Birthday Presents!
Aug. 3rd, 2005 04:33 pmI finally spent my birthday money! Yay me!
As pretty much all of you know, my life has revolved a lot around food lately. :-) So anyway, I thought I'd go to Myers and grab some metal cookie cutters, and also some silpat sheets, and if I had enough left over, I'd grab the rather nice colander I saw. I saw all this last week when we went for lunch with the girls, so I had a reasonable idea of what was there.
However the metal cookie cutters were very cute, but I want to do vol-au-vents, and they did not have the round scone cutters that I wanted. And were only $10 for a set... And then I saw it. The Monstrosity. I thought to myself: Well, it's my thirtieth birthday. It should be something magnificent. It should be something stunning. And it should be something which is almost COMPLETELY useless. I felt mildly guilty afterwards, for about a minute. Which is impressive for me - usually I put things back regardless of how much I desperately need them.
But... BEHOLD! MY PET MONSTROSITY!
Anyway, I'm off to hug it while I have a nap. I'm reasonably sure this cold thing is almost kicked already, which is good cos usually a cold or flu puts me on my back for a whole week, pus two weeks recovery time. My Metropolis Monstrosity! It's almost Cthulhu-esque.... or perhaps more Hellraiser.... eat the cake the right way to get a gateway to hell...?
