Space Cadet

Some time ago W-Bird proclaimed herself a Space Cadet and I confessed that I was a member of that Cadetship   I have recent proof too - I promised photos of my New Years Eve and then promptly forgot my camera DOH   I did take some photos with my phone.

It was a fun bbq and even the plate I took (stuffed aubergine) worked out well - to my relief given I didn't have all the ingredients in the recipe and had never cooked eggplant before (indeed this was the first time I had ever bought it).  Anyhoo I left early becoz I got a txt from my beloved daughter "... bringing a horde of friends home..."  Eek,  a horde of teenagers at my house on NY's eve when I'm not there - like that is going to happen .  We spoke on the phone and I was told it was only going to be 4 (yeah right) .  They also wanted alcohol and to roam about (I live very close to the beach) I went home and made a deal that I would get them some alcohol provided they stay in the house and be sensible with it.  Well 4 were and 3 weren't (including my daughter).  sigh.   I will not say anymore on the matter except, I would probably do it again because I would hate to think of them in town/at the beach getting random guys to buy them alcohol and getting into that state.    On a flippant note, I was asked for ID when buying the alcohol - woo hoo

Back to the bbq, it was too hot at first to put on the suits - I have a whole new respect for sumo wrestlers, it was hard work wearing the suits, bugger carrying around all that weight and bulk for real! 

My friends lemon tree died so she decorated with empty lemon juice bottles (the little lemon shaped ones) and beads, it looked really cool imo.

So I hope you all had a fun NY's eve.  Are you a member of the Space Cadet League, what was the last Space Cadet thing you did?
