The missing 5.5 is underway, and the reaction has been crazy. Only a couple of complaints, just cranky people. Other than that, a lot of people are into this contest. This week will be nuts. There are so many things happening with Mr. K. I want to thank Rob and Renee for helping me out by recording voices for me!
This past week, I was so busy at work, it was just a big blur. Thursday night, my friend and I took a bunch of stinky mackeral that I had thawed (I'm not cooking it) and we took it to the beach. Problem is, PEI seagulls are not like Ontario seagulls. Ontario seagulls are like papparazzi on Paris Hilton when it comes to food. PEI seagulls just look at you and run away when you throw fish at them. One lowly seagull, who likely was a tourist at some of the mackeral. It was really uneventful. But I had a great time walking on the beach. I also found some wierd shell...I had never seen one like that before.
Friday night I went to see Hairspray with my friend Brittany. George Wendt (Norm from Cheers) was hysterical and the entire show was as good as a Broadway Musical. I have to get my mom a ticket for when she visits next week. I don't have any pictures from the evening, even though I went to the reception after. I was wearing killer heels, and I was really tired. So I took off before the entire cast got there.
Saturday I worked. I went for a jog in the morning in the rain, and then in the afternoon I went to the Red Sands Potato Festival in Victoria By the Sea. Chef Michael Smith was there. Women go gaga over this guy. I did not. I went more gaga over George Wendt. The premise of the evening was that you bought a ticket for a bowl made by a local potter. Then, you got to eat Chef Smith's famous seafood chowder, and all kinds of stuff that had potatoes in it. I chose not to eat, because it got crazy busy. I was lucky enough to get one of the bowls though. There was also a band there, 3 young boys, 14, 15, and 16 who provided traditional Island music. They were AMAZING. I could have listened to them all afternoon.
Anyways, I had my picture taken with a potato man and a lobster man, and here is a quick clip of the boys who played Island music.
Today I cleaned, did laundry and made chicken tettrazzini ( I am spelling it wrong, and I really don't care) sloppy joes and a roasted chicken with vegetables. The plan is to cook a whole lot on Sunday when I have time and then not have to worry about food for at least 3 days during the week.
So Mom visits next week. I am realizing all of the things I need to get before she arrives, like a nighttable for the spare room, a paring knife, and a kitchen table and chairs. lol. Oh well, mumsy may have to eat in the living room on the couch and of off the coffee table. It will be like the old days at Christmas at Aunt Rose's when there were so many people they had to eat at the couch, and I usually sat on the floor.
