Coming Soon On FBC!

Hello everybody,

first of all apologies for the light posting since March, as I was saying 2 car accidents in 2 weeks have been taking their toll and what with the doctor visits, finding a lawyer, my car not being repaired yet and all that, I'm not very able and fit these days. A bit better, but my back still hurts and my right shoulder/arm too, so typing and being in front of the computer are uneasy at best. Mostly I get exhausted incredibly fast, and I can't go anywhere (see car still at the shop) so my art sightings-and-writing are down to zero these days.

BUT I am very pleased to announce that in the next few weeks FBC! will have a new collaborator who's going to post some short fiction in this very space, and maybe sent in a few photos too. We're still ironing out a few things but very soon you will have the pleasure of discovering a brand new writer here. To celebrate this new upcoming collaboration, I'm posting a picture of a cake recipe I invented (with chestnut flour and cocoa powder) and also to mark my B-Day a little bit (it was Wednesday, if you really want to know) since I couldn't do much.

So stay tuned, and very soon you will be able to read quality fiction here! I'm so excited!

Bon Anniversaire Thomas! and Devi and Wendy...

There have been many saddening news recently around me, friends in distress, the passing of the old and the young alike that I would like to cheer up my readership a little bit.
Which now includes my little bro', Thomas. Welcome! I have fond memories of you and I as kids having decadent breakfasts of ice cream, Reddi-Whip, chocolate sauce and toasted sliced almond, of dragging you to your first concert, the magnificent mechanical devices you were building out of Legos, and most recently our joint imitations of Pope John Paul II. We share atrocious singing voices and a same fondness for terrible duets and covers of cheezy French songs, such as Les Neiges du Kilimandjaro. Beware, US readership! Don't try to YouTube or iTunes that one, it is lethal!
Today is Thomas B-Day and in his honor I'm pasting a pic of his food of choice, Nutella. One of the few things that makes me smugly feel the superiority of Old Europe over the US. Peanut Butter? Pfff!
Anyway, not only my beloved little bro is adding one more year today, but so are my good friends Wendy and Devi!
Happy B-Day everyone! Love you, little bro!
