In the morning we took a girls' day out. Heather wanted to go to Waffle House, so that's where we started. The four of us squeezed into a two-person booth; when our food arrived, we practically had to stack one plate on top of the other, but I guess that's part of the diner experience! We all ordered waffles. I ordered a double waffle against the waitress's advice. For some reason, I thought a single waffle was half a round, and a double waffle was a full round. I don't know where I got that idea! I got two full waffles, but Andrea and Kayley were happy to help me eat them.
After that, we took a spontaneous trip to Kohl's. All of the girls bought a few things each. I am happy to say I did not. That is the French Method at work.
When dinner time rolled around, we had a finger-dipping-food party. Wings, chips, and veggies with barbecue sauce, spinach cream cheese dip, honey-tabasco sauce, ranch dressing, and queso.
I gave Heather a chocolate fountain, which she'd been asking for, and we set it up immediately. We didn't add enough chocolate to get a lovely flowing curtain, but it was still fun. It was more like a game of "Who can hold their skewer in just the right spot to catch the biggest drop of chocolate when it falls?" We dipped strawberries, pretzels, and pound cake. And we played Chatter Matters.
We saved the pretty cake for the following day. My mom copied another cake that was pictured somewhere on the internet, but with a few changes. The silhouettes she cut with a craft knife out of edible paper, and the fun rope border is fondant.
