TWO KIDS IN A CAR

This set me straight all day.
These two kids fell in love with Gotye's song and video, and requested the song be played over and over. 
Their parents set up a camera in the car and 
over a few cars rides and many punch buggies they created this clip.


Watch the entire piece. 


Again!

peach plum berry galette

  

For the past thirty years, 

 July 1st has been about birthday celebration

and a really delicious dessert including raspberries.

 This year I couldn't decide combining

 blueberries or peaches or plums 

 and the ever favorite raspberry. 

 And so I didn't.  

 The birthday dessert, with its lip smacking goodness, 

 was eaten with great gusto. 

Happy Birthday Spark!

 OK!

 This is what I'm sipping right now 

 and it cannot be beat, 

 for reals.
 Tazo Passion Tea (steeped and cooled),

 lots of lemon and a little sweetener,

 I use Truvia.

 Plenty of ice, 

 and the straw is a must.

 Don't let the photograph fool you,

 these are the big quart size jars

 for all afternoon sipping.

happy weekend!
