Other odds and ends
On Saturday, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
judygs, bmtstandard, doomsey, and I all went to see Mirror of the Invisible World at the Goodman Theater. This particular play was a Mary Zimmerman play about a man with seven wives from various different countries: Greece, Russia, Persia, Morocco, China, India, and Turkey. Each wife told a story and imparted some words of wisdom to her husband. Like most Mary Zimmerman plays, Mirror of the Invisible World was very excellent. Lots and lots of color and great acting. I do have to add that two actresses that had been in the original play at the Goodman Theater ten years ago were in this production as well. The Indian wife still looked the part, but the Chinese wife was way too old. She looked silly in some of the outfits they put her in too.
After the play, we went to TaquerÃa Tayahua in Pilsen. If I remember correctly, the food was traditional Mexican food from the Zacatecas region. For an appetizer, we got quesadillas de nopales, which are quesadillas with cactus fruit in them. I had never had cactus before and I have to say that it was very good. I got the smoked pork chops anddoomsey got red snapper in garlic sauce for dinner. The food was most excellent and I have a feeling we will be going back there.
Today I had really good timing.judygs and I got back from the doctor's office and the drugstore and, about two minutes after I got back, the Terminex guy came. He was a bit early, and it's a relief I made it there in time. He knocked down the wasps' nest. He claims that the nest was in our window and not the vent. What was in the vent was a stick of some sort. At any rate, he took that down too just to be certain. We also asked him to take a look at our house again because the carpenter ants had made a reappearance. He told us that the first person who came out made a mistake. This guy said that, if the ants weren't gone in two weeks, to call back. The next guy who came out said that the first guy was saying the wrong thing. It actually takes a month, and that if we still see them in a two more weeks, then we should call back and have them come out again...
