Macaroons anyone?

About 3/4 way finished decorating the venue for tomorrow night's party, but I forgot to take any photos. Snapped these at the last second. 

Lame...

But DJ Mokgohan has his decks all set up and raring to go. Sounds good 'n spooky!

 

Anyway, tomorrow should be a blast, whether we get a dozen or a hundred, it should be a howling good time. (And as we were leaving, two young girls called out my name. They were students of mine in Elementary School in Watari. Surely they can't be of drinking age now, can they? If I taught them in Grade 6, they'd be age 11-12 then. I left the school 3 years ago. I was at the school for 7 years. Depending on when they graduated, the math adds up. I hope!)  

Really impressed by these 4/6 ViruSweets that I scored at Gatcha. I really want the blue one though! This set all seems to be flavours of InfecTea. Click around on this link to their website. There's a Comic Strip, a list of characters, and more.

 

There's even a YouTube about an earlier set of different varieties of pudding. 

Oh, found another video!

 

These are the ones I got.


 Scone & Lemon Tea

 Macaron Framboise (Strawberry Macaroon?) & Macaron Pisutachio (Pistachio Macaroon?)

 

Delicious!

I saw a movie today in which the lead may have consumed some of the above. But he's invulnerable, so that's okay.

 

Warning to those who go see the movie in Japan, there is some foreign dialects that are only subtitled in Japanese, not English. I had no problem with the French, but had great difficulty with the Danish. (Hey! Danish! That goes along with the Tea and Macaroons.) 

All the leads were delightful, I can't choose a favourite. A tad slow at times, but well worth the 2 1/2 hour sit. NO spoilers, but if you've read the book, then you've seen the movie. It is only under a limited release but will be released on Netflix next week. I urge you to see it in the Theatre. It'll be worth it. Shout out to Bernie in the end credits and a Thanks to Michele Wrightson. Other thank yous as well, but they went by very quickly and he used first names only.  

 

I also noticed that Guy Davis was used as a Conceptual Artist. Check out his portfolio.

I need a big hulking Oni today. I guess this will do. Get your daily exorcise!

 

I grabbed a quick pumpkin flavoured pudding cake tonight. Hopefully it's not laden with a virus.

There's no candy to be found at Chocolate Halloween Candy but there are other tasty Tumblr tidbits there.

I have TWO parties tomorrow night, so hopefully I can wish everyone a Happy Halloween before I leave for them. I doubt whether I'll be in any condition to write about them immediately afterwards.

Very interesting to see a Japanese perspective on Halloween. I love macaroons.

I'm definitely up for some Macaroons! Have fun at your parties tomorrow, in case I don't make it here until after you've been!

Thanks for visiting our country, Richard, if only via this blog.
Guillaume, very little Trick or Treating, pumpkin carving or dressing up (unless it's Cosplay). I'm trying to spread the news.
Mr Flook, I plan to enjoy myself, have a good time doing whatever you do too!
