Enchanted April (1992)

( Movies )

No, this post isn’t about yours truly, it’s about a small film called
“Enchanted April” from the early 90s which has been a favorite of mine ever since it was given to me as a birthday gift. I hadn’t watched it in a few years but just revisted it this past weekend and [...]

Photos Added

( Pictures and Travel )

I’ve added a few photos of us and our recent trip to Hawaii. It’s only a handful but I’ll keeping working on it. Be sure to go on to our Flickr page to see more pics (the link is on “Photos” page also, next to the gnome).

Vienna Sausages and Rice

( Food )

What makes comfort food comforting? Does it have to be a childhood favorite or does our brain just have to associate it with less stressful times? I read that the trigger is chronic stress. I must be experiencing some latent stress now because although I know a big salad would be a [...]

Fancy Mini Design

I love my Mini Cooper S. It’s like driving a big go-cart especially around the curves.
We’ve christened it “Star Bug” from Red Dwarf fame so if I ever win the lottery and get a red Hummer, that can be the Red Dwarf itself. Of course, even if I get a vanity [...]

The Saga Ends

( Movies )

We saw “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” this weekend. We went with several friends, most of whom are also fans of the series so one would think we would spend the ensuing meal discussing the film and its merits. Unfortunately, no one had much to say in response to [...]

Pan Addiction?

( Food and Musings )

I need help. It’s true. I have an addiction to buying bundt cake pans. I do love to cook and bake cakes often but although I don’t really use my bundt pans more than a couple of times a month, whenever I see a new design I want it. My favorite [...]

iPod Backup

Just downloaded CopyPod to make a backup of the music on my iPod Photo and it’s great. It’s only for PCs alas but I would think there is an equivalent out there for Mac users (one of whom I hope to be again soon). This will be great especially if/when I send my [...]

For the Birds

( Musings and Pictures and Travel )

Although it’s a gorgeous day, I’d rather be in Hawaii. We usually are this time of year but we went a few months ago instead. The moment that keeps coming to mind is when we went paragliding off of Haleakala. It was amazing. I thought it would be terrifying as I [...]

Food fit for “The King”

( Food and Musings )

I missed the big Elvis made-for-tv movie yesterday which is a shame. Although I’ve never been a big fan, he’s always been a fascinating figure for me. I’m sure the name “Elvis” existed before Mr. Presley but for years to come, it will be singularly associated with one man.
Out of his [...]
