Agamemnon and His Daughters

Last night was the last play of the season at Brandeis, titled Agamemnon and His Daughters, which was "adapted by Kenneth Cavander, from plays by Aischylos, Sophokles & Euripides" (their choice of transliteration, not mine).

We were early enough to have a chance to look at the display in the gallery in the theater beforehand. ( what was on display )

And so, into the Laurie (my favorite of the three stages at Spingold (the theater building)), to see the play. ( much more detail )

Current annoyance: email at work being completely and utterly unavailable (though I shouldn't kvetch much, with LJ being accessible, right? :-)

Cooking

Yesterday I brought a couple of rye breads in to work, along with some grapefruit curd and butter, as toppings.

Last night I made a chocolate bread dough (I put in ginger, too, but not enough to be noticeable, unfortunately), later rolling it into two loaves with a swirl of chocolate chips through it. Since I baked them early this morning on time bake, however, they had a long second rise, and so the chocolate swirl is rather more like a line. Still, it's pretty nice. The bread is not sweet, but the chocolate chips are, and both are reasonably chocolatey. The orkers are eating it, anyway, despite lack of email notification, which is pleasing.
I think next up may be cinnamon-apple-walnut bread. That, plus a batch of challah, may get me close to the end of this bag of flour!

I had the oven wake me up a bit early this morning. After getting the chocolate bread out, I started another batch of bread dough (multi-grain, this time), boiled some artichokes, roasted potatoes and onions, cut up a pineapple, and roasted cauliflower. Six non-impossible things before breakfast...
