Something and something something

The other day I made a recipe I'd seen for Tomato and Basil Risotto. As you know may know, "tomato", "basil" and "risotto" are all pronounced differently if you're American than if you're English.

Pete really enjoyed the Tomahto and Bahsil Rissatto.

Wicked birthday


My handsome fiance surprised me with a really nice birthday dinner out and wonderful tickets to see Wicked!


The only
downside is I've had 'Defying Gravity' stuck in my head ever since. Tormenting me.























Check out this close-up of the pin was wore.

Surprise!











Pete and I thought we were going over our friends' house for dinner but surprise surprise, it was an engagement party for us, with friends from church. Really nice!

















Aw, we love all these people!



The last picture is Phil and Melinda, our host and hostess.

You've got to love London for places like this


Which I walked past the other day.


Beautiful London Sunday



Last weekend Pete and I went to Embankment (where Big Ben and the London Eye are) and got on a boat for a ride down the Thames to Richmond, with the ultimate destination of Richmond Park.








It was a gorgeous day, and a nice long boat ride.































.... and, finally there. Ahh.

The Fried Chicken Project

So. Welcome to the unveiling of this weird "project" I've been working on for several months. Most of these pictures were taken from London buses, and for every shot I have, I swear there were at least 3 that I missed.

I must admit, I love this.
