My toffee turned out! Yaaaaay! However, now it’s too late to make ice cream, so I’ll hafta wait til tomorrow to do that. :)
baby steps!
Baby steps! So. We joined Keri and Aberdeen and Angie; introductions were made, and Keri remembered me, I think, ’cause I’d been in proximity to Michlvis when we were there in November. (Well, that and I’m from Alaska. That seems to stick in people’s minds for some reason … ). Conversation ensued. For three hours.

bookstore accident
Oh yes. We had a minor bookstore accident, too. We went in for one book and came out with, um, five. But it cost under $40, so it hardly counts! Er, right? Right? Anybody? Bueller?

The second time, I used the almond toffee recipe, because, well, that’s /basically/ what pralines are. But I burned the…
baby steps!
Baby steps! So where was I? Right, I was having people’s breasts poke me in the back. Not, I repeat, an experience to be recommended. James showed up around 10, and was immediately plagued with sound problems, which caused his intro line to involved the word ‘fuck’, I’m pretty sure, although I don’t actually recall what it was. Because he had very little time, there was relatively little banter, and that, from James, is pretty unusual. He’s usually quite a clown. His set list included (in no particular order), Cadillac…
