it seemed like a good idea at the time, but we kept sparklet up until 9:30 tonight … bowling. at least she was diggin’ the blacklight, even if she wanted to eat the balls instead of roll them.

we’re up in new england for a family reunion, and on day one we took a boat out to the isle of shoals — tiny rock islands about 9 miles off the coast of new hampshire and maine.
not only is it a place we’ve boated to as a family for as long as i can remember, but it turns out that we have ancestors who used to live on the islands back in the 1600s. of course, there were only two families desperate enough to live on the isles those days, and they inbred like crazy, but that’s a sign of courage and persistence, right?

sparklet’s sick, and has been since the day after mommy left for san francisco. little bit of fever, but nothing serious — until she started projectile vomiting on Friday.
i will say, that there isn’t much sleep going around … and yesterday sparklet didn’t manage a nap over 20 minutes in length. the temperature being over 100 degrees for the last three days hasn’t help much either, as going for a walk is traditionally the easiest way to get an unhappy sparklet to take a nap. so today, we resorted to driving. for three hours. in no particular direction. by the time we ended up in delaplane — out Route 50 in Virginia, towards Shenandoah — sparklet had slept for an hour and she slept for another two on the way back. we’re all feeling better already. p.s. nine month pediatrician checkup was last friday, and she’s still growing like a weed. 99th percentile on height, 95th on weight, and the doctor is happy with the balance between the two. she’ll be talking by the next appointment, and we’re to start adding meat to the diet. exciting times. |

![[]](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4147/4952079595_84bf5a6ceb.jpg) when i was in russia working on my honors thesis — reprinted here in full for those with six hours to kill — i fell in love with exactly one authentic Russian dish. and this isn’t it. the dish i loved was a side dish, some kind of mushrooms and peppers cooked in sour cream, Parmesan chesse and dill — and i’ve yet to figure out how to cook it properly. however, i’ve gotten basically the same taste by adding dill and sour cream to a relatively standard mushroom alfredo sauce. full recipe after the jump.
