The Iceman Cameth

One of the things that keeps it interesting in New England is the weather. An ice storm just knocked out our power for the whole morning.

Save the clock tower!

What to do with leftover ice sculptures...

More weird stuff that women do

A diaper cake for a baby shower? Who the hell thinks up this stuff, anyway?

This represents about $150 worth of diapers and other related baby stuff that women coo over. Oh, and about 2 hours worth of design and construction work.

Paisley never goes out of style

Chicken Pie 2007

And neither does good, stick-to-your ribs comfort food.

Once again, the first Saturday in November finds Linda and I elbow deep in food as the First Congregational Church has their annual Chicken Pie Scholarship Dinner.

I wrote about this last year, and it was pretty much the same thing. A lot of work in preparation and cleanup. We served about 160 dinners and raised about $1,200 for the church scholarship fund.

Not as many leftovers this year, which is just as well, considering we've both done so well about losing weight. And just like last year, I received a number of compliments on my apron. In fact, so many people commented that I began to wonder if they were being facetious.

Naw. Not after I took such pains to coordinate the apron with the rest of my outfit, right?
