Backstory: his friend Sophie at day care turned 2 last week. He's been singing on and off for days. After I stopped videoing, I said, "Do you love Sophie?" He replied, "Yes. Big hug."
Aw! That is nice!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh! Brie en croute! Maybe not for summer, but a parents' party classic. Another thing way easier than it looks, if you buy the frozen puff pastry. Throw some apricot jam on top, and bake. YUM.
My mom used to do a brie wheel (unbaked) with shredded carrots and ginger mixed into the apricot jam and spread on top. Nom.
Also gazpacho in little plastic glasses.

Grilled quesadillas cut into slivers! (the grilling makes them crisp, not floppy.)
Actually, most of the tapas I had Saturday would work, though some take more effort than others: pita and tzatziki, zucchini/onion fritters, cheese pie and spinach and feta pie (small, in a pastry wrap, sorta like spanikopita but not. The cheese one was incredible. Ricotta texture, but tangy and rich at the same time ) and another pastry wrapped thing of some sort of cured meat, cheese and basil. Num.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just gathered up all the spare change laying about in my apartment. Oh, and in a small box and a cereal bowl (where I was storing the change that wasn't laying about) It came to $64.00.
I love the change-counting machines....

I do a skewer of grilled chicken sausage, a cherry tomato, and a basil leaf. The sweetness of the tomato and basil contrast nicely with the spiciness of the sausage. sometimes I might add a kalamata olive.

Video of the most powerful nuclear explosion in history: [link]
You can tell the camera was miles away by how long it takes sound to reach the camera (18 seconds). What is it - one mile for each five seconds? So the camera was almost four miles away.
eta: Although now that I think of it - at four miles the camera would have been destroyed, huh? So maybe not the largest (the link doesn't say it is, but a link to it did).

So. This is my life, the universe and everything birthday. I made it this far, at least, so there's that.
Happy holidays, those who have them. I'm spending the next several days on an island off the coast of Maine (and I have my annual family shindig on same island), so I'll catch you all on the flip-side.
