I had a great weekend. (this entry could stop with that one sentence)
Scott came up Friday night. We had dinner at the Salem Beer Works, and I allowed myself to have a beer. One.
Saturday, we ran a few errands, including a trip to Shubies. But all we really did was spend some time together, and it was enjoyable. I made Chocolate Toffee Wedges that were absolutely amazing.
For dinner last night, I did ham and cheese sandwiches with tomato soup. It was with good ingredients and roasted tomatoes. It was pretty awesome.
This morning, I made french toast with bacon. I’ve written about that before. My french toast kicks ass.
This evening was our chorus Thanksgiving dinner. Imagine hosting a dinner for 120 people. That’s just not practical. So we break it up into smaller dinner parties of about 10 people per house. I went to the house of Christopher, my chorus buddy, dropping Scott off at the T on my way there.
Christopher served ham instead of turkey, which was brilliant. By the end of the week, we’re going to be tired of turkey anyway. I made some herb-roasted potatoes, which came out awesome. I had about 7 pounds of potatoes (for 10 people) and I think my big mixing bowl had about two cups of chopped herbs in it. These taters had plenty of green on them, including dill, rosemary, thyme, and chives. As we sat down to eat, the first thing I heard was someone complimenting my potatoes. At a table full of gay men who had all brought food, that made me feel good.
After all of the dinner parties, the whole group met up at a restaurant in the south end for dessert. That was fun, but I didn’t stick around too long. I love hanging out with my chorus boys, but I’ve had a long weekend, and I just wanted to come home and chill for a while.
After being on steroids for two weeks, my body is freaking out a bit. I haven’t had acne this bad since I was 17. Seriously. Every time I look in the mirror, there is a new pimple. I actually had to buy acne control facial scrub. I’ve been off those meds since Wednesday, so hopefully the acne will settle down quickly. It’s incredibly frustrating for a gay men to have pimples.
