*Chocolate and Pixie Dust* - An August 2008 TR- 8/29 pg 6: Sort of an update

I sure will. Does it make you sleepy, too? Did you take it before you boarded?

I take one at bedtime the night before and one the first thing I wake up. It can make you a little tired, but I take the least dosage possible, and I am fine. Just takes away that "anxious" feeling...

I really liked Earl last trip. The food was good! I would say try it! Then get some goodies at Goofy's!

I won't bring my laptop, too afraid something would happen to it. Plus I want to be away from the temptation of checking in with work.

6 checked bags for 2 of you? Whoa that's a lot of stuff! LOL! I'll be checking one and having one carry on. I'm not a super light packer but by no means a bring it all kind of gal!

Jen! I will have to go back and catch up in a minute, but I HAD to stop by and post that I just spoke to my cousin, who lives in Boca Raton. She said she was calling me from the

Brett Michaels Concert!!!

OMG!!!!!! Tell her to take pics. I wonder if he's wearing a bandana with the hair piece or a full wig.

Oh Goofy's is definitely on my must do list!!!

6 checked bags for 4 of us. I'd need serious mental help if it were just for 2

 

[MadiMouse]

Oh so she'll be nice and relaxed too

I swear I hope no one judges us by our droopy faces and our tongues hanging out of our mouths.
When you went to DLR, did you take a lot of pics?

 

[Native NYer]

Yes, you read the title of my post correct. I'm cooking. Well, not cooking exactly. While I'm DISing tonight, I'm baking cupcakes. Today is Voldemort's 34th birthday and unfortunately I'll be turning 31 tomorrow (yes, ol Voldy and I have bdays back to back- is it destiny???? ), so I decided to bake cupcakes for our little celebration. I'd just bring them tonight, but he's working tonight. A 14 hour shift He's a paramedic. And the city that never sleeps there's always someone having chest pains or ODing on a narcotic somewhere.

I have a huge birthday dinner planned for Friday night at Mama Mexico. And I need to pick up champagne, chambord, and vodka in the morning. Yes, there will be a party at Jen's house!!!

I just read that back and realized just how domestic I'm being. What is wrong with me?!? I guess if I have kids I'll be able to plan their birthday parties. Well, minus the champagne, chambord, and vodka.

I wonder if the GF would let me sign up for the Grand Adventures in Cooking kid's class

I did take pics, but not sure where they are. I have pics at Alcatraz from my trip to CA too. Not very Disney though

Oh, you're having a birthday tomorrow?

What kind of cupcakes are you baking?

Yup, 31 tomorrow Time for the botox.

Duncan Hines yellow cake mix I need to get frosting. The only thing I have to smear on top of them is mayo. And that's just plain gross. But then again, after a few cocktails Voldy may not know the difference.

You know, I found turning 31 much harder for some reason than turning 30. Of course, I will be 34 this year, so I try not to think of my age anymore -- just what Disney trip I can milk out of it! Last year, our trip to MNSSHP was my gift.

Oh and get some frosting -- mayo is just gross sober or not.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELCOME TO THE BIG 3-1!

I just realized I will be 32 in October! Where has the time gone?

Don't have too many cocktails and end up peeing on a stick.

Hmmm you have a good attitude. Stop counting and keep going to Disney. Let's see how I can manipulate...uhmmm convince him to do

I have to decide if I'm going to get vanilla or chocolate frosting.

 

[MRYPPNS]

Jenn you could make frosting from scratch or even a nice home-made whipped topping would be delish!

Happy Birthday !!!!!!

Thank you. But I am NOT 31 until tomorrow at exactly 3:30 pm EST

I will try not to have to pee on a stick. I have a couple of spares just in case.

What do you need to make frosting??? And what kind of whipped topping? Do you mean Redi Whip on top of the cupcakes? I guess I could just bring a can of Redi Whip over to Voldemort's house and do it there.

Thanks!!!!

Muppets -- the answer lies with the Muppets!

Either one would be delicious!

Maybe the Goose needs to stay at home!

Sorry, I just couldn't let that one go. I was reading it and I was like OMG!!!! But then I realized you were talking about the cupcakes.

Quick Frosting
2 egg whites
6 tablespoons cold water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

In a stainless steel bowl, combine the egg whites, cold water, sugar, and cream of tartar in the top of a double boiler. Whisk until smooth. Place over boiling water and whisk constantly or beat with a hand mixer until the frosting is stiff and holds peaks, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla. Let cool, whisking often.


OR:
You can make a whipped topping with heavy cream and powdered sugar and a lot wrisking!

Maybe I'll dress up like Gonzo and bring the can of Redi Whip and cupcakes over.

Naaa I'll bring the Grey Goose. If I have to pee on a stick, it's ok as long as it doesn't interfere with Disney
OMG would I need a binder for that????

DH just asked me what was so funny.
