Whoops! I forgot a title!

Today is one of those days when you wish you could curl up in front of the fireplace in warm jammies and drink hot cocoa and watch movies all day long. It is cold and grey (only 46 F at the moment.)

*************************************

Possible spoilers---

National Treasure was awesome! Even though Nick Cage isn't my favoritest actor in the world, he did a good job bringing intensity to his character. I do want to know who decided that every single movie has to have some sort of love story though, because this one just didn't fit. It seemed like it was thrown in afterwords because, well, what kind of movie doesn't have a love story? Sheesh! This kind! Also, I didn't like the end because technically, the only people who would exchange artifacts of that nature for cash are private collectors and insurance people. It just didn't click for me, but was a nice ending overall.

*****************************************

How come the movies that came out over the summer were all bad, and now there is an influx of things that I want to see? My personal list: Finding Neverland, Bridget Jones, the Incredibles, Ocean's 12, A very long engagement, Alexander, Closer...

*****************************************

I made my pumpkin/cheesecake and it turned out really good, but since it is no-bake,it didn't set completely and should be better defined as a pumpkin/cheesecake/pudding/crumble. It tastes great though.
Anyone looking for a twist this holiday season - add half of a block of creamcheese to your coolwhip or whipping cream.

Also, a few weeks ago, Jason and I went to a class that supposedly teaches how to pair cheeses with other food items for a holiday cheese plate. So, yesterday, we decided to try one of the pairings for a mexican cheese called manchego. (Hard cheese, tastes like a salty parmesan, but without the bite) The pairing calls for a guava puree, the stuff that makes gel, and sugar. Well, no guava puree here, so we used the frozen concentrate juice. And, it is sitting in our refrigerator ...not gelled at all. So, today I'm going to pour it back into the pot, add more gel stuff, and see what happens. Anyone know the ration of gel stuff to liquid you are supposed to use?

******************************************

Yesterday around 6 or 7, I noticed that my eyes felt swollen. Naturally, I thought it was an effect of the wine we were having with dinner, so I didn't put much thought into it, but when I got ready for bed, I noticed that my eyes were really swollen and this morning, they still are puffy. I'm hoping it is just from the wierd temperature changes/pollen changes, but if i'm still puffy tomorrow, I might just have to talk with my doctor.

No picture today - Look for a new camera phone pic tomorrow!
