A quick note...

Lyndsay is home from the hospital. She tested negative for all forms of hepatitis, though some of the other viral test results aren't back yet. Still, she may have permanent liver damage.

This has been a trying experience for all of us.

We're making her favorite foods in an undisguised effort to get her energy level back up. Last night, it was grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup and fruit salad. Since it was 101F here, the fruit salad was especially welcome.

This morning, brunch will be crepes stuffed with fresh peaches and cream cheese.

(Later)

Jordan informed me he doesn't eat crepes. "Pancakes are OK", he said, "but not crepes. I don't like them." This was AFTER I'd already made 15 crepes.

This could be simple teenage intransigence, or it may have something to do with French food. He won't eat quiche, either, but if I tell him it's a Southwestern omlet in a pie crust, it's acceptable.
