Just a few not-so-related thoughts today i wanted to share....
I wonder what they're going to do to the Peppermill (aka R&D 7). They're in full demolish mode - the [west? closest to Mariani] wall is GONE as of this morning, and the concrete was being smashed to bits.
I need to deliver these to my faithful beta tester. I hope to do so tomorrow. My review is that the first batch was a little heavy on the cocoa butter, but overall pretty darned good. We'll see what she thinks.
Mike, Andrea's guy, wins some bonus points with me for not just sending us a thank-you for hosting him at dinner a few weekends back, but for sending it as a card, via snail mail. Snail mail is classy. The compliments to my cooking didn't hurt, either. A sure way to get fed again!
We have tickets to see Wynton Marsalis Septet tonight. I hope i can decompress enough to enjoy it. Check back for a report.
In the vanity department, there's a new picture of me up on my main page. I think i need a new title font now. The picture was self-taken the night of the Kidney Theives/16 Volt/KMFDM show. If you're feeling creative, send me submissions!
Posted by meriko at June 14, 2002 06:32 PMReport: Vanilla Latte bath bomb successfully deployed last night at 18:42 pm Pacific Standard time. Packaging was exceptional! Vanilla scent dominated slightly by cocoa - did not negatively impact tester's experience at all. Bomb fizzed admirably, much to delight of tester. Cocoa butter did eventually dissolve, leaving skin buttery soft 16.18 hours later.
Grade: A - (More vanilla! Yum!)

Posted by: Mike on June 17, 2002 04:34 PMYay -- if Mike gets fed again, that probably means I get fed again! Of course I always assume I'll be invited back, what with being closely related to that man Meriko's always complimenting, but it's nice to have it reiterated!
Posted by: Andrea on June 21, 2002 05:17 PMOh you - you know you're always welcome, and on your own merits!
