Either two babies are having a yodeling match or there’s a major feline fight going down in the alley.
Tomorrow my fella and I are headed to the east coast to celebrate with old friends and fatten the economy with our hard-earned cash. First New York and then to Salem, MA to watch two of the finest people I know get hitched.
It’s been two years and I’m finally on vacation. Thank goodness.
It seems like all of my parents’ friends are turning 60. Last weekend one of my favorite people, Carol, greeted her sixtieth year with a small afternoon celebration.
Her only request of me was that I bake a horseshoe cake. After purchasing the pan, I decided to whip up a wreath ala a winning racing star. I used my aunt Jessie’s recipe for ganache and my favorite Portsmouth frosting from the Fannie Farmer Cookbook.
Delicious.

Kvas Monastyrskiy, aka a Ukrainian root soda that smells (and tastes) like last night’s PBR with cigarette butts floating in it.
We sampled it at the office this afternoon.
The taste still lingers in my mouth.
