Dessert.

ita, that just takes me to the joy of cooking page. If you are cooking their lemon bars, though, yum. They have the best recipe I've found for the things.

Which is to say, we saw Constantine last night, and it wasn't that bad, despite the absurdity of Constantine having brown hair, wearing a black raincoat -- and being American.

But the list of all the desserts on the joy of baking site, right?

I'm not sure if I'll use their bar recipe. The Cook's Illustrated one is pretty good, and I'm not in an experimenting mood right yet.

I'm slowly going through my stuff, deciding what I either haven't used in a year or so¹, or haven't enjoyed using. Seems I like my stuff.

¹: Clothes are hella exempt from time limits -- enjoyment only.

Waiting for the washers to free up....

So Devi finally caught the mouse.

Amazingly, I did not wake up with it lying on the pillow next to me this morning.

No, she used her other toy trick.

It was floating in her waterdish this morning.

I love having to fish out soggy dead mice at 7 am.

Sara, I'd rather a soggy mouse than as a sleeping companion.

It must be the time of year because the mice in my walls have been very active lately, and my cats are spending a lot of time staring at the ceiling. I've been trreading carefully every morning because I know it's only a matter of time until a mousy carcass appears.

Spring in the air?

I think this one's arrival was a combination of snow, new bigger holes around my gas lines and someone moving in to the apartment below me. I hope it stays a fairly isolated event. There is a pretty pronounced mouse problem in the complex. However, I do not have a mouse problem, which I suspect is due to the presence of cats. I hope.

I want to go to The RioBelle Cupcake Cafe!

Will you have black-bottom cupcakes?

Last night I made a roasted chicken dinner with garlic mashed potatoes and corn, with fresh strawberry shortcake for dessert.

Bought myself a bunch of fresh daisies for the kitchen.

Also got half done with a script outline.

It was a good last week. Hope this week is just as happy-making. Please.

I think for me the key is that in certain hairstyles Tilda looks very much like a beardless Eric Stoltz. [link]
