Cake! Cake! Cake!

Babies these days get to mark their "monthsaries" and always with a chunk of cake. The recently departed Steve Jobs said in a memorable commencement address,"Don't settle."

My grandchild's mother, Kimi, was ready to settle for a cupcake to commemorate the sixth month of life of our tweetheart, her daughter Kai Mykonos (notoriously renamed Butones by her grandmother--that should be me). I was also willing to compromise--when I texted the Grumpa of Butones to remind him about priority to-buy list (our maintenance medication), I added "Optional: cake for Kai's monthsary."

Well, what do you know? Grumpa obliged, necessitating an extra walk up Session Road to purchase a medium-size Black Forest from Vizco's.I was hoping for four kalamansi tarts from O Mai Kan though, but that's reaching for the moon.

What more when Butones learns to speak? Will she say "With thick caramel middle"? Hope she learns how to say "please".
