Boston Cream Pie and Parker House Rolls were originally created at the www.omnihotels.com/hotels/bosto.... We went and this is their current iteration of the Boston Cream Pie.
A round cake, almost as tall as is wide, on a square white plate. The top of the cakes is smooth dark chocolate with white chocolate design. The cake is wrapped in chopped almonds. The plate is tastefully decorated with strawberries, chocolate sauce, and fresh whipped cream.

At my favorite pancake restaurant and found a small rubber cartoon chicken button? Or maybe part of a toy? This is not the first time I've seen this chicken.

New personal goal.
Plastic popcorn bucket in the form of Godzilla's decapitated head (something like a grey, snouted dinosaur). The head is tilted back, looking upwards with his mouth slightly open as if to cry, "Oh Godzilla, why have you forsaken me?"The same decapitated Godzilla head, but now the mouth is wide open and filled with popcorn.

I just purchased two books by Tom Cox (@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social): _Everything Will Swallow You_ and _Notebook_. I may have read one or both of these in the (relatively) recent past, but in case I hadn't I decided to buy them again. If you haven't read anything by Tom Cox, buy a book or two!

How do you take eggs out of an egg carton? I start at one end and work my way to the other. My friend takes them from alternating end so the carton "stays balanced." I know he's wrong, but am I the only one who is right?

New friend!
A friendly purple frog-like figure with four arms, green webbed hands and feet, and large black eyes stands in an open, welcoming pose on a white surface. It wears a brown scarf and ragged shorts, and its playful stance makes it seem harmless and not at all frightening. Do not fear this little being! It means no harm and causes no alarm or sense of impending danger.

Here's one!
Circular painting by Alfred Agache depicting the three Fates from classical mythology seated closely together. One measures a vivid red thread stretched across the scene, another gathers it, and the third leans in attentively, holding a pair of shears. An open book lies at their feet. The women wear classical garments, and the muted green background and subdued lighting create a solemn, mythological atmosphere.

Text: Please. No matter what you do. No matter who tries to convince you. For the love of humanity and the "illuminants" that hide deep under the earth's crust, crying and shrieking in a tone unheard by us. Please. We beg you. For all that is sacred. Do not even consider for a second to call this number below. With the truest of sincerity, please. Don't, do not, in any form or shape, so not. Please refrain or abstain from dialing that number below you.

Birthday blueberry pancakes 🫐 🥞!
A stack of three blueberry pancakes. One quarter of the stack has been cut loose from the rest and moved a little to the side so you can see how fluffy and blueberry-filled they are. A light scattering of powdered sugar sits on the pancakes and the white play they're on. A few pieces of strawberry are also on the pancakes.

First thing on the Birthday itinerary: Finish read _God's Junk Drawer_ by @peterclines.com. I limited myself to just a couple of chapters a day so I could relish the experience, so it took a few weeks. Besides the writing, story, characters, and pacing being fantastic, the book was FUN. Loved it!

Oh no, they have a Loki, too!
Loki, the power-hungry God of Mischief, crafted in crystal by Swarovski in a luminous shade of green. To honor Thor’s ultimate foil, Swarovski has crafted this crystallized figurine with 282 facets, along with touches of gold-tone lacquered metal forming his chest armor, scepter, horned helmet, and boots.

I'm not one to buy expensive things, and things made out of crystals that aren't just crystal aren't something I do. But somehow I keep getting ads sent to me for items like this guy (Thanos):
Thanos crafted in crystal by Swarovski. This bold and imposing figurine is a powerful tribute to the villainous titan, Thanos. With metal accents and 607 crystallized facets, Swarovski has used all of its master cutting expertise to precisely carve the features of this tall and muscular character. This includes the complete set of Infinity Stones on his gauntlet, which symbolizes Thanos’ ominous quest to dominate the universe.
