Things I have learned or rememebred tonight:

1) You know how in movies or comics sometimes someone is inhaling and then smoke comes out their nose in two streams, like a dragon? This is totally real beucase I accidentally did it tonight. It hurt less than I thought it would. It was funny as hell.

2) The purple in my bathroom is named "splendifirous" on the paint chips. I'd forgotten that. It's a really good royal purple. It's *SPLENDIFIROUS*!

3) If you're trying to smell your bubble bath, be careful not to stick your nose in the bubbbles beucase it tickles and snorts and burns a little bit and then there are a few sad moments from the choking before everyhting is happy bathtime again.

4) Wouldn't it be a really great idea if, the year everybody turned 18, they weren't allowed to wear pants? LIke, for the whole 12 months, no pants - kilts and skirts only. Wouldn't that be *awesome*? I think it would be *awesome*.

5) I have a relaly fucking amazingly nice life. I'm going to take a few days to enjoy it, this week. Just a couple. JUst to read smut and cook and breathe. I think ti will be ok. Right? yeah.

6) oh! I forgot - the barefoot countessa chick on food tv - amazing! I made her warm duck salad (only not with duck beucase you have to ask for it two weeks early so we had a steak), and um.... oh right - butternut squash rissotto and ... chocolate sorbet and a yummy buelberry crumb cake and EVERYTHING was fucking brilliant.

Welll, the sorbet would have been yummier with cream, and probably duck would have been nice, and the streusel was about twice as much as the cake really needed, but still. GOod recipes.

7) I love stony bath night. I'm going to go have some sorbet.

I'm all for your "no pants" idea.

Wouldn't that be a great "rite of passage" kind of thing? Maybe? I'm going to write to my congressperson. ;)

...And perhaps not post while that high ever again.

I love the Barefoot Countessa on The Food Network.

She is amazing. Her family and friends are very lucky to have her around.

Butternut squash rissotto. Sounds fabulous.

It was delicious and easy - much more so than I remember rissotto being in the past.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/butternut-squash-risotto-recipe/index.html

Changes = I used 4 C chicken stock, about half the butter, and an extra ounce of pancetta, since the package came with 3 oz not 2 oz. After the squash-roasting, it only took about half an hour. :)

Where do you apply for having an evening like that? Damn. *is jealous*

Make it happen! Hot water + bubbles + intoxicant of your choice = success! :)

Stony bath night? That explains the rambling. ;-P

Bubbles up the nose are NOT a good thing. *itches nose in memory*

*blush* It's a new thing, Sunday night stony bath. I think it's working out pretty well so far, although next time I'll try to stay away from LJ. ;)

I would ask WTF you were smoking, but I neither wish to incriminate you nor harsh your buzz.

Enjoy.

Just, you know, regular stuff. *blush* Sad thing is, I thought I was fairly sobered up when I posted. Guess not. ;)

If there is one thing humans were NEVER meant to do, it is to judge their own level of inebriation.

If you were here, I would cuddle you and give you treats. I have dark chocolate...

Mm... chocolate....

On the plus side, I've learned a valuable lesson - sober enough to type does *not* mean sober enough to make sense to anyonese not inside my skull.

I do love the giggly cuddling...

Au contraire - you should post like that more often! You're so cute when you let down your hair!

Doesn't that sound like fun? No pants for girls or boys, for a year. That's a rite of passage I can fully endorse. :)

*hug*
