Did you know that you can control the direction the WordPress snow falls with your mouse?  I just noticed this today (duh). And speaking of snowflakes – don’t look Silverstar! – here is an oldie-but-goodie pastime. Hours of mindless fun for the whole family, and also quite good for trying out new snowflake designs before actually putting scissors to paper.

Sautéed sprouts with pancetta & pine nuts.

Don’t these look fabulous? (click on image to enlarge) They were prepared by the lovely and talented Wandering Coyote as part of a sumptuous solstice feast. You can check out the entire dinner menu on  Retorte , WC’s  blog of culinery delights (warning: do not go there when hungry).

For those of you who (like Nog) would rather stick hot pins in your eyes than eat a sprout, knock yourselves out with these…

What the hell is going on with Lexulous?

There’s a notice that changes are being made, but if so, then why not just shut down for a few hours? Right now I’ve got a game with B’Elana in which she has a different looking board than I do.  And in other games I’m not getting the right amount added to my score – a 20 point word gave me 10 points and I only got 25 for a 35 point word.  Plus there is one game in which I have 8 tiles. WTF?

May I suggest to my Lexulous pals that we wait until all of these changes have been made and then start new games? Boy, I hope they have this fixed by the weekend, since I won’t be going to Málaga…
