Flechette dances in
As requested - chocolate mousse!
and chocolate covered strawberries
and double fudge german chocolate cake
dang I've got some cravings 
I can't make fudge or red velvet cake but other than that there's not much I can't do bakewise- Tho I believe CMS does outshine me in the brownie department

Serenity, I recently passed up going to a wedding I was interested in (friends of my boyfriend) partly because I had nothing to wear to it. How silly our customs get sometimes. It does suck you have to spend so much on gas and drive all that way alone! Couldn't you get a friend to go with you? Pitch it as a vacation in Florida, they don't have to sit through the wedding with you... I'd say for the gift get something off their registry or that you know the groom will like. That's ok since you know him. And hey, you're British? I was born in Canada--where people love the queen and speak with accents... but with more snow.
I thought the wedding hijinks sounded hilarious, but of course, I wasn't mother of the groom.
Wow, chocolate goodness between you two! Wish I could sink my teeth into some of that. I never get to eat dessert anymore because my mother and sister are on weightwatchers (I'm not, but I'm stuck with their food). But I spent a long time this morning planning a Thai menu for tomorrow's shabbat dinner. Yum.

Oh yeah, and the hat looks SPLENDIFEROUS! You are so cool, Serenity! What a great crew we have, wow.
Amy, marveling

Amy-if only, if only.
If only I could convince someone to come with me to FL so I wouldn't have to drive the whole way by myself..
If only EVERY SINGLE item on my friend's registry hadn't already been purchased so I have to go scrounging for something suitable (which is really hard since I don't know the bride and her style or tastes.)...
If only I hadn't been born in the US and forced for many a year to live in the south so I could have a wonderful accent and also love the queen (For all our faults, we love our Queen! Pirates of Penzance anyone?)
If only there was a way to make virtual chocolates real so we could email you delectables...(but don't feel bad. I've been on a diet for months myself and hardly eat anything fun. That's why I talk about it so much here I think. That and alcohol.)
If only I could be at your house friday night because I LOVE thai (made some last week and it was fantastic. Yellow curry. What're you making? Also, I used to know the evening prayers in Hebrew, back when I worked at a daycare at a synagogue. But it's been awhile and I'm sure I've forgotten most of it. I can't wait till I get to learn hebrew.
Oh well. If wishes were horses...
Must get back to packing for my trip.
Oh, but thanks for the hat compliments, everyone. Really, it's not hard and it's fun to do.
And Flechie-I got a present in the mail today with your name on it!! Much thanks!! Your hat isn't done yet, I've had a busy busy week. But I just need to do the ear flaps and the pom pom, so I can finish it up early next week and get it out to you soon.

Thanks Amy, I was worried about stepping on somebodies sensibilities, I was going for the funny, not insulting. The groom thought it was hilarious, especially after about the 8th condom...But then thats why he's my friend.
Another Canadian eh? East, central or West? My favorite saving is, it's not cold out until you can skate on the lake, then it's time to start wearing a sweater and put the T-shirts away.
Serenity, NICE hat!! You do great work, takes alot of patience...
Did anyone read Soul's fanfic? Good stuff!! I hope he puts it in book form, I know I'd buy a copy even though I've already read it.

(I'm sure we have some interests NOT in common, they're just not coming up)
All the evening prayers start with "baruch atah adonai, elohenu melech haolam..." right? My first college roommate learned that much :) What a neat past you've had. Do you want to learn Hebrew so you can read the bible in the original Hebrew? I promise you it's worth the effort. The original words can be REALLY different and very meaningful (compared to some translations--hebrew to latin to greek to english definitely has its problems!)
Due to the little time I'll have before Shabbat this week, and my family's diets, I'm going to make a fresh red curry paste from scratch and then make two dishes with that as the base. It's not really a good idea to have two with the same basic flavor, but ah, the time! So one will be a red coconut curry with chicken and red pepper (at least) and the other some eggplant, green bean, veggie stir-fry. I also want to try a new paht thai recipe as I haven't yet found a perfect one. Generally I make thai iced tea for dessert as well. Thai cooking is so much fun! (ie delicious)
Safe:
I was born in Victoria, you? I know Vancouver Island is kindof Canada-lite, but it is SO beautiful. And I got citizenship--yay for universal free health care and gay marriage! We moved to California for a variety of reasons (better economy and job stability, weather, schools) but I still retain 10-20 "Canadian" words (ex: till, carpark, chesterfield, queue...) I only discover these aren't "American words" when I use one and people give me blank stares. Then I'm thinking, wow, I didn't know that was Canadian, I thought that was "normal". Happens with yiddish sometimes too. Anyway, the kids did tease the accent out of me when I moved here (darn kids! in your 20's everyone thinks an accent is cool!) but I still say "eh" every paragraph or so...
Cheers, Amy

I'm so glad you got it okay, CMS! and pretty quick too - my bank sent it out Monday or Tuesday.
About the wedding present - perhaps you could get a gift certificate at one of the places from the registery? That makes it easy for them to pick up any odds and ends or new pieces that came out since the registry was made.
I've done that several times and it seemed to work out well. I generally make a card or do something to personalize it a bit- or buy a really extravagent (sp?) card 
Good luck and have a safe trip!

Amy:
St. John's Newfoundland. Moved to Ontario when I was little. My mum has an accent, I don't, or at least I don't think I do.
Spent some time in Victoria and Vancouver. Grouse Mountain is quite a sight.
One thing I noticed about the US when I've been there (mainly Maine on my way down east) is that they don't use vinegar on their chips...

I've visited Canada: Niagra Falls a few times and Toronto and Quebec once each. The last time I was there was... uh... about 28 years ago... 
Oh, and if there is any yarn left, I would very much like a hat. I'll treat you to IHOP, Serenity!
