  1. I have a feeling we'll be celebrating tonight! John won Best in Show and
    was handed a nice check for bringing his work to the show. Oh how nice!

    OB Food: He's going to be tired and hungry (!) when he gets back so I'll be
    pan-frying some bay scallops. I'm serving this with steamed broccoli and
    couscous (to which I'll probably add some of the broccoli, carrot, onion and
    sliced garlic). We've got some nice sourdough bread so I may toast a couple
    of slices of that, too.

    John? Seems like there's been a lot of Johns. Which John will you be
    entertaining tonight. Best in show... if he's a stallion I'm sure it
    will be nice.

    It's not a question of where he grips it!
    It's a simple question of weight ratios!

    A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

    Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

    How wonderful! I hope that one of these days, one of John's shows
    will be in or near New York and we will finally meet. Meanwhile,
    congratulations and I hope that your celebration was all you expected
    and more. Hugs, M

    nicer when it's accompanied by cash. <g>

    The Arts in the Park art show. He's an oil painter 🙂

    We wound up going to dinner rather than me cooking. Bayou Bar & Grill. Sat
    out on the patio with the misters going and it didn't feel like it was 95F
    in the shade!

    http://www.bayoubarandgrill.com/menu.htm

    John had the Fettucini Acadian and I had the Cajun Shrimp Jacuzzi. We met
    the guy who bakes their baguettes; he and his wife and two daughters were
    eating there. Yummy food and definitely something I plan to re-create at
    home.

    After dinner we went to Circuit Playhouse and saw Edward Albee's latest,
    "The Goat". Hiliarious! The funny thing was, we arrived a bit late so the
    guy at the box office waited until there was a fade-out with lighting on the
    stage and then escorted us like we were Royalty to the empty 2nd row. We
    both felt the actors on stage thought we must be someone important... they
    were "playing" to us the entire remainder of the performance. If the play
    itself wasn't funny (which it was) that was!

    Yes, you do! Oh, gosh... and if he hasn't sold the painting of the little
    girl in the blue dress I think I know someone who would adore this!

    And I'm sure he'd love to hear himself referred to this way... it's so
    professional, you know, when you Google and find stuff out about people!
    Uh, well yes dear, it's your art work. But also uh, you are, you are known
    as a German/Polish Stallion LOL

    for 35 years... what have you done besides go to IHOP and expect good food
    and good service? Sheesh and Geezelpeets!

    Congratulations to John! It's always nice to see one's work
    recognized by people who know what they're talking about.
