Day 159/160:
My little Muffin Man sketch
My sister had a choir concert at the high school. We have to drop her off at least an hour before the concert starts so she can warm up with the group. My dad was reading his emails aloud and I was sketching in my book. I’m trying to draw a larger version of my “Muffin man.” I finish the sketch just as the lights start to dim and the principal tells the audience to silence their phones and remain quiet during the performance. I snap a quick picture and get ready for the singing. We managed to secure some seats in the front row. Jenny of course stands off to the side so we have trouble filming her with my dad’s giant camcorder.
After the concert ends, everyone bows and we grab Jenn and jump into the car. My dad has this tradition that after a concert we race down to the Dairy Queen and get some ice cream. We started doing this when I was in fifth grade and started playing the violin. I always get a double fudge cookie dough blizzard and my dad and sister get dipped cones. We try to get there early so we beat the rush of other students from the concert who have the same idea.
Tonight my dad was craving some teriyaki. I offered to cook potstickers and rice at home while he went over to pick up some chicken teriyaki. We mixed the take-out rice with my rice and I arranged the food as neatly as I could on the plate. So a homemade (well semi-homemade) meal turned into just a takeout. The food was delicious and the take out rice tasted way better than mine. I’m still trying to find a good method of preparing rice. 🙂
