We have an action packed weekend coming up! Steve and I will be preparing a completely vegan meal for friends. It's both easier and harder than I thought. Easier in that tweaking how we usually cook some things will make it vegan with little effort; harder in that I kept saying things like, "I could make breakfast for dinner with all sorts of things!! Waffles, eggs, sausage. Oh, right - no sausage. WAIT. I have chicken sausage! Nope. Chicken is an animal. Oh…and the eggs are out too, I guess. Brinner is not happening." So I'm making spaghetti (with mushrooms, not meatballs and leaving out the parmesan) garlic bread (Earth Balance instead of butter), salad, and a vegan chocolate mousse (Steve is in charge of dessert). Animals: fun to pet, better to chew - Jim Gaffigan.
Mimi is also taking Wm on his annual school shopping trip. I am hoping he is more flexible than at his summer shopping trip where he had very firm ideas on what he was wearing! I'm still working on that bow tie. So far, he's not having it. I got him a really nice winter coat a size too big and told him to take extra good care of it and he can wear it for two years, as long a he doesn't grow too much and he goes, "well, we know that's not happening."
Wm has been working on his accent from the North (of England). At first, I was like, "are you doing a Scottish accent now?" But then, upon further listening, it was just a regional English accent. Pretty soon Wm will be able to travel all around England and blend right in!
