Bastica: April 2009

This is the same Fondue Night where I shared all the recipes from previously. Thought you might like to see them. Of course they are in the wrong order, so we will start with after dinner drinks, followed by dessert etc.

I found this drink in a discount bin at a small local grocery. It's called Jason and Larry's Evil Spirits, so naturally, I thought Jason and Larry should try it.

They toasted with great eagerness.

They no likey. Jason and Larry's Evil Spirits are hereby banished from our house.

The delicious Caramel dessert course.

I seriously thought they might start licking the bowl and their plates. I'm not saying I didn't think about it.

Alas, there are no pictures of the cheese course. We hadn't thought to get out the camera yet. Larry didn't get any cheese, because he was too late and we were too hungry.

We moved in February 2008. I took pictures to share with you in December, and they are finally making it online. This is especially for my long distance friends who may never get to see it in person.

Unfortunately, I skipped a few rooms. They were probably messy or something. I just went and took pictures of my bathroom and kitchen to share in the future - which who knows when that will happen, but I hope to do it.

I loved being able to put up a Christmas Tree for the first time in 5 years! I just never could get into the spirit in a little apartment when the tree was in storage at Grandma's and dragging the other decorations out of one of those storage units -- bleh. I actually had my Christmas Tree up before Thanksgiving. I was always such a firm believer in no tree before turkey, but I was just too excited. Plus, the older I get, the faster the season goes by. I guess if I had a real tree, that wouldn't work so well.

The pictures aren't really in the order I want, but dealing with pictures on blogger takes forever and stresses me out, so in the interest of minimum stress, I will caption them as is.

This was after a big snow in January.

This is Jason with the pink hair that I mentioned in the forking post. This was at our housewarming party. Yes, on the t.v., that's old school Sonic the Hedgehog on an old Sega.

This is the only picture I have of my kitchen for now. That's Jason's Mom helping out at the housewarming party. She is a great blessing to us - always serving and giving.

Blue Skies. Green Grass.

I always wanted my Christmas Tree in a window. Finally happened.

We have this old sealed up a/c unit in our living room. It's not functional and it goes all the way through the wall and outside. Basically we have a hole in our house that will need to be sealed up. Maybe next fall we'll fix it, but for now, since I couldn't get rid of it, I decorated it.
