Scavenger Hunt
First and foremost - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, REDBLUR!
What started out as a quick grocery shopping trip as our house was being shown quickly turned into a scavenger hunt that took me all over Memphis. 3 Starbucks runs have been made. (A tiramasu recipe that calls for 14 shots LIES! It takes 30.) A 5 minute post office run for 2 cent stamps turns into a 20 minute sojourn which required consolation in the form of Star Wars stamps. The quest for mascarpone cheese took us to The Fresh Market in G'town, then back home - only to discover that we didn't have enough of that either, so off to The Fresh Market on White Station since the 1st store ran out. But first I get the bright idea that I want to check out the Memphis library since I'd never been in... and since Aaron was a helpless passenger in my car of whims, away we went, bumping along Poplar. But no! The Memphis library just isn't far enough from The Fresh Market on White Station, so I take the scenic route to downtown Memphis before swinging back on Union. Oh, and a tiramisu recipe that calls for 24 ladyfingers? All lies - try 40. And technically I need 50% more filling... but I refuse to buy more mascarpone cheese at this point. The good thing about this recipe? I have rum left over... or well, I did, lol.
So what exactly have I done today other than get the shit kicked out of me by a tiramisu recipe? Irritated my husband by continually announcing that the recipe lied again and pointing in the direction of the store/Starbucks. Um... and collapsed on the couch? I have a feeling tonight will find me zonked out in the tub, lol.

Oh gosh, I feel so...um, bad that you've worked so hard for the tiramisu! I promise to love it a whole lot!!! I know it's going to be great, and not just for the amount of suffering that went into it. Your day certainly sounds exciting!!!
