A giant Costco cake can be obliterated with the help of a few friends.

So thank you to all those who pitched in.

Maybe cupcakes next time?

If you live in Mass, don’t forget to head to the polls to vote for Kennedy’s replacement. The ads last night were out of control, back to back insanity. So I’ll be glad when they disappear. At a little after 7am there was an impressive turnout. It impressed me at any rate.

So my civic duty is done for the day.

Yesterday I made yam tacos and they were darn tasty. Similar to the boniato tacos at my old favorite Agua Verde, these had leftover roasted yams cut up into little pieces, mixed in with some sautéed onions, piled into a corn tortilla and sprinkled with extra sharp cheddar.  I see why they add an avocado sauce because mine were slightly on the dry side.

Go vote!  Go make yam tacos!

Now that I’m back in Mass. and the new year has begun, it’s time for a little sprucing up the place.  First of all, I have my birthday present to hang. Marika, see the note about goggles?

Does this look straight?
