I climbed a mountain yesterday and saw the 7th highest lake in the US. Fortunately, we got a ride back down the mountain. Unfortunately, it came with a nice dose of Family Awkwardness Because Grandpa's A Creationist.

Now I want cheese, despite getting excellent doughnuts this morning. Like, really amazing, especially the Creme Brule one that was legit crunchy on top.

Wait, there's a "trade it in for a jetpack" option? Dude. Want! Particularly given the cramps I was having yesterday.

Mmm, cheese sounds nice too.

Just met one of the mayoral candidates! One that I might actually vote for, we'll see. But honest to god, door to door, introducing himself.

Timelies all!

Health~ma, Sox.

Sarameg, was it Mike? Thanks, Sheryl

Good luck, Sox. On Wednesday I go in for a biopsy, which is by itself unpleasant enough, but will also tell me whether I have to have all my bits removed. JOY. And this at a time when I'm actually in negative numbers on my sick leave, because of all the time I had to take off to deal with Dad. God help me if I have to spend my vacation on recovering from surgery.

In other news, I walked the dog, started some bread, and visited Dad. Now I need to do laundry, pay bills, shape the bread, and start on a tarte tatin, which I decided I had to make after seeing it on GBBO. What's not to love about apples, caramel, and pastry? Of course, I don't have any puff pastry and don't have the time to make it, so I'm going to use a regular pie crust I had in the freezer. Hopefully that will work.

I could really use some "nothing too scary or terrible, but just enough so I can trade this thing in for a jetpack" ~ma.

I totally hope you get a jetpack!

TJs had a new gluten-free cookie: the same base dough as chocolate chip cookies, but instead of chocolate chips, the cookies have caramelized ginger pieces. I have already tried them, and they are good. I also got these chocolate Easter egg dealies, but have not tried them yet: [link]

No dog pictures yet, unless they're up on Facebook. Will check there next.

Good Luck Consuela.

Bodies, man.

No dog pictures yet. I can report that Kato is still cute, however.

Sending lots of medical~ma to both Sox and Consuela, with bonus no surgery~ma!

I have not seen those TJs Easter eggs before, but I'll be on the lookout for them. They must be mine! Well, more realistically they'll be my kids' but you know what I mean.

Two neighbors brought us lemons last week, so I've made a lemon cake for later. But I wants it now
