Ganache making experts, AKA ita, if I'm going to ice with the ganache, should I whip it after it cools?

Hi. We are having a party tomorrow. The goodie bags include a pool noodle light saber.

I need an intervention.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I feel like I'm letting down the side.

I could drink for you?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kat, I do get my chocolate cream cold before whipping. I think you have to, physics wise, to get it nice and light. No freezing, though.

eta: Lee, could you? I'd be ever so grateful.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Love the shirt dress but I fear I'd fall right between the medium and the large. phooey. Pretty sure my waist is bigger than 28 inches.

Oh my gosh, I want a bowl of ganache right now. nom!

Because books.

I didn't drink! But I ... ate chocolate?

I need an intervention.

Kat, you are exactly like me. When I did Ben's Harry Potter party, I was up until 2 a.m. the night before, PAINTING HOUSE FLAGS on pillowcases to hang in the living room. I cut out about fifty white candles from poster board, colored the flame yellow, and hung them from the beams in our living room with fishing line, so it would look like they were floating.

Ben was five. All he wanted was a pair of glasses and a lightning bolt tattoo. I was insane.

I'm the bad party mom. My kids are lucky if there's a cake on the table and the laundry has been put away before the guests arrive.

Amy, our house is a mess. And I'm just poor enough to have considered a taco truck (there WILL be a bouncer though).

We will have yummy cupcakes though.

Sure! I've even started already!

Jesus, what kind of kids do Noah and Grace hang out with?

Not that kind of bouncer, ita, a bouncy house.
