BEDA Day 10: Have a crocodile

Good day, my dearest blog readers!

Today was one of those "wake up after 11" days and not do too much. I played Magic the Gathering again with Kristen and was trounced quite soundly almost every time. We took a short break to make butterbeer, which was quite successful. The whipped topping was much too strong, however, and I made a note on the recipe to fix that for next time.


After Kristen left, I spent some quality time with tumblr, where Adam was responding to a lot of asks. At one point they started to get out of hand, so he asked for pictures of crocodiles. I sent him one, but he never responded to it. And I grew sad. Here is a sad crocodile:

I think tomorrow I will make cookies. This seems like a good idea. Until the 'morrow, my dear blog readers!


With butteriness,
Maggie

BEDA Day 9: An Abundance of Geekiness

In exactly a week from now, I will be sitting in my new dorm room. All of my stuff will be moved in and put in place, and my parents and sisters will be back home. My roommate won't be there yet, so I will have one night by myself.

As excited as I am about this huge change which is looming ever closer, I just can't bring myself to talk about it right now. It would feel too self-indulgent. Because I KNOW that once I get to school it's going to be IOWA STATE this and IOWA STATE that. So for now, I will spare you.

Instead, let us talk about alcohol. Specifically, butterbeer. Specifically specifically, a non-alcoholic butterbeer recipe that I am going to try. So I guess we AREN'T talking about alcohol after all...

Regardless, today I went to the grocery store and bought all necessary ingredients for BUTTERBEER. And tomorrow I am going to brew the concoction. And then, I am going to DRINK IT!

I also might make butterbeer cupcakes again. These were the the product of my last try.

This next time around (if I actually end up making them), they will be mini cupcakes. Let us all take a moment to collectively say "Awwww!" Mini cupcakes. Aw yeah.

I believe that is all I have to say. I am going to go browse the Magic the Gathering forums and perhaps play a bit of Lord of the Rings Online with Rachel. Have a wonderfully geeky day.

With geekitude,
Maggie
