Jilli, I just bought the cards without realizing it was the only set. Send me your email and I'll mail them to you.
Aww, that's sweet, but don't worry about it. I'll just keep an eye on the shop and see if she lists another set.
I think there would need to be some sort of savory nibbly thing for a Night Circus party, but I don't know what. Little cheese biscuits with red pepper?
Or tiny yorkshire puddings? It's hard to think of black and white food.
Pasta salad with striped bowtie pasta? [link]
One of my friends made me a birthday dinner with that pasta (before the dreaded gluten-free thing came up). Yummy AND appropriate for my color scheme!
Can one fall in love with a pasta? I think I am in love with that pasta. Or at least a serious crush.

Yes. Because I fell in love with that pasta. It's one of the reasons I'm hoping I can eventually eat gluten again.

That made me do Wallace flaily hands!
Dangit, Jilli, now I have to make pasta for lunch!
(Mushrooms sauteed in butter, olive oil, garlic and Vermouth, adding and heating up a little leftover roasted chicken, tossed with rigatoni and baby spinach with hot pepper flakes. Little Parmesan.)
Whoo, I should not have typed "The Night Circus" into eBay on a whim. No way I can afford it, but a tempting, tempting auction: [link]
Any suggestions for a 12-year-old girl who has liked
The Hunger Games, The Mysterious Benedict Society, Incarceron,
and
Miss Peregrine's Home
among others? She especially likes things with puzzles and/or math. Her parents are conservative but fairly tolerant about what she reads, but I wouldn't want to recommend anything on the sexy end of things.
