Trail and ERROR

So tomorrow night is the SNL party.  I am getting very excited.  Here is the table so far:


As the title suggests today was a day of trial and error.  The first project, which may have been more trouble than it was worth, was constructing an ice try to hold the mango ice cream tomorrow.  I ended up filling an aluminum tray with water and thought I would put the small cups I am using tomorrow to make convenient holes in the ice.  Error number one.  Of course the light plastic cups floated.  So I filled them with black eyed peas and ran a strip of tape across the top to stabilize them.  My second error was trying to balance the tray in one hand while opening the freezer door.  I spilled five of the twelve cups of beans.  I made a back up ice bowl a la The Martha if the ice contraption is a miserable failure. 


The second big failure of the night was the drink, Bass-o-matic.  Version number one:  two shots of cherry pomegranate juice, a shot of vanilla vodka, over three muddled maricino cherries, with a Swedish fish, and a dash of half and half.  Version number one curdled.  A lot.  Version number two (minus the half and half) was a success.
