Uh, 3 out of 5 ain't bad? It's been a rough week.
Dining Room
The room was warm from the heat of the oven that had been cranking all day, and added to that was the body heat of so many extra people packing in. Crammed across the built in buffet were dishes of every shape and size and depth. A tall ceramic salad bowl with serving spoons poking out like rabbit ears was spilling over with piles of lettuce and jewels of red pepper and carrot coins. Steam was quietly leaking up from the long glass rectangular pan of lasagna, hints of deep green spinach peeking through the layers of red and cream. Lifting the green plaid napkin on the wicker basket revealed a bigger cloud of steam of the pillowy hot dinner rolls nestled close to each other. The crockpot full of lentil stew sputtered quietly, the earthy scent of the lentils mingling with sweet onion when the lid was lifted. Tiny silver finger dishes filled with almonds, sunflower seeds and peanuts were scattered between the bigger dishes. On the far left a stack of napkins and silverware sat in anticipation, on the far right a pitcher of hibiscus red tea was surrounded with bottles of sparkling cider in a variety of flavors, apple, pear, cranberry, grape

Awesome! I was thinking on the way home on the metro, and remembered one blog post you did and asked people to submit answers to a few questions (I think the first question was like "Who were you in my dream?"). And you blogged a story about it.
Oh yeah, that was on my MySpace Music blog I believe. For a poetry class. There were a bunch on there that I didn't do yet. Sigh. So many great ideas, so little time...
