Belated b-day pics

Sheesh...am I behind in updating! Here are some quick pics of a sushi roll potluck party I threw for Dav's b-day (er, that was weeks ago...). It was the first time to have a gang of campalicians over since Tesla. I miss having dinner parties at home so it was fun. Luckily, Tesla kept her usual snooze schedule and was sacked out by 8. Dav set up iSight so we could keep an electronic eye on her in the bedroom while we relaxed in the living room.

I am not a baker. I love cooking meal dishes, not cakes. But I decided to try when I found the cutest heart-shaped baking pan. It looked OK...but you know what? It just tasted like a giant brownie...and I had sifted flour, beat egg whites, and all sorts of fancy steps. I can do pies/tarts. But a tart for a special birthday just didn't seem right...sigh.
