Friday the 27th: Pie and bookstores

 On Tuesday I forgot to include the picture of the triple berry rhubarb pie with ice cream. We also visited a bookstore so I needed to remember what I should buy for the Husband after our move.

 

 

Thursday the 26th: Food of the Week

 *Sunday we had chili; I always use this recipe from Penzeys and make the full batch because the Husband really loves chili.We also for supper made a banana walnut salad with homemade vinaigrette.

*Monday I made tacos, this time with ground beef, seasoning, frozen hashbrowns, onion, and frozen corn.

*Tuesday I made Bratwurst Potato skillet with potatoes, onion, apples, brats, and then a little bit of sugar and butter to make a sauce. It's one of my favorites.

*Wednesday I had a concert so we had leftovers and food from McDonald's.

*Tonight we are having pasta because I'm craving it. 

*Friday the boy is making red lentil buffalo sloppy joes. He picked it out. I shrugged. 

Wednesday the 25th: Music of the Week

 *We have a concert tonight with the other two Catholic high schools in our county, so our two biggest choirs are performing three songs each. We will keep these songs around though for our large group State festival in April, and then we will move to songs for our final concert.

*Tomorrow our chamber group sings a chant for Offertory Mass with the Archbishop, and then our A Cappella group sings a communion meditation, Crucifixus by Lotti.

*I have two Palm Sunday Masses this weekend at two different parishes.

*And then I have a Good Friday service and two Easter services.

So lots of work to do! 

Tuesday the 24th: Ladybird Diner

 One of our favorite meals while we were on our trip was a light lunch at Ladybird Diner. We had a huge breakfast so we didn't need much, but this tomato soup and southwestern salad with fruit and a piece of pie for dessert hit the spot!

 

 

 

 

Monday the 23rd: Saint of the Week

 *Wednesday this week is the Annunciation of Mary, as described in Luke 1, when she accepted the call to become the mother of Jesus.

Wednesday the 18th: Music of the Week

 *This week I don't need to prep for any Masses and I don't have school, so...

I'm playing one song a day to get ready for Palm Sunday.

I'm working on two instrumental accompaniments and four vocal accompaniments a day.

Today is the optional memorial/commemoration of St. Cyril of Jerusalem, Doctor of the Church. 

 

 

Tuesday the 17th: Signs of Spring

 *Yes, yes, flowers are a good sign of spring. But so are dry spaces where there was leaking in the basement, saying that you can finally really repair the drywall.
