Pride and Prejudice Book Scarf by storiarts on Etsy – I like this.

Breakfast: Black coffee (was still full from all the meat the night before!)
Lunch: Cranberry-walnut chicken salad on baby cos lettuce (using my own homemade macadamia oil paleo mayo)
Dinner: Sweet potato and spinach curry

Breakfast: Leftover lamb and zucchini
Lunch: Curried broccoli soup
Dinner: so much good stuff at LP’s Quality Meats: smoked veal, boudin, lamb belly stuffed with merguez sausage, beetroot, and bowl of pickles.

Breakfast: Leftover steak, okra, and pumpkin; black coffee
Lunch: Grilled fish and beef, green beans, salad
Dinner: Herb-crusted lamb skewers with Dijon, grilled zucchini, salad

For the lamb, I couldn’t be bothered actually getting out the skewers. I used my ridged grill pan on the stove to grill the eggplant, and then I just chucked all the lamb bits on that afterwards. Worked great.

Can there be a real chiptune version of the soundtrack, please? Because I would buy that.

WHAT SHOULD WE CALL STAGE MANAGEMENT – I am amused that I still get all of these. Damn. Sometimes I miss calling a show.

I Played The New “Princess Bride” Video Game So You Wouldn’t Have To | Kotaku Australia – Huh. So there’s a new Princess Bride game available for iOS. It doesn’t sound very good though.

What is good is As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride. We listened to the audiobook on the way to and from Rodd’s parents’ house at Christmas. Cary Elwes reads the book and it features actual soundbites from a great many people in the cast. We loved it. It sounds like everyone on it had a wonderful time. They talk about Andre the Giant a LOT, and what a great guy he was. It’s so sweet when Robin Wright talks about how dashing Cary was, and it’s obvious they were both smitten from day one. It’s just a lovely, lovely book, and if you like the movie, you should read or listen to it.

The only problem: it made me really excited to re-watch the movie, so we did as soon as we got home. And man, I hadn’t seen it in a long time… some of the effects are a lot worse than I remembered. I think as a kid you gloss over that part. So I’m warning you, if you haven’t watched it in a while, you might be surprised in a not-great way.
