Was the flat tire right after "lunch" or did you manage to get nearer home?

I managed to find my registration sticker. I had stored it in my glove compartment. In December. Flake.

Clafouti verdict: Jesse's recipe is just on the edge of how much egg flavour I can take. So I dressed it with rum cream. But damn, those hot cherries are tasty! I wish I were still hungry. Any other good hot cherry desserts?

I wish I had more cherries. I made two pies with the ones off my sister's tree. I'll have to plan ahead for next year's harvest.

Stephanie, Frisco is such a pretty little boy! mmm, he's delicious. And Barb, your daughter is lovely.

WRT kids' clothes: I have a bag of stuff for you, Kat, for both Noah and Grace (but the Grace stuff won't fit for a while). And I have a bag of other assorted dresses and outfits that Frances has outgrown. I donated a few big bags to JWC, but saved the nicest stuff since I knew I'd find takers here. Feel free to contact me if you're interested.

That pig kinda freaks me out. He doesn't look like a monkey, he looks like an ogre.

I am so tired, a combo of not much sleep and having to fast until about noon. Ooof.

Fugitive spammer dies in murder-suicide

Man, I want to send this article to about fiddy million middle-aged relatives as a cautionary tale that they should forward to EVERYBODY THEY LOVE and put sparkley angels at the end.

I have a pint of fresh raspberries that I need to do something with. Would they work in a clafoutis?

Scratch Clafoutis, I have no rum.

Why is the rum gone?

ION, Priscilla is on Logo right now!

I don't think raspberries hold up as well with that kind of cooking (hence no raspberry pie).

However, you could mash them up with a little sugar, heat them and pour them over vanilla ice cream and that would be ridiculously delicious.

Thanks, Hec. The kids have been eating a few of them, but they're not quite sweet enough for me (they must be early up here).

I do have some blueberries, though, which are perfection.

I'm in fruit heaven at the moment with peaches, blueberries and raspberries. It's small consolation for the end of the strawberry peak.

Btw, hugs to javachik for her comment earlier. I feel that way sometimes, too.

Thanks, Pix.

I core apples, fill with a pat of butter, a teaspoon of sugar, and raspberries, and bake in the oven (or sometimes wrap in foil and set on the grill), and then slice down the middle for a yummy delicious dessert.

ION, my job is so on the brink I can't even tell you. I worked ten, eleven hour days all week, have to come in on Sunday, and my boss still says I'm a disorganized mess. Today he said he shouldn't have to give me direction on planning his academic symposium, that it would be below my pay grade. Even though I've never even been to an academic symposium, let alone planned one.
