I'm hosting a baby shower for a good friend tommorrow. It's her second child but she had her baby on the same day (the same day!) her first shower was scheduled. Hijinks ensued. So I decided to throw the do-over shower for baby 2 tomorrow. People (good people!) are coming to my house. It's a mess and I'm waiting for my motivation to come to begin showering and then cleaning for the shower and then baking and then making some art and sending some applications to some opportunities.

So then. That's that and I'll tell you more when I know it. A short report on the success of this recipe will follow at some point...
