There's a couple Blogfans at My Door!

Remember Katy?
She was the very FIRST
Blogfan at my door.
(She was also the cool chickie I went to Vegas with last year.)
But this is the first time I got to meet her husband...
the infamous "Grumpy".
(So nicknamed at a time when he worked as a bouncer.
I heard he was very good at his job! ;-)

Katy and Grumpy from Virginia.

Ohhhh.... don't let that look fool you though!
He was not grumpy at all!!!
I'd swear he put that look on just for the camera.

ETA was 2PM.
Katy rang at 12.30 to say they were almost here!
I had planned to make several scratch pizzas for lunch.
I knew I had to hurry so I only got one photo before they went in the oven.

Left: Basil Pesto topped with Shredded Cheddar Jack
Right: Organic Spinach, Feta and Savoury Pecans drizzled with EVOO

There was more food, of course.
Alas I didn't get any photos.
I don't want to tease you
with descriptions of the different
cookies, scones and pizza they got to taste.
hee! ;-P

Laughing about anything and everything.

Katy wanted a peek at how big Brioche (the dog not the bread) had grown since her last visit. What perfect timing! I turned my back for a second when Grumpy tried to sneak out with a 50# box of chocolate.

He didn't get very far. Good dog!

All in all it was a great visit with fantastic convo throughout the afternoon. So glad you both went out of your way to come and see me! Same time next year?

5 Famous Meme
Peeps 'n Pastry

I've been tagged to do a brand-spankin'-new
Meme by MeHereNow.

As always, I can't simply copy.

I must put my own spin on it.

I encourage those I tag at the end to do the same.

She calls it her "5 famous people you're allowed to sleep with" list.

But the jin is calling it:

"5 famous Peeps and the Pastries I'd eat ~~off of~~ with them"

*giggle*

(I am going to take an immense amount of pleasure in researching this post... um... for you guys I mean. You deserve the best! Yeah... yeah, that's it. I'm sacrificing my time awlllll for you. ;-)

*snicker*

1. Josh Hartnett

Hartnett sounds a bit like Bartlett which reminds me of pears so I think we'd do a Frangipane and Pear Tart with Creme Anglaise for drizzling. *nudge nudge wink wink*

2. Wes Bentley

The only way I'd melt that intense gaze of his would be with my Black Pearl Truffles.

3. Jude Law

My Blood Orange Bavarian Cream would be fit for this Brit.

4. Josh Brolin

I think he might be the only one tough enough to handle my Dark Chocolate Dipped Vanilla Bean Cheesecake.

5. Ashton Kutcher

I think he'd scream for my Cardamom Ice Cream.

Your turn!

There's a [Mighty Fine]Blogfan at my Door!

Now- I'm guessing all of you want lots of photos, am I right?!!? Wellll... too bad. We went so many places, did so many things and had so much fun that, er... gee... we really didn't take but one single photo! Never fear dear Blogfans, as the pic is of the infamous Eebie himself blissing out on Biscotti and Coffee made by yours truly.

Isn't he cute?!!? This boy is amazingly intelligent too. ;-)

Let's post gratuitous Manty links, shall we?

Riverbank Lounge
We went there for dinner on Saturday evening... um... not realizing that's the only night they don't serve their fab food. BUT (!) ever the charming host, Ben went in the kitchen himself and brought out a phenomenal spread just for us that truly hit the spot. Thanks so much Ben!

Stumpjack Coffee
Next stop, the always rockin' Stump. (Don't be pervy peeps... that's a nickname for the coffee shop!) I had some inside info that the dudes playing live were supposed to be really good. Brian Sanchez and Nick Weiland of Whiskey Jars & Scandals were not really good... they were absolutely AMAZING!!! You could tell these guys love their art, they put their hearts and souls into that performance and really really rocked the Stump! As if live music isn't enough of a reason to stop in, there's always Kim and David who seriously know how to treat their clientèle. David took some great shots that evening of the band so I'm going to send you over to his Flickr set . You might even spy a jin and an Eebie if you look closely. Thanks again Kim and David!!!

More places to go and food to eat the following two days:

Rahr West Art Museum
I had a pastry delivery that Eebie graciously helped me out with. While I put the final touches on the display he got a peek at our museum.

Timeout Sports Bar
Eebie was looking forward to watching Spain beat Germany in the Euro Cup but, alas, I've no TV! *gasp* Since jin's don't normally frequent sports bars I didn't even know if we had one! lol! Thank you Yellow Pages and Congratulations Spain!

Kavarna
I can't recommend this place enough. Y'all know I go there every chance I get. I do believe Eebie was as thrilled with the food and atmosphere as I always am. Bravo!

Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary
What better way to spend a sunny afternoon then a wonderful walk through some of nature's finest. Please ignore the rumour that I gave Eebie girl cooties, it's SO not true! Mosquitoes! Mosquitoes I tell you! They loved both of us... should that be considered complimentary?

Maritime Museum
A visit here would not be complete without a tour of the sub. Kudos to our tour guide, he really knew his facts!

So- here I sit, pecking away in front of my dusty monitor, contemplating where to start to make up for a couple days off, when I realize, it's a damn good thing I do sit here, surfing, blogging, writing... or I never would have met a most amazingly awesome fantastic blogger named Eebie. Thanks for everything hon and you are welcome back anytime!
