Mini pie excursion

Today Constantine goes into the shop to get serviced. It's just a routine thing, so he's okay, but he needs his tires rotated, I think. It occurs to me that I actually don't know how long he'll have to stay there, but I hope it's just for a couple of hours and then I can take him home again.  

While my car is being worked on, I will be making my monthly Target run. I'm thinking of taking a look around there for any possible vessel options for making my mini-pies. Target has lots of interesting crockery pieces for relatively cheap, but I'm concerned that to get as many as I'd like will come to a little more than I'm interested in paying. So I will probably prefer to go with the disposable aluminum stuff. Still, it will be fun to look. I do love crockery so, even the junky stuff. :-) I looked up a couple of recipes for mini pies, just for the baking time; I plan on using my own recipe for the actual pie, but I didn't know how the size would affect the temperature and time in the oven. It looks like for four-inch tins, bake for twenty minutes at 375 degrees. That is a lot quicker than a full-sized pie. It also suggested serving with a melon baller scoop's worth of ice cream on top; I like the idea of using a melon baller to make tiny garnish for a tiny pie.

I also want to get my suede jacket dry cleaned. It's a really nice jacket, but it's looking pretty grungy right now. Maybe I can get that done as well. I should make a to do list, to keep all my chores and assignments in order.

Hamlet DVD!

Thanks to the lovely Marissa, I now at long last have a DVD of Hamlet in my possession. I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know how well it came out or how much editing it may require, but I do in fact have it. I'd like to be able to have it to show at the Hold Thy Peace party that is happening this Saturday at Elsinore, so hopefully today and tomorrow I'll have a chance to go over it, maybe fix it up if it needs it. I'm so excited; I was so incredibly proud of this play, and it meant a lot to me to have a copy of the performance. Here's hoping it comes out well. I owe lots of people copies, so I'd better get on that as well.

In addition to preparing the disk, I have to get things ready for the party itself. Jared and I will be shopping for snackies (if anyone has points they want to get rid of before they lose them at the end of the year, you're more than welcome to contribute) and I should probably clean. I'm not certain how many people will be coming, but I hope we get a good turnout. If only to have a larger audience for the showing of the DVD. ;-)
