Too Much Fun

Carolyn and Rachie slept over last night. Started off with some Quinoa, ice cream and wine. The wine led to some Spice Girls and a possible sulfite allergy.

I made Quinoa Coconut Curry for dinner. I modified the recipe a bit since the grocery store didn’t have some of the ingredients, but I think it came out pretty well.

For dessert, I took a second jab at the smores ice cream. I used a different recipe this time with a few modifications. I used almond milk instead of regular and I toasted the marshmallows before adding them to the ice cream maker. This was THE best ice cream EVER. I have to make it every night EVERY NIGHT. I should have doubled the recipe because it was 100% gone in about five minutes.

Then came the wine. We went through two bottles over the course of a few hours. Inevitably, we started singing and dancing. First came The Backstreet Boys, then ‘N Sync. I believe the Spice Girls were my idea. After that we started singing show tunes, but that’s something we usually do sober anyway.

We got very sleepy around 12:30 and decided to retire for the night. I curled up on the couch and tried to sleep. Itch itch. Tried to sleep. Itch itch. WTF? Itch itch. I think it was about 2am when I went up to my bed, but I was still itchy and couldn’t sleep. It wasn’t a horrible persistent itch, just small tings of itchyness all over my body. Just enough itch to keep me awake. I think I finally fell asleep around 4 and woke up again at 8:30 and couldn’t fall back asleep because, still itchy. Actually I’m itchy even as I write this. As I didn’t eat or drink anything else out of the ordinary, I’m blaming the red wine, specifically the sulfites in the red wine. But who knows.

This morning I made waffles, no à la mode this time since we ate all the ice cream last night. Rachie went home and Carolyn and I did some Yoga. Yes, surprisingly, I’m not that tired. I don’t get it either.

Off to go furniture shopping.
