Well I did get the part in the play I was hoping for, but you'll be hearing more about that as the actual performances gets closer. Tonight I got to enjoy a different kind of theater. Some friends and I went to Takaoka Steak House to enjoy a Japanese dinner prepared in front of us. The food was very good, and very plenteous. I brought home lots of fried rice and other goodies. Since my date doesn't eat rice I got to bring his home also. So I think I have at least two suppers worth of leftovers. Some people loath leftovers but I think they are an excellent invention. Growing up in a house with two large brothers I really wasn't familiar with the concept until I left home (but I digress). The show was what made the evening so much fun. I would like to try bouncing an egg on the flat side of a spatula. Our chef kept it bouncing at least 15 times before he turned the spatula sideways and the egg cracked on it on it's way down. I would really love to try that trick but perhaps I will start with a hardboiled egg, or better yet a plastic Easter egg. I also enjoyed the flaming onion ring volcano but I will definitely not be trying that one at home. And I really don't even want to be able to flip shrimp tails into my pocket but it was fun to watch. Years ago we took my then four-year-old granddaughter to Takaoka and she was so entranced with the show that she didn't eat a bite. The same is definitely not true for me. I can multitask with the best of them, eating copiously and watching the show all at the same time. It probably comes from years of practice snacking in front of the TV.
