Things that made me smile today
10. Getting carded at the grocery store.
9. The movie marquee in a scene from The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland:
Sharon Groan in
Basically it Stinks.
8. The large soft sign covering a new building going up in University Village. It reads: H & M.
7. A best-of Go-Go's music montage this morning on the radio. That was my minivan you heard thumping.
6. Reading about this incredible dinner. You wouldn't believe it if there weren't pictures as proof.
5. Moist roast duck (my first homemade attempt), creamed garlicky spinach, and fingerling potatoes baked under a drizzle of olive oil and coarse sea salt.
4. Arranging a cheerful bunch of sunflowers in a vase on the dining room table.
3. Discussing Rome with Robin. And watching Titus Pullo.
2. G eating around a strawberry, then giving me the white part inside and saying, "Here's the bone."
1. Watching G & H squeal in their glorious happiness.

Ahh, those are excellent. I am glad you enjoyed the food entry. The meal you made sounds incredible. I've never made duck.
"Here's the bone." That is genius.
Hehe, I love the strawberry one. All these years I've been eating it wrong.
I think I may have to put Rome on our blockbuster (or is it Netflix now?) cue. I need a new series to watch. The Tudors didn't do it for me.
Strawberry bones - cute :)
R - After we finished the duck, I noticed that my mom (who's here visiting), left open my Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking book to the Canard page. Had I read that useful chapter first, I would have cooked the duck 20 minutes less. Oh well, next time.
Lynch - Me too!
Bev - I'm not on the edge of my seat when I watch Rome, but it is historically interesting and they added enough sex to make up for thinking to hard.
Okay....why isn't getting carded your #1? I know, I know - kids squealing is pretty magnificent. But, carded? That's golden.
What a happy post. Simple and heartfelt, just what one needs every now and then. Love it.
