It's from one of the Martha Stewart Living magazines. A hazelnut torte. Those are layers of crepes - some 30 odd layers. The cream between layers is hazel nut oil with heavy cream whipped. And then topped with chocolate ganache. Truly sinful!!
The 16+ inches is what I did today.
Cut and donated to Locks of Love. The cut was done at Fantastics Sam's. It was really odd and quite a relief not to have that weight on my head. But it was pretty scary too. Let's face it, I've had it for quite a while now. But the gal did a really nice job and I can still pull it back and it doesn't take as long to wash it or dry it.
Big difference huh! The kids now want my husband to get his hair cut. It's now longer then mine. Next will be new glasses.
Knitting? Don't look for any here. Not that much going on that I can tell you about. But perhaps some news soon. Plus it's too blasted hot, hazy and humid to even think about knitting. We're thinking about swimming around here. And time spent in the River floating along with the tides.........
BTW, did you know that you can donate you empty ink cartridges from your printers to Locks of Love? Turns out that that is a main source of income for them. You can pick up pre-paid envelopes at hair salons that support LOL.

Locks of Love must have a great PR campaign going because you are the 3rd or 4th person I know that is donating hair to them. Thank you for sharing the info about the ink cartridges. I can't donate hair, but I sure run through ink cartridges.
Hey Genia!
WOW what a totally cool thing for you to do!!!!!!! And the new "do" looks great!
You are now the 3rd person I know that has donated their long locks this summer!!
