Diversionary Tactics

I had a lovely sit-around-and-do-nothing time at Kat's on Sunday night. She let me vent, she let me put my feet on the coffee table, and brought me cookies and water. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh. Now that's my kind of quality time.

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon making bundt cakes and greek cookies for a ladies church meeting tonight. The old greek ladies asked the young girls (the under sixty crowd) to host the meeting, and we really want to wow their girdles off. The four of us made a vegetable tray, a fruit tray, two bundt cakes and greek almond cookies (the yummy round shortbread ones dredged in powdered sugar). If this doesn't impress them (or send them into diabetic comas) nothing will.

Oh, wait. They're old Greek ladies. Nothing impresses them. Well, shit.

I had fun baking with April, but I did have a minor meltdown in the Whole Foods market (something along the lines of "Good God! Who in the hell is willing to pay $3.99 for a dozen eggs? For four dollars, those little bastards better have an act!"). April steered me away from the refrigerated case (and away from the stunned looking Summerlin soccer moms) and made me sit down and eat something. Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh. Alllll better.

While I like the atmosphere of Whole Foods, I will stick to my local Smith's/Kroger store, where eggs are $1.00 a dozen.

Why so cheap? No act, I guess.
