magid(Those vacation posts will happen soon, I suppose.)
Friday highlights included lunch at Rami's after an uneventful flight from Norfolk (that apparently left and arrived *early*), an afternoon of catching up (email, LJ, phone calls, and actual live people), then Shabbat dinner (challah, grape juice (courtesy of Wolf and Tigerlily's trip to Costco), sausages'n'onions, a sautee of all sorts of veggies with wasabi-ginger sauce (not the most successful experiment), rosemary-lavender-sea salt-cracked pepper flatbread, and sorbets).
I had been surprised to find not one, but two invitations to Shabbat lunch when I got home. I ended up going to M & M's, friends who got engaged a little while ago, and are working on the rest of their wedding planning now that they're back from the month-long vacation (how do people manage to do all this?). The food was yummy (not a surprise at all. Particularly nice were the cigars (spicy meat in dough, nothing to do with tobacco), black-eyed peas, and a wonderful shallot dish made with balsamic vinegar.), and the conversation flowed easily. After lunch, we played a new-to-me game, Torres, which involves building castles and moving knights up levels.
Sunday included some wonderful just-cooked donuts (the chocolate glazed one still warm) eaten in a nearby park.
Queue and ZZBottom and I went to see Psycho Beach Party at the Loeb Experimental Theater (in the same building as the ART, on Brattle Street). It was very funny, not a direct recreation of the campy movie at all, though the campiness was preserved.
And now back to work, where I still seem to be expected to be doing two people's jobs. I just can't get everything done. Everything is behind, everyone is pushing for something. Argh!
