This cake, while complicated to construct, is delicious.
Isn't Alicia's home beautiful? Isn't she talented? It's a lovely blog to visit.

I am a little obsessed with this, after being smitten by this, which I did see at the gift show. I've seen that charcoal for years at the Japanese grocer and wondered what it is for. I am very tempted to buy some and put it in our water pitcher as I tire of Brita filters and our water does not taste particularly good unfiltered.

Middle is honing his bartending skills. I like his whiskey sour at half-strength.

 

I'm blogging with both a new blogger interface and a new flickr uploader (for a while now) and they each have bugs to work though. Someone in tech support should contact me. Just sayin.

I'm enjoying Door 16 at the moment.

I'd like to eat the way Sandra does each day. I'd welcome her "way of cooking."

I've ordered frames. I tried them on at the gift show and would have bought them but for the sales lady who noticed I was not a retailer and snubbed me. I don't THINK they make me look like Harry Potter, though they are round. Let's put it this way: they do not make me look like Richard Avedon OR Elliot Gould.

I'm hoping JCrew doesn't piss me off more than Anthropologie, but it's not looking good.




Thank you for all the kind anniversary wishes yesterday!
