I'll stick in the mix with your feathers and wings

For Mother's Day, we made my mother savory crepes with ratatouille and then sweet crepes with confectioner's sugar, strawberries, and whipped cream. My brother's family gave her a tiny crystal cat with a tinier butterfly perched on its nose. It was low-key and nice.

I slept almost eleven hours last night. Unfortunately, it seems to be because I'm coming down sick. That is not so nice.

Autolycus sleeping all night in the small of my back, though: priceless.

That sounds like a very nice Mother's Day indeed..

I brought the fox cub's mom and dad a lovely confection: two plate-sized raspberry macarons, layered with raspberries and pistachio crème pâtissière. They were delighted.

I am glad that Autolycus is so good a nurse.

I regret only that I forgot to post this glorious artifact from Tumblr:

Well, I would've been!

(How did you make the pistachio crème pat? Does it contain actual pistachio or extract?)

Rob observed years ago that he is a very empathetic little cat. He has not ceased to be so.

That card is adorable!

That cake is well beyond my skills!--I brought it from Tatte. The creme pat was made with real pistachio.

Oh, nice!

(I didn't know. It didn't seem implausible to me.)

Ugh. There are all the germs over here too. Get better soon, and thank you for friend adding me :-)

I'm sorry you're coming down with something.

There had been previous plans to do something more elaborate, but I'm glad it worked out the way it did.

I'm sorry you're coming down with something.

Thanks. It has definitely arrived and I am doing my best to contain the damage.
