Some of the best parts of my weekend
Oct. 28th, 2002 10:34 amQuiet Shabbat dinner, with veggie soup to use up the rest of the odd farm veggies (celeriac and salsify come to mind), and turkey parts over balsamic vinegar-sauteed mushrooms and onions. Easy conversation, more book reading.
Women's tefilah group's seudah shlishit (lit. "third meal" on Shabbat) that I'd've been unlikely to attend had my parsha class not been moved there (( thoughts from the parsha )).
I'm glad the class was moved; I got to talk with some wonderful women about a range of issues, to feel a beautiful Shabbat closing, to compare benchers of interest, etc. I felt welcomed and cared about, in a non-probing sort of way. Just really good. Perhaps I shall go to more of their events (though I suspect this would've been better attended had there not been downpours, which would've meant a different dynamic entirely).
Seeing the costumes at the first party of the evening. Particular highlights included Cthulhia's red shimmer plus attitude (wow), the aquarium, and the hanged man (he could go to a gaming costume party as a tarot card, even th ough he wasn't upside down). Also the fish, a pair of sinners with their demon, and the bear market (who I thought looked rather like Fred Flintstone going to a fraternal order of something-or-other meeting).
Getting lovely hugs from JB at the second party. Thanks again. Also the effects of dry ice on a variety of liquids. Quite disturbing.
Interesting charts to inspire some creativity, I hope.
Apple-picking, despite the theoretically built-for-this bags breaking.
Eating my first chicken-and-(so y)-yogurt spicy Indian dish. Yum. Plus the first homemade applesauce of the season. Thanks, Q.
Watching a funny silly movie (making comments on rock music and the hair/makeup), not even noticing how early it got dark, on the the first of the "shorter" days. Getting the giggles after.
