A Redwall Feast

Well, today was Granny's birthday (that's my dad's mom if you didn't know). Well recently us granddaughters have gotten her totally hooked on Redwall. She's been reading them for about 2 months now, and she's already on the 3rd to last one! It's pretty amazing how fast she reads. Anyway, for her birthday, we decided to give her a feast--Redwall style. So Mum and I planned a menu from my Redwall cookbook. (I bought it and had it signed by Brian Jacques himself in Berkely 4 years ago...amazing experience.) We had all my girl cousins over, so it was Annie, Becca, Olivia, and us, plus Aunt Laurie, Aunt Jenny and Auntie Bev. And Granny, of course. We had so much food here, it was a great success. Also we all donned Redwall names for the day, I was Storm Gullwhacker. For those of you who don't know Redwall, she was a mouse who lived on her own for years, and defended herself with only her Gullwhacker, which was a rope with a knot on the end. It was called Gullwhacker because her main source of annoyances were the seagulls, and she pretty much nailed them with her rope. She was amazing. And she named herself Storm. The pic is of her.

On a completely different note, I think my daddy just did something wierd with some power tools in the kitchen and it smells like something just blew up in there...and I was trying to climb over one of our baby gates and I'm really too short, but instead of being able to hop off like I planned, the gate caught on the huge hole in the bottom where my Converse wore them out, and ripped almost the whole bottom of my pants off...oops. Also now there's like a 3 inch slit going up the back of the leg...so I just messed up my favorite jeans...peachy.

Anyway, the feast was a lot of fun. The food was really good...I love food :) And I basically have nothing else to say. So now I'm done.
