Take that, Murphy!

I win!!

I came home from hanging out at a coworker's (very fun and relaxing, and got a mix CD to boot), to find that:

1. My Amazon package that I just placed an order for this morning has shipped!!! Fruits Basket! Joy!

2. My lemon curd has set! I can actually spread it onto my scones with a knife!

3. My clotted cream has clotted! It is actually the consistency of soft cream cheese, like the recipe says!

4. audiography is finally having holiday week! Hey, I like Christmas and Christmas carols. And random indie non-Christmas carols, like the Pogues' "Fairytale of New York."

5. People at work liked the gingerbread and applesauce cake I made! I was pretty sure about the applesauce cake, because it's the first thing I ever baked in California and the first recipe I messed around with, and I love it to bits. But it was nice to know that Try #1 at gingerbread worked.

I'm coming over to eat clotted cream and scones!!

Really? Or just... virtually?

I lure you to NorCal with food!

As much as I would love to pig out on scones and clotted cream for real, I think it'll just have to be virtually.

*sigh*

Why don't you come down here, and then I can eat your scones and clotted cream, and you can stare at my bookshelves? Does that sound like a deal or what?

Alas... but yes, I do plan on making it down to LA sometime! Although sometime may be around July...

Let me know, and I'll invite you and Rachel for dinner at my place.
