Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
no hamentaschen? Sacrelige!
Fay, you are completely lovely and one of the women who makes me wish that I were attracted to women , because then I would have a shot at being with someone wonderful like you. You are gorgeous, however many stone.
I have a great picture of my sister stabbing a lamb cake with homicidal glee....
Steph, I love your idea. Red velvet lamb!!! I'm trying to decide fi I need to go to the grocery store--I might need more cupcake holder paper things (um...word for those, I have lost). But I'm feeling too lazy. And if I go, I will get sucked into buying other things. OTOH, coconut on the cupcakes sounds adorable...
Lamb cake's a tradition in my family too. With jellybean eyes!
With jellybean eyes!
I use jellybeans for eyes (and nose) if I can scam 3 jellybeans from a co-worker or friend, since I strongly dislike jellybeans and don't want to buy a whole bag of them just to use 3 for a cake.
So this year I bought M&Ms for the eyes and nose. I *know* we'll eat the rest!
I'm looking forward to the reactions to the bloody lamb cake...
DH has Easter dinner duty, because I feel like singing at three back-to-back Easter services earns me the right to put my feet up a bit. He has a pork roast brining, adapted from this Mark Bittman recipe because we couldn't find an uncured ham at QFC or Whole Foods yesterday: [link]
Only of course today when I went by the Asian market around the corner from our house because we were out of eggs, what should I spot in the meat aisle but uncured hams for about a third of the price per pound DH paid at Whole Paycheck.
Dessert will be simple--store-bought angel food cake with strawberries.
I can't wait to see the bloody lamb pictures
Happy birthday, Pete!
And Kristin, I'm glad that Byron is feeling a bit better.
Fay is a babe.(and kisses very well). Lots of people like women with curves, Fay. I had a crap day too. You know your life sucks when somebody tries to console you by basically telling you you're not a drooling freak like other crippled people. My brother does not share my verbal facility.
