You seem to be posting less these days :( I don't feel too lonely too often, thank goodness :)<br /><br />Pam: Hah! There were good and bad days. It tasted amazing, too!<br /><br />Claire: You didn't let me hold your hand! Heh heh heh :) Oh, don't worry about the arrangement, plenty more where that came from.<br /><br />Bridget: Whoa, thanks! I had a lot of problems making it look good I think :(<br /><br />Marc: OMG, I am SO going to tell L if I ever see her, ha ha ha! :)<br /><br />Jen: Omigosh, then you must be thankful I didn't get accepted there, hee hee :) (but then again others will think being in CO would be pretty lost for me too!)<br /><br />Elra: Hah! Thanks so much. I think I am pretty cheered up by now :)<br /><br />Y: YAY! I'm not sure I can bring *this* particular tart, but we'll work something out ;)<br /><br />Dawn: Aww, Dawn, you are so sweet. Anyway, I hope that day does come for me eventually :) Not sure if it's really about the yellow, but I wanted distinct fans :)<br /><br />Heather: I'm glad you liked it! It's one of my favorite books :)<br /><br />Ginny: Yes, and I was so glad you were there! Didn't freeze, thankfully, though my poor shoes suffered for it :) (psst... It's the *Two* Towers :)<br /><br />Helene: Hmm, I'm going to have to look that up, thanks! :) Sorry to hear that-- at least your sons are around every now and then :) Thank you so much, I'll be sure to look you up if ever I'm around!<br /><br />Susan: Gosh, don't get me started on Velveteen Rabbit. Tears!<br /><br />Kevin: Thank you! It did well to mellow the flavors :)<br /><br />Linda: Hee, ironically it takes a more mature mind doesn't it?<br /><br />Heather: Hmm, maybe it's time to watch it again :) Ooch! I guess that is partially true :/<br /><br />Kittymama: Hahaha! You know, you could be posting food pics too, I hear :)<br /><br />Nirmala: Don't worry, I had to download it so I could quote it-- I can't find my copy! Sometimes, I do like eating alone :)<br /><br />Meeta: Aww, you are sweet. Thanks so much for the hug :)<br /><br />Shari: Ah, I hope your little ones eventually get to read it too :)<br /><br />Ali: Oh, that's so nice of you to say! Gives me strength to blog some more :)<br /><br />Mandy: Hahaha, they only get a genuine dessert once in a blue moon?<br /><br />Graeme: Well, yeah, we are very different but that's what I love about you :)<br /><br />Brilynn: Hee! Quite impressive! What is essential is invisible to the eye, indeed.<br /><br />Joey: Maybe we ought to buy those commemorative editions... I hate going to the kids' section though. Oh come on, your desserts are always fab!<br /><br />Nikki: Yes you do! And it's much easier than cooking, I think, heh heh :)<br /><br />Sara, Maria: Thanks so much! :)<br /><br />Dr. Em: I was there the whole time! :) Well, now I'm back! Oh nooooo!!!<br /><br />Mikky: Hah! I don't think you will ever hear about them, unfortunately :)<br /><br />Deeba: Those are the BEST lines :) Hugs!<br /><br />Holly: Yay! I hope it induced a tear or two. I know I was a kid back then, but I would have loved to have chatted with you :) Sigh.<br /><br />Jude: Ha ha ha! Thanks!<br /><br />Helen: Hee, I guess it was kind of moot. I did miss everyone too!<br /><br />Jeanne: Romy and Michele is just full of secret awesomeness :) I am SOOOO going to use that folding scarves line if ever I see you. I hope we don't literally do it though :P<br /><br />Lo: Thanks! :)<br /><br />Syrie: I'm glad I've started this rereading movement, lol. Thanks!<br /><br />cooker girl: Hey, thank you so much! Refreshing :)<br /><br />Paula: It was ridiculously cold, but hey, I'll survive :) I'm sooo glad for RSS technology, heh heh :) Don't worry about the comments! It's always something to look forward to this way :) <br /><br />Cynthia: Oh noooo! Another pineapple hater :( <br /><br />Lori Lynn: Yeah, it was certainly unique!! :)<br /><br />Dr. Bone: Oh come on, I read everything! :) And they're not a *hundred*... Ha ha ha :)<br /><br />Bee: Oh, that's a great way of putting it! You're right in many ways :)<br /><br />Gigi: Yeah, it doesn't get quoted a lot, but it's sooo true. That hot water handwashing scene is freaky!<br /><br />Lemongrass: Hah! To many people, blogging *is* real life! I wonder where we stand?!<br /><br />Rob: Well, orange you glad you have something very pretty to look at, huh? :P I hope I get one of my own someday! :P<br /><br />Kate: Aack! Not *all* my time!

I'll keep checking your blog whether you post daily or monthly, and I'm certain others feel the same way. Sometimes I take a while to respond, usually because I like to think about what I've read plus I'd like to write more than just, "great recipe" or some such thing. :-) I liked your top 10 movie list; whenever I see a yellow post it note, I think about Romy and Michele. Your pineapple tart looks awesome! The condition of the pineapple doesn't but me at all; actually, it probably makes it easier to eat! I don't know if I've had pineapple and lime together before, but it sounds divine especially with that mascarpone!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421838192857136356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589144729472463179.post-69871571479236350312009-01-19T23:19:00.000-05:002009-01-19T23:19:00.000-05:00http://littlecookergirl.blogspot.com/2009/01/award...http://littlecookergirl.blogspot.com/2009/01/award-day-tuesday.html<BR/><BR/>AWARDING YOU THIS LEMONADE AWARD!:) love your blog!evil & demented little cooker girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14570272927252644492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589144729472463179.post-31331641728977306682009-01-19T22:47:00.000-05:002009-01-19T22:47:00.000-05:00I love the Little Prince but you've just inspired ...I love the Little Prince but you've just inspired me to read it again.

For years, my best friend and I would use the "let's fold some scarves!" line to express true fulfilment. As for The Divine Mr Cumming - is there another reason to see X-Men?? I saw him on stage in London as Dionysius last year, in a gold frock for most of the play. He was *born* for the role. And of course, how can we forget he was in Romy & Michelle too??<BR/><BR/>The tart looks wonderful, despite your misgivings about the pineapple not holding its shape :)Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325204219395014329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589144729472463179.post-63618698954875778862009-01-19T09:33:00.000-05:002009-01-19T09:33:00.000-05:00Yeah you're back!
