What a Saturday!

 My first goal was to purchase some fish at our fresh market, which is only open Friday and Saturdays.

Then home and domestic stuff. I completely forgot to use the nebulizer, but wasn’t coughing either. With a lovely salad, which reminded me how easy it is to tear lettuce and cut avocado and tomato and sprinkle stuff on it! It wasn’t till I went to be that I did the other nebulizing treatment, but forgot to take my evening meds.

It was good to the last bite!

Then I was invited spontaneously to attend a live performance "a reading" of a Neil Coward play "Fallen Angels." My friend had an extra ticket because her friend who originally was going with her went to ER with shortness of breath. We hadn't found out how she was by the time we went home 3 hours later. (The reading/play was with a very small audience with intimacy of sitting 5 feet from the actors. I had to pull my feet in as they entered and exited the stage area!)


We had a good parking space and walked around the block to the theatre entrance, which was of course good for me!


I'm wearing last years glasses, (on right in picture) which work ok, but leave me without good focus often. My newer ones just suddenly became un-cleanable, so went back  to optician as they were under warrantee. I hope they come back soon.

Then home to cook my lovely fresh grouper. First I had to skin it...why I didn't get Roger to do so I don't know. Anyway then I made a huge dinner of 3 different dishes!


Green beans were the easiest, just heat in microwave. Pour out into a bowl which will become refrigerator savings for left overs. All these ingredients will make 3 meals at least. But I hadn't stood in the kitchen managing cooking the 3 dishes in months! Challenge time. Especially to get them all ready to serve at the same time!


I found a delicious sounding recipe for the grouper on line, a parmesan creamy toping to keep it from drying out while roasted in little oven. I also sprinkled some Panko on top of that. But it didn't cook all the nice thick fish, so I separated it in the middle...and had to turn down the heat so it didn't burn. Experiments with food!

Even I can tell the mac and cheese photo is out of focus...just a package of Krafts did the trick. Now I've lots of leftovers there! I didn't want to eat a lot of carbs, but wanted a little.

Clean-up was postponed till next morning...and it was Foggy out!


And interesting combination of lines, horizontal vs  vertical. Love the muted colors!


Through the screen on the front porch. Sunday night (when this was written) is a freeze so all remaining plants will be left to the fates. I'll try to move the pots to the balcony so one doesn't have to look at them all winter! We may even have a bit of snow in the next couple of days! I am not holding my climate change breath.

  2. Good for you cooking several meals at once. It's so good to know your dinner is there already. The theater experience sounds pretty intimate.

  4. Nice food prep! Weather here is its usual RI weirdness. Cold enough a few nights ago to cover few plants left on the deck. Saturday it was warm enough to have the deck doors open. Happy Monday!

  5. Your salad looks so good. I should make them more often because as you said, they aren't that hard to make.

  6. Since many years now most of my main meals have been salad + something rather than the other way round...

  10. I don’t know the last time I had Kraft Mac and Cheese. Man, I love that stuff, but it’s too easy for me to count an entire box as one serving.

    I love your stained glass/blown glass/whatever one calls it in your window. Lovely.

  11. My goal is always to prepare a dinner where there are leftovers like the chicken pot pie made last night and the chicken stew made last week. It can be work the first time, but then a lot easier the next couple of nights! Looks like you and your friend had a nice time at the reading and unexpected treats are always so nice.

  12. I am team leftover over here with so many mouths to feed. The night out sounds cozy and quaint. I hope your friend's friend is OK. I have never bothered to bring pots in when it's gonna freeze. Too much to track.
