Jul. 31st, 2010

1. OMG IT'S A GIR CAKE!!! This would be too cute to eat, though! That's always the problem with these fancy cakes. Also fondant doesn't taste that great compared to frosting, so it looks nice, but probably isn't so great in the taste department. Still! GIR!

2. Speaking of cakes, we had a delicious chocolate cake today. Tuesday is Carla's hormoniversary (one year on hormones!), so she had people over today for grilling (burgers and Korean BBQ-esque tri-tip) and I made her favorite (also my favorite) cake.

She invited about ten people, but only four could make it, which was just as well for me. I prefer a small group. It was all people I'd already met, too, which also cuts down on the stress. And now she has gone back with Alexander to his place to hang out there tonight and go to his Genderqueer Revolution Coffeetalk thingy tomorrow morning, so I have the house to myself, which is also nice (especially after having company over)! :D

Oh, and I don't remember if I mentioned this in a previous happy post or not, but we now have a gas grill! My mom and Tom got a new one, so they gave us their old one, which Tom had found on the side of the road and fixed up. It doesn't look very nice, but it works great. They gave us an empty tank, so today we took it over to the gas station and exchanged it for a full one (you get a discount if you turn in the old tank).

( Chocolate sheet cake recipe! )

Daily Happysong:

Spitz - Ajisai Doori
Really there aren't many Spitz songs I don't like, so it's hard to pick favorites. This is one of my faves off their Hachimitsu album, though.
