Prepared now.

Went and got stuff so that I can make the offerings I've been planning on doing. Including actually remembering to get a bottle of spiced rum, which I've been trying to remember to do for somewhere upwards of a month. So tentative plan on that for tomorrow. Too tired-hungry now to do it properly.

I would like to gripe about the mushrooms that were in the grocery store. I wanted to do this with some nice shiitakes, because I like them. There weren't fresh shiitakes last time I checked, so I was happy to see that they had some, even if they were small ones. So I went to pick some out.

I have never before encountered stale mushrooms. Or whatever was wrong with them. [livejournal.com profile] teinedreugan said they were dry from my complaints about their crustiness and unpleasant texture; it's as good an explanation as any.

I got white ones. Not going to use defective mushrooms. Especially not in an offering.

Mutter.

Grump.

Random question.

Would you be willing to visit sometime and help walk me through my first batch of wine (stupid kit involves occasionally less than stellar instructions).
