I knew my time would come!!! In my local paper today,I read about a new trend...Frosting shots:

Steve and I really sync up on the cake/icing issue.I steal his icing,he steals my cake,and we're both happy. I have never seen frosting served all on it's lonesome before,and now it's the latest trend!
Also,some sad news,but all my fault...[sit down,T ]I closed the kitchen window right on the flower stalk of my amaryllis,snapping it cleanly off.For those of you who know amaryllis,there is no hope for that flower.It may throw another stalk,and in any case,I'll let it continue to grow,so it can store energy for next year.It's 18 inches tall now :/ If I do get a secondary off of it,you'll be the first to know :o) On a side note,one of my online friends,reading about the amaryllis,sent me hers.She [read:her cats] do not like it,so I adopted it.TYVM,Marie,it's here,a little worse for wear,but I'll take good care of it.[don't tell me what color it is,I like to be surprized :O)]I also bought one off of eBay....a red,like the one I have,and am waiting for it right now,so I'll have 3.That might not sound like a lot,but these things get huge.I think I'll put them in the bathroom,Steve already calls it the Jungle,so he probably won't notice a few more plants in there [and if he does I'll bake him a cake ;o)
We read with a lot of interest,plans the town has to build up our town ,we are a hamlet of a bigger town.Todays' paper sez the town is allowing homes to be built here.Only problem is,the only land they could build on is literally swamp land.We are a town of.....OMG....I know everyone in this town by name or face or both.I'd say we have a lil shy of 100 residents.I Googled my town,in the interest of giving you facts,and Google says we have over 10,000 ! Not if you're not including the deer,bear rabbit and squirrel population! We're so small,they keep confusing us with a town in N.C,and a town on Staten Island.Oh,and look at that! The street we've lived on for more than 18 years is actually part of the bigger town,it moved 10 miles and no one told us! Wow,that's bigger than frosting shots !! :o)
