Burrell: they are the Nepal and Bhutan sets here: [link] I don't have any more to add.

A weird hoax - the last sentence is the best part!

A Fortsas Hoax of 1840

I love a good hoax, and this one seems particularly well done: essentially, Renier Hubert Ghislain Chalon, a historian, researched the sorts of books that Europe's most noted book collectors would find irresistible. He then made up a Count, Jean Nepomucene Auguste Pichauld, Comte de Fortsas, who had a book collection of only one-of-a-kind books. If another was found of any book, the Count would burn it, insuring he held the only known copy. Each of the 52 books listed in the catalog was specifically designed to appeal to a particular collector.

The eager collectors were instructed to arrive in the Belgian town of Binche for the auction, where they were all roundly zinged. They all descended on the town, a long, difficult journey for many of them, only to find that the town had decided to buy the incredible collection for their library. Only none of the locals knew about the count, the books, or even their town having a library. All the noted collectors, many of whom bore heated rivalries with one another, had all been led on a wild goose chase, and were now crammed, fuming, in the local tavern. Eat it, mid 19th-century noted rare book collectors!

Potatoes tossed with olive oil, garlic and fresh rosemary are now in the oven.

Feh. I always forget how much collards cook down. Dinner still smells delish though. (Collards sauteed with canellini beans and kielbasa.) But I think I'm going to need a side dish. Hmm.

We had homemade pulled pork with BBQ sauce, corn on the cob, Caesar salad, and macaroni salad. Very yum, especially after an afternoon at the beach.

For an ocean girl, I do like Lake Ontario.

I just caught the end of Mamma Mia! I really never need to see Pierce and Colin in shiny spandex, ever again.

A Fortsas Hoax of 1840

Heh. I'd read that Leverage AU, but they'd probably have to work in a rare book collector who is oppressing someone with cute children.

I made an enormous spinach salad with tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber, onion, alfalfa sprouts, edamame, garbanzo beans, and hard boiled eggs.

we had leftover Subway sandwiches - bleagh. But, I didn't have to cook, or clean up.

Yum. Note to self: more greens, less beans. But damn was that good. And now I've got that lingering burny sensation from all the hot pepper I put in. Nom.
