Happah Happah Humpday, Peeps!

Yeah yeah yeah, I know. I've sucked at blogging lately.

Actually--I have been blogging. Sort of.

I've been busy hacking recoding my akatseyeview blog to get the &%#! Blogger template to allow me to post larger views of my photos on it.

HOURS of hacking re-coding attempts later--I have achieved success! WOO! *pumps a victorious fist*

Lotta work left re-posting my pics to match the new format-lotta work. *sigh*

So yeah. Much of my spare time has been working on my other blog--thus allowing for my sad neglection of you, Peeps.

Nothing much new is going on since I last spoke with you.

Work is better. Actually--much better. Which is a good thing as I was tired of hearing myself "yip" about it all the time to anyone and everyone who stood still longer then 2 seconds thus making them a "yip-about-work" target.

Lord V still enters the room with shifty eyes, sniffing the air like a nervous gazelle in tiger territory, though ;)

Ah yes. I do have a bit of news to update you with.

Last Saturday was our first Dinner Club party. I am greatly relieved thank god almighty HAPPY to say that my Apple Strudel was a success!

No, I didn't burn it. *eyeballs you*

I didn't know however. that I was supposed to pull the filo dough out of the freezer 5 hours before using it.

Dangit!

I managed to save myself though by nuking it in the microwave...turning it and kneading it softly every 10 seconds so it de-thawed (semi) evenly.

It was a bit shaky to work with as it was thin like a fine layer of skin and kept tearing--but I managed to glue each layer together with melted butter that I brushed on it--and WALLA! No one was the wiser.

*mops my brow*

Next dinner? Is Moroccan and I've heard I'm in charge of H'orderves. Pfftt. I can handle that.

*Z snaps*

So that's it, Peeps. That's all my news.

Do me a favor and go check out my AKatsEyeView site and let me know what you think of the changes.

Mmm-K?

Thank you.

Thank you very much. (*Brenda from Closer Southern voice*)

*pause*

Watchu' still doin' here? GO! Chop chop! *claps hands*

*tsk*

Kids these days...

Moroccan? hmm ... do keep us posted what will happen ...

those are some nice pictures. have you printed any of them? the real prints usually have a whole different feel. bound them together and it would make a really unique coffee table book. or maybe you can give them out as xmas present. better yet, sell them!

Aafrica: I took a pic of my strudel...I'll have to post that :)
I printed out a few of my pics. I didn't have the right photo paper so they came out without the subtle lighting that makes a good pic so important (at least to me) :) I've since purchased better paper so I will attempt a printing again! :D
