Well of course, but I can't eat the kind of cake she wanted, and she wouldn't want the kind of cake I can eat. It was frosting-out-of-the-container, or nothing. I chose frosting. :)

Sounds nice! Maybe we all can see it sometime.

Dinner, large with x-cheese, pepperoni and mushrooms, going to pick it up now (they don't deliver but they're worth it)

Ooh, technically bought two days ago, but just got a shipping notice for: a Japanese tsukemono, aka pickling press. I desperately want to duplicate these pickled vegetables we get at our favorite Chinese place, without having to go to the Chinese place.

I hope maybe you can post some of your successes. I am intrigued. Plus I like pickles.

Groceries, so here we go :

Tomatoes (fresh, dried and canned)
Pasta (fresh and dry)
Parmesan
Chicken cutlets
Turkey cutlets
Pork ribs
Turkey drumstick
Sausages
Olives (green and black)
Flour
Butter
Sugar
Clotted cream
Canned fruits
Garlic
Seasoning mix
Chocolate with a touch of pimento
Milk
Etc...

Will do. Of course today I got distracted and started leveling ground for the goat barn... hmm... building permit? I'm still thinking that's un-American.

Good start, needs more red meat. :)

Looks like a mighty delicious haul.

There are so many things Un American these days.
They way I am feeling I would do it without a permit just as a form of anarchy.

Seriously, you need a permit to build a barn? It must be pretty big then?

Tell 'em to take it up with the goats.;)

Chicken, spices, wine, and charcoal. I am doing a slow cook jamacian jerk on the grill. YUM!

Clod. Why not an old crock or churn?
3-6 packs of beer. dry on sunday here.

nothing.

Pimento? Pimento to me are red things that go in cocktail olives. Or cheese. I've had chocolate with chiles in them. Maybe a terminology problem?

Actually, it'll only be 20x20 so I'll call it a shed and act surprised later.
