Runs with knives!
Tonight was the first night (of two nights) of the Madrigal Dinner at Kentucky Wesleyan College. This evening is the performance that I attended, and it was very nice. A brisk night in Owensboro Kentucky was a lovely contrast to the warm, inviting room (well,…
Tonight was the second (and last) night of the Madrigal Dinner at Kentucky Wesleyan College. Wendy & I joined a few other alums for dinner at FAMOUS DELI in Owensboro. We had a starter of fried mozzarella with marinara sauce (it was excellent), then I…
We left the hotel at 9:00am (their time) to travel back from Kentucky.
In the evening, we attended the fourth annual craft party at Dave & Robin’s house, attended by Dave, Robin, Cheryl, Danny, Holly, Wendy, and Drew. We made candle cozies, little beaded Christmas trees, and beady candy canes. It was fun, but if you ask me about it in front of people, I’ll lie to your face. It’s just not very macho.
Dinner was at their place, and consisted of pizza rolls, bagel bites, and holiday snacks.
Tonight we hung out at home and had delivery from LaRosa’s… I had a hoagie and Wendy had a cibatta (which, to her dismay, they may be discontinuing, if the driver is to be believed).
Currently reading ONLY REVOLUTIONS by Mark Z. Danielewski, the author of the very-weird and much-enjoyed House of Leaves. This book is more challenging than House of Leaves and I am not immediately enjoying it as much. However, I will stick with it. If you’re interested…
We went for dinner tonight with Robin and our friend Doug. We decided to go to the IRON HORSE INN for dinner (and to pick up some wine we bought at the last wine dinner). Doug had never eaten there, so we were excited to introduce him to one of our favorite places.
Dinner included Lobster Bisque and their “Stuffed Risotto”, and Wendy & I split a piece of their bread pudding.
After dinner, we all went to Garden Ridge to get a new Christmas tree. We wanted a fake one that was pre-lit and looked better than my old fake tree (think wire hangers with a few pieces of green plastic). We found one and got it home easily. It was remarkably simple to get it set up, too, much to the delight of our cats. The still-unnamed Little White Cat had never seen a Christmas tree (this being his first Christmas) and was delighted to play under, around, and in the tree.
We completely forgot to pick up the wine, too.
Wendy had her cake decorating class this evening (it was Fondant night and she was very excited), so I went to Tokyo Restaurant for a sushi dinner — soup, salad, 10 pieces of nigiri sushi, and a tuna roll. I added Eel nigiri. It was…
