sarcasm always wins out in the end

My friends, I have a cold. My lungs are full of snot and I keep coughing in a disgustingly wet manner, and although I don't feel dizzy and my nose isn't running, I do feel a bit sick.

However, there is a party tonight. A friend's birthday party, for whom i have promised to make An Introduction To The Emo Cult cd (which at the moment consists of four cds, um, I got a little carried away). I kind of want to go to the party.

What should I do?

P.S. Dear Yuletide writer, there will be a letter soon for you. I'm sorry for the delay, it's been a hectic week!
P.P.S Is there a baby yet? Come on Pete, where's your twitter? This is the time for ugly photos and badly punctuated exhilaration!

I made a frittata and it is so good. *makes slurping noises* Note that is not something that happens very often in my cooking. I might put up the recipe, even, since it involved a creative addition to the recipe-book and is all the more delicious for it. Seriously, this never happens when I cook. I continue to be amazed.

Also, the government is making unhappy noises about alcohol consumption in the UK. Excessive drinking is, of course, a very bad thing, and I've had many thoughts on how this cultural trend might be changed (Stop serving "big" glasses of wine in restaurants! Stop selling wine under five pounds, or beer for 3 for 2 in shops! Ban Lambrini!), but mostly the sight of endless bottles of red wine on my telly has made me, um, have some wine. Am having Mediterranean food, tis clearly a Special Occasion. Well, tasty food that I actually cooked is a very special occasion.

So, how was your day? Tell me of tasty food- or drummer-related thoughts that you've had!
