Another this and that

 Weird night …there’s been a helicopter circling my house again …

So the governor has declared that we are officially in a drought.  Oh, fun …We are supposed to get some rain later this week, but not nearly enough.  Can I say that I absolutely hate this? 

So annoyed, I went to the supermarket yesterday and bought a couple of bottles of teriyaki sauce.  I was so careful packing up my shopping bags.  Or, at least I thought I was careful.  I apparently cracked one of the bottles when I packed up the car, and it leaked all over the shopping bag.  Ugh.

But I picked up the ham for our Friendsgiving.  I’ve never cooked a ham before. Drew prepared a ham once.  So I’m sure we will figure out what to do with this ham.  We get the frozen turkey on Monday.  

I’m going to make the mushrooms stuffed with Boursin and I’m going to bake gluten free cornbread—  I use a mix but I “doctor” it by adding honey to the batter.  Still haven’t figured out what I’m getting from the gluten free bakery,  But things are coming together.

So I’m already starting to think about what to serve on New Year’s Eve.   Maybe I’ll do crockpot sweet and sour meatballs .

Yes I am enjoying this…

Last night NBC presented an hour-long special about Wicked, really promoting the movie.  Of course I’ve already seen the movie but watched the show anyway,  The show focused on how the movie was developed. Sets, costumes, casting, music … interviews with cast members …no spoilers though …

There were commercials for all the pink and green merchandise…and a promo for the Broadway show … 

Drew wants to see Gladiator II, but I’ve never seen the original.  I think he plans to show it to me …it sounds like the new movie is going to be a huge hit …
