Per my friend, SJ: thin wafer with fig jam topped with half of a turkish fig that has been briefly broiled with goat cheese on top. YUM! T and I then riffed on that by putting walnuts on some and speck (an Italian ‘bacon’) on others. Fab!

Must have break

OMG, I have let the kids watch a record amount of tv today. Tom must get home now. I can’t believe he’s leaving first thing tomorrow morning, jack has a half day of school, I have to pack for us all, and we leave the house at 6a Friday for suuuuuch a long day. Do y’all think my ears might fall off on the plane? Do you think my head could really explode?

Melting

Y’all, I know I went on and on about how it was time for summer to get here, but this?? It “feels like” 102 outside, and that is just too darn hot for me. Everything just seems limp and on-the-edge-of-testy. And we’re going to Louisiana on Friday- let me assure you that it is NOT cooler there.

On another note, did you watch the video of Anthony Weiner confessing? I have no idea how he thought any of this would end well for him, and I am SO GLAD to see that his wife has NOT been standing next to him like the good little woman. My ass on that move. Harumph!
