kesterly, Tiffany and I went to Southaven today to do some shopping. By way of Target (not), we suddently decided to drive all the way up to the Marcaroni Grill on Poplar (I'm slowly learning Memphis a little better).
I selected ingredients in my pasta: penne under roasted garlic alfredo topped with spinach, caramelized onions, mushrooms, and shrimp. Ganache-stuffed fried raviolis for dessert.

We realized that we both are in love with the 1992 version of
Last of the Mohicans both the movie and the soundtrack (It also has two of my favorite actors in it:
Daniel Day Lewis and
Steven Waddington).
It's an empty house tonight.
frolicswllamas is gone, dunno where.
alcamar is with

The Tipping Point. So I bought a second audio book titled
Four Queens: The Provencal Sisters Who Ruled Europe. I think I'll put my headphones and start working.
I'm also downloading several books from
