The power shot that gave me chills? Three giraffes advancing on an acacia tree.
I started singing "It's Good to be a Gangsta" during this shot.
Robert's in charge of all the USG assistance for the crash investigation, which is considerable. Because it was a Boeing plane, there's the potential that Boeing could be blamed - which may be the case, but if it's something that Cypriot Air is doing maintenance-wise or something else, we need to know so we can prevent future accidents. And today is a huge holiday here, second only to Easter. It's like if the worst aviaton disaster in US history happened on Christmas Eve. No one is in Athens or in work mode. Including the phone company.
I'm selfishly glad I'm not working at the embassy for this crash. I had enough of crash sites when we were in Romania.
Huh...it occurs to me that whenever we're in the Balkans for about a year, a horrible plane crash happens. Maybe God's trying to kill us by dropping a plane on our heads. If so, his aim's getting better - last one was off by about 25 miles; this one was only 15 miles away.

Not, err, that we took advantage of that on Thursday night or anything...
I'm making them again Wednesday, for consumption on this Thursday (Paul's grandmother's 80th Bday party). I'm torn what buttercream to make. I grow weary of orange.
I am taking buttercream suggestions.
Almond. Or amaretto, something like that. Or! Mr. H makes this thing at the bar called a nuts 'n' berries. It's Frangelica, chambourd and cream. So amaretto and raspberry. It that possible for buttercream?
So amaretto and raspberry. It that possible for buttercream?
Probably difficult. I was thinking raspberry, but realized the berry part would add unwanted texture.
How do you make the Orange?
Can you use the alcoholic versions of the flavorings or would that make it far too sweet?
Boy, am I now regretting my decision to have soup for both meals today. Particularly dinner, which was an unfilling not very good bouillabase that cost way too much. Alas, my former go-to late Sunday night restaurant has switched to Irish food, and so suffering gnawing hunger pangs is the better choice.
How do you make the Orange?
Organic orange extract and an orangeful of zest.
Can you use the alcoholic versions of the flavorings or would that make it far too sweet?
Probably too sweet, and the texture change would be bad. Plus, there will be a 9 year old there, and I'm iffy about anything his parents could get revenge for a few years down the line...
Oh dear, Mr. H left the Pam Anderson Roast on when he left. It's actually been playing for several hours, but I just now heard some of it.
Bea Arthur should never, ever read porn, particularly badly written porn.
