Happy Thanksgiving! and various sundries
Happy Thanksgiving for my fellow Americans! This has not been a month to inspire much spontaneous gratitude - hell, it hasn't been much of a year for inspiring gratitude - but we did have a very nice duck for dinner, and I have at last discovered a recipe that fills the hole in my heart left by the grocery store that discontinued its peanut butter chip chocolate muffin lo these many years ago, so those are two things to be thankful for I suppose.
I haven't gotten very far in The Count of Monte Cristo this week, but I did find out that the telegraphist who the Count coerced/bribed into sending a false telegraph escaped ahead of prosecution, so phew. I was worried about the poor guy.
In other news, PBS is showing a new movie version of Anne of Green Gables tonight! With Martin Sheen as Matthew, which is either terrible or brilliant, depending on whether I can resist shouting "OMG IT'S PRESIDENT BARTLET" at the screen. We'll see!
