I just got an e-mail from the coolest sounding potential roommate. He's a reporter for the Washington Post who lives in Boston but will be on assignment in Baghdad for the next six months. I can't think of which is cooler - that he's a reporter, or that he'd basically not live here for six months!
Option b. Free rent, baybee.
Free rent, baybee.
I KNOW!
And who knows? Maybe after that six months he'll get assigned somewhere else. MORE free rent!
Time to get crackin' on tomorrow's party foods. What to make first...hmmmmmm... Tonight we've got to make Toto's bone biscuits and his carob cupcakes. And for the humans, we have to make the strawberry ice and start the decadent chocolate cake.
I'm afraid if I start the decadent chocolate cake first, I may eat it before the guests get here. It takes 21 squares of baking chocolate. Yes, you read that right. 21. Mmmmmmmmm....
That sounds like an amazing cake.
It better be! 'Cause it's gonna take some major doing to pull it off. I'll take a picture of it and tempt you all tomorrow.
Ham & butter? Just ham, butter & bread? Trying to picture....
French ham, french butter, french bread. Heaven.
Cass! I'm not ignoring you, hotmail is being eeeeevil.
Ooooooo...maybe I should make the chocolate covered strawberries first! I almost forgot about them!
French ham, french butter, french bread. Heaven.
I will need to try this sometime. Ham is my favorite meat.

Holy cow. YUM!
I have ham sandwiches when I visit my Bro in Holland all the time-- really good chewy bread, really fresh sweet butter, really perfect thin-sliced ham--so damn yummy.
