'q' is for Quentin who sank in a mire

Dec 18, 2009 14:02

1. You know what I miss? Witch Hunter Robin. I'd like to see that again.

2. And for those of you who don't believe that Pittsburgh is unique and strange, I bring you the Pittsburgh cookie table, a must at every wedding. I am told mine was good. I wouldn't know because I ate one cookie and when I returned, drunk, it was empty.

3. ( Sometimes it's good to remember what some music and a good voice over actor can do. )

The one Pittsburgh reception I've been to did not feature the cookie table, probably because neither the bride nor the groom were Pittsburgh natives. However, it did feature a dizzying array of mini cupcakes. Delicious cupcakes....

Oooooh. I do love the mini cupcake.

If I ever get married again, I was thinking that if I have a reception, we shall have a shitload of cupcakes instead of cake. cupcakes decorated with funny things.

It makes a lot of sense to me. Less expensive because you're not getting the wedding cake mark up and then people get to pick their flavors. And no fondant!

I've had three cupcakes today and three glasses of wine. Best work day ever!

amand_r December 18 2009, 20:26:05 UTC

I don't know if it would be cheaper, because you'd have to buy one for each guest, and that could get pricey, and you have to pay to have them all individually decorated.

Hrm. Maybe i should have a potluck wedding.

I guess it would depend on where you got them and how many guests you have. Cake Love sells a baker's dozen for $40. I would be shocked if I had more than 3 dozen people show so that's $120 for "top end" cupcakes (which I wasn't very impressed with).

Potlucks weddings are not unheard of, especially in the Midwest. I sort of have this plan to use this fabulous local vegan caterer who made really tasty food I could eat without getting sick.

amand_r December 18 2009, 20:38:26 UTC

Mmmmm, yeah, I'd have to order about 150 or so, and in Pgh, 40 bucks is hella expensive. Come here and get a dozen for 20 bucks.

I want to have a potluck for no reason.

I picked the most expensive local bakery I could think of and I'm pretty sure it's still less expensive than the average cake in this area. That bakery's wedding cakes started at $5.25 a serving.

Potlucks are fun! Sometimes people bring the most interesting stuff.

I think the last time we discussed our next potluck, we dicided that it was going to be themed, "I made it beer!"

this is very true

amand_r December 18 2009, 22:12:51 UTC

I WOULD LIKE A PASTY.

REMEDY THIS FOR ME.

kel_reiley December 18 2009, 22:29:32 UTC

OK BUT YOU HAVE TO COME GET IT.

amand_r December 18 2009, 23:48:55 UTC

BUSTED.

lawsontl December 19 2009, 00:38:46 UTC

Oooh, I haven't made pasties, god *counting on fingers* since we tailgated for "Deathly Hallows." They were pumpkin, though. I love savory pasties even more. *makes note to self*

huesiemama December 19 2009, 06:01:13 UTC

I totes need to make some pasties! Maybe this weekend after the Great Cookie Creation and Gift Wrap.

amand_r December 19 2009, 06:01:55 UTC
