So here are some random highlights—I won't start blogging in earnest until next weekend, when I get to download Kate's pictures. It vants to suck your blood. This is what happens when you fall asleep in the taxi. I only wish I was.

Plus a dash of a few extra spices—cardamom, nutmeg, and cloves), and my favorite pie crust (from A Platter of Figs. These would make...
