ear to ear

Three things that made me grin inwardly, smile toothily, or guffaw, um, goofily this week:

(I'll leave it to you to figure out which item provoked which response. Keep in mind the subtle humor of baked goods...)

1. Laura Shapiro's article, "The Lord is My Chef."

2. Persian baklava from Tabrizi bakery.

3. A trip to Russo's with Varina and the two bright little persimmons I brought home with me.
