thursday?

does thursday dec 11th at 8 pm at echo's house work for everyone? i am sorry this is such late notice but this month has been crazy for me and it is about to get crazier.  so please leave a comment on here and let me know if that works. it is ok if you haven't finished the book yet, i haven't either.

Christmas Carol

I did already get the book from the library, but I was looking something up online about it when this site came up.
It has the full text on line and it's free. In case you don't have a copy, just read it from home. =)

(key) lime pie recipe

1 - 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup lime juice
2 tsp. grated lime zest

whipped topping:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp. granulated white sugar

Whip egg yolks until they are pale and fluffy. Slowly add the condensed milk, beating to keep mixture fluffy. Stir in the lime juice and zest. Pour into a prepared graham cracker and butter pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, or until set. Let cool. Refrigerate and top with whipped topping before serving. Enjoy!

(side note -- i never saw the key limes at foodland, so i used regular Persian limes in the one i made at our 'to kill a mockingbird' gathering. ya'll liked it, so use whatever limes you can find!)

and the book i choose is:

thanks and a follow-up to the dramaaaaa

thanks everybody for coming last night and making my night.

and i am so sorry to those who wanted to actually watch the movie- it's an academy award winning really good classic, but since it was a little longer and we started a little late i just really wanted to have enough time to chat and hang out and be friends!

so i hope you'll forgive me for switching it off :)

anyway- as always i had a blast just hanging out and talking and i NEEDED it so much so thank you! it's nice to have good friends.

AND A FOLLOW UP TO THE PARKING DRAMA: i felt like i needed to be more neighborly so i went next door this morning and apologized to them for the situation and chatted for a bit and they were so so nice and told me they normally wouldnt mind- they just had no where else to park after work. it's all good and resolved and i feel very good about them at the present moment... which is nice since they hate our landlords and have always treated us accordingly... so maybe it was all for the best! haha :)

and that's it- i'm looking forward to a christmas carol. hopefully we can see rachel and kristen too next month- we missed you two! adios and have a great thanksgiving!

dont forget!!

to come to my house tomorrow night (Tuesday NOV 25th) at 8PM!!

... or i'll have to eat a whole bucket of fried chicken by myself ... oh how despressing. :)

SEE YOU SOON!!!!!

call or email me if you need directions! and as for parking... this is always so annoying, sorry friends ... try and carpool to cut down on the drama if you can and park at the end of the street (like by the rock wall right when you turn on the street) if parking right in front of my house is taken...which it most certainly will be except for one spot paralell to my driveway right behind my little white car.

or there is always parking at matti's and stef j's and hiking your way up. it'll be good for your glutes. :) (i had a picture of a big booty here... but thought it was sad on second thought- haha)

yep, it is indeed next week!

this morning echo and i were talking about the to kill a mockingbird party and it is indeed less than a week from today! so write this down wherever you write down important things to remember:

When: Tuesday November 25, 2008
Time: 8 PM
Place: Stephanie Robertson's (call her or ask a friend in the know if you dont know where that is)
What are we doing: watching the movie and eating southern comfort food!

echo is making homemade mac and cheese
ashley is making really good cornbread
stephanie robertson is thinking about picking up some fried chicken

and since it is 8PM at night this is more for fun than for dinner so we dont need much else.

anyone want to bring like baked beans or fruit or drinks? or something else southern that i am forgetting about?

let me know! please come (even if you didnt read the book- we just want to party) it will be fun!
