Good night, friends.

And others.

I sent this photo to my mother with the caption: "Why you shouldn't wait until you retire to start traveling."

LOL!

Rehearsal is finally finished, an hour later than planned. The big slow down was the long medley because once I heard the kid sing it, we had to adjust all the keys and I had to fix the transitions.

Our pianist was also getting tired toward the end, and he also hadn't listened to tracks he needed to so he knows he must do that and be super prepared for Thursday's long rehearsal.

We also had to give everyone a piano track to work with.

I'm exhausted - normally, I don't do any directing on the first day with the adult shows. With the kids, I do a lot.

I am curious if anyone has any idea - did Edith Head work on more movies than most creatives of her era? It just seems like every movie I watch, she is credited with the costumes.

She worked on a lot.

I am finished for today.

Good night, all.

I've been very busy with Cabrillo Festival the past week - not just attending the concerts, but doing various board volunteer activities. Last week we served pizza, wine, and ice cream to the orchestra, composers, conductors, and staff after one of the open rehearsals.

Tomorrow we have a party where we're supposed to bring desserts. This was a great opportunity to do some baking inspired by all my viewings of Great British Bake Off. I made chocolate chip cookies (with really good chips) and a lemon drizzle cake. Lemon drizzle cake is often one of the first bakes for GBBO bakers, and this is Paul Hollywood's recipe.

MichaelG · « **Reply #163 on:** August 06, 2024, 10:46:42 PM »

We tested the cake with friends last week and tested the cookies tonight at dinner. Everything seems set so I hope folks enjoy them and I don't bring back leftovers.

Hello kind hearts and sweet souls.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #165 on:** August 06, 2024, 10:59:47 PM »

I had a delightful blueberry pie today from White Spot, the venerable Canadian chain. Analogous to a better-quality Perkins in the states, if any of you know Perkins.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #166 on:** August 06, 2024, 11:02:34 PM »

Poppin Fresh was a chain in the Midwest when I was a kid. It became Bakers Square.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #167 on:** August 06, 2024, 11:04:18 PM »

Anyway…. The draw of White Spot for the kids is what’s called a Pirate Pak, which is a kids meal that comes served in a clever cardboard ship. With a chocolate coin AND ice cream.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #168 on:** August 06, 2024, 11:05:54 PM »

But one day a year, Aug. 14, adults are allowed to get a Pirate Pak. So Mrs. Rodz, who grew up with these things, is beside herself with delight.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #169 on:** August 06, 2024, 11:08:42 PM »

Walz. This dude is funny and sharp. Just what we need, in addition seeming basically unassailable. Military career, school teacher, gun owner, pro-union… Of course they’ll still try!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #170 on:** August 06, 2024, 11:09:40 PM »

Egregious post #170.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #171 on:** August 06, 2024, 11:10:31 PM »

Erroneous post #172.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #172 on:** August 06, 2024, 11:11:10 PM »

Actual post #172.

Whew! I'm getting a little tired just reading about it all!

Those both sound wonderful. My friend Shelly loves lemon-flavored foodstuffs.

As do I...but just not as much as she does.

I love blueberry pie, but I've never heard of Perkins.
