So, what is your alternate universe self doing right now?
Mine is probably living in New York, married to Al Pacino and running a contemporary dance company. And of course she is cancer free.

Saw this at Raincoaster’s and nearly laughed my head off.
The amazing Trololo cat.
What’s made you laugh today?

Here we go again…
And no, they are not copying the KKK … it’s the other way round. Though to date nobody has ever been able to tell me the origins of these penitent costumes, other than to say that it would be immodest for a penitent to show their face. So okay, that explains the hood, but not the pointy hat thang.
Yesterday was the beginning of Semana Santa – Palm Sunday. People thronged to Sevilla from the suburbs and villages all decked out in their best Palm Sunday attire. My eyes! I took a few pics but decided it would be too cruel to post them. And now for the next seven days I shall be a prisoner in my apartment (stone’s throw from the Cathedral). Seriously no way of getting out my front door most of the time. What fun!

These are all the cookbooks I have ever owned in my life. And three of them came to me as gifts in the past month! Weird. That old beat up Joy of Cooking I’ve had since I was maybe 18 years old. Which was also when I started my own handwritten cookbook of favourite things I came across … and then more than fifteen years of personal selections were lost when that book went missing somewhere between Toronto and Europe. Damn! The Joy of Cooking made it though, for reasons that escape me – I would have much preferred to have the book I’d written. And then on my first birthday in Seville I was given Cooking in Spain by Janet Mendel, which became my bible for Spanish cooking.
Fast forward to March 2010 …

Today’s Photohunt theme is “fresh”.
And here we have some freshly baked kittens! Just a few hours old.
You can see them “even fresher” below the links,
but don’t click if you are overly squeamish…
