T Stands for English Muffins and More Babble

 Hi everyone. 

Another week has flown by, and it is already T Day once again over at  Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog. It's time to share your drink related post. My drink this week goes with my lunch one day, but I'll get to that in a bit.

Last week I decorated the house for this holiday season. I'd decided to go minimalist this year, but like every other time I decide to only put out a few things, I start having so much fun that  I don't end up being very minimalist at all. 😏

I also went to see a holiday play with some friends one afternoon last week, which was lots of fun as I haven't done that in a long long time. And the play was quite festive and well done too. 

The Musical Hall is a vintage performing arts center in downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire. They work closely with the Ogunquit Playhouse from Ogunquit, Maine. (Ogunquit isn't very far north up the road from Portsmouth as Portsmouth sits right on the border of Maine.) Elf was actually being presented by the Ogunquit Playhouse, but since their theater isn't winterized, it was being performed at the Music Hall.

I'm always fascinated by the sets, lighting and how they can change the scene right in front of you while you are totally engrossed in what the actors are doing. They didn't allow photos or videos during the performance, which only makes sense, so above is the stage before the play began and below is the photo at intermission.

You can see the stage area better here. I love the old private booths (no longer used for guests). I should have taken photos of the wooden seats (no  cushions) and the wooden floor. There's also a balcony on the sides and behind us. Last time I was at the Music Hall I sat up there during an evening when author Amor Towles  talked about writing and his books. Over the years I've been here for small venue concerts, to see other guest speakers and even watch films. 

 I'm not trying to be weird, but I have to show you the bathroom, which reminds me of a Hobbit House. It is definitely unique. Also, if people had been in the bathroom, I wouldn't have taken any photos.

The doors to each stall were decorated for the holiday, and notice the walls and the curve of the floor tiles.

And here's the common area where you can wash your hands.

Someone walked in right after I took these  2 photos so that was the end of my photos.

 And for T this week, let me share one of my lunches. 

One evening last week I made some homemade sourdough English muffins. (Recipe is here: KA Sourdough English muffins). I've made these before, but not for a long while.

And during my last trip to Trader Joe's for some groceries, I discovered this spread.

And so I combined the 2 with a bit of cheddar cheese for my lunch one day. You can also see my drink, which is a  Diet Coke I'd been drinking over a couple of days. 

Please excuse the clutter on my coffee table. I was actually reading as I ate that day, but stacked everything up to get a photo for T.

That's all for me this week. Hopefully it wasn't another too long post. Have a great T day and week ahead.
