ellyssianWell, the full moon decided to skip out on the feast yesterday - honored guest, no less. Bah, guess being made of cheese already it had no desire to stop by for a bite of Deeper n' Ever.

noone234 in the astronomy business. Justin and I delivered Deb's scope to the front yard but damned if I could remember which axis was supposed to be aimed north. As I explained to kk1raven, that ain't my shtick. I seemed to keep pointing the thing into the trees, which is more my area of expertise, but that wasn't all too helpful: the trees were much more clearly seen without the benefit of being flipped upside down in an astronomical telescope. They did get some stars in focus later, I heard, and so 1jadedhart went out to take a look - but I never heard back on more detail.
The Deeper n' Ever went quicker n' ever, with only a few mouthfuls left over from two generous dishes (each dish normally provides this family of 5 with two meals...) Deb anddragonflypug whipped up a salad that also went in the blink of an eye - the tomato monster Mr. B polished off at least one whole box of cherry tomatoes on his own. noone234 provided the Riesling - my personal favorite form of grape juice - and that gave a nice finishing touch to the meal. After a short while - and the attempted setting up of the telescopes - we brought out the delicious lemon cake made by kk1raven as well as the chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate covered peanut butter balls made by 1jadedhart's daughter.
The prelude to the feast involved a guitar lesson, and that went well - much practicing involved on the part of the student since her last lesson - and towards the end of the evening settled into a jam session of sorts. Justin and I played The Kraken a couple of times, Jack Sparrow/A Jug o' This once, and then did some improv as well. Later on, we worked on a few of my tunes. It was some consolation for me, as the lungs didn't want to go along with the planned events involving outdoors and winter air - the bronchial tubes kept complaining about the cold stabbity-stab of the air or something - and by that time, I had pretty much exhausted energy reserves. Hopefully, I was still able to be moderately entertaining, even if planted upon the couch.
And yes, the recipe for Deeper n' Ever will be posted posty hasty, for those inquiring minds.

The first one - which I've done a number of extremely delicious recipes from - is Horn of the Moon Cookbook. That *would* have been the one I handed around, but it's still in a box with the rest of the library...
They're both out of print, I think, but Amazon.com had some used or third party copies up for grabs at one time.
