Righty-o, so it's that time of year again. Mom is planning a dinner party, and she asked me to do the cooking. I've got the bare bones of a menu planned out, so here it is.

Appetizer:
Brie puffs

Salad:
Apple-Fennel Slaw

Main Course:
Angus Beef Pot Roast
Roasted Ginger Carrots
Oven Roasted Vegetables

Dessert:
Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

Note: This menu is subject to change at any time ;)

Right, so today I made a Pumpkin Banana Meringue pie for dessert for the family. The only little hitch I ran into was that I couldn't find sugar pumpkins around here anywhere, so I substituted ambercup squash for it. The pie turned out really good, and the texture was the same as a normal pumpkin pie. My family didn't like the meringue, and requested whipped cream for the next time I make it, but I liked it with the meringue, though I'll double it because it was kind of thin. I'll definitely be making it again for Thanksgiving dinner.

This whole 'broken laptop' thing really isn't working for me. In fact, it sucks like a ten dollar whore. No joke.

I am counting down the days until March and I can get out of this place.

Leaving for AZ in about ten minutes. See you all on Tuesday. MWAH!

And for the second time, because LJ hates me. Snagged from leigh_adams

First, choose 10-15 characters/pairings/threesomes/whatevers. Then, put your mp3/ipod/music library on shuffle, and match the first song with the first pairing, etc. down the line. Finally, choose one (or more! or none!) and create a fic, art, drabble, whatever for that pairing inspired by the song!

( follow the yellow brick road )

Some make very little sense, and some fit perfectly. We'll see how many I actually make into fics or drabbles.

Britt came over tonight to escape from Satan's Mistress (aka her mother-in-law) and we watched 16 Blocks and then we did yoga. It was a lot of fun, but not very effective. Especially since we started giggling every time we looked at each other, and then we had to unwind ourselves from the poses, because we were laughing so hard we couldn't breathe.

Good times, yo.

Oh! Matt brought me sushi and made me very happy. A few of the rolls had some caviar (or whatever. Fish eggs, okay?!) on the top, and I convinced Emma and Skylar to eat some. They liked it, so one point for me, yeah?

EDIT: I got Emma and Sky to eat Capelin roe. Gracias wikipedia. :D

Freaking awesome, yo.

P.S. the icon is just for you. *winkwink*

I am very much in love with this song right now.

We have the songs from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog here and we also have a mix (a list of songs can be found here) .

Oh, and there's also some DeVotchKa, Miss Kittin and She Wants Revenge on the mix.

Happy birthday to me. I need new glasses since mine were stepped on, and a new phone charger, since that was stepped on as well.

The glasses, or contacts if I decide to go that route, will set me back about $250-300 and I just don't have that right now, and then another $20 for the charger.

Like I said, happy fucking birthday to me.

Oh. And I'm home.
