TL;DW: Guy is fined $50 for leaving the bike lane (which is not actually illegal) because of dangerous obstructions, and embarks on pedantic exercise of remaining in the bike lane at all times—no matter what he crashes into.
Absolute comedy gold.
(I’m running errands for my pregnant wife. While walking to a nearby store, I see two teenagers harassing a child that is only four or five years old. I shoo them away from the boy, and he introduces himself.)
Me: “So, where’s your mom at?”
Boy: “She’s in the store. Do you have kids?”
Me: “Not yet. We’re expecting a baby girl soon, though.”
Boy: “Well, she’s going to turn out nice, like you! So, I’m going to marry her someday!”
(I laugh, and play along while I bring him to the service desk, and wait until his mom picks him up. Six years later, my daughter comes home from school and introduces us to a friend that defended her against a bully on the playground. I didn’t recognize him, but he certainly knew who I was!)
Strawberry IceBox Cake
Ingredients
2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
3 1/4 cups whipping cream, divided
1/3 cup confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
24 to 28 whole graham crackers
2 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
Directions
With a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, whip 3 cups of cream until it just holds stiff peaks. Add the confectioners sugar, and vanilla and whip to combine. Spread a small spoonful of whipped cream on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan, or a similarly-sized platter. Lay down six graham crackers. Lightly cover the top of the graham crackers with more whipped cream, and then a single layer of strawberries. Repeat three times, until you have four layers of graham crackers. Spread the last of the whipped cream over the top.
To make the ganache, heat the cream until bubbles form around the edges, then pour over the chopped chocolate. Let it stand for a few minutes, then whisk until the mixture is thick and glossy. Drizzle over the layered cake. Refrigerate for at least four hours, or until the crackers have softened completely. Garnish with additional berries.
Let’s Dish
This strawberry filled no-bake dessert has summer written all over it. And the chocolate drizzle is a perfect compliment to the berries and whipped cream. It’s so easy to put together and looks beautiful too. Just make sure to refrigerate it long enough that the graham crackers soften into delicious cake-like layers. This doesn’t keep well for more than a day or so, but you shouldn’t have a problem eating it all before then!
So, in the middle of everything today, we ran across a hellaciously distressed momma mallard and a bunch of her baby ducks that had fallen down a sewer grate. Another guy was already trying to fish them out, so my friend and I called animal control before we tried to fish the rest of them out. When Animal Control got there, we had all of them out and the mother duck quacking very happily. I was surprised - none of us got snapped at or hurt. I was even holding onto a bag at one point that had all of them in it and she just watched me.
I love how the duck is perched on the guy’s butt
I’M SO HAPPY
