You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

You serve him what you have, and if he gets all beer snob on you, you tell him, "Bring your own if you're that picky, dude".

Naw, he's not picky. I just like giving people what they like.

Perfect, Nora, thank you.

Connie, lots of markets sell Indian sauces now in the international aisle if you wanted to just add the meat and/or veg. I think our Trader Joes has both frozen and fresh naan; I've never tried either. Indian food is one of the few post-pregnancy cravings I haven't been able to have yet. I must fix that soon.

It's okay. Not like the real thing, but not bad.

I am back from my trip. It was all too short, packed with so much, and a great time. I arrived home yesterday, but I was a jetlagged zombie after 10 hours of travelling.

Highlights were definitely seeing The Oresteia on the West End. Hamlet was okay...Cumberbatch was great, the set was amazing, but the play had some holes. The Bakkhai, despite having Ben Whishaw and Bertie Carvel was NOT GOOD. I also loved going to Hampstead Heath and Keats House, The Wallace Collection, getting to see a Downton Abbey preview of the first ep, plus a q & a with Lady Edith, Isobel, the costume designer and one of the producers.

And Dublin remains my happy place. Also, I touched a mummy's finger! It was so weird.

Sounds like a great trip, Sue!
