the shrewdness of apes

i know what you're thinking: Mother's Day is a mere 25 days away, and I haven't a clue what to get for dear old mum! well fret no more, my possibly British subconscious, because there are now two (count 'em) t.s.o.a. approved ways to please your mom or anyone else you happen to owe your entire existence to.

first, the wife and friends have put their French Culinary Institute (motto: needs more butter) training to work with a luscious menu that's so good (and baked) you won't want to give it away. so order one for yourself too, you selfish bastard.

now, another talented friend has launched the website of her gift basket business. the stuff is good and she's got the testimonials to prove it (a couple are even from people i don't know!). so order now, now, now!
