I'm about to go meet the Family Flea for Graeter's. Seeing as how it's 97 degrees right now, that is the perfect way to welcome them back to Cincy.
Unless I spontaneously combust on the way there.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I bought the Torani Vanilla syrup, and I have some decent beans, so I just brewed a super-strong batch of coffee. Syrup goes first over a glass FULL of ice, then coffee half full, then milk to the top. Stir, and enjoy.
If you have the decent flavor syrup and beans, and a lot of ice, homemade really doesn't matter vs. coffee shop, Jen.

I have a green chile pork stew in the crockpot -- any an all are buffistas are invited to have some -- hatch chiles + beer + spices and tomatillos + pork. YUM. I would make sopapillas but it seems like too much work.
I also made a ton of chocolate cake, including a sheet cake to serve as the base for the angry birds cake. We have used 4 lbs of buttercream so far to ice the playing field. Now we need chocolate icing for the launching area and we still don't have a slingshot for the birds itself. Ideas for slingshots?
We have to go to the cake store get a get a cake box, I think. I'm unnaturally excited about this cake.

Tooth shoes are scary. Sentence I never really figured I'd need to write, but there you go.
Oh, those shoes! I posted them to my Tumblr. Honestly, I think they're kind of neat.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
They are the teeth of my enemies. Wait til you see what my underwear is made of.

You people are not making me want those shoes any less. Just so you know. C'mon! Those with black tights, my usual fluffy skirts, and a severe Victorian jacket? Fantastically creepy.

Thanks, Erin. I may give it a try. I don't have any syrup, though, so not today, sadly.
I'm kind of excited about your cake, too, Kat. What is the occasion?
I just discovered that Hermione Norris is no longer on Wire in the Blood, which is news about five years old, but whatever. I'm a little bummed. I liked the two of them together. New person seems OK, though.

Well, yeah, I'll give you that. You would rock them.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I wish I could get skating lessons here, but the only rink we have doesn't offer them. It's such great exercise.
The Mad Rollin' Dolls have a rec league called the Mad Wreckin' Dolls if you want to get some good exercise!
