Topic of the Day:  I do like coleslaw and potato salad and macaroni salad, as BK mentioned in his notes.  But also, my mom makes a German cucumber salad that's really good.  And there's always Ambrosia and fruit salad.

Also, I've never had this, but this recipe video for Brussels Sprout Salad from America's Test Kitchen sounds really good:

I love cucumber salads (basically just cucumber and onion and sesame seeds, as served in Japanese restaurants and Jewish delis. Very refreshing. Love good coleslaw, which is surprisingly hard to find, and love good potato salad (ditto). I've had very good macaroni salad, but if there's too much mayo I can't do it. As you know, I love the California Chicken Cafe chicken and pasta salad with scallions in thousand island instead of straight mayo, and I love good chicken salad and egg salad, not that those are really side dishes.

No word from the IRS. I am very pissed about their false "three weeks to refund" claims. I have already received my refund from NY State, so I can't imagine there's a problem with the return itself.

I had a rough night of sleep. I'd left the thermostat setting a little too warm, even though it was going down to freezing outside, and when I woke up too warm in the middle of the night I just didn't feel like going to it and changing it. Then I kept waking up from really stupid dreams. Some nights it almost doesn't pay to go to bed.

The best deviled eggs I’ve ever eaten were made by Freddie’s everlovin’ Skip.


He very kindly shared his recipe with me, and despite being a pale imitation of the original, I have gotten raves whenever I’ve made them.

I never got Skip's recipe...of course, I never asked for Skip's recipe, so there's that. ::)

So, earlier today, I had a meeting with the people from Dukesbay Productions (https://dukesbay.org/) about being a stage manager for them.

I drove up to Tacoma and got a tour of their fairly small but quite delightful theater, and we chatted for a while and I decided to accept their offer (it was quite generous!) to stage manage a show for them in October.

My only concern was that I really want to see the co-production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (https://harlequinproductions.org/show/sweeney-todd/) between Harlequin Productions and the Olympia Symphony Orchestra that was also happening in October!

I don't know if it's going to be a fully staged production or a semi-staged concert version (I'm guessing a concert version), but it'll be with a full symphony orchestra

Anyway, it turns out that Sweeney Todd is happening on October 11-13, and the play at Dukesbay is two weekends after that, so I'll definitely have the opportunity to see it.  Whew!! :D

Thanks MichaelG!  I seriously would've had to think about taking the SM job.

After the meeting with the Dukesbay people, I went to the house of my (and Jane's and TCB's) friend Sharry and we visited and had chips and salsa and cheese and Triscuits while we waited for her husband Micheal to get home.

Then, the three of us went to the Lakewood Casa Mia (https://www.casamiaitalianrestaurant.com/) restaurant and ate some more! ;D

I had the meatball sandwich and ate only half of it there...Sharry also only ate half of her pizza.

Sandwiches like that heat up very nicely in my toaster oven.

It's not something that I would reheat in a microwave oven.
