Baldur, I tried your Manhatten Style Corn Chowder for dinner tonight. It was wonderful and made quite a big batch so we've got lots leftover to enjoy for lunches this week. I added a little more red pepper flakes than the recipe called for (actually they were crushed chilis but I think maybe they're the same thing) and the soup had a very nice bite to it. I suspect I also cut the onions bigger than you normally might have but I love to feel the onions when I eat them (does that make sense?). |

I'm also looking forward to trying Robin's bread pudding recipe. My fella is a great fan of bread pudding and I've never had a recipe for it. Also we're huge fans of spiced rum. If you're a rum lover you really must try Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum. It goes down very easily and is wonderful with coke and a slice of lime. Actually we've had people who are very much not rum fans tell us they liked this rum. It's quite difficult to find up here but I think it's more common down in the states. |

Baldur loved today's tool theme, I got to do a picture I'd had in the back of my head for ages. |

Just for the record, I am no HELPLESS damsel! I am a clever damsel in momentary distress, who has a few tricks up her sleeve! |

I can't say as I've seen a Flea Market around here. Maybe in Calgary. We have the Farmers Market every Sat morning in summer here. Aside from the veggie and baking stalls there is just about everything you could imagine from Alpaca fleece to handmade wooden furniture. There are a couple of stalls that sell used books and knick knacks but they always look to me like a bunch of junk from a garage sale. There is on stall that has some antique stuff which looks pretty nice but has never been my particular interest and it's mostly things like old mirrors and milk cans. |

Has Baldur ever mentioned that he loves beads? |
||
1376. 6 Aug 2009 17:32 | ||
I must admit to a certain love of beads as well. When I was a little girl, maybe 4 years old, my mom and I went to a store that sold stained glass making supplies. My mom was getting the flat panes for a project but there were plenty of bins filled with different coloured glass beads and I was fascinated by them. Imagine my mothers dismay when we got home (after a good 30 minute drive as the store was way across town) only to find her precious youngest child had stolen several handfuls of glass beads. We drove all the way back and my mother made me admit my crime to the clerk and give the beads back. It was a horrible, traumatic experience and I think every child should have this happen to them because it instill a deep loathing of theivery in me. I have never stolen more than a kiss since. |

It's still wonderful being a child and being able to do things like that without worrying about the consequences |

Robin is in a recipe mood again. This is a great summer recipe for chicken salad. I like it on croissants, or it's also great in a pita! |

Robin, I've made something very similar but added a little curry powder as well. Grapes in chicken salad are wonderful. |
