Ed's Epistle...It's A Marshmallow Song Review!!

Hey pallies, likes one of the smoothest of smooth Dino-wintery croons is "A Marshmallow World" and our personal fav Dino-ver-si-on is the one from the December 15, 1974, The Bob Hope Show. Likes last Dino-winter-month while  searchin' through previous years of Dino-winter-month posts we musta been totally totally Dino-directed to find our greatest of great Dino-proser, Ed's December  2, 2009 greatest of great review of "It's A Marshmallow World."

Likes we shared it when we found it last year and we just knows that it is only fittin' to make this a yearly Dino-traditoin so once 'gain we share Ed's wisest of wise Dino-prose for all youse Dino-holics Dino-delight on this eighteenth day of Dino-winter-month.

Likes we continue to stand in absolute awe of the way that when Ed writes Dino he does so in the most potently powerful and passionately  poetic Dino-way possible...and this review is proof positive of it dudes!  We are absolutely thrilled to be able to share it 'gain for all youse Dino-philes to bask in all the Dino-glory of Ed's gloriously golden review....includin' both the Dino and Frank Sinatra ver-si-on recently shared here by our own Danny-o)  as well as our fav of fav from the Bob Hope special.

Likes we don't hear much from our Dino-devoted pallie Ed these days, but we hope somehow, someway that you will know our deepest of deep Dino-appreciato for your magnificant way of homagin' our Dino in the hugest of huge ways!   Dino-always, ever, and only, DMP

It’s a "Marshmallow World" in the winter! The official voice of the season is a familiar one pallies. Breezes of Dino stirring the chilly holiday air has become an encouraging trend in our Dino-verse. Dino doin’ carols, fires doin’ chestnuts, snowflakes doin’ noses, it’s all one big collective snowball of yule tide!

Marshmallow clouds being friendly? Sun is red like a pumpkin head? Spring the tree, throw the lights, Dino has proclaimed the OH-ficial start of the season! The nog-of-egg filleth my cup as the voice-of-Dino filleth my spirits! Visions of sugar plums, and echoes of Dino dance in your head. As self-proclaimed Mayor of Dino-ville, I declare, officially, that Dino is The Voice of the Season!

Scoot over Der-Bingle, Dino’s oldie but a goodie “Marshmallow World” is the “White Christmas” of the 21st century! Very similar to the late blooming “Ain’t That a Kick in The Head”, “Marshmallow World” is experiencing a late growth spurt. Wasn’t long ago where if you didn’t own the LP, you didn’t hear this gem. And that’s a shame! The now familiar tune, recorded June 30th 1966 for Reprise Records, and released on the Dean Martin Christmas Album on October 11, 1966, wasn’t re-released into present day media until after 1998.

Lyrically "MW" is a masterpiece. Metaphors' paintings on cerebral canvases of celebratory holiday festivities. Marshmallows, whipped cream, pumpkins, snowballs, yum-ymmy's, sweet hearts and sugar dates. Dino is the rum in in this eggnog. The perfect elixir for your holiday frolicking. "Take a walk with your favorite girl". Wink wink pally.

December 21, 1967. The Dean Martin Show. Woo woo! Dino's having a blast. Ole Blue Eyes quips a ‘punkin head’. Dino-Cool and The Voice radiating audio warmth to the masses. Tuxes, and cigarettes singing snowballs and sugar dates. Crazy-daddy! Pick your pleasure, LP version of "MW", Dino 'n Frank version , or the Bob Hope special version. Like art, you can't explain it, but you know it when you see it. Pure Dino.

The Dean Martin Show

December 15, 1974, The Bob Hope Show. The King Of Cool eases into his green throne to endorse this holiday seasons version of "MW". It's a good one too. Dino in rare Christmas-Cool form. The tree adorned, the fireplace aglow, and Dino broadcasting to his Dino-zens the "State of the Season" address. Dino nails this version. The amber glow of his smoke, the casual step in his stroll. The next two minutes and thirty five seconds, all is good in the world. Your worries and woes are scramsville. Dino once again has pronounced the season full of sweethearts and snowballs. We are reminded what the season is all about.

The Bob Hope Special

Preferred listening suggestion:
Anywhere, anytime. Adorning the tree, or driving in your car. It's an audio candy cane pally. Ideally, for yours truly, this cut is perfect for a cozy winters night with that someone special. Perhaps an egg-nog or favorite vino. Make due with what you have, Dino will make up for everything you're short of. After all, you are now in his world.
Enjoy, and good night.

It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round.

Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose wont freeze.

The world is your snowball, see how it grows
Thats how it goes whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along

It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world.

Hey pallies, likes as we often does, when we find Dino-devotion at a new-to-ilovedinomartin blog, we simply musta dos a little searchin' 'round the pad to see if more adulation of our most beloved Dino has been shared.  So after postin' yesterday's Dino-gram from spaniard Mr. "Victor Hugo" at his blog "DU- DUM - DUM" accentin' Hugo's great Dino-giftin' selection  of that box set of 8 Classic Dino-al-b-ums," we did a bit of searchin' there and voila, we have 'nother Dino-seasonal selection for all youse Dino-holics to enjoys.

On this seventeenth day of Dino-winter-month we present to you Victor's combination of holiday feastin' and Dino-croonin' tagged "Musical Recipe: Gnocchi with beetroot sauce and cheese 6 Dean Martin."  We don't often enter into to world as Hugo tags it, of "gastro-sonic adventure" beyond our Dino's ver-si-on of the bourbon burger, but we just couldn't resist this recipe for "beet gnocchi" mixed with the wintery seasonal magic of our Dino croonin' "Marshmallow World" with a couple of the Golddiggers from the December 19, 1968 edition of the Dino-show.

Likes if any of you pallies tries this rich recipe, let's us know how it turns out...and be sure to listen to a ton of Dino-season's selections while doin' the kitchen artistry!  We sez our thank you very much once 'gain to Mr. "Victor Hugo" for 'nother great Dino-honorin' post and helpin' his readership grow deeper in knowin', lovin', and diggin' our main man.  To checks this out in it's original format, simply clicks on the tag of this here Dino-gram.   Dino-diggin', DMP

Musical Recipe: Gnocchi with beetroot sauce and cheese 6 Dean Martin:

At this time it is opening my appetite bad thing but we can not taste anything because we are to plan it and pecking leads to nothing good. Therefore, coinciding with these dates so endearing Christmas and such, we will start a new gastro-sonic adventure to help us do a little more bearable stomach growls until you reach the blessed lunch ... Come beyond a colorful, entertaining (the kind that says Gourmet Desserts that come in handy for children to go deep into the world of cooking) and rich recipe called beet gnocchi with cheese sauce 6!




As the night that we did not give us by taking a photo of the dish, I put here
one belonging to the web Gastronomy and Co. from which I borrowed the recipe.


Ingredients (serves 4-6 people):

400g of cooked beetroot.
200g potato flakes (or natural potato puree if you want to go superguay).
100g flour (although you may need more).
1 teaspoon salt.
1 pinch of nutmeg.
1 pinch black pepper.
1 egg.
1 brick of cream for cooking.
1 package of shredded cheese of any kind.


Elaboration:
We wash hands thoroughly because we are not a guarretes, ruthlessly chop and grind in a blender beets and took them to a bowl knead. We pour the shake and incorporate the potato flakes or puree. Salt and pepper and add the nutmeg. We mix very very very good (and I mean to be mixed very very well mean that you have to mix very very very good) until potato flakes have been rehydrated enough to lose its characteristic white color and become one with beet. Let stand 10 minutes to ensure rehydration and then add the beaten egg and flour sifted inches to avoid creating gobs. We return to mix very very well (I do not think it necessary to have to repeat the reason) to create a united and malleable mass, which is easily broken, but that does not stick to hands. The exact point will be when pressing the dough with the tip of a finger slightly, this return to his being away. If you see that mass is inconsistent, it should be corrected and keep adding more potato until it acquires body. Then it's time to sprinkle flour on the counter and when you release your mother this "for you know who's going to clean up after!". With the dough on the counter, we must knead and roll it to make cylinders or churrillos a thickness of approximately 1'5cm. We cut into portions of about 2cm and we shape pressing them with a fork.

These gnocchi can be stored a couple of days dusted with flour and tightly covered in the refrigerator, but it is advisable to boil a pot of water, a pinch of salt and bay leaf. When the water starts to boil gnocchi pieces that fall to the bottom of the pan are added. In a couple of minutes, no more, they will have made ​​gnocchi and go up. We are going retreating, straining and putting on the plate, which serve with the corresponding sauce. In our case, we chose the 6 cheese sauce. Why? Because the 4 cheese seems to us that is trite, because we are really cool and because we had more cheese remains at home. Point. To prepare, put to cook over low heat one brick of cream to cook, season and add an assortment of cheese: soft, cured, smoked mozzarella, Parmesan and blue, we have to remove patiently to be achieved and melt all each ellos.Tras this arduous task, we no longer have more than throw it over the gnocchi and explore great while uncork a bottle of wine or open a good background sound Beer and Carols always elegant and charismatic Dean Martin.




Recetario Musical: Ñoquis de remolacha con salsa de 6 quesos y Dean Martin:
A estas horas se me está abriendo el apetito cosa mala pero no podemos catar nada porque resulta que estamos a plan y el picotear no lleva a nada bueno. Por ello, coincidiendo con estas fechas tan entrañables de la Navidad y tal, vamos a iniciar una nueva aventura gastro-sonora que nos ayude a hacer un poquito más llevaderos los rugidos estomacales hasta que llegue la bendita hora de la comida... ¡Vamos allá con una colorida, entretenida (de esas que dice Karlos Arguiñano que vienen muy bien para que los niños vayan adentrándose en el mundo de la cocina) y rica receta que se llama ñoquis de remolacha con salsa de 6 quesos!


Como la noche aquella que los hicimos no nos dio por echar una foto al plato, aquí os pongo 
una perteneciente a la web Gastronomía Y Cía de la que tomé prestada la receta.


Ingredientes (para 4-6 personas):

400g de remolacha cocida.
200g de copos de patata (o puré de patata natural si quieres ir de superguay).
100g de harina (aunque puedes necesitar más).
1 cucharadita de sal.
1 pizca de nuez moscada.
1 pizca de pimienta negra.
1 huevo.
1 brick de nata para cocinar.
1 paquete de quesos rallados de cualquier tipo.


Elaboración:
Nos lavamos las manos a conciencia porque no somos unos guarretes, troceamos y trituramos sin contemplaciones con una batidora la remolacha y la llevamos a un cuenco de amasar. Vertemos el batido e incorporamos los copos de patata o el puré. Salpimentamos y añadimos la nuez moscada. Mezclamos muy muy muy bien (y cuando digo que hay que mezclar muy muy muy bien quiero decir que hay que mezclar muy muy muy bien) hasta que los copos de patata se hayan rehidratado lo suficiente como para perder su característico color blanquecino y hacerse uno con la remolacha. Dejamos reposar 10 minutos para asegurar la rehidratación y después añadimos el huevo batido y la harina tamizada a poquitos para no crear pegotes. Volvemos a mezclar muy muy muy bien (no creo que sea necesario que tenga que repetir la razón) hasta crear una masa unida y maleable, que se rompa fácilmente, pero que no se pegue a las manos. El punto exacto será cuando al presionar la masa con la yema de un dedo levemente, esta vuelva a su ser de inmediato. Si véis que la masa es inconsistente, habrá que corregir y seguir añadiendo más patata hasta que adquiera cuerpo. Entonces llegará el momento de espolvorear harina sobre la encimera y el momento en que vuestra madre os suelte eso de "¡pues ya sabes quién lo va a limpiar luego!". Con la masa en la encimera, habrá que amasarla y rodarla hasta hacer unos cilindros o churrillos de un 1´5cm de grosor aproximadamente. Los cortamos en porciones de unos 2cm y damos forma presionándolos con un tenedor. 

Estos ñoquis pueden conservarse un par de días espolvoreados con harina y bien tapados en el frigo, pero lo más aconsejable es poner a hervir una olla con agua, una pìzca de sal y laurel. Cuando el agua rompa a hervir se añaden las piezas de ñoquis, que caerán al fondo de la olla. En un par de minutos, no más, estos ñoquis se habrán hecho e irán subiendo. Los vamos retirando, colando y poniendo en el plato, que serviremos con su correspondiente salsa. En nuestro caso, hemos elegido la salsa de 6 quesos. ¿Por qué? Pues porque la de 4 quesos nos parece que está muy trillada, porque somos muy chulos y porque teníamos más restos de quesos en casa. Punto. Para prepararla, ponemos a cocer a fuego suave un brick de nata de cocinar, salpimentamos y añadimos un surtido variado de quesos: suave, curado, ahumado, mozarella, azul y parmesano, que hemos de remover con paciencia para que se logren fundir todos y cada uno de ellos.Tras esta ardua tarea, ya no nos queda más que echárselo por encima a los ñoquis y disfrutar de lo lindo mientras descorchamos una botella de vino o abrimos una buena cerve y suenan de fondo los villancicos del siempre elegante y carismático Dean Martin.

All I Want Is Dino: DEAN MARTIN EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS

Hey pallies, likes we thinks that today's Dino-gram is a first here at ilovedinomartin.  On this sixteenth day of Dino-winter-month we offer all youse Dino-philes 'nother great Dino-giftin' idear...with a twist dudes.  Likes, for years, we have been offerin' what we consider swank special suggestions for all those Dino-holics on your seasonal shoppin' list, but this is the first time in memory that we are offerin' a suggestion from a pallie from 'nother part of the Dino-globe!

Likes today we takes you to the tuneful blog "DU - DUM- DUM"  where Spanish blogger "Victor Hugo" holds forth.  "Hugo" hails from Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, Spain and his post "Una de esas joyitas: Dean Martin"  (English translation: One of these gems: Dean Martin.) offers one of the bestest of best Dino-deals 'round.

"Victor" Dino-"gem" is none other then the 4 CD collection of Dino-croons tagged "DEAN MARTIN EIGHT CLASSIC ALBUMS.  Likes you can read our original Dino-prose on this coolest of cool collection  HERE when it was first released a couple of years 'go.   'though that know that "Hugo's primo prose is less powerful in translation then the original Spanish, none the less we digs his Dino-take on this massive massive collection of Dino-croons.  He speaks of our most beloved Dino's "class, style, and elegance" and recommends "decorate this Christmas with music high tuft," of course speakin' of none other then our main man.

As we have spoken of before, this collection of 8----count -em----eight original al-b-ums is truly a bargain of bargain, usually found 'round these parts for less then what one might pay for a single al-b-um.  And, "Hugo" does a commendable job of offerin; both" pros" and "cons" for this stellar set of recordin's.

We are deeply delighted to be able to offer Mr. "Victor Hugo's" sweet sweet suggestion" for a Dino-gift that won't break the bank, but give hours and hours of Dino-listenin' Dino-pleasure.  We thanks "Hugo" for offerin' his readership this bestest of best Dino-giftin' idear.  To checks this out in it's original source, simply clicks on the tag of this here Dino-message.  Dino-sharin', DMP

One of these gems: Dean Martin.



If you want to give your ears gustirrinín; learn a little that is left over that I go to class, style and elegance; get without leaving your home the intensive course 'Crooner: How to stop being a nerd' and decorate this Christmas with music high tuft, here's your chance: Dean Martin - Eight Classic Albums' is a case of the record company Real Gone Music which includes remastered and enhanced in the next eight classic Dean Martin published LPs for Capitol and Reprise between 57 and 62:

-'Pretty Baby '.
-'Sleep Warm '.
-'A Winter Romance '.
Time -'This I'm Swingin' '.
-'Dino: Italian Love Songs'.
-'French Style '.
-'Cha Cha Cha De Amor '.
-'Dino Latino '.

Pros of this issue: You pull a series of disks that are very difficult to purchase separately, the remastering and other technical aspects of the album are outstanding (energetic, deep and rich sound nuances) and affordable price (less than 15 euros depending on where you go to look for).

Cons: No features its two previous works 'Dean Martin Sings' (53) and 'Down Yonder Swingin'' (55) and with s English and EP's and also suffers from a booklet of credits to explain the details the intricacies of these discs and piece of this great artist.


My verdict: If you have curiosity for the work of Dean Martin I recommend one of the many collections that are on it because you will enjoy one montonazo but if you want to really dig deeper and find the gems that was leaving this teacher US entertainment over three decades I sincerely believe that you're taking to make these gems.
Una de esas joyitas: Dean Martin.


Si deseas darle gustirrinín a tus oídos; aprender un poco lo que es eso de ir sobrado de clase, estilo y elegancia; recibir sin salir de tu casa el curso intensivo 'Crooner: Cómo dejar de ser un pardillo' y adornar estas navidades con música de alto copete, he aquí tu oportunidad: 'Dean Martin - Eight Classic Albums' es un estuche de la compañía discográfica Real Gone Music que incluye en versión remasterizada y mejorada los siguientes ocho los LP´s clásicos de Dean Martin publicados para Capitol y Reprise entre el 57 y el 62:

-'This Time I´m Swingin´'.
-'Dino: Italian Love Songs'.
-'French Style'.
-'Cha Cha Cha De Amor'.
-'Dino Latino'.

Pros de esta edición: Tienes del tirón una serie de discos que son muy difíciles de adquirir por separado, la remasterización y los demás aspectos técnicos del disco son de sobresaliente (sonido pletórico, profundo y rico en matices) y precio realmente asequible (menos de 15 euros según dónde vayas a buscarlo).

Contras: No cuenta con sus dos trabajos previos 'Dean Martin Sings' (53) y 'Swingin´ Down Yonder' (55), así como con los singles y EP´s y además adolece de un libreto de créditos que explique al detalles los intringulis de estos pedazo de discos y de este pedazo de artista.


Mi veredicto: Si tienes simple curiosidad por la obra de Dean Martin te recomiendo uno de los múltiples recopilatorios que hay sobre él porque vas a disfrutar un montonazo pero si lo que te interesa de verdad es profundizar y descubrir las joyitas que fue dejando este maestro del entertainment estadounidense a lo largo de tres décadas creo, sinceramente, que ya estás tardando en hacerte con estas joyitas.

From the blog  "Mean Green Math - Explaining the "whys" of mathematics" by blogger Mr. John Quintanilla" comes from within  memory, the first Dino-mathematical proposition "Predicate Logic and Popular Culture (Part 6): Dean Martin."   Well, the word "Green" is part of Mr. Quintanilla's blog tag and likes red and green are the traditional colors accentin' this wintery season...so, let's just use that are our official reason for sharin' this post this Dino-day!

Mr. Quintanilla's bio tells us that he is "Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of North Texas, located in Denton, Texas."  And he 'plains how Mean Green is appro for a blog 'bout math..."Indeed, the title of this blog acknowledges one of the symbols of UNT, the Mean Green."

Predicate Logic and Popular Culture (Part 6): Dean Martin

This semester, I taught discrete mathematics for the first time. Part of the discrete mathematics course includes an introduction to predicate and propositional logic for our math majors. As you can probably guess from their names, students tend to think these concepts are dry and uninteresting even though they’re very important for their development as math majors.

In an effort to making these topics more appealing, I spent a few days mining the depths of popular culture in a (likely futile) attempt to make these ideas more interesting to my students. In this series, I’d like to share what I found. Naturally, the sources that I found have varying levels of complexity, which is appropriate for students who are first learning prepositional and predicate logic.

When I actually presented these in class, I either presented the logical statement and had my class guess the statement in actual English, or I gave my students the famous quote and them translate it into predicate logic. However, for the purposes of this series, I’ll just present the statement in predicate logic first.

Let L(x,y,t) be the proposition “x loves y at time t.” Translate the logical statement

\forall x \exists y \exists t L(x,y,t),

where the domain for x and y is all people and the domain for t is all times.

The clunky way of translating this into English is, “For every person, there exists a person and a time so that the first person loves the second person at that time.” But it sounds a lot better when Dean Martin sings it.

I wait for it the whole year round.

In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose wont freeze.

The world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along

It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world.

Once I was alone
So lonely and then
You came out of nowhere
Like the sun up from the hill

Cold cold as the wind
Warm warm were your lips
Out there on the ski trail
Where your kiss filled me with thrill

Weekend in Canada a change of scenery
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you and in your eyes
I've found a love that I couldn't ignore

Down down came the sun
Fast fast beat my heart
I knew as the sun set from that day
We'd never part

Down down down down came the sun
Fast fast fast fast beat my heart
I knew as the sun set from that day
We'd never part
Down down down down came-a the sun
Fast fast fast fast beat-a my heart
I knew as the sun set from that day
We'd never part
We'd never part
We'd never part

By Robert J Wright December 24, 2014 4:47 PM

One can easily make the case that of all ‘The Rat Pack’ members, Dean Martin was the coolest. Frank had his famous temper. With his Nehru jackets and litany of ‘baby’s’, Sammy sometimes was trying a little too hard. But Dino, with drink in hand and never in a hurry, was the picture of 50s cool.

After all, who else could, in the middle of the Christmas classic, ‘Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer’, effortlessly slip into a slightly slurred German dialect and sing, ‘Rudolph mit your nose so bright, won’t you guide mein sleigh tonight?’

Take a listen and you’ll see why Dino’s version of ‘Rudy’ is without a doubt, the coolest Christmas carol of all!
