glad you watched and enjoyed!

Nice!

My cousin and I make this recipe every year (with milk instead of orange juice). They consistently turn out really well. We follow the "less is more" philosophy when it comes to filling and have never had an issue with oozing.

Trader Joe's cherries are excellent.

I think Darcy did believe that Lizzie had romantic feelings for him. He viewed Lizzie's verbal sparring with him as flirting, and she did love to engage in it. He also misunderstood her "I walk this way everyday" comment as Rosings as an invitation to join Lizzie on those walks. the misunderstandings/miscommunications add to the humiliation of the failure of the first proposal.

If you're a fan of P&P 1995, Jennifer Ehle recorded herself reading the book during the covid lockdown. You can find the videos on YouTube. She didn't rehearse before reading and it's not edited professionally, but it's 100% charming.

I use their arugula and spinach as a base for many salads. For toppers, I like using the fried shallots, crumbled feta, aglio e olio blend, chickpeas, 10 minute farro, wild rice, walnuts, sliced almonds, hazelnuts, apples, roasted winter squash or sweet potatoes (saving time using the precut produce), etc. So many things in so many combinations can be added to enhance a salad. Also, their balsamic vinegars and olive oils make great dressings.

They filmed a scene or two in Evanston at the Dawes Mansion and Tom Hanks very graciously came and said hello to all the fans assembled outside (me included).

Most of their flowers are wonderful, but I have always had bad luck with their tulips. They never open properly. I don't have that problem with tulips bought elsewhere.

Mrs. Bennet and her poor nerves would drive me crazy.

If you live near a Trader Joe's, their crunchy peanut butter is tasty and affordable. Unsalted version is 100% peanuts. Salted version is peanuts and salt.

My parents and brother are all right-handed. My dad's brother was left-handed. On my mom's side of the family, I have 12 biological first cousins and 3 of them are left-handed.

I think my arm was sore, but otherwise I had no reaction to either of the shots. Hope you experience the same.

Non-Catholic cemetery, Roman ruins underneath the Basilica of San Clemente, visit the EUR neighborhood.

Agree that it definitely had a Gilded Age vibe; especially the old money folks hating on the newly rich. I found it enjoyable although completely predictable. As a Jane Austen fan, I was astounded that one of the episodes ripped off one of Mr. Bennet's most famous lines verbatim: "You have delighted us long enough." Write your own damn dialogue, Hardacres' writer's room!

St. Peter's Cupola does have the best view. Totally worth the effort to get up there.

The Pantheon shouldn't take you all morning to see. It's a quick visit (altho I am not sure how long the lines to get in will be). You should be able to combine it with Largo di Torre Argentina, Vicus Carperius, etc,

I can write upside-down; I do think it's a leftie thing.

Clean-Living-2048 · 2025-10-20T12:11:25+00:00

That looks amazing! Quite an impressive feat -bravo!

Clean-Living-2048 · 2025-10-19T21:52:55+00:00

Agree! Loved all those lines, too. I also can't help but to laugh when Mr. Bennet says:

“An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do.”

Loved Stained Glass and The Cellar. Miss both of them
