And the beat goes on...
So after telling us that there was no way they could paint us this week (because of the rain), they are painting us. They have the windows tapes off in the back downstairs and I'm expecting them to do the upstairs windows soon. The cats, of course, are not happy. I think they are as tired of all of this as we are.
This week I tried a new dish from Nick Stellino - onions smothered pot roast. When a recipe starts with 'Chop 3 pounds of onions,' you know it's going to be good. It was meant to be served with baked pasta (as a first course) and garlic mashed potatoes. Too much for us, so I just did the pasta.
This was the result. Barb came over and helped us eat it.
Everyone seems to be settling in up front. Mr. Y Front is still with us and joined his two older brother one morning. Grey is the closest and is about ten. Meanie Jr. is in the middle and about four and then the little one. You can't tell, but Grey and Y Front have the same face markings.
In other news, we saw SCT's latest offering, Infectiously Funny. It was supposed to be a night of fun, light hearted songs from musicals. It wasn't. There was no direction, the lighting and sound was bad and the videography was all over the place. It seemed more like an audition than a polish production. It was very community theatre and we had always congratulated ourselves for breaking that mold and going beyond that. Not so much these days... Most of the songs weren't even from musicals-
This was the highlight song (not ours production)... It's a play on The Girl from Ipanema
