Preparing for the Siege (and NY pics)
filed under: Ramblings

freezer.jpgOk, so perhaps that's a little extreme. But in preparing to tuck into the really serious, crunch-time phase of writing the HIP TASTES book, I've been stocking up on household provisions to such an extent that I actually feel kind of like I'm preparing to go to war or something. I mean, I just spent $312.56 stocking my fridge and pantry with all this stuff. I couldn't quite believe the bill at the cash register at Safeway - truth be told I don't know if I've ever spent HALF this much on groceries!

Clearly, tough times (and an impending deadline) lie ahead. But at least I can rest assured knowing that when they arrive I'll have plenty of Lean Cuisines/dehydrated fruit/microwave oatmeal/Q-tips/garbage bags/Swiffer mop replacements on hand to handle the situation. Phew!

In other news, read on for some fun New Years pics. - CC

Don't forget that I can always smuggle you some provisions if you need them. We can develop a special knock. Cute pics from NY! Sooo fun!
