semi-random flotsam
We both sleep in and ease into our days. S needs to reorganize her packing and I need to cram everything back into my bag.

We flew down early to avoid airline issues. January, anything can happen.
We had no issues getting here, but I arrive to a useless but frustrating notice from my company’s travel partner about the conference I’m attending which comes down to “Smelta Airlines” (not their real name) has once again screwed me over. (Sigh)
So when I wake up early (asleep not long after 9pm) this morning I’m scrambling to rearrange what I can until Monday when the flight itself can be adjusted, doing my Spanish lesson for the day, and then dozing on and off…

It was just 5 of us: Continue reading “D is for Dinner”
Apropos, since April is a busy birthday month. And today is also Young Mrs. B’s birthday, for which there will almost certainly be cake.
(Young Mrs. B makes some of the most delicious cakes ever, but I am not sure if she would be baking for herself.)
Meanwhile I have been wondering if my shortcake recipe can be doctored to make a nice maple cake. Continue reading “C is for Cake”
I had guests over for dinner.
