Hubs is feeling a bit better; he says now he’s mostly just very tired. He didn’t go to mass so I brought Holy Communion home to him; he watched mass on tv; I set the dvr to record mass every Sunday just in case. He went back to bed and slept while I went to the fundraiser. Then after our daughter and GF left, he took another nap, but now still tired.
Although I said I’d arrive to help at the fundraiser at noon, I didn’t get there until about 12:25 due to the mass running long since a new deacon was being celebrated but it turned out they already had plenty of volunteers to set up so I was assigned the task of collecting the admission fee. When the noon mass let out, we had a stream of folks ‘following their noses’ to the wonderful spaghetti sauce smell. The chef is Italian and you had a choice of marinara or meat sauce. Daughter and DG showed up about 2:15 so I was relieved from my post. All 3 of us went with the meat sauce and it was so tasty with the Italian seasonings and garlic. There was salad and big rolls. And of course, dessert. There had only been 4 people who signed up to bring desserts so the lady in charge of the dessert table had sent out an email last Wednesday requesting others to bring some since we were expecting about 150 people. The Vincentiens outdid themselves, there were so many desserts. My chocolate chip cookie brownie bars turned out the best I’ve ever made them. Although there were so many different types of brownies that there were 7 of mine left so I brought them home and let the girls take 2 each and Hubs and I will share the 3 remaining. The wife of the gent that I was working the admissions table with brought over some PB blossom cookies and I remarked that they are one of my favorites. She asked if I wanted her to bring some to me but I didn’t want to eat cookies before spaghetti so I asked if she would be willing to put some into the Longaberger basket that I had brought in the room where we put our outerwear and umbrellas. She was willing and so I have 2 PB blossom cookies that I will have with some milk later. When leaving, there were some blondies in that room so I took one as I’ve never had them before. Very good. We have a SVdP meeting on Tuesday evening and I’m going to ask for the recipe.
Daughter and DG came over for a short visit with Hubs and to return his glasses to him.
Taters I also seem to watch a lot of TV. I watched The Great British Baking Show this evening; it’s the series with Dan Hunter as one of the contestants; I love his smile and he’s pretty easy on the eyes. Do you possibly get The Great Canadian Baking Show? I thought possibly since you’re in Washington that you might get CBC like we in the Mitten do.
This morning the temp was supposedly 59F but with the wind and the dampness from the overnight rain, it felt much cooler.
I’m another in the group of being somewhat uncomfortable in a social situation. I’m just not good at small talk at all.
On Friday Hubs bought all the ingredients that he needs to make chili but it’s going to be 80F for the next few days so that won’t be happening anytime soon.
Daughter won’t go there because of their politics, so I don’t either.
Husker fans are known to be extremely polite and gracious to visiting teams and fans. Now the ones who go to rallies and cheer when the speaker says it would be ok to take out certain CA cities, I have to wonder about. And don’t go to Madison for a Badger football game if you don’t want to get soaked by a cup of beer or hit by a battery or worse.
you ninja’d me on this line 
if its non-perishable, can you donate it to a food pantry?
Oh heck, that’s just half hour 18 miles from where daughter’s BFF lives. Will need to check on her and her family.
when you drink some that has been freshly pressed and bottled, it’s like nectar of the gods, much better than what you get in a grocery store.
oh, oh, oh, that reminds me that I want to go to the tree nursery and buy a pink dogwood tree.
Well that’s all that fit to write as another mmp winds down. See you on the flip side.
