Birthday prep (November 4, 2007)

After visiting the House of Terror Museum on Andrassy Avenue, Ali and I decided it would be nice to make Rebecca cupcakes for her birthday, figure she’d flip over something like that.
Since it was Sunday we had to go to the 24 hour super market a few stops away from our apartment, but conveniently right on the way home. We stood outside for about five minutes finishing our Burger Kind version of a McFlurry, which was excellent, all the while waving, yelling, and making faces at Chris and Vin who went with us to the museum but decided to take the 4-6 home without us.
Finally we went in and began searching for our necessary cooking supplies, basically, something that comes in a box and you add a few simple ingredients. We had no luck finding cake mix, or cupcake mix either actually, but we did find icing (or so we though) and chocolate and vanilla muffin mix. We figured that would do and I went to the check out line while she searched for oil.
The guy in front of me in the line must have overheard us talking and asked if I was from the states, I answered that I was and then we have a nice little convo. I told him I was studying abroad, and he said he was working at the embassy—which I figure it’s always nice to know someone at the embassy. We continued to talk about how confusing grocery stores here can be and finally moved on to where we were from. Ends up he went to Clemson, so that was an exciting moment for me, even though I’m a Gamecocks fan.
