Let's see...so what's going on?
Well, a week ago Saturday, we celebrated Miss H's birthday here at Chez Gibson Curry. I had fun with thermodynamics. The crockery bowl from the fondue pot that K gave us cracked when I didn't get the chocolate in there fast enough. Frankly, I didn't expect that thing to put out so much heat. It made a really fun sound, though, when it went splodey.
I managed to crack the first batch of chocolate fondue, which is not a good thing. We're guessing it was the cornstarch in the powdered sugar (I misremembered which kind of sugar we're supposed to use). A little corn syrup and a fresh batch, we were good to go. Mr. A made beignets, which were very nice. The turnout wasn't huge, but we had a really good time. Watched Dodgeball, which is a very guilty very pleasure.
I guess I forgot to blog (OK, I really hate that word...) journal about our housewarming party! Yay! We had a BUNCH of folks come through. We're guesstimating that there were maybe 70 or so people over the course of the day, hangin' out, chatting, eatin' burgers, touring our sweet pad...it was good times indeed. We've got us some cool friends up here.
However, I managed to procure some extra friends to celebrate with us. Rusty and Sarah, and their new lil tyke Joshua, visited from Texas, and MattM and his lady Miss O came down from VCBC, which is in, like, a different country. It was lovely to see my friends from TX (MattM's a transplant), and show them around our cool new place. YAY!
This weekend, the ladytype is out of town, so I've got the joint to myself. Gonna have to find me a hot date!
