Birth-month news!

[forgotten_aria]

It's my birthmonth!¹ And there are exciting things planned. You've already heard about my present of a patapon and a psp to myself, as well as a psp skin, as soon as I decide which one. Also I'll be getting Crisis Core (the FF7 prequel) at the end of the month. I'm saving opening and trying patapon for tomorrow. I'm sure that after that I will be unable to shut up about it.

There will be a party, don't know what day yet. Hopefully those people who couldn't make the last one, but wanted to, can make this one. The cake will not be a lie.

I want to get fondue at some point, and not pay an arm and a leg for it (resturant recommendations are welcome, but I'm betting it will be part of the party and I'll be asking to borrow some fondue pots.)²

At the end of the month, we will finally be trying to buy the new car,³ so hopefully that will make me shut up about it, unless the test drive goes horrible or something and I have to pick a new favorite.

By the end of the month, I'll be 33!


¹ For those that don't know. I don't tell people what day my birthday is, because there are some years I just don't want to make a big deal about it, and people are less like to wish you a happy birthmonth enmasse. Plus it's more fun this way! a whole 31 days to get the celebration in!

² I want to borrow, rather than own, because I don't want to store the fondue pots afterwards. Else I'd get one of those nice self heating ones.

³ ZOMG!

You can make cheese fondue on the stovetop in any heavy pot (like a cast iron one). Just put it on a trivet or potholder on the table and people will probably finish it before it gets cold. If it gets cold, you can just reheat it.

In fact, cheese fondue is normally done on the stove, then moved to the warming pot. We haveone that needs a little welding work; we'd be happy to lend modulo the repair required.

I can loan you a couple of fondue sets with burners, and a number of corningware casseroles, which are very good for retaining heat, and many fondue forks. (One of the fondue sets came with a pot that's very thin, and cheese tends to scorch in it, so I usually use something ceramic instead.)

Well, you know what THAT means. It means that you're going to get flooded with records in July!

Happy birthmonth! 8)

Happy birthmonth! I have no fondue pots to lend but would love to see you if party plans work out.

I think I'll be too lazy for the fondue.
