friday night: center stage
Retired Mountain Lady, also a member of Hope Mountain Blues and the Cougar Creek Band, plays with Running With Scissors on Friday nights at Trinity restaurant. Last week was supposed to have been the last gig, but the band was asked back for one more Friday night before winter sets in…
Winter. Not a happy thought.
DMP and I nabbed a table right up front, ordered ravioli and burgers and caught the last two sets as the sun went down and the air chilled.
Retired Mountain Lady never sounded better. The woman never stops playing music!!!
We like that about her.

friday night at the studio
Friday night–after the grapes and the wine and the music–continued at DMP’s niece’s students’ art show here:
One of my favorites!
This reminds me of a Kaffe Fassett quilt!
We had a blast here. I wished I could take one of Holly’s classes and release my inner artist, but I’m not sure I have an inner artist. I guess you don’t know until you look, right? Paint scares me a little. Unlike fabric, which begs me to buy it and cut it up and sew it back together again.
My inner artist likes cotton.

NEXT STOP: FOOD AND MUSIC (the night’s not over)!

stompin’ grapes
Last Friday night Dancing Mandolin Player thought we might get in on some grape-stompin’ action at this winery in downtown Sandpoint. No such luck! I’m not sure if they would have let wine-soaked patrons into the vats, but this is north Idaho and you never know. DMP is keeping an eye on this, just in case there’s a chance to stomp in the future.
There was music, though. And wine.
That’s a pretty darn good combination.

chocolate champagne?
According to Southern Gourmet, this product is stored frozen and then added to champagne as needed.

I wonder if there is a recipe out there somewhere, or if it would be better to order the chocolate mix and have it in the freezer for special dock parties.

free books on kindle
I just came across this list while surfing Amazon. The top 100 free books! It’s quite an array of new authors, established authors, fiction and nonfiction.

the best burgers ever. really.
I’m really sorry you couldn’t taste these.
Our friend Nebraska Jack sent us some of his specially ground hamburger. He raises his own beef. And he grinds the burger with bacon.
With bacon.
I’d never heard of this combo before, but I could be behind the times when it comes to gourmet burger-grinding.
These bacon-burgers were so good.
A band should have played.
Fireworks should have exploded over the mountains.
Angels should have sung.
The birds–well, you get the idea.
I shall ask Nebraska Jack when I see him next month if this particular recipe is a secret blend or available to anyone with (a) hamburger and (b) bacon.
I will get details, I promise, because the world needs more of these.
Nebraska Dick and Nebraska Jack.
