Actually, not a break, but a sprain (which, the doctors say – and I agree – can be as uncomfortable as a break). Today’s blog post is this colorful picture and a “oh, poor me” explanation of why the blog may be dark for a week or so. Typing one-handed is such a drag, and I [...] I did not make this cake! My neighbor Sue baked it. You remember Sue, the ultimate hostess, like Martha Stewart (but much nicer! and she’s never done jail time!). Those genes have passed through her family - her niece Monica decorated the bunny. Isn’t it wonderful!?

The idea is to make consumable book-themed food.

My six-month-old niece is “reading!” (OK, technically she’s my great-niece, but that puts me on a grandmother level generationally, and I don’t want to consider that!).
