I just got back from my first second official Maid of Honor duty: a tasting for reception food. Some how, it was not really what I was expecting -- not that I know what I was actually expecting because it is not like I've done this kind of thing before ( Read more... )

1. I have a Dirty Santa party to go to Friday which involves a naughty gift exchange. Erg. I have absolutely no idea what to get! What is the right level of naughtiness, the best kinks to play to, etc. etc.? I'm thinking maybe a collections of Victorian erotica (if I can find one at the book store). I figure it counts as naughty, but is also ( Read more... )

So, grasshopper pie went well. It was a little touch and go there while I was trying to whip the whipping cream by hand. Turns out the lids to my plastic containers are not nearly as airtight as they are supposed to be. Also, I should probably not tell people that the only marble I could find to use in this process was one I picked out of the ( Read more... )

I just bought Creme de Methe for the first time.  It's always seemed kind of useless, and one of those things you buy once for a teaspoon or so and then never use again, but which takes up precious real-estate in a cabinet or on top of the fridge.  I made this terribly *eyeroll* monumental purchase because I've been invited to a pie party tomorrow ( Read more... )

First off, a picture from the ( prom party... )

This is going to be one of those posts with a lot of things I've been meaning to put here -- in bullet point-esq form -- because I fail at that whole timely manner thing.  Er yeah. Also I changed me default icon.  Just felt like that needed to be said.

And I am back in Pennsylvania again.  Let me tell you haw I am so over the really long car trip thing, possibly because I drive up to 10 hours at least once a week (Monday or Wednesday depending on which side of the 4-day I'm on.)  Of course, I'm still not over the long car trip enough to suck it up and transfer my car registration to Louisiana ( Read more... )

Went here last night for their Doctor Who night.  It was great fun despite (or possibly because of) the fact that is was a bunch of 40-something men and glowwormtu, myself and another friend of ours.  We were the token 20-something girls.  It was terrible fun.  I got to give two of the members of my viewing society (ie.  my friends) their first taste of ( Read more... )

First boil of the season!  Off to pick up some Strawberry Harvest and then eat the yummy, yummy crawfish (and boil corn).
