How sweet is that? Not saccharine, that’s for sure.

Recipe for butter finger sandwiches:

1 stick frozen butter (sweet, if possible)
6 tbsp liquid peanut butter
6 tbsp apple butter
Warm sharp knife.
1/4 c. flour (whole wheat works well)
2 tbsp brown sugar

Preparation: Warm a sharp knife for cutting the butter. If your peanut butter is not easily spreadable when refrigerated, separate out 5 tbsp of it and mix in 1/2 tbsp peanut oil and 1/2 tbsp cream, then rechill. Sift the flour and sugar together in a small bowl.

  • Flour hands and a cutting board with the flour mixture.
  • Slice frozen butter into millimeter-thick squares with the knife, and place on the board.
  • Alternately spread peanut butter and apple butter on the upturned faces of the butter slices (with a cold knife).
  • Flip each peanut-buttered butter slice onto the neighboring apple-buttered butter slice. Place the resulting sandwiches on a sugared serving plate.
  • Refrigerate until ready to eat.

Bon appetit!   Makes ~50 finger sandwiches (serves 10).

Spring lawn parties

Monday, May 17th, 2004

250 same-sex marriage license were handed out b/t midnight and 1am this morning at Cambridge City Hall, after an afternoon-long party in front of the city hall. Everyone looks beautiful when they beam! And there were a lot of beaming faces there. I walked back home just as a line of policemen were walking back to the Central Sq station; someone was taking a photo of the passing line, and her friend started singing the “one of these things is not like the others…” theme song.

All I have to say is, if I were getting on in years, there could hardly be a better old age home than the one across the street from that city hall. Those gentlemen and women have front row seats to everything, and they seem awfully happy.

Mars speaks! That super-hi-res photo rocks my entire week. Look at those sand waves… and the sedimentation layers from ancient waters@! As Struppi would say, “Waugh!” …And keep your eyes peeled for some of the advantages of having real live waters here on Earth — a Lobster Zone machine coming soon to a resto near you.
