Something Squirrelly this Way Comes

Okay so blogger must've been hungover this morning as I couldn't access it. The party fiend. I wonder if it was hanging out with Cupcake this weekend....

Anywho, today was our "holiday lunch". We went to Ted's Montana Grill. I had a steak (cow not bison) that was pretty darn tasty, if a little salty. Despite being at a steakhouse, I managed to be surrounded by people eating seafood. Oy. The headache, mild nausea, coughing & watery eyes didn't stop me from enjoying the free meal though. Sitting near one of the VP's wasn't ideal but at least I was next to Kelp. She's always good for entertainment :)

Over the weekend I spent a dizzying amount of time looking for lemon juice at the grocery store. I ended up calling my mom and asking her where else I should look. I needed a fair amount so those little plastic bottles in the produce section wasn't going to cut it, especially considering how pricey they are. I finally found it (after finding an English speaking person & being directed to the powdered drinks aisle).

I made some more of my Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies on Sunday. The same ones that I made last year. This time I didn't goof up the sugar tho I did grate my thumb again. And the cookies are itty bitty. They're still sweeter & chocolate-ier than I prefer. Maybe because I didn't have quite enough of the powdered ginger. I used all I had and I wasn't about to go back out to the grocery store for more. I'd had enough of grocery stores on Saturday. I even added more of the freshly grated. Ah well, live & learn.

I also made some lemon squares (hence my need for lemon juice). I haven't tried those yet to see if they're tart enough. I figure I'll try them out tonight when I cut them up for transport into work tomorrow.
