...dessert cart! I hesitate to attempt a description, but, in the spirit of journalistic duty, I'll give it a shot. Nineteen tarts, pies and concoctions, including an absolutely sinful key lime and white chocolate pie, a deadly flourless chocolate cake, homemade banana ice cream and various sweet, fluffy extravaganzas, drizzled expertly with a homemade raspberry sauce. It was truly astounding...

A third of the material...
...modified Ellerbee--pulling the plug without tossing the set. My daughter smugly (and correctly) predicted the loss would be hardest on me. Those first few evenings without the tube seemed to last forever. But we've been reading more, playing cards and going out for ice cream after dinner. As I write this, the kid is in the other room teaching herself to play the piano...
