Sunday Night: A Lady and a Pot of Hot Fat

I just spent the last two hours frying things. Delerium Tremens (the beer, not the shakes) was involved in this frying. That *might* not be on the safety-approved list.

Tomorrow is my writing group’s two year anniversary. I’ve only been with them for about a year and a half, minus the few months where I was not living at home. Still, they’ve become my writing family. We’re a group of seven professional women (well, save for me) and coordinating schedules is always a nightmare. It’s rare that all seven of us make a meeting. However, somehow everybody manages to show up when there’s food.

Thus, I’ve spent the last two hours frying. Tomorrow I might make strawberry sauce and chocolate sauce. Last year I did a cake, but I just don’t have one in me this year.

It felt good to be over a pot of bubbling frying things. The recipe only called for about half a cup of beer and I certainly wasn’t going to pour the rest of my favorite beer down the drain.

I feel decidedly golden right now, perhaps with slightly crispy edges.
