In which I get presents for no reason, and plan to go to a party.
Last night my band had it’s first practice in weeks. The drummer’s still in California, and the bass player didn’t make it, but the four of us who were there had a vocal rehearsal that was worth the time.
One of the guitar players, PJK, had just returned from a business trip to China. He brought gifts back for BvB and me! It was like Christmas. He gave each of us an embroidered silk purse, three kinds of tea, a little carved cinnabar rouge pot, a necklace & bracelet set, and a silk bath robe. I’m so in love with my new black silk robe I can hardly stand myself. It was so nice of him to bring us presents.
In other news, tonight is Amazon Blonde‘s Cinqo de Mayo party. I’ll be heading over there immediately after work to make pico de gallo. She’s making guacamole and frying up some bull testicles. (Yes, you read that right. Testicles. From bulls. Who are now steers.) We bought chips, salsas, beans, and chorizo. There will be margaritas and mojitas. Ray’s bringing tapas and sangria. AB’s expecting twenty people or more.
I’m really excited… a party! I just hope I can stay awake long enough to get drunk. I haven’t slept well the past two nights and am pretty much exhausted. A nap right now would be soooo sweet. *zzzzZzzzzzZzzzz….*

bull testicles?
*barfy retching noises*
I prefer my testicles still attached and not fried.
hm. Was that TMI?
I just don’t even want to talk about it. -m
It does seem like the bulls had better uses for those testicles than you do.
The hostess’s father personally took those balls off those bulls himself. She said she’ll be beer battering and frying them. Since I have a Trendy Eating Disorder (vegetarianism), I shall linger near the guacamole and make faces. -m
real bulls? i heard it’s hard to de-ball full grown bulls. it’s spring, was he doing calves?
i guess it is a good thing that you’re vegetarian. i’m sure that deep fried stuffed jalapino peppers would be better than balls. i’m not that keen on eating weird animal parts.
I have no idea how old they were. All I know is that I saw the meat, and it looked… just like chicken. -m
*ahem*
Cinco.
😉
[smooch]
Not my fault. I found the image spelled with a Q so I went with it. -m
Happy sinko de mayo!
I’m showing skin over at my blog.
I saw your skin! -m
happy siete de mayo.
You too! *smooch* -m
so how be the rocky mountain oysters?
it’s truly gross, by the way.
happy ocho de mayo.
The fried balls were gone by the time we got there. GONE. *shudder* -m
