Buffalo Pride 2014

My nephew Tyler visited us for Pride weekend. It was great to be able to introduce him to city life and the diversity of queer culture. Denise, (e:Terry)'s wonderful mommy is also visiting. These pix are a blend of Saturday night's Dyke March and Sunday's events. So much fun! It was also my birthday on Saturday and I got to enjoy brunch with with (e:xandra), (e:Dianne), Tyler and Denise, then met the boys at the Harbor after the Skyride. We hung out in the back yard of the 24 where the wisteria was gorgeous and Basra was shoving (e:Dianne) around on the canoe. (e:Dianne), (e:xandra), Tanya and I went to the dyke march, spent a few minutes at the party on Allen, then had Ethiopian food! Yummy! (e:flacidness), (e:hodown), (e:zarkasm) and her boy joined us. We went back to the 24 and played games, then hit Nietzsche's for Stripteasers' 10th anniversary party. Much love! :-)

I'd also love to be riding bike, but enjoying a healing sunshiny day is about perfect.

phone trouble

my note 2 is behaving badly since the last os update on Verizon. I can't publish photos to estrip thru the gallery or g+ photos. gallery doesn't work much at all. hangouts is also cranky and sometimes won't notify me or receive chats for hours on end, which is maddening when it's my primary way of communicating with (e:Terry) and (e:Dianne). I don't even know what additional information would be relevant to diagnosing, I'm having trouble even searching for the problem(s)/resolution because it's so nonspecific.

I have lots of images I'd like to share but I'm stuck with this tech problem. ideas on solutions? thanks :-)

snow and origami

it's very snowy in PA. I've been a little obsessed with origami lately. I made a classic butterfly yesterday.

last two

the last two cupcakes.... Glad we saved them from the horde.

Chocolate cupcake recipe from the 1989 edition of the Good Housekeeping cookbook, which has great instructional sections for beginning cooks. I made two kinds of icing: fireball whisky cream cheese, and traditional butter cream.

had a wonderful time last night, thanks, guys. Happy New Year!

Ice Machine Master!

I have defeated the ice machine! I made ice last for 24 hours!! The trick is to freeze fairly big blocks of ice - I used some ~20oz plastic food containers. The ice slips out with just a quick run under water. Then I filled the rest of the machine with some smaller blocks made from little soda cans and regular ice cubes. I don't recommend the little soda cans - the edges were too sharp after I cut off the top. The bottoms of half gallon milk jugs would probably work well but I like being able to close and stack the tupperwares.

(e:Dianne) is recovering well from surgery for the most part. She's able to make her own coffee already!

I am so grateful to Tanya, (e:bluevelvetjack), Mykal, (e:Terry) and (e:Yesthatcasey) for their visits and hostess gifts of ice, beer and mayonnaise.
