Pardon the Mess
As you’ve probably noticed, things are a bit of a mess right now here at The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century. I’ll be re-jigging the blog over the next couple of days, and I’ll do what I can to keep things readable.

The "Bye Bye Boobies" Party
On Saturday, Wendy and I attended our friend C.’s “Bye Bye Boobies” party, an event to celebrate her upcoming breast reduction surgery (which takes place today).
The party featured a lot of breast-themed food presented in a lovely spread, pictured below:
Among the items were this lovely chocolate boob cake:
…and this bodacious lemon boob cake:
…and, of course, melon bowls:
Wendy and I wanted to contribute, so we used our ice cream maker to prepare some appropriately saucy flavours. Before heading to the party, I took out a Sharpie marker and whipped out some signs for the ice cream. When this computer fad blows over, I could go into the sign making business for ice cream shops and coffeehouses.
Here’s the sign for the first flavour: “Plain” Jayne Mansfield, better known as vanilla:
The next flavour was made with one very ripe canteloupe: Melons sorbet:
Here’s the one for the ice cream with a banana base (Wendy pureed two very ripe bananas into the standard ice cream mix) and chocolate chips made from a chopped up fancy-pant high cocoa content bar — Touch My Monkey:
And finally, here’s the sign for the Oreo Cheesecake ice cream. It had 10 smashed-up Oreo cookies in it, and the base contained cream cheese, sour cream and the juice of a lemon, which gave it a distinct cheesecake flavour. You probably shouldn’t have this fat-licious flavour too often.
Our thanks to C. for throwing a great party, and best of luck with the surgery!
“I fuckin’ love Duran Duran!” he says, but in the video below (shot last night in Accordion City’s Koreatown neighbourhood), I’m actually playing Nine Inch Nails’ Head Like a Hole. Still, a compliment is a compliment…
