The family finally all got up around 10 a.m.  I still had a few biscuits left in the fridge, so it was egg McMuffins for brunch! Some of us slathered salsa on the eggs, just to give us a kick start before the show.

 
On our way to the festival, thunder roared across the city, and it poured as we humped our equipment to the stage. Luckily, we were performing at an entertainers' workshop under a big tent -- "Partners in Music."  One of the questions posed was "When do you rehearse?" My answer, of course, was "while I am wokking" ;-)  Over the years, Bill and I learned a lot of songs while I cooked.

During the afternoon break, we came home for lunch. Our son Robin, bass player, was home from his job, an eight-hour drive from Brandon. One of his favourite foods is Shanghai noodles, with a twist. I cooked the noodles with smashed fermented black beans, garlic, Habanero peppers, chopped mint, and deep-fried julienned wonton skins. These are SO GOOD!

 
Spent the rest of the evening back at the festival. Supper was from Morden Munchies truck, a familiar sight at many outdoor  functions in Manitoba. I had a smokie dog, and shared a family sized tub of chips.  The grease was hard to resist ;-)

 
Dessert was a single scoop of cookies 'n' cream ice-cream, a dish of apple crisp from the entertainers' tent, and many cups of coffee.
