We decided to celebrate Alan's birthday a few days late this year since we had way too many cakes and pies and assorted cookies and candy laying around from Christmas. So we celebrated today.
His favorite pistachio cake. Can you see how green it is? Apparently there is an actual recipe that you are supposed to use to make a different version of this treat but the first year he told me he wanted a pistachio cake, I couldn't imagine there would be a recipe and made up one of my own. He was very nice and did not tell me "That's not how my Mother used to make it" so we've continued to make my version each year because it is much easier than the recipe that I have now actually seen.

Happy Birthday old man! :) :) (I know, I'm catching up and fast)
DirtDartWife: Thank you there you youngin. You should benefit from my vast years and wisdom. Wait just a goll-darn minute. You are what 12 or 13 days younger that I am. I think we have this conversation every year. Well let me give you a bit of wisdom, because I am older than you. What you should do is get your self a time machine, go back to when you are young and tell yourself not to get old. Getting old is awful. Look I forgot that we had this same conversation last year. Then again if you got a time machine and you when back in time and told yourself not to get old then maybe you would not ever need to find a time machine and they you would not remind yourself to no get old and you would any way. It is like going back in time to kill your own grandfather. So, maybe you should just take some other advice. Write things down. I don't do this, but you can see how well that is working so you should write things down. I don't know what you might want to write down, so maybe you should write everything down. I think maybe that will work. Yes, that is it, write everything down. I know that will take a lot of time, and you will be ... old... by the time... oh heck that won't work. so don't write things down that is what I do and it does not work... for ... arugh! so I suggest you build a time machine. Oh wait I think I said that one already. I guess I don't have any great wisdom to past on to you. I guess the 12 or 13 days that I have on you is not worth a hill of beans. Which reminds me you need a hill to ski on. Beans don't help you much when you are skiing but you do need hills. So the moral of this story is that you should not try to catch up to me, writing things down is a waste of time, and build a time machine won't work, and when you get older your mind gets more and more twisted and you write long rambling comments like this one and laugh at your own jokes that no one else will laugh at. Oh that was right, I started out to say thanks.
Beans do too help with skiing... what do you think gives some people the propulsion (aside from the pull of gravity) to help them down the hill? hahahahahahahaha
Hope you had a great one! :)
If you eat enough beans you don't have to buy a lift pass.
Only if you want to make it up a small portion of the hill. Nowadays they have staggered lifts that don't take you all the way up. So I guess that means beans at the bottom, cabbage at the middle and then exlax at the top (that helps to get you down).
