Yay for Restaurant Week! We have reservations for a restaurant in Jack London Square tonight: 3 courses and a glass of wine for $30. And it's one of the few participating restaurants that gives you a choice of courses--a lot of the restaurants have a menu with no options. Easier for them, but it makes it less fun if one of the courses is something I don't eat (like olives).
I might have to go out for lunch this week as well, since I have the time (if not really the cash)...
Okay, I seem to have missed the link to the apple pie cake. Can someone fix me up?
In looking at the stuff for sale at this vintage market, I was thinking it would be perfect for getting rid of some of the rest of my grandmother's stuff, but come to find out, you have to sign up for four weeks to be a vendor (they are every week in the summer), and we don't have that much stuff (or interest in doing it!). Ah well. It's a pain in the ass, because so much of the stuff that is left is mid-level vintage-y. Like multiple pairs of gloves that I saw someone selling for $8-$10 today. Or random china, not a set. Cute wood kitchen canisters that I bet I could get $25 for. A hassle to eBay, but not good for a yard sale.
Jesse, maybe one of the other vendors who is signed up for the vintage market would be interested in purchasing some of your grandmother's things to re-sell there.
Oh, that's a good idea, sj!

Jesse-- thanks so much! And that looks awesome, and hecka easy.
Someone needs to hire me, so I can justify making this cake, and bring it into the office...
EAT IT ALL YOURSELF. That's what I'm doing! Not that that's the healthiest option ...
I've been craving ice cream for over 24 hours. That means my body is indicating a nutritional deficiency, right?

Don't become one of those sad poster people for Ice Cream Deficiency. You can overcome it!
(Relatedly, is it just me, or have there been WAY fewer weight loss commercials on TV compared to a typical January [otherwise known as The Month Of The New Year's Resolutions]? I'm hypersensitive to those stupid commercials, and while I have seen some Weight Watchers commercials, it hasn't been very many. It just seems odd, for January.)
