selkie's birthday was duly observed with my parents and my husbands, a meal of much carnivory, and an apricot marmalade cake doused in whipped cream, strawberry sugar, and candles that burned like driftwood salts. Many deeply goofy photos were taken of various combinations of us. So much is wrong with the world and it is still true that my family for an evening is happy. A photogenic snow began to drift the streets as I drove everyone home.

I was today years old when I learned about the risks of toxic off gases from burning driftwood! Given how many beaches I've combed, I'm shocked.

Fortunately since they were designed for use on cakes, I believe the candles reproduce the effect without the risks.
