Trunk and Treats are pretty popular here. We will probably get a few trick or treaters on Halloween itself. I will go get some candy tomorrow and I also have Halloween pencils, because I am That lame house thats does that.
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have no candy in the house. No trick or treaters, so no temptation. Darn it.
Tonight I made some chain mail earrings. My first chain mail project and I'm pleased with the results. Tomorrow I'm going to attempt a bracelet with a similar weave.
I'll be buying candy on Friday, obviously.
Eeatt the canndyy!
I'm hoping to go over to a friend's house tomorrow and finish making my enormous witch hat, that I will wear with long black skirts, a Victorian-ish blouse, and my black blazer with the Hogwarts crest on it. And I'll have a wand. (Which was actually made for me by a woodworker friend, from a branch of the apple tree that's in our back yard. )
Wrapped my leg in brown wrapping paper and got a parrot to go with my pirate outfit for the party tonight. I have to say, having an excuse to park my butt in one spot was nice. Got beer and food delivered to me as a bonus. The hostess was medusa. Snakes in her hair. She was gorgeous. Her husband is our facilities manager and we're all quite jealous of him. She's smokin'. And ethereal. And regal. And really really nice.
And hot.
Ugh. Just watched a "funny" cat video compilation that was pretty much documented animal abuse using flashlights and laser pointers. Bad taste in my mouth now.
I have lazily managed to make 6 jars of borscht chawanmushi (well, it's in the oven now), puree and freeze something like a gallon of strawberries, and fix a pot of beef and beet green stew. Not bad for not trying very hard!
How is something with made with beets green? [eta: It's beef and beet greens stew, isn't it? Just realized I probably parsed it totally wrong.]
Also that is a lot of food for not trying very hard.
Yes, beet greens. Beet greens stew and beet green stew sound the same in my head...
