The birthday boy and his moment of fame

Happy Birthday to Dr. Moss. We were happy to celebrate his birthday and did so with one of those gorgeous fruit tarts from Pastiche Bakery on Federal Hill in Providence. We've had quite a few creations of theirs and they are always very fresh and delicious. This particular item was no exception. Well decorated with beautifully laid out fruit including mangos, berries and pineapple. It was almost a big tropical.

Not only was Dr. Moss celebrating his birthday but he is also enjoying his 15 minutes of fame! A report of his that describes the cost manifestations of treating people who intentionally swallow bizarre items has gone viral or as viral as anything scientific can go.  To check it out follow this link to view the video. Just don't swallow that fork Dr. Moss!
