Need your help: 80s puberty video w/ Annie - please leave link in comments

It all started with this photo I took of my old elementary school, Alice E. Fulton School.

Then I posted it on Facebook. This got Kara and I to talking about that puberty video we watched in the cozy little library. It was starring "Annie" from the musical. But I can't find it anywhere on the internet: no youtube, no IMDB, no links.

Anyone have any info on this video? Anyway, what I did find was this:

UPDATE: Kara found the IMDB link. The film is called "Growing Up on Broadway." Still no luck on a video link, though. Please help, if you can.

Picture of the Day - Tiger in Water

This was the picture of the day on Wikimedia Commons. It was so striking, I decided to repost it here. Tigers were my dad's favorite animal, too.

Happy Mother's Day

Robin Hood & The Nazis

For whatever reason I'm obsessed with the Robin Hood myth. I've blogged about it previously. Today, I watched the 1937 Errol Flynn film.

In that version, Prince John, with the help of Sir Guy & the Sherriff of Nottingham, is trying to take over the throne from Richard the Lionheart, who is away on the Crusades. Prince John is an evil Norman ruler who is taxing both Anglo-Saxons & Normans to death, killing or maiming them if they don't pay their burdensome taxes. Robin Hood leads a rebellion and shelters all the unfortunates along with the merry men in the Locksley Forest.

The Norman vs Anglo Saxon theme was very prominent. I think it was trying to address the growing Nazi movement, because they kept talking about how everyone needed to get alonf and work for the good of England.

It was a very young Warner Company's second Technicolor production and was the most expensively produced movie in it's time.

Worth a look on the Turner Classic Movie channel, if it's On Demand or re-aired any time soon.

Sweet & Grilled Collard Greens Recipe

Recipe: Sweet & Grilled Collard Greens

1 head of collards - take out the center and cut off the stems, rinse them, roll them like a cigar & chop
4 cloves of garlic, sliced
1/2 vidalia onion thinly sliced
1 tbs butter
1 tbs olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp sesame seeds
1 tbs hot sauce
2 tbs honey
2 tbs water
salt & pepper along the way

Heat the paprika and sesames in the bottom of a big pot to toast them. Turn heat down, add the olive oil and butter and stir around. When hot, add the onion & garlic stir well and saute until the onions are limp. Add the collard greens, stir and cover. Let stand for about two minutes when the collards start to wilt. Add the honey, hot sauce and water. Stir well, reduce heat to low and cover for 20. We have this grilling basket here in Weymouth, which I lined with aluminum foil and put the collard on the grill for about 20 minutes while everything else cooked too. If you don't have a fancy grill basket, just make a pouch with alum. foil and grill low for 20 more minutes.

I've never cooked with collards before. I thought it'd be fun to experiment. This recipe is adapted post-cooking in the technique section, as I learned some secrets afterward...
