I hope y'all are still enjoying the stories!

Saw this on LJ, too!

Hi everyone!

I've had a fantastic "birthday week"!

First of all, I'd like to thank all my online friends for the good wishes and greetings! Kaylee Arafinwiel wrote me an adorable story; she sent it to me in a private email, but as soon as she archives it, I'll post a link. I had lovely e-cards from lindahoyland, pearltook1, rhapsody11, and mumstheword. And I can't forget all the LJ birthday greetings from ellynn_ithilwen,shirebound febobe, mews1945, claudia603, cairistiona7, lilybaggins,harrowcatliz, ramblin_rosie, lily_the_hobbit, addie71, pandemonium_213, gamgeefest and i_o_r_h_a_e_l. I hope I have found everyone after scrolling back through the last 6 days; if I missed you please, thank you anyhow.

And I also had lots of nice Facebook birthday wishes from some of my SCA friends in Seleone, and from some of my kinfolk! More neat stuff behind the cut: ( Read more... )
Again, to all my LJ friends: ((((((squishy hugs and thanks)))))!!

The Jimmy Stewart version of Destry Rides Again is immensely better than the Audie Murphy version, mainly due to the incomparable Marlene Dietrich.

Just thought I'd say that.

A little late, but still under the wire in my time zone, here is my birthday mathom for all of you:

Almost all of Bilbo's guests at his sixtieth birthday party have gone, but one good friend remains to talk...

Today's harvest: eggplant, more cukes, and a few more green beans.



Yesterday four small beets and some more green beans. I forgot to take their picture.

I made eggplant lasagna for supper: substituting eggplant for the noodles, I peeled and sliced them about 1/4" thick, brushed a little olive oil on both sides and baked them about ten minutes. Then I layered the eggplant with my tomato sauce and the cheese (had to sub cottage cheese for riccotta) mixture, and topped off with grated mozarella. I also roasted the beets in aluminum foil for about 30 minutes, and then grated them onto our salads, topped with raspberry vinaigrette dressing.

I still have two eggplants left, and have accumulated about a half-mess of beans. And I am fairly certain I'll be making pickles next week with all those cukes!

The DH and I went to the matinee today to see Brave and I have to say it was adorable. Merida is easily the best of the "modern" crop of Disney princesses!

ETA Brave spoiler in the comments. There's "spoiler space" though.
