- Lovely trip to Boston. *waves to Bostonians*
- Some fantastic desserts that make me want to bake more - mint brownies, Boston cream cake, mojito cupcakes. (Gaming group, expect some of these in the near future.)
- Nothing like going on a trip to make you grateful to be home.
- Apparently the torch in the Olympic ceremonies malfunctioned - just long enough for me to run out of tape.
- Finished "Re: Your Brains" arrangement for Chuckro's a cappella group.
- Also did a lot of hand-sewing while watching three hours of Project Runway reruns. It was supposed to be Olympics, but NBC was choosing to cover such fascinating stories as a walking tour of Vancouver, some random skiier's small hometown upstate, gossip about a Kardashian, and polar bears instead of, y'know, sports. I kept flipping back to Project Runway until they got back to actual competitions, and pretty much ended up seeing a couple downhill runs and one pairs figure skating. But the Project Runway was entertaining and made me able to pretend I was sewing a fabulous costume or something instead of repairing long underwear (which is what I was actually doing).

Date: 2010-02-22 03:22 pm (UTC)From:It would take a lot to wipe out the family recipes at this point - we're not big on secrecy, so there's a lot of copies. My grandmother still has all of hers, of course. She typed them up for my mom and her sister when they left for college. When I was about to leave for college, my mom typed them up for me and my brother. And a lot of the good ones, I've shared around. Chuckro's mom has sent us a bunch of hers, too, so we've got a binder.
It wouldn't be your own family recipes, of course, but do you want some of mine?

And someday many many years from now those WILL BE the family recipes, hehehe. "Hey, mom, do you have that rumcake recipe my grandmother used to make?"
