has been invited onto a neighbor’s deck to do balloons for all the kiddos, as its another group of softball participants this week. He’s finding that it’s easier to learn one and practice it at home a few times than to perform before an audience. Today he learned to do a hat, including a jester’s hat, baseball cap and flower hat. He finally got home at 10 p.m.
Tonight I made skewers again with chicken and the Indonesian-inspired sauce. This time I made the sauce early, cut up the chicken and marinated it for an hour in about 1/4 of the sauce/marinade then made the skewers, grilled them and then brushed on the rest of the sauce or poured it over rice. It was very tasty with red pepper, scallion, water chestnuts (I wanted crunch but over 50% of them broke) and pineapple.
A quiet weekend, except for all the balloon squeaking and breakage going on! Dog Zoe will be glad when Jim goes to work tomorrow so she can work on her beauty sleep! Cheers, Dee
Cooking with Dee 
The coolest was the guitar, which I played. I don’t even have a photo of one and he gave them all away. He only made about four, and each was different. One was more of a mandolin, one a uke, and the last was shaping up as a banjo before it popped. Dee
