Food = love?

In the course of the weekend, I had pieces of four different birthday cakes. (The ratio of cakes to celebrants was somewhat greater than 1:1.) The stops were unquestionably pulled out.

  • Grocery store sheet-cake (the four-year-old picked it by the decorations,)
  • Chocolate mousse cake with raspberry glaze, no longer on the menu at the dinner restaurant but produced by request for one of the older celebrants,
  • “Ultimate chocolate” cake at the same restaurant, and
  • Homemade carrot cake made by an aunt the next day.

This glut of frosting (yes, there were leftovers) may explain why I returned to Amherst with an entire otherwise-untouched strawberry rhubarb pie.

Mmm, strawberry rhubarb.

That Victor Tsoi album, is that available in the U.S.? I don’t speak Russian, I just love listening to music in languages I don’t understand. I’ve got a Kino album in my collection somewhere, and the infamous Red Wave album of four bands from the U.S.S.R. (including Kino) produced by an American woman named Joanna Stingray.
