*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.
*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.
St. Patrick is the saint tomorrow. Do I really need to tell you anything about him?
*I found fabric for my sister on Mass St. in Lawrence. She loves blue (so do I) so I chose a couple fat quarters.
*I finally explored Weaver's, the classic department store in Lawrence. It was smaller than I expected, but had all the crazy dresses and departments that I expected. I'm glad I got to see it.
Bottom picture is some muffins I made last week for our concert. They were pound cake muffins with sesame in them. Well received for a "lenten" muffin with what I had on hand.
Sunday the Son made Pot Roast and Red Lobster biscuits. He didn't quite get the proportions correct but it was still good, and we just finished the leftovers last night.
Monday I made homemade Philly Cheesesteaks after the Husband shaved the beef. They were delicious; usually I buy preshaved steak from Aldi, and I think these probably tasted just as good as those. I always add sauteed peppers and onions.
Tuesday we had Potato Galette with leftover roast/potatoes/gravy rewarmed together. The galette had no leftovers; I was told to make two, but it's too much work to do that (potatoes have to be 1/8 inch thickness).
Wednesday we had leftover pork (shredded) from the deep freeze in the crockpot with Anchiote Sauce. We also had leftover potatoes smashed and cooked at 400 for 15-20 minutes with salt/pepper/olive oil/butter, and then frozen broccoli in the microwave. It was not our favorite but still quite good.
Tonight was supposed to be chicken and pasta (like a piccata) but my day has filled up and I already told the Husband he's in charge of picking up supper.
Friday will be a ramen coleslaw.
*This week is mostly recovery from last week with continued progress on solos, a few new songs to slowly work on for the last concert of the year, and keeping up with Lent music. I need to remember to ask for Holy Week music this week so I can start piecing away at that.
My mom has developed a fascination with the indigenous people of Kansas, and I knew she would want to see the report on the restoration of this sacred rock to its people.
