Harry Potter and the Testing of Patience

Harry Potter is so on the brain. It's all we've been thinking about at work, home, over IM and in our sleep - for the past week! We're definitely taking part in the events tonight in Philadelphia, and certainly staying up all night to get a head start on finishing the book. As decided, we're turning off all phones, TVs, radios and computers, as well as not venturing out of the house until we're done, in case someone ruins the end of the book by blabbing "X died!" or "X lives!"

In preparation for this weekend, i'm going to run the oven to make vegetarian Shepherds Pie. (It's a large dish that equates to many servings since we won't have the desire to cook while in the middle of reading!)

I assume by Sunday morning we all should be done with the book, so i plan to make Egg in the Basket, which i thought was called "Toad in the Hole," along with fake sausage for breakfast.

Throughout Sunday afternoon over our HP7 discussion, i'll make some nice little sandwiches to eat with scones, little cakes and tea. I'm intrigued by lemon curd so perhaps i'll make a batch of that for the first time.

Sadly for be, i'm not into pumpkin juice and pretzel "wands" dipped in frosting, nor those horrific Bertie Bott's beans (of which apparently rotten egg is worse than vomit... ugh!)

I CAN'T WAIT!
