The Stage Is Nearly Set …

We are nearly one week away from opening night and tonight for rehearsal we did the whole show in costumes. My costume changed a bit for the policeman because now I have this very small Bobby hat. It barely fits. The group did a fantastic job tonight. There were a few hiccups but that was because of one guy who hasn’t been at barely any rehearsals. so he missed cues and more. It was annoying but we’ll get him up to speed and he’s in scenes with me. Sunday begins tech week so a full day there.

Shrimp and Mushroom Bouillon Soup …

One of the things that I do because of Virta is have a couple of Bouillon cubes each day for sodium. I’m not a fan of straight up drinking the stuff so in order to get some additional protein and veggies I have made it more interesting with mushrooms, green onions and little shrimp. I can pick up cans of tiny shrimp and get 4 soups out of it. I can also get cans of mushrooms and get the same amount across the soups. I wanted some additional veggies so I added green onions which you can get a bunch for cheap. They add flavor and veggies. So Each day I make a couple of these soups to get the sodium as well as protein and veggies. Taste pretty good, too.
