Very Busy Day

First of all it was a hot and busy day at work, that lead into cleaning and organizing the apartments above the theatre that are used as prop rooms now. They were filthy, dirty, dusty, and hot as well. A handful of us attacked them though for the second week in a row and are making very good progress.

In a few more weeks they'll be organized and much easier to access for everyone in the theatre. After that I checked the lights for the musical 1776. I liked how they were set for the most part but will have to make a couple of changes. Mostly the gels will have to be switched out on the light bar in front of the stage.

The pickles are very good but I would like to change the recipe a little and add less canning salt. It called for a quarter of a cup for a gallon and honestly you can taste it and it taste competes with the garlic, onion, and dill and that shouldn't be happening. The second thing I'll change is putting them into the fridge immediately as they are crisp and crunchy but not as crunchy as the last batch from the alternate recipe.

This evening I'm making homemade grilled pizza again. It won't happen next week as I'll be in tech week rehearsals for 1776. So this week is it for a couple of weeks for Wednesday night cooking!
