in a noisy world."
Jeff Bjorck is an independent composer and musician. That means
he is still waiting to be discovered by the masses. Jeff is an extremely
talented, sensitive New Age pianist. This is his first collection of
original compositions. If you like George Winston, David Lanz or Jim
Brickman, you'll like this.
If you have RealAudio software, you can listen to a portion of
Walk Down
Steward Lane, track 4 on "Pure Piano Portraits." This is really great
stuff, folks!
Listen to other samples from the CD:
"Pure Piano Portraits" is available at BBHQ for $12.
This comes with the BBHQ guarantee. Buy it; if you don't like it, we'll
buy it back from you.
|
More great, soothing piano solos:
"Pure Piano Panoramas" begins where Jeff's first CD ended. Many tracks on
his first CD reflect his love for the Appalachian woods and Catskill
Mountains of his youth. Now, having lived the last decade in Southern
California, Jeff has turned to the desert and chaparral for inspiration.
From the Joshua Trees of the Mojave Desert (portrayed on the CD cover) to
towering thunderclouds hovering above parched earth, Jeff's new songs
take the listener on a panoramic tour.
If you have RealAudio software, you can listen to a portion of track 8,
Porch Swing
Summer Night.
Listen to other samples from the CD:
"Pure Piano Panoramas" is available at BBHQ for $12.

"'Have Gun, Will Travel' reads the card of a man." This is a great western from the late 50s and early 60s. But this was more morals than shoot 'em ups. The 6-disc set DVD contains some "behind the scenes" information in addition to all 39 episodes of the second season. Guest stars include Harry Morgan, Suzanne Pleshette, Charles Bronson, Vincent Price and Morey Amsterdam. It is a great show, folks. And you can have the entire second season in your hot, little hands! You can buy this through Amazon.com. At the time of this posting, the price for this masterpiece was $40.99. Click here for your copy.

| The BBHQ Album of the Month is "Old Friends Live on Stage (Deluxe Edition) (2 CD/1 DVD)," by Simon & Garfunkel. If you were fortunate enough to see them in concert last year, I do not have to sell you. The concert was terrific! This album collection includes 55 songs, plus their new recording, "Citizen of the Planet," and one of the songs sung by the Everly Brothers during the concert. The DVD was recorded during their concert in Madison Square Garden in 2003. For any S&G fan, this is a must have! But then, you knew that already, didn't you? |

The BBHQ Book of the Month is
"Vinyl Highway," by
Dee Dee Phelps. You remember her as Dee Dee, of Dick and Dee Dee.
Together, they took a decade long ride on the rock and roll roller
coaster. It was a heck of a ride! Dick Clark, Quincy Jones, the Beach
Boys, Glenn Campbell, Dionne Warwick, Bobby Vinton... Dick and Dee Dee
rubbed shoulders with all of them. This is her "behind the scenes" story.
It's pretty cool.
