Because returning from a holiday in the middle of the week is, well, brutal

Today, because yesterday was the 4th, we’re going nice and easy.

A little Belgium pearl sugar.  Or maybe confectioner’s.

Deceptively delicious.  They’ll make having to return to work on a Thursday almost okay.

Scissor Sisters.  The Kitchen Gods love ’em. Oh, and of course, there was dancin’ today.
