Party's Over
Dec. 19th, 2002 01:42 pmThe above was said in a New Zealand accent, of course.
Anyway, I'm full. Again. The tres leches cake that Jose made was awesome. Exact quote from him: "Yeah, I doubled the alcohol in the recipe. And no, it isn't cooked out." So yeah, we're all pretty happy now.
The pumpkin pie went over well. I've now got an urge to do more baking again. Found a couple of nifty recipes that I may have to try.
I had a shitty number in the gift exchange. I drew the crappy 2-for-$1 coasters that Mike ended up with last year (and recycled), traded out for the Star Wars Gigapet, and had that stolen in return for a box of crappy looking pecan chocolates.
I forgot one of my favorite traditions -- Alan always buys a bottle of Sweetwater Festive Ale (their limited batch that they release each holiday season) for each of us. A full-size (33.8 oz) bottle. Sweetwater is already one of my favorite breweries, and their Festive Ales are always a delight.
Anyway, am now too full to get anything done. I'm going to take a walk or two around the library, just to try to walk a little of this off.
