September 16, 2017 Lunch – Costco. Dinner – Mansion Players Dinner Theater at Center for Ageless Living

It was a busy food shopping day but not a very big food eating day.

I ate the last of the Gravad Lax on a red pepper and cheese bialy and we then rode to Rio Bravo.  Then I showered and dressed and we drove to the Farmer’s Market down the street and bought a loaf of whole wheat bread for $6.00 from the French Le Quiche baker and eight lovely ears of multicolored native corn from a grower in Espanola for $10.00.

We the drove to Costco, where we bought Yukon Gold potatoes, romaine lettuce hearts, shredded cheddar and Monterrey jack cheese, a velocity of Dubliner cheddar, a triple source Swiss Gruyere AOP cheese, half and half heavy whipping cream, portobello mushrooms, cleaning supplies, and a case of New Belgium beer.  Then we ate
Polish dogs.  Suzette ate hers without the bun and I only ate ½ of my bun.

We then went home and rested and Suzette made us a snack of PPI green mole with Pork, chayote, and black beans over PPI mashed potatoes and we split a beer.   I watched TCU beat SMU 59 to 39 and then we drove to Los Lunas to the Center for Ageless Living for the dinner theater presentation on the stage in the park by the Mansion Players, which is a community drama group, that put together a musical review about New Mexico politics, delivered in the form of altered lyrics to popular songs of the 50s and 60s.  It was quite clever and entertaining.  At intermission each person was delivered a plastic box with their choice of either a Cesar Salad with three real anchovies topped with slices of roasted chicken and a piece of grilled focaccia or a chicken salad sandwich and a small green salad with choice of dressing.  Suzette and I chose the Cesar salad.

After dinner delicious Bischochito cup cakes were distributed to all.

It rained heavily during the performance but the stage and tent held up well to the assault of rain and wind.   The performance ended after 9:00, so we drove home in the dark with lightning dramatically lighting the sky in jagged lines.

When we arrived home the Texas USC game was still going and with a minute to go Texas was ahead, but then USC tied with a field goal and went on to win in an exciting double overtime finish.

I could not sleep so I watched San Diego State College beat No. 19 ranked Stanford in an exciting game marked by a 19 minute delay due to the failure of the stadium lighting system at 3 minutes 58 seconds to play in the fourth quarter.  So a fabulous day of entertainment, lots of good food shopping, but no food cooking.

Bon Appetit
