When Suzette left to shop at El Super at around 8:30 I heated the piece of PPI Green Chili Chicken Enchilada Loyda had cut for Jody but left, in the microwave until thoroughly heated while I cooked two eggs and heated water for Manzanilla tea with lime and honey and ate a lovely breakfast. And it removed a plate of food from the fridge.

Suzette returned from Los Lunas at 1:30 and was hungry so she ate the last of the Boeuf Bourguignon with the PPI sushi rice.  I decided to toast a bagel and smear it with cream cheese and garnish it with slices of red onion and bits of whitefish.

At 2:15 I rode to Montano and returned by 3:30.  I ate a piece of toasted banana nut bread spread with boysenberry preserves and drank a cup of hot buttered rum, which seems to be my go to drink this fall.  I watched TCU get beaten by Oklahoma State for a while and then showered and dressed and we drove to Marble Brewery to see its Day of the Dead celebration.  There was a charming alter and a group of booths of various crafts in the parking lot selling jewelry, napkins, and other assorted Knick knacks.  We ordered a double white flavored with berry juice and went upstairs and found a seat at the bar upstairs.  After about fifteen minutes we left for the symphony and said hello to Mark and Laura on our way out.

The symphony tonight was the finals of the Olga Kern piano competition.  There were four finalists, each playing a piano concerto, Tchaikovsky’s First and Rachmaninoff’s Third, both with long difficult piano sections that showed the contestant’s virtuosity.   We left at intermission at 7:30 after the first two contestants played.

We drove home and heated the spaghetti sauce with an addition of ½ cup of Chianti and 16 oz. of water to loosen up the sauce.  Suzette boiled a cup of casarecce macaroni and we ate a simple dinner of spaghetti.  What was really fun was watching TV.  Saturday evenings have become one of our favorite evenings for TV, with a Father Brown, Death in Paradise on PBS and then Saturday Night Live.



We went to bed after the News Update.
