Oh, muffins... where have you been all my life? I'm on a real muffin kick at the moment, if I'd known how flamin' simple they are, I'd have started makin' the darn things sooner. Well, maybe. We all know that I'm a woman who just loves to make life hard for herself. But still. The sentiment is there.
So the puppies that I've just made are cream cheese, smoked salmon and chive mini-muffins. How hoity-toity can you get? Yes, they are pretty ritzy, but honestly, someone who had mislaid some of their mental picnic could make these without much bother. There are only two pitfalls with these muffins - they are a tad on the expensive side to make (though if you get the smoked salmon pieces, you know, the ripped up shready stuff, it's not too bad), and they are almost irresistable; but resist! I implore you! Take it from one who knows, all you will end up with is a burnt roof-of-the-mouth and a broken heart. Well, maybe not that last one.
Um, in other news, Mark Lanegan is in town tonight, which I totally wish that I could go to, but being the Nana that I am, one thing per night is about my limit. The muffins are coming with me to a farewell shindig for a work buddy of mine tonight. In order to not cause too much kerfuffle for people, its one of those 'clear out your booze cabinet' type affairs - everyone brings the mysterious bottles that lurk in the back of the cabinet with a centimeter or so of liquid at the bottom and we make them into glorious cocktails. At least, that is the idea. Getting back to the original topic, if you don't know who Mark Lanegan is, you need to go to the Library (or the indie record store, or itunes if you must) and get the Screaming Trees album Dust. It is an amazing album, and I'm sure that you'll love it. What am I saying, I don't know if you'll love it, but it's always good to listen to some new shit once in a while.
In reading news, I'm currently munching my way through the Sookie Stackhouse books (so good, and thanks Book Depository for sending me the version of Dead to the World with the glorious Alexander Skarsgard on the cover, when it was listed on the site as being 'sold out'... muahaha! He's the dude who plays Eric, by the by). I specifically have been avoiding the TrueBlood endorsed versions of these books, but in this case, I'll make an exception. I also recently finished Just Kids which is by Patti Smith about her relationship with Robert Mapplethorp. It's seriously fascinating, and quite amazing how a chance meeting could influence both artists in such profound ways.
Right, must away... be good, y'all.

Ok, as usual I haven't listened to this band that you have mentioned. I'll youtube it. i watched the movie, the jane austen book club (soppy girly goodness) and totally felt the need to read more austen. So I put a hold on that one with zombies in it. Jane please don't hate me. I'll make up for it by reading persuasion or something.
Miss you xxox
Do you want a pendant, full on collar, choker, earrings or bracelet?? In black obviously (but any other colour is totally doable) I'm tatting up a storm and think you would like it let me know what sort of accessory you would like and I'll figure out a design that would suit.
Wowzer, that's so impressive! Ooh, may I please have a collar? That's so exciting, thank you so much!
Oh god, I saw that stupid Book Club movie, just the last half. It truly was girlie, so much so that I had to go have a shower afterwards... felt like I was covered in sugar and spice and all things nice. I've got PPZ if you want to borrow it... let me know if the library copy falls through. Oh yesh, I've got that Sabriel book for...someone... you left it here when you were down last, and I was going to send it to someone, but I forget who. Can you email me the address please? Tah-zies.
