So yes. I am up late. Again. Kill me, why don’t you? Do you know what I am doing? Making a cake. Why? I don’t know. It’s brunch tomorrow. No one will probably have cake, but yanno what? It’ll be pretty on the counter. Well, I think, anyway. I opted for a bundt cake. It’s so much easier. I just don’t know how it’ll look as a yellow cake. Now I have to do the frosting more like a glaze. *sigh* I think I am crazy.

Also I am enjoying the official drink of the @blueteam. So that’s fun. Plus every now and then I hear from Shel. I miss that crazy kid! It’s weird when you chat like every day for like ever and then go to maybe once a month. It’s like my therapist went part time! Sheesh! And I mean that with love… *blows kisses north*

Okay. I think I need to focus on my glaze now. Shit. How the hell am I doing that? Nuking the frosting I think… Yes. That will work…

Due to popular demand, and after much code tweaking (I am sure nothing validates), in-line commenting is back. Now where is my gawd damn drink?

*And by ‘internets’ I mean Brian.

So you know what I miss? Chocolate milk. I used to looove some chocolate milk. We used the Nestle Quick. Remember when you first started to make your own? One spoonful would miss the glass? Then as you got older and “wiser” you added an extra spoonful of the chocolate powder, but then it never dissolved right and was this sweet drink with clumps of that dry powder? My mom would bitch at me when I did that… Sometimes my brother and I would compete and see how much we could dissolve in one glass. I always won. He actually preferred the strawberry flavor for his milk. Sometimes I would actually just put a spoonful linto my mouth and eat it. I was weird, because I did that little spoonful trick as a teenager.

Anyway, so yesterday Richard stumbled upon a container of Quick in the cupboard. He asked when I was ever gonna use it. Tonight seemed like a good time. I made us each a tall glass. I followed the instructions and used 2 tablespoons, but then I smiled to myself and gave each glass an extra spoonful. Heh. For old times sake.

What’s your food memory? Do you have one, or am I weird?

A lot of people are looking for the eggnog martini recipe from last year. I figured I’d make it easier to find. This was a hit at the 2 holiday events we were able to attend last year… give it a go! And try it with vanilla vodka. Mmmm…

May I make a drink suggestion? I mean… I had been looking for something like this. My man is a fan of the martini. Well, the fancy girl kinds anyway. And for myself, the standard eggnog and brandy gig is so heavy. So I did a bit of Google magic and came up with the Eggnog Martini. I even like it! It’s dreamy! Like a cloud of eggnog with yummy goodness.. Mmm. Try it!

Eggnog Martini
Ingredients:
1 Oz Eggnog
1 Oz Ameretto
1 Oz Vodka

Directions:
Combine all ingredients and shake well. Dust with freshly grated nutmeg or cinnamon, if desired.

What happens when you’re only allowed one drink at the company picnic?

In order to stay in line with the new policy limiting the number of drinks to one beer at official events; I have purchased new cups for the next company picnic.
