Birthday trifle for a very cool sister.
Trifle with raspberries, pistachios, clementines and a calvados sabayon cream. There is one candle lit in the middle. The top is white from the obscene amounts of cream and decorated with raspberries and pistachios.

Munro is going to be just fine while I'm away

Thinking about this tonight for some reason...
Lincoln on the Know Nothing Party August 24, 1855: Letter to Joshua F. Speed The American or "Know Nothing Party" was an anti-immigrant political party of the 1850's. I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes." When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty-to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic].
