I really shouldn’t be writing a post tonight, I should be researching restaurants in Rome and Tuscany, or calling my old friend that I haven’t talked to in 6 months. Dinner at Veil was so inspiring I feel the need to get it all down in bytes before I can forget any details.

We have officially entered the Snacky Pants birthday celebration period, which extends approximately 30 days on either side of the actual anniversary of her entrance to this world. We’ve kicked in to high gear a bit earlier than usual owing to our rapidly approaching trip which will separate her from many of her usual admirers …

I was on my way out the door to work the other day and for some reason I said to Snacky Pants, "what would go with Blue Cheese Frosting?", and she gamely replied "pears of course". And then I was thinking of a great post (that I can’t seem to find) that Dana had over …
