Earlier this year, I switched from Bloglines to Google Reader, and so didn't notice until yesterday when I happened to be at Bloglines that my feed isn't working properly there...from what I can tell, any post that doesn't include an image is displaying the post title only, with no excerpt.

Third Shift in Las Vegas does Clafoutis
Nothing to do with perfume, and I’m not sure if this is meant to help Kevin or taunt him (if you missed his clafoutis tale, go here), but Third Shift in Las Vegas made a lovely peach (I think it is peach?) clafoutis, and then in a nod to recent perfumery trends, an apparently disgusting lychee clafoutis…
