magidFriday afternoon I got home at 2. Shabbat started just after 4. All I had done was made the challah dough. And yet, a meal was made. The menu:
It was incredibly windy Friday, wonderfully so; I love feeling the wind in my hair. The downside was that though the eruv had been checked, there was a presumption that it would come down in the wind, and so not usable. Somehow in the last ten minutes before Shabbat, the meal moved, to accommodate the parents at the meal. The bonus was the Nantucket cranberry pie :-), not to mention longer conversation than would've been feasible had they had to get the toddler home to bed from my house.
Saturday night I (and many others :-) went west, to hear Scholargipsy sing with his band, The Boss. It was the first time I've heard him sing with the band, and it was fun, mostly music I recognized, even. I hadn't expected so much southern and drawl in his singing voice, though perhaps that's necessary with the songs they covered :-). Other than the music, highlights included dancing with MissDimple to Jessie's Girl (why am I the only one who remembers this as a General Hospital song?), seeing Pheromone after far too long (though it was frustrating not to have enough time to catch up!), talking with InfiniteHotel, and seeing how coy Queue could be while eating a lollipop. I wish I could've stayed for the third set.
Sunday, I spent a couple of hours helping at the Loring-Greenough House. Amazingly, I'd never been on the second floor before, so it was particularly exciting, seeing all manner of historical items for the first time. I did a brief inventory of textiles in a couple of rooms, which included clothing (the detailed work on a christening gown was beautiful), rugs, samplers, and other embroidery that astonished me with its precision. Once I was done with that, I got to stuff my very first stocking! Not a holiday one, but a silk one with two different openwork patterns in it; now it is more three-dimensional with tissue paper in it. And the matching silk slippers are also being kept in shape with tissue paper. It was interesting seeing more of the museum up close and personal, albeit with gloves on :-).
After a JP Lick's run (ginger ice cream! hooray!) and much, er, silliness, I got to see the first three episodes of The Prisoner. It's... odd. Very odd. All sorts of logical questions that aren't answered, plots that are but lightly strung together, but visually very interesting. It made me wonder if the producers were interested in surrealism. Many thanks to Bitty for the introduction.
- challah and wine
- hummus with pine nuts (I forgot to send it over, so this didn't, in the end, get eaten then)
- turkey thighs roasted with onions, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, apple, and powdered garlic and sage
- brown rice with julienned almonds
- sauteed onions, mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and baby bok choy with Szechuan spicy sauce
- Z's salad of Chinese cabbage, scallions, and chow mein noodles in a slightly sweet sesame-soy sauce dressing
