It was a busy weekend...

[moonwise]

...that started out with a big laugh from our bossman, of all people. We were all at Social having beers, and he decided to ask the group what we thought of his Christmas situation. Both his sons are coming home for the holiday and bringing their lady friends, and he's got three rooms and four people. The upshot is that he doesn't know whether he's behind the times to not allow his sons to sleep in the same room as their lady friends (Rob and I shook our heads "no," Melanie said "well..." to which the two of us replied, "your parents are hippies, they don't count." Her parents are hippies, too.) So bossman was ruminating about why his wife is really the one with the problem; he said that his kids are 30 and 27 y/o and at this point in their lives... well... they have experience. To which I said that "well if you had daughters, it would be a WHOLE different story."

He started to laugh and said "yeah - boys in the barn, girls in the attic, and me on the stairs..." "With a shotgun?" I suggested helpfully. Of course the group is on the floor and now we all have this great mental image of bossman in overalls with a shotgun on the stairs...

I don't know why we always end up talking about sex in this group. Last week it was whether you'd ever caught your parents.

The coconut/chocolate/almond bars sound delish. ;)

*grins* They are pretty good. Not as good as I'd hoped, but they were challenging to make, and that was most of the fun. :)

Hey, anything that involves a candy thermometer, I steer clear of. ;)

*grins* That's the nice part; they don't need a candy thermometer. I don't even own one. You just have to simmer coconut cream; no big whoop. :)

Yum, coconut cream . . . light or dark chocolate? Don't supposed you'd be willing to share the recipe?

[arafel.livejournal.com]

Sure thing, I'll get it tonight! :) It's from Williams-Sonoma, it's no secret.
