Neo Indoor Picnic
Well, my goodness, it is just pouring BUCKETS in Boston! Pouring, pouring, pouring rain ever since yesterday. That did not keep me from having a full and busy day though!
This morning the Neo ladies and I visited the artistic directors of another local dance company to audition to be the opening act for their upcoming performance. This company is larger than ours, and their shows are well attended, since they have an established audience here in Boston. My dancers performed their piece well, and now we must wait! We will probably know by the middle of the week whether or not we will be in the performance. Keep your fingers crossed - it would be a great opportunity for my company!
Since we had to meet at a dance studio in the city at noon, this put a wrench in our normal rehearsal schedule. I offered the girls a stop-over lunch at my house on the way to rehearsal in the North Shore. It was such fun!
I absolutely love entertaining, and nothing makes me happier than seeing my dining room table filled with dancers! We had a tasty lunch of Carrot-Ginger Soup, recipe here. This is one of my new favorite go-to recipes. I recommend doubling the batch, otherwise it will be gone in an instant!
I hope that you are staying warm, toasty and DRY wherever you are!

My fingers and my toes are crossed for you!
Consider my fingers and toes also crossed! Also, I just read Winter Season this morning and finished watching Frederick Wiseman's BALLET documentary, so I'm overflowing with dance energy today, even though I'm sick and raw.
Hey Madame Cost, I have discovered an awesome song that I think would be AMAZING for some choreography, and I just wanted to throw it your way in case it sparked anything for you! Here's their Myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/jaggery
Their music is gorgeous. The song is called "Malachite"--it's the third one up from the bottom. I'd love to know what you thought of it!
Me too, with the carrot ginger soup! It's so easy to make and yummy.
what a fun way to spend an afternoon--and I will keep my fingers crossed for you!
How much fun to have a room full of friends, and a nice warm soup of a rainy day. Have a great weekend
Well?
Was Neo choosen?
I am on pins and needles here.
It looks like you had a lovely soup party!
p.s. thanks so much for the kind comments about our new house. :D
Okay, I would normally boycott carrot soup, but that recipe does look really darn good. I'm going to give that a try - it'll be nice considering the fact it's sort of chilly outside still.
