Making a mess in my kitchen. So I was going to go to Champaign last night, but Bob couldn't come with me and I wasn't sure if it would be smart to go alone when it's so cold out... and I had a ton of food to make.... and yeah. I was looking forward to it. Mur. O well, such is life.
I spent most of the evening in the kitchen instead. woot. The anise oil that I ordered a week and a half ago and paid extra for faster shipping (ha!) finally came so I made another batch of springerli dough. And I made supper... and started making creamed corn for our work party (which I was in charge of)... and made cupcakes to take to work on my birthday (yes, we still do birthday treats). I think I finally got done around 9ish. ugh. I like cooking and baking, but it's really hard to keep track of which ingredients go in what when there's so many things going on at once. I just know I left something important out...
Our CRIS (don't ask me what that stands for, I have no idea... gov't-ese) was in charge of our group Christmas potluck. There are two PhD's, two techs, two temps, and one student... They're either male or on vacation, which means me. Not that big of a deal, since planning a potluck for 30 people isn't anywhere near as hard or labor intensive as planning a yg invite or something... haha. It went pretty well, there was plenty of good food and people enjoyed themselves. And one of my Chinese co-workers brought spring rolls. Homemade spring rolls. So good. All of my Indian co-workers work elsewhere this year... so no curry or dumplings, which is sad.
Blessings.
