I Give #1Wife Crab...Cakes...

Okay. That was in poor taste. #1Wife had a birthday yesterday and, as I write this, is spending the day-after-birthday in Paris. Working. I know. She will be back in a short 8 days.

Wha?

Eight? Do you know how many that is? That's like a week. I say if we're all still alive when she gets back, I'm going to be looking for a medal.

But first, crab cakes. They start out looking a bit messy:


But then you add some Gruet, the finest sparkling wine that New Mexico can produce:


If you're not a Gruet drinker, get on that immediately if not sooner. Throw in a Caprese and a Caprese model:


Cook up the crab cakes and insert an Ugg. I meant to take pictures of the cooking process but then, I didn't:


And wrap up with cupcakes. Like crab cakes, 'cept different.


Some people like cupcakes more than others.


Happy birthday, #1Wife. I would have included pictures of the gifts, but they didn't fit well at the calf, so they are on their way back to Zappos - best. service. ever. Thank you Zappos!

The other development of the weekend is that #1Son can open cabinets. At will. All of them. Sometimes with one hand - sometimes with two. Here he is taking inventory of our tupperware.


They make an intimidating pair. I think PretendCousin (in orange) is going to grow up to be an evil mastermind.

  1. It was DE-LICIOUS!!!!! MMMMMMM. I would agree...PretendCousin seems to have a mischievous smile on his face. #1 Son may be a bad influence?
