So I thought I was all done with theatre in Atlanta, at least for the foreseeable future. As it turns out, I'm coming back for One! More! Play!--their original designer dropped out at the last minute (or, more likely, the artistic director assumed that person was doing it but didn't actually ask). It's not going to be particularly exciting--the playwright's pretty much chosen all the music--but it'll be nice to have a bit of extra money for moving costs, expecially since I only worked two weeks in May.

In other news, I'm going to post the recipe for my version of the super-tasty Portuguese* pasta salad I made the other night. It's a little iffy, since I had to type it into Babelfish before I could understand it, but the results are stellar.

*Well actually, it could be Italian, for all I know, but I got it off the back of a pack of Portuguese pasta, so to me, it's:

Portuguese Pasta Salad

1 cup dry chifferini pasta (sort of like mini macaroni)
20 cherry tomatoes
250 g queso fresco, cubed (the original called for 500 g, but that was too much cheese for me)
1/4 cup (ish) golden raisins
1/4 cup (ish) pine nuts (and wow, that one took me a while to figure out--Babelfish rendered it as marrow of nut)
2 tbs olive oil
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
handful of fresh basil, julienned
salt and pepper

Cook pasta according to package directions, adding salt to the water. Rinse with cold water. Halve the cherry tomatoes lengthwise, and add them with the other ingredients to a large bowl. Flavor with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in the basil. Makes about four servings, ish? Probably more as a side dish.

It is so very good that I've made it twice in two weeks, because I was craving it.

Yum! Though I'd probably leave out the raisins, for me.

When I made it this time, I forgot to put them in at first, and it really doesn't taste as good without them--they add a little sweetness which contrasts really well with the queso.

Ode
We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world forever, it seems.

With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities.
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion our empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure
Can trample an empire down.


We, in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth.
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself with our mirth;
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

--Arthur O'Shaughnessy
