Since Charlotte was born, I've been working my way through my post-gestational-diabetes wish list.  Which means pizza, pasta, pancakes, cake, ice cream, and all kinds of other previously contraband carbs.  One item on the list was a root beer float, and although I haven't yet had the pleasure of guzzling one, the husband made a root beer float pie Fourth of July weekend.  It was as delicious as it was decorative, and I gobbled up my slice.  Not that that stopped me from inhaling my mom's blueberry crisp and chocolate cake.

So it was a very happy and hearty, if not-heart-healthy, Fourth of July.  

As they say, let food freedom ring!

Thanks for your comment (Rafe and Ruby might grow up yet)..well I did get up to episode 8 with Ben in our Ren & Wade story that I posted on IVY- Two new hires at the old book store), but I can see it's fleeting. It is interesting to see what interest some people..or saying how serious they are and then getting stumped, but I kind of expected it. I think he wrote everything on his phone anyway. Oh well, I've never actually had counted on having writing partner. But it was fun challenge.
