If you are in any way at all a regular reader of this blog, I congratulate you. I am not a regular writer, and blogs that are devoid of content for months on end tend to be ones that are read only by spouses, close friends and people who hit the "next blog" button on blogger. Still, if you are in fact a regular reader, you've probably freed yourself of certain expectations, like regularly produced, thoughtful content, and also any sense of chronology. For example, the wedding cake below was crafted well after the birthday cake shown in this photo - not that I needed to tell you, as if you are reading this blog, you probably tried at least one of them. So the birthday cake was pretty tasty, despite being made largely by the blog author, with the assistance of Finn and Conor for Conor's ninth birthday. It was very heavy on the raspberries - a raspberry sponge cake, with raspberry buttercream filling and raspberry icing (and a white chocolate buttons on top). The cake was well earned, as earlier in the day the birthday boy and five of his friends embarked on a five mile treasure hunt around the neighborhood and culminating at Pendragon books. Many thanks to our friends in the mysterious Thomas Avenue Treasure Hunt Society for their ingenious course plotting.
And not to get all Tevye here, but the years do fly by remarkably quickly. Happy incredibly belated birthday, my beautiful boy.
