Awake: 5:54am Temp 43 Sleep 7+10 morning rain
overnight@Nicktown.


We drive to our community center & join the immigrant coffee club members
for an hr. After breakfast, Kathy begins making food for our grandson,
Andrew’s, Baptismal celebration tomorrow. Since Saint Andrew was a
fisherman, she and Melissa have decided that fish will be the theme for
their culinary endeavors.

She starts with a halibut divan casserole, then a halibut lasagna
casserole. The halibut was flown in with the senior Footes on Tuesday but
Kevin had caught it in Alaska during 2004.

Next, finger sandwiches made from whole wheat bread, cut in the shape of
crosses, fishes & stars. Each sandwich was spread with one of 5 spreads
which Kathy made; tuna Curry, tuna salsa, tomato bacon, garden veggie or
egg salad. In addition, each sandwich had a toothpick flag identifying
the flavor of spread. About 25 sandwiches were made. Kathy also made a
huge mixed salad. And wait, there’s more: whole wheat, cut out sugar
cookies in a fish design individually painted with colored frosting.

Meanwhile in Indiana, Melissa is adding homemade French bread in the shape
of a fishes, wild & white rice, plus an editable “fish pond” made of cream
cheese “water” tinted blue with pretzel sticks & carrots sticks for
fishing poles, & miniature gold fish crackers to catch.

Kathy literally spent the rest of the morning, all afternoon & some of the
evening cooking, making those toothpick flags & painting the cookies to
look more fishy.

What did I do to contribute to this worthy cause you ask? Well ahem, I
stayed away from her galley & took some photos of her artwork from a
distance + ran an errand to town for some food coloring & sharp cheddar
cheese….. & also looked thru more of my motorhome magazines.

7:45 dinner: Hamburger ghoulish over whole wheat noodles, spinach salad &
toast.

No movies tonight: I was rather exhausted from Kathy’s busy day.
