TBWITWW likes to cook, and for the last year or so, she's been assisting with the culinary program at a store downtown. Ben, the chef who was the coordinator of the program (and a really fun guy), had his last day on Saturday. Last night a few of the "regulars" got together at Suite Lounge to send him off in style. Now, as any respectable chef will tell you, bacon is the perfect food. So in keeping with that, all of the gifts were bacon-related including a nice selection of actual bacon, a bacon air-freshener, bacon mints and, even Mr Bacon vs Mssr. Tofu Action Figures. During the course of the evening, it was determined that henceforth the group would be refered to as the "Baconites."

And it was good.

Sunday evening, we had some friends over to celebrate TBWITWW's birthday. We had the usual insane quantities of food. I baked a cake. It was chocolate and had cherries. Apparently it was good. (I don't like chocolate, so I don't believe that it was all that great.) She got some fun gifts. (A jar of pickles!) and we played Wii and InPursuit (a cuthroat, team-based version for Trivial Pursuit.) And a grand time was had by all. We need to have people over more often.
