A Day Away From the Keyboard
So then, today I played hooky from writing, taking the day off as it were to go to the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park with my Sweetie, Ms L, along with her nephew and nephew's friend.

Tea Love, I has it.
Ever since my last trip to the UK (don't ask how long it's been) I've been looking for a proper tea that not only had some kick to it, but would remind me of the Scottish Highlands that I so dearly love.
I finally found it.

Zombie garden gnomes! on Etsy.
WANT! No, srsly, I do!
One of these suckers just might keep the damn racoons out of my yard...or not, but still, how can you not love this little guy.

It's Baking Day!
Okay. I know the mental image of Bear hulking around the kitchen with flour on her nose could make one shudder, but it's a tradition don't ya know.
Every year at this time I honor my Grandmother by baking her recipe for Panettone. Even though she's been gone for years now, this is my way of still communicating with her. Spooky much? Yeah...but I ( Read more... ) -
