We switched from gas to induction this year and are having anxious discussions about how to flame the brandy. (Historically we have just held it in a label over the burner until it combusted.) Looks like a candle will do the trick just as well.

Family lives out of town, celebrated with my daughter and her family yesterday, will celebrate with my family of origin next week and my in-laws all live in England. Going to the movies is a rare treat for us- why on Earth wouldn't we go tonight?
