Hello, everybody!
As you've probably seen, the event has started.

I've opened a Winter Tea Room. Please come and check it out.

The link is in my signature.

Will there be hot cocoa there?

I am quite tired of being cold.

Hot cocoa would be lovely.

Oh, chef items in the event store. <3

I haven't look at the store yet, but its next on my list! Yay, winter thread!!!

Yes, we will also have hot cocoa.
Possibly with a touch of Kahluha in it (for those of age, of course).

guess not me then....*sigh* I'll stick to regular cocoa.....

Ah... It's so quiet over here and blessedly peaceful.

The event thread was just getting to be way too much for me.

Of course, I come over here even though I don't plan on staying online for too much longer. Damn manager... *grumble grumble*

I'll stick with regular cocoa as well, I haven't had much alcohol in my life and I'd rather keep it that way. ^^

How about a traditional version of eggnog, eh? Just a touch of brandy in it.

Apparently I come off as someone knowledgeable about alcohol. The other day someone was asking me what liquer you put in a specific drink, and it just happened to be one of the very, very few that I actually knew the answer to.

Maybe they knew just what question to ask? XD

What does brandy taste like?

Um... I don't know, actually. I've never had the stuff.

See? I don't know much about alcohol at all. I can't taste the difference between one whine or the other for the most part, and it's largely the same story with beer. Granted, I can tell the difference between whine and beer though I'm not particularly fond of either. Actually, I don't at all like the taste of beer. Bleh!

I do know what amaretto tastes like, but that's only because amaretto sour is my adult beverage of choice.

I can't drink it so don't ask me!

I've only ever had some sort of clear alcohol mixed in with soda so I couldn't taste it. ^^;

I'm sorry Kat, we can talk about something else if you want.

sure! because all I know about alcohol is it smells!!

I just ate my left over pizza, it was delicious. ^^ A white sauce with cheese, artichoke, spinach, cucumber, and I think it had some mushroom on it. Yummeh!

Being old enough to drink isn't really that big a deal if you don't think of it as one.

My parents were quite clever about the whole thing. They removed the temptation for me to go out and do legal drinking by letting me try a sip or even a glass (once I was older, of course) of some drink. While so many people I knew were going out and getting hammered because it was illegal and therefore "cool," I was free to have a drink or two if I wanted it. My parents figured that if I was going to drink, they'd rather it be in a safe environment and under their supervision. It also completely removed the "coolness factor" since I was allowed to do it.

A clear alcohol like that might've been vodka. It's brewed with the intention of being tasteless--I don't remember where I learned that one!

I've had sips of wine before and I;m like a wine smeller because I have a good nose and I can tell the difference between them all and what they were brewed in. My dad is amused by that.

I can see why he'd be amused, I would too. But I probably couldn't tell them all apart.

I think I found a good outfit but I find myself having to play with the pixels in paint to put the outfit together myself. XD I just hope it layers the way I think it will.

Well, I hope it does come out well, Nenna.

I'll show you guys what I put together when it's done. I do it all the time on another site I like to go to. ^^

I prolly can't tell them all, but the distinct types that were brewed like in oak or the white and red, that all smells different.

yeah. good luck nenna.

Thanks guys, it's finished! I think I like the teal on the outside better, but look at how well those colors match!

cute! I like teal outside too.

Ah. I'm playing aroung with those same skirts for my new outfit, actually. That's kind of amusing.

I was thinking that I really liked that over skirt and I wanted to do something teal and brown but the browns they have are meh and I don't like the shirts so I was just browsing to see if I can find a brown skirt and maybe a top to go when I saw the circus corset... it's just too perfect! <3
