“Play”ing with my food
Have I ever told you all that I love to act? If I see a stage… I want to be on it! If I see a costume… I want to be in it! If I see a microphone… I want to sing karaoke!
Ok, karaoke isn’t acting. But, I have been doing some real acting at the local theatre for the past few months. Local theatre is a great way to get to know people when you’ve just moved (as I have!) and don’t really have many friends in town yet (now I do!) I’m performing a tiny little role in a big, dramatic production and I’m having so much fun!
Carrots, spinach, eggplant and sweet potatoes in our organic delivery box this week.
Too much fun to eat, apparently. When I started thinking about what to post this week I realised I hadn’t really been cooking much as rehearsals got more intense last week and performances started this week. There’s been a lot of toast, especially peanut butter toast. Lots of sauteed vegetables from my new organic veg delivery service, dumped into a big pot with some chicken broth and blended into soup. Tons of take-away salads and Diet Cokes. But… not much else.
I’m sorry! I would like to say that I’ll do better next week, but next week we’ll be performing every night and twice on Saturday. It’s looking like another week of wonton soup and Indian take-away for us. But I’ll be back soon, I promise! In the meantime, leave me your ideas for a great dinner I can make next Sunday night to celebrate the end of all this hard work and take-away food.

Sounds like you are having a blast! I love karaoke but have never had the guts to really get involved in acting of any kind (a few bit parts in high school) so I’m a little jealous of your comfort on the stage. But don’t worry about the food… if you’re having fun that’s what is important (just keep us updated on the play
)

Wow, fun! Perhaps you can post a you-tube clip of your role???? Would love to see it!
And I know what you mean–isn’t peanut butter toast a wonderful quick bite? Lots of take-away here, lately, as well.
I haven’t any ideas for posts… I’m feeling rather like soup lately, with this cold weather.

More peanut butter toast! Thanks for stopping by my blog…and don’t worry: if the English people you know are anything like the English people I know, you’ll have plenty of chances to cook for your castmates soon enough, because they’ll adore having as much good home-cooked food as you can give them!

Congrats and good luck w/ your role! Sounds like a lot of fun! I know how it is when you don’t have time/ambition to cook. You’ll be back at it soon enough

Hope the acting was fun!
I’m sure you will do plenty of cooking on the run-up to Xmas to make up for your cooking break.
