A tornado dropped more than a house on the poor Wicked Witch of the West

It also dropped twenty 6-year old girls!!!  In our most recent adventures in ShortStackFoodie-Land, we were asked to help plan and execute the birthday-party to end all birthday parties ... or at least tide the little ones over 'til next year.  We were responsible for everything from theme development, 'branding', invitation design and production, timelines, budgets, photography, catering, supplier sourcing, and making sure that at the end of the day the Tinman got his heart. 

And while it looked as though a tornado had RIPPED thru the backyard at the end of the party - strewing crayons, cupcake wrappers, glitter and juice cups - we held our heads high, secure in the knowledge that the birthday girl (in her Dorothy inspired braids) would later that evening be curled up in bed, with her "Toto" ... dreaming "of a land she'd heard of ... once in a lullaby". Do get in touch if you would like the ShortStackFoodie to help with your next munchkin-related event ... we'll be waiting ... somewhere over the rainbow.

Super moon and the night sky ...

Last night we witnessed the largest moon that will appear this year - a SUPER MOON the media called it.  And with it being only 221,802 miles away from Earth, it begged the question ... are we really alone in the universe? 

  

In what we thought was a seemingly unrelated event, The Short Stack Foodies (yup, plural!) came across a disturbing video buried deep in the darkest recesses my partner-in-crimes basement yesterday afternoon.  How long the video has been hiding there, we may never know.  We may also never know who brought this video to earth.  What we do know is that we will never look at the night sky in quite the same way again.  Will you? 

Happy star-gazing.
