Day of the Skulls!!!

Drum roll please...

Today a long-awaited package arrived. Brandon has been wanting a human skull for awhile, and although real skulls are impossibly expensive, he found a pretty good replica online and ordered it. And today, it arrived! Below is Brandon's skull collection: (Left to right: a clay skull that Eric sculpted for Brandon for Christmas, a baby monkey skull (real), an adult monkey skull (real), an adult human skull (replica). Our house is looking a little morbid these days.

And in other news, I got an awesome apron for my birthday, made by my mom! I love it. We forgot to take a full-length shot of the apron, so look for that in a future post (trust me, it is worth posting--sooooo cute!). I tried out the apron this week when I made the Napoletana Mac 'n' Cheese (recipe online at the S'mac website!). I realize we just posted about this macaroni and cheese, but now having made it at home, I would just like to reiterate: IT IS AWESOME! Seriously, print out the recipe and make it.
The green is fresh basil and the red is roasted tomatoes. Guess what else is in there: roasted garlic. Drool...

And a blast from the past: Me, circa 1993, with the homemade valentines Mom and I made for my class.And famed psychologist Stanley Milgram, circa 1977, with copies of his books.
Clearly great minds think (pose?) alike.
