Sunny Day After Stormy Night

I made more ebelskivers this morning. They're much prettier with practice. Photo by Pete.

Yesterday we had a nor' easter. We didn't get any snow where we are though. Lucky us. Today it's beautiful and sunny (also windy and cold). Fay's got her wheels on and she's itching to chase some cars!

Muuuah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Last post today (most likely)

Pumpkin pedicure

 Skull manicure

Yes of course, I did them myself - don't look too close!

I've had two pieces so far. I think I could probably eat the whole thing by myself. However, I am sharing it with Pete and my mom.

Velvety

Here you can see some of why Fay loves Amagansett. The lawn is so velvety soft and green and pleasant on her feet and there are plenty of cars to chase from the safety of the securely fenced yard. She loves to have a job.

Another velvety thing: my new haircut.

These aren't especially velvety but I made them:

Ebelskivers! 

These are cornmeal filled with strawberry preserves. Okay, they look sad because they fell in the oven. Also because this is all that was left after Mom and I had our share. They were really delicious and I'll definitely make them again. I got the recipe from "Ebelskivers: Filled Pancakes & Other Mouthwatering Minniatures."

Trippy

Tonight I was imitating one of my mom's friends to myself: "Hello Kethie? It is Nahdeen..."

Suddenly I imagined one of my friends' daughters doing the same thing years from now. Then I imagined my grandmother doing the same thing with one of her mom's friends.

All of a sudden I was every woman. Cue Chaka Kahn.
