I got all wedding-buggy again walking through Michael's today. Currently trying to scare up ideas for neat, fun favors that people will keep/enjoy. They must be appropriately geeky. Suggestions?

Also, thank heaven, Mom agrees that we must have real flowers at the wedding. I'm well aware of how practical, cost-saving, time-saving, stress-saving, etc, fake flowers are, but dammit, I want real flowers.

Oooog. Am on the mend and able to eat semisolid food now, with the consequence that I ate way too much for dinner. Oooooog. Very full, tummy hurty. But mac 'n cheese was sooo good. Oooooog.

Favors? Candy is always good. When we do rituals we make a TON of chocolate suckers for centerpieces - pretty cheap, you can do 'em yourself with those cheap baking tins, a couple plate warmers, and molds, very easy... And white chocolate comes in every color under the sun, and there are molds for anything you can imagine. And candles: For Imbolc we had red rose floating candles in those small round glass bowls... And rose buds made with Hershy kisses and tissue paper. Of course, these are all perishable.

Big fat word on the real flowers. And you can do a lot of nice, minimalist things with just a few of the less expensive varities... Martha is a good source for that kind of thing.

Mac & cheese is always good, though. Comfort food! Of course (YMMV) it's better saved and microwaved on the next day... The traditional Kraft kind, anyway.

Damn. Now I'm hungry.

I've been pondering candy...Mom and I used to make molded chocolates all the time, so we have molds and I know all about making them...hmmmm.

I may have to ask for your help on using Martha as a source for ideas. I've kind of avoided her my whole life.

Mmmmm, mac n cheese. I think I'll go downstairs and reheat some right now...
