Pero theatre trip

A Saturday with my mother and two nieces (10 and 8 years old)

The lunch went down well, for the main course:

1) a base of couscous and soya (no tumeric: Sophia has a phobia of all things spicy) with some veg (grean beans) and prunes

2) fried turkey breasts adding cashew nuts at the end (so as to soak up some of the juices)

3) pour into baking dish the "base" (couscous, soya, veg, prunes) and then add on top the turkey and cashews

4) bake/grill for 5 - 10 minutes

serve with pesto and/or sweet chilly sauce. Possible variations:

1) add pumpkin or sunflower seeds at the baking stage?

2) add walnuts or brazil nuts stage

3) spinach <-- delicious but not so good for children who like blander flavour

4) tuna or salmon stakes instead of turkey

The theatre was great, a stylish puppet theatre with operatic themes. The younger couple (washing girl & baker) were attractive, dance in a puppet like movement and sung nicely. They were slightly coquetish: very theatrical displays of legs and playful taps :) The pretty washer girl with curly brown hair had very rouge, which looked grat on her pale complexion. The baker looked slim, athletic and neat altogether a simple but vaguely handsome young man.

The older couple (the sun and the moon) were the music and song which drove the theatre. She had a very powerful, saprano voice, I expect she was an ex-opera singer. They played a wide range of instruments: keyboard, percussion, sax, ...

The whole arrangement had a rather traditioning Victorian style, there is little in this show which would have looked obviuosly out of place 100 years ago? Not so clearly visible there were: amplifers, spot lights, synthizer

For supper (with Mum & Nadjib), I did a nice salad: bed of spinach leaves, cherry tomatos, roasted figs (it is the season), asparagus, olives, feta cheese (cows milk?), rapeseed oil and balsamic vinegar.
