....1.25...Dinner and a Movie...

...starting with some Blogger comments...because my blog has just been crazy the last couple of weeks...

...to my sweet sissie Karen who blogs from her boat at McCraw Sails...Hey K...your hikes look great...I love hiking in the wintertime because you can see things so much better...in the summer you're much more closed in...I felt bad for you staying in the airport overnight...I just thought it would have been so cold...crazy about seeing an actual working phone...great cardinal photo...and I loved the photo of you and Rob...Love, T...

...to karen from Pumpkin Sunrise...Hi Karen...your sister's Evergreen is going to be so pretty...and your snow is beautiful...

...to Éphée from L'éphémère quotidienneté des repas et autres trucs de magie...Hi Éphée...your lentil ragout looks delicious...such a nice combination of flavors...and those dogs...they will make their bed anywhere won't they...

...to Penny from Snap That Penny...Hi Penny...I loved seeing your city Christmas lights...it's so much driving or walking around with all the festive lights...

...to Beth from BLD IN MT : LIVING A SIMPLE LIFE IN THIS INTERCONNECTED WORLD...Hi Beth...your German inspired dinner looks great...

...I took a little break from Maupassant to read Diary of a Nobody because I'd never heard of it before...kind of like a comedy (and much shorter) version of Pepys' Diary...we were watching an interview with Patricia Rutledge on PBS and she mentioned that she and her costar Clive Smith were the principal characters in a stage version of it...it was pretty good...

...and then back to Maupassant...

The Fishing Hole
The Spasm
In the Wood

...dinner was a delicious one of the Man's creations...a greek inspired black olive and tomato pasta dish...

...and the movie was Black Narcissus...recommended by a friend...I'd never even heard of it before...it's about a group of nuns who set up a school in the Himalayan mountains...it's classed as a psychological drama...it is, of course, a movie about some people...I may circle back and read the 1939 book...

...what have you been watching lately?...

~Have a lovely weekend!
