magidi got home to find a package waiting for me, a box sent by grand rabbits toy shoppe in boulder, colorado. hm. i had a flicker of a thought about unexpected packages, wondering if i should be suspicious, but then just opened it. there was lots of brown paper, then something wrapped in funny blue hippopotamus wrapping paper, a thank you gift for hosting friends. i opened it to find..."gearation" refrigerator magnets, 6 battery powered moving magnets :-). now i have to find a double A battery.... more toys for the fridge!
i made the chocolate ginger bread i'd planned for potluck tonight, one big (over 2 lb) loaf. it was still warm when i brought it over, and smelled great, with the chocolate & cinnamon & ginger. i waited until the main meal was over, then brought it out, and it was a hit: molten chocolate and small chunks of ginger in a really nice bread. definitely repeatable- it was almost gone very quickly! (and i'd worried it would be underdone. it's hard to do that large a loaf, getting the insides done without the outsides getting too dark.)
