Happy Independence Day!

I'm off to this and this. It's a bit hair-raising when the best free concert on a major holiday happens to be your ex's favorite band, but what can you do? Make a spinach salad, bring friends and a towel (always pack a towel) and go.

I started the day with chocolate chip pancakes (we added tiny bits of serrano peppers to some of them - you'd be surprised how good that is!) and Shark Tale.

Aaaahhhhh, vacation.
