Happy birthday, Steph!
How can anyone not be fond of tater tots? They are the best.
Mmmmm. Deep fried in duck fat!
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Burrell, the nectarine cake was me. You must make it! It is so wonderful, all almondy and sugary and nectarines. Nom. It has a really dense moist crumb and the nectarines (which don't always sink down into the batter the way the recipe says) get slightly caramelized on the top from the dusting of sugar over the top. I also added just a touch of cardamom to the batter, for reasons. Mainly, I love cardamom.

Well fuck, my crown just broke. It is on a canine tooth, so very visible. I'm due on a plane at 6:15am, so no chance to get to a dentist before I go. Blast. Gonna pick up some crown adhesive to try to get through the next 2 days.

Bad timing! That sucks, Suzi!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Happy birthday, Tep!
I also made the nectarine cake, but subbed blueberries because M hates nectarines. It is delicious.
I'm sorry, Suzi!

So I'm watching last week's Hannibal online on NBC and one of the ads is for twizzler pull'n'peel candy and OMG SO WRONG AND HILARIOUS!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thanks Sail, I am definitely going to make that cake. Maybe tomorrow since I'm not going to campus.
Ugh Suzi, rotten timing. Sending lots of tooth~ma your way!
Oh, which reminds me, my kids both need orthodontic work this summer: partial braces for Isaac, head gear and then braces for Franny. In about a week, Isaac's Gollum tooth comes out. I am surprisingly sad about this. I will miss his snaggle tooth smile.

So the tooth putty doesn't work worth a damn. I have cancelled the trip and converted my one on one meetings into conference calls. I also have a dentist appt for 9am tomorrow.
I've been wanting to find a new more local dentist, but I'm going back to the one who knows me to get this fixed. I don't dislike them, just didn't want to travel that far for appointments.
