Tres leches

Happy belated Easter. We spent the holiday with some relatives of R's in a suburb of Baltimore. We hid some eggs for the kids' hunt, broke our alcohol fast with some excellent wine, and ate an ultra-tasty dinner. For our contribution to the meal, we brought a cake from a Mexican bakery. We had a heck of a time ordering the thing because nobody there knew English, and my Spanish is broken at best. (Who am I kidding, I knew a few words, and that's it.) Eventually we managed to purchase a tres leches (three milks) cake, which we highly recommend by the way. We had it for the first time at the dinner party we threw a few weeks ago. Some friends brought it with them, and we were blown away. It was definitely worth the communication challenge to track another one of those puppies down.

Another thing we did over the weekend was paint our spare bedroom. It was a close call though. We had just barely enough paint to finish the job. Seriously -- we used the absolute last drop of paint to cover the last white spot on the wall. We had to stretch it a little thin, so if you ever stay with us, don't look too close.

There are three new CityLife News Team videos that are going to be posted in quick succession (as of this writing only one of them is available, but the others should follow soon). I just wanted to point out that I did not shoot or edit these videos. I was offered the chance, but I had to pass it up because the shoots took place during the work day. A talented guy named Chris, who helped produce the other CityLife and Bud Light videos, took the videography reins on these, and I think he did a great job. Chris also built the web sites where these videos are played. He recently upgraded the video player that is being used on the site, which fixed an audio issue we were having (you may have noticed the annoying skipping that was occurring). Anyway, the videos look and sound better now. Check 'em out again when you're in the mood for a BLFC retrospective... or don't.

Lastly, see Thom Yorke go to town.
