Wow- tonight's pizza was the best in a long while!

Interesting article on gestation crates versus group housing for sows. I cannot imagine how anyone, ANYone, except farmers only interested in money, can support gestation crates. With all we know about pigs' intelligence and social ways of living, gestation crates can't be seen as anything other than horrible cruel jails.

Hilarious quotes from last night's Real Time re: last Wednesday's debate...

"Obama looked so dead, Romney tried to baptize him." -Bill Maher

"You gotta hand it to Romney. He was in full command of his bullshit." -Bill Maher

And the closing monologue was hysterical!

Don't y'all think Frank Luntz looks like fat man in a little suit?

 

Pizza and Bill, strawberry cake, the leaves they've started a'coming

/

Where have I been all day? I don't know, but it was a nice one. Beautiful too though rain threatened for a bit but then walked itself back. Though the temps remain warm enough for shorts most of the time, fall is definitely in the air, and the leaves have started blanketing all horizontal surfaces. Raking is such a pleasurable though futile activity; normally such Sisyphean tasks would frustrate me, but not raking. I love it. So anyway, it was a lovely family-focused day in which each of us also got to do something for his/her-self. I had a two cake and salad catering order to deliver this evening which was a pleasure, and just look at this gorgeous strawberry cake. It's two layers of strawberry cake with fresh strawberries in between and a whipped cream-mascarpone frosting to cover it all. Perfection! And tonight? Grilled pizza and Bill Maher with my honey- what could be better?!
