Oh, I didn't bother to explain my artistic intent, but I did take the
second or two to explain that it was a pomegranate seed ... Her take
on it amused me more than anything else, though I did later decide
that shot didn't have enough contrast and found one lit from a different
angle that I liked better.

Pie more than cake and cookies, and random dinner-type stuff, and
quite yummy (plus, raiding her kitchen for snacks gives me access
to hummus and halloumi and those wrinkly, dark-as-Darth-Vader's-soul,
bitter olives I like so much, and other things I never have enough
slack for in my grocery budget to buy for myself.

Thanks. I'm still holed up here for a little longer because Mom
has heat and my house doesn't at the moment, but I'm feeling much

look and sound better than I did _before_ I got the flu that
brought along the pneumonia as a hitchiker. Still bloody tired
though.
