On veils and parties
Sep. 6th, 2005 11:29 amFor those of you who really couldn't care less about wedding dresses, ignore the following:
( On veils )
We had a lovely theme party Sunday evening. "It's...Green." (Bonus points to those not at the party who get the reference.) We served grasshoppers, which proved again why they're my favorite cocktail. Delicious, refreshing, and an absolutely bizarre color. All the food was green-themed - celery, cucumbers, broccoli, and green peppers with ranch dressing, kiwi and honeydew, guacamole, sour cream and onion, and hint-of-lime chips. And the cake.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chuckro has a superhero cake pan from when he was a little kid. It's got the pecs and cape and belt and everything. Well, we made a cake and I frosted it to look like the Martian Manhunter. ('Cause he's green.) I even made sure he had the prominant eyebrow ridges and a nose made from dollops of frosting. I did it from memory - when I checked later, I realized to my chagrin that I'd made his cape red instead of blue. Oh well. He still looked great, and was a total hit. Highlight of the party was the battle over who got to eat which part. ("I want the head!" "Ooh, can I have his heart!" "I've got an arm here! Who wants an arm?")
Geeky goodness at its best. I love my friends. You all rock.
