So this is perhaps not a representative sample of our daily living, but we did indeed eat cake again, this time cheesecake. Behold: it starts with cream cheese! and granola crust! And requires a lemon zester and a springform pan. This is one cheesecake that always turns out beautifully, and we topped it with a great blueberry compote. Those are, attentive blog viewers will note, the birthday dishes, because it happens that the second-oldest denizen of our corner of the world... is now a leeetlee bit older. Ah, 35. So far, so good. It was very much the highlight of the day that our beloved honorary cousin, the fabulous Dorothy, now has a brother, born on my birthday. Now *that* is a friend who really loves you!
The days are getting longer, and warmer, here - I had a nice good run outside on Saturday and am thinking about a cheap local 10K next Saturday. Spring is not around the corner, exactly, but it's across the street and down the block a bit, browsing in some shop window, not noticing our impatient foot-tapping. The kids are now accustomed to thinking of 34 degrees as "warm out" and play pretty well in the snow still, although the novelty has long worn off. But as we endure, we're holding out for better things, and it looks like it might pay off yet.
