Really, people, I seem to be slipping. First, I missed the chance to entitle my l
ast blog post "Socks and Violins," for which I am still mourning.
And then, last night, I threw a little party. On the eve of the Super Bowl, I threw a Soup Night, and I never even made the connection until people were standing in my kitchen, eating soup and talking about the game and I thought, "Souper Bowl! ARGHHHH!" And my brain froze and I contemplated doing something wild and radical, like never buying yarn again, until I get my Pun Mojo back.
I did realize that only *I* can throw a dinner party and make people READ their way through it. (As always, you can click to embiggen.) (In case you're low on reading material.)

| Ana said, "Why are you making so MANY cookies?" And I said, "Because my philosophy about parties is that you can never have too much. Well, actually, it's less of a PHILOSOPHY and more of a PSYCHOSIS." |
A SOUPER time was had by all. (Yeah, I know: too little, too late.)

I totally want to knit these socks someday: http://www.renaissancedyeing.com/store_knitting-kits/
I like the Roman De La Rose version, although the Paatsama socks are a near second.
Except I, too, know that Second Sock syndrome waits on the threshold of Project hell. It was bad enough finishing a second fingerless glove. So perhaps they will linger on the list of things worth aspiring to.
But aren't they pretty?
'cuz, you know, I just can't tell from the sign.
Enough butter and eggs in those cookies to make them potentially LETHAL. I did have a big bowl of nice Vegan fruit next to them, in hopes that its karma would negate some of the buttery death next to it...
I really made the sign to point out the TYPES of cookies and also, to let my Vegan friends know that there was nothing for them on that plate. I think all cookies ARE, at least, vegetarian. (Picturing a cookie made of meat or chicken and...well, you know, that's kind of a disgusting visual.)
