I just made dinner for thirty from scratch. It took me three hours.
Three long, potato peeling, carrot chopping, hot stove slaving hours. If anybody wants to take pity on me, I'll be needing food (this is all for tomorrow,) a neck and shoulder rub, a hot bath and a very strong drink. In reverse order, if you'd be so kind. ;)

On the upside, my house smells delicious. :9

I still have dessert to make, but I'm cheating and using storebought pie shells. I won't tell if you don't.

4. School thing.
I probably could have just brought cookies or something, but I tend to go a bit overboard, hence full dinner and dessert for a class of 30.

This is the main course: http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LeftyMom/33

2. Okay, I searched Yahoo for "bubble bath" in the images

section. I would have responded sooner, but I found a few of my favorite kinds of pictures, ones I cannot post here. I'm still looking for a nice picture of a bubble bath for you that doesn't include nekked women doing things I like to watch nekked women do. I'll try my best to remember you as I look. :P

6. That's lovely.
I can't really do some sort of sexy, relaxing tableau like that in my bathroom, what with the spongebob shower curtain and all. :P

9. But they're organic ones.
Surely that should count for something.

10. Well, it's a bit belated...
...but here's what I'd prefer as a strong drink.



What'd you wind up having?

12. I wound up realizing I was out of mixers and not about to drink straight bourbon
So I went to bed, sore, tired and regrettably sober.

I'm off work tomorrow so I'll make it up to myself tonight. :D
