I finally got around to inviting coworkers over. Made a huge Italian feast. Baked penne with eggplant, baked ziti with ham and ricotta, and roasted asparagus with parmesan. Plus, I made fresh bread and our friends brought an awesome cheese platter. Then, for dessert, I made a plum cake and my coworker added a tiramisu. We got so full on food that we only had the time for one board game. I won, of course, hehe.
If you haven't already learned from previous posts, I am very allergic to fire ants. Hence, the immediate fear of a sudden swarm of ants on my foot. They were just black ants, but the bites are very similar to mosquitoes in that they itch and swell like crazy.
Normally, whenever my parents visit I like to cook a more ambitious meal because they are willing to eat anything. But apparently "anything" doesn't include celery root.
I mainly got a lot of shocked expressions and whispered comments everytime I walked by a group of teens. One group actually did ask to take a picture with me. I also got dirty looks from some of those on the "Team Edward" side. Overall, it was fun.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
I am an illustrator with an education in industrial design. After graduating college I decided that illustrating was what I wanted to do for a living. So, in an effort to build my art skills and promote myself I decided to start this blog.
Hope you enjoy.
