3 cups of unicorn puree


so, i was baking massive amounts of delicious treats last night and the power went out. well, everything on my block went down to about 10% power, and my regular old oven was reduced to E-Z Bake status. i was expecting a friend to come over and hang out while i worked, so i lit a ton of candles so she wouldn't think i had left. i think she thought i was trying to set "the mood" for her...because, you know, nothing says romance like a hot, muggy kitchen and tons of cupcakes in the dark. i abandoned the food and we went to get a drink. lucia's is close by, and we had a glass of wine, but i think we offended our server by not ordering food because he told us to "stay hungry" as we were walking out of the door. i work in the service industry and i've never heard that epithet as a standard for dining hospitality. but, you learn something new everyday i guess.
