Sassy Tortuga's Hot Date

ZOMG. Prince Caspian comes out tomorrow, and shameless Narnia fan that I am...I'm so there. That lovely man of mine is actually willing to sit through two hours of me acting like a kid at Christmas, clapping and trying not to squeal and going "ooh, this is the part where Aslan shows up! With the voice of Liam Neeson! OMG so awesome."

But first, if the Hungry Chilli's weird hours allow, we're gonna get us some damn fine Szechuan food, maybe some tangy eggplant and hot numbing tofu. *coo!*

A feast for the eyeballs

Okay, my travel blog, viscountesslucy.wordpress.com is now up and running. What's up with the name? You'll just have to go and see!

One week to liftoff...

Cornish-English-Japanese phrasebook - you know, just in case.

Seeking more suggestions

I take off on my epic pan-Canadian Road Trip a week from Wednesday, and I'd like to have a separate travel blog for it. Any ideas for a clever and charming title for said blog? Also, do you have a recommended hosting service? Not that there's anything wrong with Blogger, but I'd like to expand my horizons. I'm thinking maybe Wordpress, which give you the option of including an actual calendar as a sidebar. Your thoughts?

Totally on a roll with the food posts. What can I say? Winter is a long time to go without tender leafy greens. Sometimes you really just need a good leafy salad...and kale's great cooked, but I just CANNOT get into it raw.



In my fridge right now I have spinach, mizuna, arugula, dandelion, sorrel and beet greens. Imagine all the salad-y possibilities!

Another great quote, this one from George Carlin:

"It's called the American Dream because you've got to be asleep to believe it."

And now for something completely different.

Prettiest vibe EVER. You could totally hide that baby in a handbag for fancy parties or leave it out in plain sight when your Mom comes to visit, and nobody would be the wiser. Only thing is that it's made of plastic. Violet Blue says hard plastic is okay, but when it comes to toys I don't know if I can see myself upaying $75 for anything other than silicone. But that's just me. And it is awful pretty.
