stevenpiziks | Pre-Beltaine

Wednesday I got home from school and set about prepping for Beltaine. This involved a trip to the store and a whooooole lot of kitchen time. The store trip was for strawberries, whipping cream, cream cheese, hot dogs, eggs, ice cream, and other treats. At home, I made a batch of cookies and a complicated strawberry pie with a cream cheese base. I did cheat and use a store-bought crust, but hey--I'd already taught all day.

I watched DOCTOR WHO on a portable DVD player while I worked, which was fun. Mackie, for once, didn't really want to help.

By the time I was done, it was bedtime for the boys. Once they were asleep, I put out candy baskets and set them out at their places on the dining room table. I was exhausted and went to bed soon after.
