I spent most of the day with Ricardo hanging the Florence Pierce pieces in the stairwell.
I had a meeting with Jay this morning and he brought his ladder to help us gain access to the stairwell wall.
We went to Lowe’s for parts at noon and I dropped Ricardo off at his house at 1:00.
I went to a 1:30 meeting and then stopped at Cynthia and Ricardo’s house on the way home, where Cynthia showed me several great recipes in a recent issue of Real Simple magazine, including an Italian Wedding Meatball recipe with creamed Cauliflower.
At 3:00 I fetched the Posole and ate a couple of bowls of it for a late lunch.
Billy, Elaine, and Rebecca arrived just before 5:00. I fetched the red sauce for Suzette and then started making guacamole with avocado, onion, cilantro, salt, lime juice, and Cholula hot sauce. Suzette and Rebecca made the enchilada casserole by softening the blue corn tortillas in chicken stock flavored with red sauce and laying a layer of tortillas in a 13 X 9 inch pyrex baking dish with successive layers of cottage cheese, chicken, spinach, shredded longhorn and mozzarella cheeses, more tortillas and finally a garnish of powdered cojita cheese.
By 6:30 Ricardo had finished hanging the 3 Florence Pierces and we said goodbye to Ricardo, who had a lovely dinner of Italian Wedding Meat balls on puréed cauliflower waiting for him at home with Cynthia.
We started dinner with bowls of Posole and then ate the enchilada casserole with beers, crema, and guacamole. Finally we made decaf coffee and ate pieces of mocha cake and fresh made whipped cream flavored with about 1 T. of confectioners sugar and a dash of vanilla extract.
After dinner I gave Billy a tour of the recent art acquisitions.
Here is a picture of the new Florence Pierces in their new home in our stairwell.

Bon Appetit
