Helicopter, Helicopter Let Your Long Rope Down

Ryan is working up at Kokanee Glacier for the day. We drove down to the airport together where I stayed and listened to the briefing (”in the case of a hard landing”), and then watched my husband fly away in a helicopter.

I’m a little worried for him, and perhaps a little jealous.

Lampstand

When Serena and I first moved in together, into that little convent apartment in Inglewood that she and her husband now occupy, I wandered into a little book-binding shop down the street and found a case of beautiful papers. I fell in love with the one now adorning the shades of this lamp, and paid $20 for a single sheet of it. I’ve been carting it around with me as I’ve moved and moved and moved again - and now, finally, I have used it!

The rest of this floor lamp was free. It was given to my parents, brass and sans shades, who passed it on to us. At first I hesitated , but they lovingly painted it silver and I gladly took it off their hands. Immediately, I covered one of the shades. And then it sat for a few months. But, as of yesterday, it’s finished.

Yeasayer - Sunrise

I’m giving you a link to a song. But don’t you dare listen to it on your horrible computer speakers. Slap on some good headphones, plunk yourself down in front of a great sound system, or, ideally, if your stereo isn’t awful in your car, listen to this driving on the highway. This song just washes over you. It’s ethereal. So listen to it with someone you love, or someone you at least really like and, a couple of minutes in, you’ll love them. You’ll want to give them the sunrise.

Song: Sunrise

Artist: Yeasayer

Album: All Hour Cymbals

Faux Sushi

Candy sushi makes me just so gleeful! It whimsically brings together two of my favorite things.

In the past little while I have come across several sites that have done this:
There is chocolate sushi by Koo-Ki Sushi.
Not Martha made some adorable ones with twinkies that I really loved. Hers were inspired by The Secret Life of Food by Clare Crespo. I definitely want to buy this book.

I decided to use marshmallows, and added the “wasabi” chocolate mint and fake grass that you get with take-out sushi. For roe, I used Nerds.

They were fun to make but now I have an intense craving for real sushi.
