    I bought my first umbrella at 19 years old, so I wouldn't get soaked on my way to work. I remember feeling so proud of myself, and the dark blue galaxy of stars on the canopy looked nice, so I thought. A week after Max came to live with us, I put that umbrella away and bought a larger one, which could fit three people under the canopy. Max uses the older one for himself, (which is really better-suited for kids, anyway) and the newer umbrella is for the family when we go out as a group. I guess, buying that bigger umbrella shows how I was already committed to having a family, even before we knew Max would be with us permanently.

    Halloween may have been invented by the Celts, but I've heard the "American" version is gaining popularity overseas.

    Congratulations, Comsie!

    That, we are. Max is already plotting about Halloween costumes, though it's still six weeks away. He's got his priorities sorted.

    @raven1 Hey, Terry!

    Yup! And they were delicious! It was a lot of work, but totally worth it.

    No. The burgers I made didn't have that "middle bun". A Big Mac has American pasteurized cheese, mine had Wisconsin Cheddar. The onion-y bits on a Big Mac are dehydrated onion flakes, reconstituted in water; the onions I used were freshly chopped and lightly sauteed. The pickles, buns, and sauce were homemade, whereas McD's stuff comes from who-knows-where. I even went to a local market and told them what cuts of beef I wanted for the ground beef. Then I watched as they fed the meat into a grinder.

    Yeah, neither did I, until I went to a party where some burgers were served with the sauce already added. I was surprised because it tasted different than what I knew. Turns out, I just don't like store-bought Thousand Island. I got the recipe from the host, and now I'm a convert.

    You have that backwards, sweetie. We were the innocent ones, and you corrupted us!

    Today is National Cheeseburger Day, so I made double smash-burgers with grilled onions, cheddar cheese, homemade pickles and Thousand Island sauce.

    The indiscriminate nuking was almost preferable to the whining.

    Better wash that zucchini before frying it...

    Fried zucchini slices with homemade ranch dip is delicious.

    What about potatoes? Or zucchini?

    Owls are amazing animals, and barn owls, in particular, are a favorite of mine. I think there might be somewhere between two and five owls in the loft at any given time. Two parents and several adult children, which is somewhat rare; once they leave the nest, owls are typically solitary in nature, until they find a mate.

    Things are great! And yes, we had brunch at my friend's house this morning. Max also spotted one of the owls that lives in the barn. They like to make themselves known from time to time.

    Hahaha! More reviews from the British boys! My absolute favorite was the reaction to "Trix" cereal!
