so tomorrow is the first night of passover, and my parents are having eighteen people for the seder. O.O i offered to make a flourless chocolate bundt cake, because every year we should have a flourless chocolate bundt cake so i can have it for breakfast. i made it last year and it was lighter than i was used to - my mom's version is denser and ( Read more... )

(she's czech) fell coming off a jump, did this to her helmet, and got up and finished her run. holy carp. i also caught some of the ice dancing part of the team skate and damn, that's a pretty sport. now i'm ( Read more... )
