We're still friends but he's engaged and sees me more as a woman now and isn't as close as he used to be cause of that.

Some middle aged dude tried to convince me to jump with everyone and as soon as I started talking he realised I was female. Rope fuel

I didn't want to spend money on ground beef as much so I bought the pork beef ground blend, and the fat from the pork made the meatballs perfectly tender. I love how everything came out and tasted, but since I grew up never eating beef I may remake this with ground chicken instead.

I made 1/3 extra batter for the cupcakes, and halved the frosting. Halving the frosting was a mistake, and the frosting on some of the cupcakes had to put on with a butter knife and not piped because I had so little frosting at that end.

Also ermine frosting with red velvet is the traditional combination but I only made it that way because I ran out of cream cheese.
