busy busy busy
Most of the advance prep for the Purim feast is now done (which is good, as it's almost Shabbat). Tonight lorimelton and ralphmelton valiantly peeled and chopped the veggies I'll need first thing in the morning while I hard-boiled a gross of eggs and did some other stuff. Ralph taught me a trick for peeling eggs (which, he pointed out, is described in a book I own): it's easier to peel them if, after soaking in cold water immediately after cooking, you then put them back in the pot and bounce them around to crack (but not remove) the shells. I don't want to actually peel them this far in advance, but things should be much easier Sunday morning now.
Last night the autocrat took me shopping at Sam's Club (I don't have a membership), where I sometimes got items that would have cost me twice as much for half as much at Giant Eagle. Yay, Sam's. Selection is limited, though, so I still have to pick up a few things. (They had no almonds, spinach, or parsnips, for instance.) Last night we also delivered much of the food and all of the gear to the site, which will also make things much easier on Sunday.
The event has been keeping me very busy this week, and work has also been hectic (not that I can directly read LJ at work anyway), so it's probably safest to assume that I won't catch up on the last few days. If there's something I should see, please tell me? Thanks.
