NYE shenanigans (appropriate pandemic restrictions in place)
I always think I'm going to do Snowflake, but then January arrives and I can barely think. I do enjoy seeing all of your posts, though. Some of you, I've known for just a ridiculous amount of time, and others are new, but it's always pleasant to log in and see everyone.
(aka, I live in Georgia; I can barely stand to be anywhere online these days.)
So, I did bake the crazy Milk Bar cake -- it was my friend L's birthday and normally we celebrate it in Disney World, but that obvs wasn't happening this year. They're our bubble buddies -- L is high-risk so they don't go anywhere, like us, so we occasionally get together and try not to drink too much. We went up for NYE and they had made this D&D feast (L is the least fannish person I know, but her kids play (over Skype these days) with my kids and one of them ended up with a D&D cookbook and she is seriously bored, so she helped them make a ridiculous number of recipes.) And I brought the cake as a surprise (because up until 30 minutes before we had to leave, I still wasn't sure if it wasn't going to all fall apart. I was *giddy* as I peeled the acetate sleeves off the rounds and everything stayed together.)
Also, this was an insanely sweet/rich cake and I say that as someone who can eat multiple pieces of cake in one sitting. But that was a 6 inch diameter and we were cutting slivers and people were bailing out/sharing with each other.
Alsoalso, I had a fairly decent UberEats credit so I ended up with 4 pints of Jeni's delivered, which was about the most fun I've ever had with a food delivery service, highly recommend, will def do again.
The kids played board games; we found a jazzy Disney station on spotify to stand in for the Grand Floridian orchestra; none of the parental people made it to midnight but it was still a nice break in the stay-at-home-ness of it all.
