Food and Shopping

I'm not sore from taiko last night!! HA!

A horrible thing has happened. I bought a gigantic jar of Nutella. So you should all come over right away and have wheat bagels with Nutella before I eat it all and have to buy an entirely new wardrobe of mu mus. Actually, I am considering using it for some of the Christmas parties I'm going to as icing for cupcakes or brownies. Thoughts?

And speaking of cupcakes, poking Hershey kisses into yellow cake mix cupcakes is not really that special. I recommend just eating the kisses. I was going to bring the results of our experiment to taiko if they had turned out spectacular, but they were just kind of "eh".

I am disproportionately excited about the breaded tilapia we got at Costco. I like fish occasionally, but my mom doesn't. Even though she doesn't even eat dinner (she prefers a late lunch around 2 or 3), my mother doesn't cook anything she doesn't like, and I never learned to make fish because of it. I'm one of those people who likes to watch first, and then try something, unless it is a big casserole, which are not hard to get right. So, yay for the sample ladies.

I spilled hot tea down my neck trying to get into the car when my back wasn't good. I don't recommend.

Ooo! I'm going to put on the documentary about Ireland that we checked out from the library the other day.

Santa is going to bring Abbie a bumblebee pillow pet, and Grant the How to Train Your Dragon movie. And Mommy and Daddy are going to get (have already got, in fact) the movie Ponyo for Christmas, and Grant will be getting 2 Bionicles. Now, what should I get for Josh?

It's cold out. Very. I'm going to have to get my red teas out, because zillions of blankets aren't helping much at night. I wasn't always such a weenie. I don't know what I'll do when I'm old. I shall be forced to move back to Yuma!

This documentary is GREAT! It's the Destination Travel Guide: Ireland. Produced in 2003 and narrated/hosted by Ian Wright. He's slightly irritating, but not too bad for one of these. You should check it out from your library. I think I'll watch it now.

Happy Friday to you!
