So we were commenting on how these toaster oven sheet pans get so dirty in the corners.  And Doug said, I wonder if I can burn it off.  It was semi-successful on the first one.  But then he left the next one on the stove too long, and the pan melted.  And in case you’re wondering, aluminum melts at 1220°F.

My mom is going to an 80s party in May, and she had to idea what to wear.  So I told her, “We need to get you to the Garment District in Cambridge.”  We went today, it was all pretty hilarious, and I promise I will post a picture of her in the getup she ultimately bought.  Stay tuned.

If you want a traditionally made Icelandic sweater, you need to go to the Handknitters Association of Iceland. Anywhere else is selling cheap knockoffs.  The sweaters aren’t cheap, but they will last a lifetime.
