Last week was the annual Scone Marathon, wherein I make up to a half dozen batches of scones in various flavors, most of which go to the office Holiday Potluck - for a couple hours of time and relatively minimal ingredients, I get to eat lots of other people's food. Wh00t!  But in the process of getting ready to cook, I took a clean-up tour through ( Read more... )

Last night was a visit to a new (to us) Indian restaurant. Quite tasty! I even managed to get past my cilantro thing and find a truly Yum! dish. I find that I'm not a huge fan of minced lamb as the Indians prepare it - don't hate it, just not a huge fan. On the other hand, I can eat vegetarian quite cheerfully.

Well, the sucking-rocks part was wholly work related, and entirely my own stupid fault, so the main reason I don't want ( Read more... )

Oh, and look! New theme!

It's just the page theme, for now. I'll have to play with details later, but I just couldn't resist cute fox writing. Next stop: Text style.
