Though your hair is blue, we think another world of you

Meeting up with [livejournal.com profile] nineweaving, [livejournal.com profile] sartorias, and [livejournal.com profile] skogkatt at Burdick's was delightful, especially since the group included Skogkatt's mother and later two other writers who may or may not have livejournals. I brought home several packages of chocolate ghosts and bats for my mother, in preparation for the annual Halloween party. [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel and I made omelets for dinner while two small cats watched with rapt attention (nobody has to feel sorry for them, they got turkey). Since more than half of the kitchen is still in storage and we have not yet received the replacement stove, I made oatmeal cookies afterward using a mixing bowl, a large fork, and a toaster oven; the results made me feel very accomplished, and after the third and a half cookie, very full. I cannot be the only person who sees the totally normal place-name "Torridon" and tries to remember which one of the Highlords of the Kencyrath that was.

Chocolate ghosts sound like they must be both tasty and insubstantial--I'm imagining bags of chocolate-scented air, or tins of chocolate smoke.

What a wonderful meet-up! A great group of people.

The torrid 'un, beginning with Formosum pastor Corydon?

It's all Byron's fault, really (as could be said of many things).

Burdick's is still my absolute favorite hot chocolate.
