As Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchit said to Mrs. Cratchit, life is full of meetings and partings.

What, on a TUESDAY?

Dearest Toasties,
Thank you for being the kindest, cleverest, most wonderful people. The Bartender will miss pictures of all your animals, your advice, your brilliant hilarity, and the goodness and care you show one another.

The dish you see was advertised as a salad. Correctly.

I was fourteen.

A piece of toast. A piece of cheese. Half an avocado. Lox. And an egg cooked in a teeny tiny egg pan. These are the things of joy and wonder. Hope you're well dear Toasties. Open-thread!

HAPPY FRIDAY

Same situation as yesterday!

She's still in Canada! Have at it, chums!

Toasties! This is the best of all salads.

Whew.

Cake for everyone! Tough week or good week? Eat all the cake.

Any day you eat an entire wafer cake is a good day (is cake the appropriate term for what's essentially a large KitKat?)

Toasties!

April is the gruelest month (yeah, that sleep-deprived). Oatmeal and mother's tears and sweetened condensed milk and walnuts is the breakfast of choice for all bartenders this week. Is it sunny where you are?

When I went to college there was no YouTube (the blogger said to her grandchildren).
