Party Report

[cloudscudding]

Big thanks to everybody who came to our party (and some who didn't). I think it went pretty well. We had lots of people all dressed up, a large spread of food and liquor, everybody seemed to be playing nice with each other, it carried on into the wee hours of the morning (made wee-er by Daylight Savings Time, civilization's April Fools' Day trick

I was more focused on the girls....

[cloudscudding]

Well, that's good to know.

Because if cute girls decide to lie down on your bed and cuddle and wriggle around in an aesthetically pleasing fashion...

Apparently we left too early. I am bummed.

that being said, we got home, decompressed for no more than 30 minutes, and then fell to the mattress like the proverbial ton of bricks.

Fun party, and sorry we were too tired to make a real run of it.

[cloudscudding]

No apologies and no guilt for being tired! I was very glad that you were able to make it and hope that you had a good time.

Would I be safe in assuming that there are pictures forthcoming? From someone if not your lovely self?

[cloudscudding]

Actually, I don't know. I didn't take any pictures, having become irritated with the quality of "party" photos. Others may have. My camera mysteriously migrated downstairs at some point, as I discovered on Sunday.

I was asked to post this somewhere around here.

Caipirinha:

ingredients: Cachaça, limes, sugar, ice.

- Cut up a half a lime into chunks (with peel), and throw them in the bottom of the glass.
- Add 3-4 spoonfuls of sugar.
- Grind up the limes/sugar a little bit. A wooden spoon works well for this.
- Juice another 1 to 1-1/2 limes and pour the juice in the glass. By now the glass is probably about 40% full.
- Pour in cachaça, and stir. Don't be shy-- the glass should be about 70-80% full afterwards.
- Add 3-4 cubes of ice. This is a pretty strong drink so it's ok to let it get a little watered down.

This is enough for a tall glass, and packs a decent punch.

I've only found Cachaça at Surdyk's. They have 3-4 different brands, and I can't tell the difference between any of them. It's pretty cheap, about $12-16 for 1 liter.

Those were very tasty. I forgot to mention that you won for Best Drink.

Happy Anniversary, by the by!
Good that it went well, and such and so on.

Thanks!
