I Still Suck At Veronica Mars

my bff (kerry) spent the night last night at my place.

unfortunately for kerry, the bed and breakfast known as my place was missing its usual pancake chef (karen) this morning. karen and my friends (hot amy and jen) are taking a little vacation together to visit one of two states where self-service filling of gasoline is prohibited... new jersey (oregon is the other state according to my friend wikipedia).

so, with the usual pancake chef's absence, i tried my hand at making pancakes... and not just any regular pancakes... blueberry pancakes. (i couldn't sell kerry on the morningstar bacon or sausages.) unfortunately, the pancakes did not turn out that well. i had accidentally dropped a whole bunch of blueberries into the pancake batter. (next time, i'll make sure to just grab a handful of blueberries as opposed to shaking the container of blueberries until they fall out.) the pancakes were a probably 20% pancake batter and 80% blueberry. in reality, i probably should have called this post "i suck at making blueberry pancakes"... because i did today.

needless to say, kerry humored me and ate the blueberry pancake concoction. she claimed that the blueberry pancakes were okay... but she's too nice. she is my bff after all. i'm a perfectionist when it comes to my cooking much like she is a perfectionist when it comes to her baking.

speaking of baking, after breakfast we finished making kerry's nephew's birthday cake. more appropriately, i watched as kerry finished making her nephew's birthday cake. she applied the frosting and covered the cake in m&ms. the cake actually turned out pretty well, considering it was looking a little sad last night with all of its burnt pieces removed. while kerry was putting the final touches on the cake, i was wrapping her present for her nephew. (for anyone curious, she got her nephew a snoopy sno-cone machine... i haven't used one of those in ages.)

shortly thereafter, we did what any bffs would do with free time... we watched more episodes of veronica mars. it is such a good show... and yes, i still suck at veronica mars. i think both kerry and i are becoming a little obsessed with the show. we took a very quick break from watching the show to eat lunch, only to quickly return to the couch to watch more episodes of the show. (lunch, by the way, was also not a good cooking experience for me. i grilled hot dogs. the hot dogs came out okay. the hot dog buns, however, were a little dry... no rachael ray yum-o sound today... sad.)

anyway, kerry eventually had to leave for her nephew's birthday party. i hope she had a good time at the bed and breakfast. i actually had a blast with kerry... but of course, i normally do when she spends the night. i must admit, i am looking forward for her to spend the night again so that we can watch more episodes of veronica mars.
