I am trying my damnest to use this thing, this NFTA Trip Planner online. Very interesting results. Seems i have to be 45 minutes early for my appointment at 1pm, or transfer 3 times. Or walk to Elmwood. How hard should it be to get from Bird between Grant and Niagara to Elmwood and Summer?

Maybe it isn't the trip planner, but where we live. Not as many cross town buses as there should be.

What is there to do at the corner of Elmwood and Bryant for 45 minutes?

Leezie was my nickname in highschool. Then, amongst the crowd i hung with, pig latin became popular (oh, i know, we were the coolest), and i did my best to drop the nickname Leezie! Those of you that know pig latin may understand why.

I have been sofa bound for a couple of days. Saturday night hit it me hard. I thought i escaped the cold bug (e:Uncutsaniflush) had... but it looks like i didn't. Damn it.

On another far more possitive note...
Happy Birthday, (e:Paul)!

Thanks for hosting another house party, (e:PMT) !

Here are my snaps... in no particular order, even if i was trying to keep them cronological.

(e:Terry) was delicate most of the night



(e:Zobar) started the evening off with a flash!


Did someone just bring this bubble maker, or was it a birthday gift for (e:Paul) ?





(e:Libertad) and (e:MK) being anti-bubble!


I swear, it all started because i mentioned that (e:Matthew) 's jammie bottoms looked like something Edward Gorey would draw, and the next thing you know, (e:Dragonlady7) is reading The Gashlycrumb Tinies to us. Story Time! Yay!!


We barely got through that when we were told to get our hinnies out and watch (e:Paul) smash is porniata (sp?)


(e:Oda) got her sugar on


and (e:Mike) should have said no


(e:lilho) wanting no one to say no


Brothers


Sisters


The gang (nice heart, (e:Carolinian) ! )


Someone looks tired!


The only picture, all night long, i got of (e:Matthew) ! He just doesn't misbehave enough!!


Last but not least, the Birthday Boy...

So, what is a girl to do if she doesn't have a need or desire to go out during a rainy/snowy/icey day? Make ice cream!!

My first try was ok. Raspberry sorbet for my beloved. I didn't have as many frozen raspberries as i should have, so it was a bit too sweet. (e:Uncutsaniflush) doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, but when he wants sweets he wants them very sweet... so this fits the bill. Next time, more raspberries, less sugar and a tiny bit more lemon juice.

My second try didn't go as well. Cinnamon ice cream. I used a bit too much sugar, again, and a tiny bit too much cinnamon. Plus, the big boo boo was not letting the mixture cool enough before putting into the ice cream maker. Next time, i might just try steeping cinnamon sticks instead of putting in the powder.

This try... banana ice cream!! Oh, i hope it tastes as good when it is completely hardened as it did when it was soft serve from the ice cream maker!! At the last minute, i added walnuts and chocolate chips too. I cooled the mix in the fridge overnight while the ice cream bowl froze, too. So it should be yum!!

Of course, i could just find recipes instead of inventing them like (e:jenks) suggested...
