Candlelit Jenga, East Ukrainian Village, Chicago

On Sunday when I got home at 4pm the power was out. It came on briefly at 10pm and then was out until about 1:30am. Playing Jenga by candlelight reminded me of playing Rummikub by candlelight in the 2003 NY blackout.. except this blackout was much shorter.. and more sober.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Shrimp Dip

Whenever I get the chance to bake, I do. Because I love to bake, but it’s hard to do for one person. So I like to bake for parties or when having parties or whatever. For Dallas’ weekend BBQ I baked this pineapple upside down cake. I also made a couple dozen cookies.

And then I remembered this shrimp dip that Nancy and I used to make. We used to like it so much we’d like make it then eat it for dinner… but I hadn’t made it in about 5 years or so, so I made that too. It’s really simple – a layer of cream cheese, a layer of cocktail sauce, a layer of shrimp. Let the dipping begin.

Some of Dallas’ friends from Boston were in for the weekend. On Friday night we went to a Boston Red Sox v. Chicago White Sox game. Appropriately, the giveaway that night was 2 pairs of Hanes socks. They came in handy in the 90+ degree heat. Dallas looked like some kind of pimp.. it was him and 9 girls. Luckily we got Cousin to come sit by us and help relieve Dallas of some of the pimping duties.
