Here is a cake I made.  It is orange-lemon-walnut-cardamom cake with apricot filling and powdered sugar on top.  Here are Skully and mini-Skully to wish you a happy erev.

Also for dinner:  Asian white sweet potatoes with middle eastern spices, whole wheat/cornmeal matzoh kugel, cajun BBQ chicken, steamed Italian-herbed broccoli, and of course E’s very excellent homemade challah—an international hodgepodge.

Who says midwestern food has to be bland and boring?

I’m still fiddling around with my new OS X Photos app, so bear with me.  The edit tools are cooler, but finding the most efficient way to get the edits to WP is still a work in progress.  So I apologize for the poor quality of these scenes from the home front.

Speaking of which, what am I doing online?  Back to the kitchen with me!  Knowing me, I’ll be back here soon, playing with my new OS.  I’m thinking of giving her a name.  How does Elektra sound?  Too dorky?  I’m taking submissions, as long as they’re appropriate, i.e., female and cool like me.  😉

We wish y’all a peaceful day and evening.  TTYS.
