Has it really been five days since I last popped in here? What a blog slacker. I don’t have any excuses, either. My brain seems to have been on hold this week. Let’s see if some listy-listing can get me back on track.

  • We saw “Star Trek” yesterday. Rockford wanted to stick around for the next showing. I didn’t love it quite that much, but I think I’m going to take my mom to see it in a few weeks.
  • Last night I tried to make a cake for cake decorating class. I was using silicone cake pans, so I didn’t grease them or put down parchment paper. That was not smart. Now I have a big bag of cake crumbs in the refrigerator and another cake in the oven.
  • I’ve had trouble this week with the South Beach experiment. See: Bag of cake crumbs in the refrigerator. But I’m still trying.
  • We got our first CSA box yesterday, and this morning I made an omelet with bok choy (they called it “joi choi.” I’m not sure if they were just being cute or if that’s a real thing) and Laughing Cow cheese. It was delightful.
  • I have a rather fantastic giveaway starting tomorrow afternoon.

    • The timer just went off. Cross your fingers for me. If this cake falls apart, too, I’m buying a blank slate from the grocery store’s bakery.
