girls gone wild

well, our version of it anyway... (as usual, I stopped taking pictures once i started filling up with drinks and food...) After work, I stopped at the local brewery to get my fill up(s): one Cape Cod Beach Blonde Ale, and one Cape Cod Red. I was home by 1pm. Donna and Renee showed up around 2 or 2:30, I guess...I didn't really notice the time. Everyone was hungry, so we started nibbling on scones as we got to cooking. Steph was due to stop by when she got out of work at 6:30, but there was some 'brownie issue', in that she stayed up all night making Oreo Brownies and forgot them at here house...which is in the opposite direction of mine. That would mean, half hour drive back home to pick up brownies then another 45 minutes or so to get back here...a 15 minute drive here, turns into almost an hour and a half...making for a very late night. At any rate, D&R had bought brownie mix so that we could have brownies, but Steph's fiance brought them into work for her. So we still got the brownies after all...and then some! But...on with the fun!!! First, you always toast a pizza party with champagne! And, I actually got a picture of the three of us! Of course, when Steph showed up, I was over the picture taking...poor Steph. Pizza... We made four pizzas! Two were small, but FOUR PIZZAS! I had made up some caramelized onions the night before, and picked up some sauce and cheese. I pulled some random stuff out of my fridge, too, and the girls brought a bunch of stuff, too. Herbed feta, roasted red peppers, baby artichoke hearts, pepperoni and mushrooms. In the end, the last pizza had potato chips crumbled on top,too. Donna: 'I really want to put those chips and dip on a pizza some day.' Me: 'so do it now!' I really enjoyed the crunch! So good! Renee, eating: And, the morning after... Hostess gets leftover alcohol. Everyone took home a little of all the leftovers. Although, I ended up with an unopened box of Goobers! I'm not complaining, but I feel bad for not sharing...I forgot Steph brought them. Next time...I'll save them. Tea and champagne: My fun girlie demi tasse cups from days long past. I think yesterday was actually the first time I used them. I have had them in my cupboard since we bought our house nearly 8 years ago! (wow...has it really been 8 years!?) Well, I'm pooped. Today, off to get a quick cup of coffee with hubby before he goes to work. Maybe some 'French class' and 'music practice'. I'll try to get a workout in and clean up the house (read: fill the dishwasher). But mostly...j'ai relax!!

  3. I just realized how adorable the tea pot looks with the cups. I have to say I enjoyed my coffee more by having less in the dainty cups. I see this happening again, don't you?
