Lookin’ at a four day weekend with my Weasel. I hope it doesn’t come to fisticuffs. I think I’m having PMS and he’s on my nerves a bit. Meh. In any case, I hope to have fun at the Alive! festival in Duluth tomorrow. I’ll be in the Oracle 20/20 booth (18-19). Come on out, it’s free!
I gotta get some head pins of the correct size (1.5″) and whip up some cute chakra earrings for the fest. These are made with small seed beads, so I think I’ll just charge $5 for them. My usual stuff is $10, but I can’t charge that for such small beads. I had hell trying to find ANY beads that had all seven colours! And even these didn’t have a true red. Weird.
The Atlanta Comic Convention is also this Sunday at the Marriott on Clairmont. Depending on how business is at the Alive! fest, I may or may not be there. Nick will be there either way. I’m currently thinking that one day of an outdoor festival full of skwerls will be enough for me, so I’ll probably just do Saturday. Besides, I don’t want to have to duplicate the change box for two events. BUT, if I sell a ton of stuff, I may be tempted. We’ll play it by ear.
Hmm, what else? Welp, I’ve been cooking a lot the last week. Last night I challenged myself to on-hand soup. On-hand soup is whatever I can scrounge from the fridge and pantry. It turned out to be chicken and veg w/ barley. One of the veg was purple cauliflower, which was delightful in the soup. I even managed to use bouillon cubes for stock and not make it too salty. I highly recommend the flavoured bouillon cubes by Knorr. I used cilantro last night and it was great. You can find them in the Mexican section. There’s cilantro, tomato, chipotle, etc., all in a chicken base. I also recommend keeping garlic and garlic+ginger pastes handy. You can find that in the Indian section or Indian grocery. Good stuff.
I got a birthday coupon from Iberian Pig, so we may have to do that in addition to my Porter outing next weekend. We’ll be at The Porter for my epic, once in a century birthday of 11.11.11 on Friday 11.11.11. The official start time is 6pm, we’ll be there early. If you can come out, please do. It’s just a low pressure get together, no presents or anything. Just a get together because of the date, really.
It’s my turn on the Rack, so I guess I’ll sign off. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Oh, and the new headers are Monet pieces: Japanese bridge, Japanese Garden and Sunrise. Enjoy!
