Raclette and Champagne

all photos by Erianne Berg

a few weeks ago i had the crafty aunties and friends over for a night of feasting on raclette, drinking champagne and a sleepover.

we had fun!

my erin (erianne)was sitting back taking photos and i thought you might like to see.  my house looks really cluttered to me in these photos but you get to see more here than i've been able to show you up til now.

here you can see the raclette grill that Natasha brought over.  the grill has 8 individual trays to use for grilling so it's great for a little party around the table! 

we are all wearing my old grubby t-shirts because the raclette cheese smell is so strong when it melts we didn't want our good clothes to stink forever more!

i need a haircut soooo bad!  it's so long i can tie it in a knot at the back.  the ends are just fried!

it was so lovely to have the ladies over for a relaxing night of feasting and drinks.  we drank really great champagne and even used the raclette grill to melt chocolate over strawberries on french bread.....sooooooo good!

here you can see some of the raclette toppings and the pile of raclette cheese ready to go.  if you haven't tried raclette and you ever have the chance, Go For It!  it's fantastic and such a lovely way to share a meal with friends.

Oh, I cant wait to see this!!  Love Sophia's work!

Evelyn Evelyn!

OK, so Blogger is not being nice to me again and keeps trying to publish this post, half done, and it wont let me align left!  Bugger!

No matter!  Evelyn Evelyn!  August and I are going to see this performance on Wednesday night at the Showbox Market.  If you aren't busy, you should check it out!  Not sure if tickets are still available though, and it wouldn't surprise me if its sold out. 

 Do you love weird, wacky, cabaret, vaudeville, burlesque, theatrical, craziness like I do?  Yes?  Then this is right up your alley! 

Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley are the duo behind Evelyn Evelyn.  Amanda was/is part of the Dresden Dolls and Jason Webley is also a well known accordion player who Chad and I saw in Portland last summer when he opened for Neko Case or The Avett Brothers, can't remember which. 

Anyhow, Amanda is married to Neil Gaiman.  Yes, THE Neil Gaiman.  And as Kirsten so aptly put it, "you're supposed to be impressed right here!"  

Look up all three of these cats and see if you might want to check them out the next time they roll thru town or out there on the inter web.  Fun, Fun, Fun!

Check this out on YouTube and prepare to be smitten: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om5LtHKMrio

See what thrills you, have fun, and be happy!
