Lair of the Social Leper

I? Have absolutely nothing to say, but I wanted to post anyway, so :P. Mum's gone and I should be doing laundry but am instead chatting w/ ishtaritu.

Dad and I went to Macaroni Grill today, which, while not my favorite, is pretty decent. Plus, I had Bombay Sapphire, so it was all good.

Took a bath w/ Haagen Bath. It was quite nice. Not the best bath in the world (which likely had to do w/ the fact that there wasn't enough hot water), but it smelled nice--very creamy--and was very moisturizing. I shaved my legs and it hardly hurt at all! At any rate, was much better than Sugar Rush, which are going to be dumped as no one wants them to give as gag (literally) gifts to people they dislike.

~e!

+ I am thankful for Alton Brown because he didn't let me down and his Best Ever Green Bean Casserole was, in fact, the "best ever." I am also thankful for him because cooking a turkey per thermometer probe instead of time made for the Best Turkey Ever. No, really. Amazing.

+ Speaking of turkey...I'm thankful for my neighbour for winning a turkey in a bowling game and giving it to us.

+ I am thankful for Bon Appetit for the amazing pecan pie recipe. So delish. Yes, ishtaritu, I have eaten a piece for you.

+ I am thankful that the oven didn't fuck up and kill my latest dishes.

+ I am thankful for having such an amazing mother who is a joy with whom to cook and uses terms like "Alton Brown wouldn't lead us astray," and "What do you think Alton would do?"

+ I am thankful for a family who does nothing more than laugh when they realize that--oops!--the stuffing had been forgotten.

+ I am thankful for my many wonderful friends. (see? i totally put a mushy one in! i so rock!)

Also? I'd forgotten what a laugh riot This Is Spinal Tap is. <3

As a side note to show how dorky I am in my love for Alton, Phen sent me a little build-a-bear chef's outfit w/ embroidery on the toque deeming it "Alton Bear."

Since I'm mentioning gifts, I've been trying to sit on this and be dignified, but I just can't! hollydb gave me the awesomest BtVS collectible doll set ever. It's a Willow and Tara set complete with magic potions and??? MISS KITTY FANTASTICO!!! She's likely my favourite BtVS character; at least, she's the one about whom I write the most. ;) *cuddles holly to itty bitty bits of holly...but in the cute, not painfully-gross/grossly painful way*

Now, on to my current goal of not barfing. Will travel to Hamilton to see G-ma tomorrow and leave Sat. Spending Sat. night w/ aunt raedene and g-ma wanda.
