Grocery Store Hopping

The first day of rehearsals.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! To be able to dance again!

Got up around 10:00 with a grand plan to go lounge around the river and read my book for a couple of hours. But, I also really wanted to make some hard-boiled eggs. By the time I cooked them, I only had enough time to get ready and leave for rehearsal.

Admidst the hard-boiling, I realized that tonight was the night that I had to make dinner for the four of us. Without an oven. I didn't realize until then that everything I've ever made came from the oven. Cookies, brownies, baked goods...until now. I sent a crazy e-mail out to my family begging for recipe ideas. Tacos would have been great if there were taco-shells. Same with meatballs--but its no fun without rice-a-roni. I decided that I would figure it out in the grocery store.

Rehearsal was great, even though it was slightly unorganized. It's difficult to compile something with 10 other people. Don't get me wrong, I love working with everyone--it's just hard to find a common idea. However, we found a way of working that pleased everyone. Now we will have to piece the concept together.

And on to the grocery store...which gets easier and easier each time. Chicken, spaghetti noodles, and pasta sauce. Sounds like a meal to me! I realized when I got home, however, that I didn't buy enough food for four. I went back out to another grocery store by the train station. Billa extreme. The largest grocery store I've been in so far in Salzburg! But we're still talking small.

Anyways, I somehow made a good dinner! Parents, aren't you proud? I should have taken pictures. I will save that recipe for a later date.

Tomorrow we have ballet at 10:00, then a meeting with Susan, then another rehearsal. Depending on how late I get to bed tonight (it's pretty late already), I will make some breakfast and walk along the river a little bit in the morning.

Alright. It's late. Guten nacht--for all of you in Salzburg. Guten Abend--for all of you on the East Coast. Guten Tag--for all of you in California.
