Sent the newest pictures of Shake’N'Bake (see sidebar) to my parents and my father responded with, “Thanks.  I got them and made email-size for mom.  They look great.  Pretty soon she’ll be blowin’ the froth off the ale.”

One half of me wants to nod with pride (Hells yeah, she will!) and the other wants to deny that she will even know what alcohol is until she’s 30.
