Groggy

Someone pass me the toothpicks to prop my eyelids open! I’m so groggy this morning. We had storms last night, and all three monsters ended up in our room along with a shaking dog. The dog and MM ended up in bed with us. The alarm went off at 5:00 a.m. and I wanted to die.

I got up, but I can’t say that I got a significant amount of work done. I’m so tired! YAWN. Two cups of coffee and I still can hardly string words together to get a sentence. Today at the EDJ will be exciting, because I’m swamped there, too.

So dark and early was a bit of a bust this morning, although I did get another 500 or so words. Must make more coffee….

As for Hell’s Kitchen last night, I was so ticked off when the three snobs voted Julia, the short order cook, as one of the two for elimination. I could not believe Jen tried to take food out of the garbage and serve it!!! I mean, how many times has this happened in a real restaurant? The thought is enough to make me barf. Anyway, I was proud of her when she stepped forward and offered herself for that mistake. Thankfully, Gordon recognized Julia’s skills and sent her back to her team. Come on, ladies. Julia helped you WIN the breakfast challenge singlehandedly! So what if she doesn’t know how to make creme brulee yet–give her a chance! And thank God Aaron is finally gone. What a weak, whiny pitifiul excuse for a cook!

Ooo — Hell’s Kitchen was great last night! Thankfully, Aaron has gone home, too. Julia keeps saving their butts, and they seem most determined to get rid of her. A threat, perhaps? And yes, Jen’s taking the pasta out of the garbage…that was just nauseating! Way worse IMO than the rancid crab! Great show! I hope you perk up as the day goes on.

You already have a “thing” about restaurant food. I don’t think you need Hell’s Kitchen’s help! Oi!

I don’t have cable at home, but so far on the blogs I read, I’ve heard about this show - and it never fails, but I love it when people talk so passionately about the contestants. Must be a fairly great show. Hope you get more done tomorrow and aren’t so tired!

I hate those early morning wake up calls when you don’t get a good night’s sleep. I hope today isn’t too hard on you at th eEDJ!

Joely,

I need your help! I found a post you placed a few years ago in reference to a Dumbo Dream Cake. Do you have a recipe or place I can go to get one?

I’m planning a suprise 60th birthday party for my mother and in doing so, having one of these made by a family friend as a trip down memory lane from when I was a kid.

Any help you could provide would rock!

Thanks!
-Marc

Still groggy after some long EDJ hours, but Princess Monster has discovered how to make coffee! Woo-hoo! She’s actually making it faster than I can drink.

Marc, I never did find the “official” Dumbo Cake recipe. If I remember correctly, it was a white or yellow box cake, two tiers, with fluffy pink frosting. Then we made the elephants out of large and small marshmallows, using toothpicks to hold them together. Best of luck and happy birthday to your mother!
