Wash ,'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Any thoughts or info on Obama's latest Supreme Court nominee?
Lisah, the helmets are a heavier than a lightweight street bike helmet, but I love mine so much. Noah has one similar in style but smaller. I want to get Grace one of the little nutty helmets. They make me happy (on the back it says, "I love my brain!")
I have decided I want this cake for my birthday: Heaven and Hell Cake. Sadly, I'll end up having to make it for myself.
Someone asked about cookbooks back a ways - this one has the Hummingbird cake and also about 5 of my go-to recipes. I was given it as a gift and it has just been a really good one: [link]
Also wanted to give this one a plug for anyone trying to do more cooking with beans and grains: [link]
It's got bananas and pineapple in it, usually with a cream cheese frosting, but we won't frost this one.
I saw a hummingbird cake mix at the supermarket the other day. (We were stocking up on cake mixes, baking cakes has become somthing of a tasty hobby for Wallybee.) So their fame has reached Australia, it seems. I didn't get one, settled for a chocolate, a lemon and an English tea instead.
I need to start poking around for a good lemon cake recipe. I'm trying to decide if I want dense or light.
I'm glad hummingbird cake is not a poultry dish.
My mom loved her gnome slippers. She's so easy to please.
No actual hummingbirds were harmed in the production of this cake.
The gnome slippers are awesome, though! Who WOULDN'T love them.

OH! and can I brag? Pose I was almost successful in at yoga today: [link] This is one I didn't do prepregnancy. Now if only I could recover the missing other poses, all would be rocking. But this one was fun.
I'm envious, Kat. Even at my most fit in yoga, my arm strength was terrible and I didn't have enough core strength for even a decent crow.
You've totally shamed me into checking the schedule for classes this week.
Kat, that's so cool! I can't imagine getting my limbs to all those positions simultaneously -- and then keeping them there!
Hmm. Perhaps I need to work on my flexibility.
