Totally gratuitous noms post.

Okay, so, I had a really rough couple weeks, and a friend of mine just took the Bar Exam so you can imagine how her past couple months have been. We decided to treat ourselves to a super yummy brunch at my place today -- and it was so good that we pretty much had brunch, lunch, dinner and dessert.

Then, because she totally loves dudes kissing, I made her watch Projekt Rev clips. Right up her alley, hee. She loves Patrick Stump -- this is independent of my influence, I swear -- so I totally made her watch a ton of Pete/Patrick stuff too, and then I hit her with Pete's sal and dean thing. Then we watched a ton of Torchwood. Man, a day of win. \o/

Um, I totally took a picture of our noms, btw.



We had ham, pepperoni, hard-boiled eggs, and swordfish. We had brie, feta, and a very sharp cheddar -- Dubliner, I think. Hummus. Carrots, sliced red peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Pears, strawberries, and grapes. And in the shot glasses, because we're totally classy, pickles, yellow mustard, chocolate sauce, and almonds.

And we drank tea out of wineglasses like grownups. It was AWESOME. *grins*

And since about half of it is sitting in my fridge still, it'll be awesome tomorrow, too. We're making this a first Sunday of the month ritual, so, you know, locals -- save the date and let me know if you want to join us. Trust me, there'll be enough to go around. \o/

Wow. I'm rather full, but your noms look really delicious. mmm.

They were soooo good. I think the Dubliner was probably the only thing that neither of us eats fairly regularly, but on a Sunday morning with company and careful set-up, all together they were perfect. ;-)

Awww, how fun. I may have to come stay with you some weekend (without a concert, holy CRAP) just so I can play.

I SEE YOU THIS SATURDAY! I'M SO EXCITED GIDDY!

(Also *hugs* - I'm sorry the last few weeks have been icky.)

Yeah um. Part of my bad week is several impediments to the fangirl birthday party. I'm still trying to figure out if I can go, Faye. :(:(:( I'm super bummed because I want to go hang out with you guys -- I miss you guys A LOT. But we'll see -- I am trying to jiggle some things around. Fingers crossed!

You are welcome to stay here, concerts or not, ANY TIME. *gloms!*

Ooooo, boo! I miss you so much! I'll cross my fingers.

Whee! *is glommed*

Dude, that looks *amazing*!

[identity profile] giddygeek.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
It was really good. And really easy -- we only had to boil eggs and cut some fruits and veggies. Especially good for me since I am a CRUDDY cook. *grins* Win!

Ooooh, that looks awesome. And yay for sharing kissing dudes!

[identity profile] giddygeek.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Heee, yes. She's so easy for the fannish stuff, I don't know how she's not IN fandom already. You guys should really join us some time -- I have a feeling that a little exposure to fangirls will tip her over the edge! ;-)

Dudes kissing always makes me feel better, too. And so do noms. Nom nom nom.

I'm glad you had a day of win!

[identity profile] giddygeek.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Me too -- we both needed it!

Dudes kissing made us feel better, yes, and her general love of fannish material, even though she is not in fandom herself -- she feels the squee, you know? It's pretty awesome to have non-fannish friends like her, especially considering we met in like, 9th grade. *grins*

Oh, that looks awesome! And actually, I am stealing the shot glass idea.

[identity profile] giddygeek.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
The shot glasses were the perfect size for what we needed, and they worked out great when we were storing the food in the fridge between rounds. *approves!* Who knew they were so multipurpose? *g*

Wow, that looks awesome. Also, damnit, I haven't seen you in forever! :(

[identity profile] giddygeek.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
I know, I was actually just saying that to Kerri, that we hadn't seen you since, what -- March!? A really long time! But hey, the first Sunday of the month, you know where I live. *grins*

Are you coming to Kerri's bday? I hope to see you then!

[identity profile] emame.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I have to work 2-10 that Saturday. >.< Just my luck! :(

Om nom nom.

That looks incredible.

[identity profile] giddygeek.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
It was goooood. It was just what we needed, you know? Fresh, delicious noms of many flavors. *grins*

[identity profile] jezzabe.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
I know exactly what you mean. And it looks fantastic. *hands*

I hope the rough weeks are at an end now.

That looks so delicious!
