How did I NOT recognize Mark Gatiss (Mycroft in Sherlock) was John Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility (2008)? Maybe if I'd watched that version last night instead of 1995, I would have made the connection.

After yesterday's impromptu double Pride and Prejudice event, I realized we could have similar days with the following stories:
Sense and Sensibility

I'm cooking again, making this recipe, with a few modifications. I hope it tastes ok, since I'll be eating it for a few days. Oh, I love cooking.
