Leisurely Sunday and a Concert

Yesterday (Sunday) was leisurely and pleasant, except for finding our newspaper soaking up the water in the ditch. Hubbie was none too happy about having to drive a couple of miles to a vending machine to get a dry one. He'll no doubt register a complaint about it.

Lunch was very tasty, though. We tried a new recipe I'd found online for Spanish chicken served over a bed of rice. It's a challenge to find palatable no-salt or low-salt recipes, but this one's a keeper.

In the late afternoon, we attended a flute choir concert at a local college. The choir (mainly women) is made up of flutists from the community, the college, and the high school. They present free concerts a couple of times a year, and since we know several of the members, we try to attend whenever we can.

A reception, with refreshments, follows the concerts, and these are usually held on the lawn, but yesterday was a bit windy, misty, and cool to be outdoors, so it was held in the same room where the concert was performed. Refreshments included fresh fruit, fresh veggies and dip, thinly sliced white cheeses and crackers, a hot cheese and tomato dip, fruity muffins, and brownies. I was a good girl and stuck with the fresh fruits, veggies, and half a muffin.
