I am coming to you this morning with a request (typed one-handed) for your indulgence.  I took a tumble down the stairs on Halloween, and am likely to be out of the kitchen for awhile.  I hope you all had a lovely holiday weekend (here is what ours looked like before the fall, and after).  I’ll be back next week with a report on the Marine Corps birthday (no, I promise I did not throw myself down the stairs to get out of making the cake) and the Commandant’s Ball.  See you soon!
