ha!

I should go to party

I put on pants.

And a bra.

I've been to parties, they seem to prefer you at least start the evening with pants on

Pants AND bra is just too much.

I do NOT KNOW if I want to go see the Feline Movie.

Last of the unfrozen gumbo

Mmmm

I kind of want to see it, but now expect it to be bad

Ooooo.... I wish I'd thought to thaw the shrimp for tonight but I did not. No one else here eats seafood if at all possible.

I should go

Shrimp takes like 10 min to thaw!

Chuck them under some running water

I mean unless you froze them in a block of ice or carbonite or something

this.

running water is very effective!

I think Siv probably often fusses at her cat, and is usually ignored. Frank and Brekke might consider the cat an agent of karma

Yeah, but then I have to cook them and....lazy.

NYE is traditionally what we call 'snacky dinner.'

Lunch meat and summer sausage, sliced fruit and veg, cheeses, olives, pickles, mixed nuts, even jams....

And you graze and eat.

Suit yourself.

Oh, crackers, flatbread, that kind of thing too.

We also have sparkling juice and adult sparkling juice......

It's easy to fix but if you do it pretty it's SPECIAL.

But no one except me thinks of seafood.

Pick up some cocktail shrimp! Fits well with the theme

It's after 6 here and I'm home and in PJs. ((shrug))

Even better

TAMALEEEES

/roll 3

These are MAMA TAMALES; hand-and-home-made in a cocina south of the border.

The REAL DEAL.

These tamales don't botch, D.

That was for a certain Redcap's gift 🙂

((relieved))

In short, Kerri is probably lighting up and thinking maybe she has a supplier? 🙂

Kerri, Frank, Thea.......

There shout out to the tamales

All Hail Maria!

Here we go!

For Siv:

Forget Siv, I want to go a beach now... tropical. It's getting cold down here.

It's like 41 degrees! Brrr

69-53 degrees up in here. Don't have to shovel rain.....

Waits for the northern types to pop in later and roll eyes*

Keep waiting.
