Jesus. There was a shooting just one block west of the downtown district last night (restaurants, shops -- although this was at 2 a.m.), and one person was killed. And driving home through town tonight, we had to pull over for cops -- a huge brawl broke out in one of the bars, at least a dozen people were arrested, and campus police were there as backup.
Stop that, people! This is a nice town!
as a housewarming gift, I gave him a rubber mallet. Everone needs one of those.
Dear heavens, that is awesome.
I just had that Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate with Speculoos Cookie Cream
Sooooo good!
I bought one of those and one of the caramel today. The checker was raving about them. Kinda looking forward to nomming.
The caramel is excellent, but then I'm a sucker for chocolate/caramel. (Although, to be totally honest, I prefer my caramel more firm, less liquidy, like a Rolo.)
TJs is TOTALLY running with my cookie spread cookie filling cookies idea!
I've had a mallet since college (won it and the honor of being the Gremlin in the Midnight Croquet sprees.) And I've found it quite useful!
Kat and Lori gave me a rubber mallet with their establishment package. Invaluable stuff.
Watching
Fright Night.
I like this! It should have done better. Colin Farrell's on fire, so to speak. And I really like how injured vamps act--they're all feral and creepy when their higher functions aren't engaged.

So sad I have no Trader Joe's no mo'.
Amy, on the bright side, at least your town hasn't had 20+ murders in less than a month? (I AM LOOKING AT YOU NEW ORLEANS.)
The caramel is going to be my downfall I think. It felt like I could break off just a section. If so, gooey caramel is just fine with me. I need to eat dinner first though.

Oh, I know. It's just a little disconcerting when things like that don't usually happen here.

You can.
If so, gooey caramel
And it is. But very yummy.
