I have a couple of hours to write before my brother comes over to play Scrabble.

Oooo, a Scrabble-playing brother. Lucky you.
He won again.
That made me wonder whether the accent marks are ignored or not in French Scrabble, and it seems they are, but in Francophone Scrabble the letter distribution is different to account for the relative distribution of the letters in the language.
Ah, but the e's still have the edge.
it's interesting that the Q is only worth 8 instead of 10. Maybe because Q is used more in French

Took me a second, but now I see it. 
I decided to try some Red Leicester cheese, instead of Jarlsberg or cheddar (which I normally get). I've never had it before, but I looked it up, and it sounded nice, so why not?
And ... um. It was so good. I was blown away by how delicious it was.
Crumbly like Cheddar, but earthy and nutty, with sweet and almost citrusy tones. Yum! I think I might have a new "favourite thing". 
Anyway. Sorry to waste board space about my little discovery, but yeah. Red Leicester is great. I had to stop myself from eating it all in one sitting. In the end, I had just two little pieces, which probably meant I put on half a kilo. =P It's nearly lunchtime here, so I'll try toasting it on sourdough bread, with some Dijon mustard, with seasonal fruit (mandarins and strawberries) for dessert, and maybe a little fat-free yoghurt. Mmm ... =P

I recently brought home some Red Leicester cheese for my cheese-loving husband. He thinks it's fine stuff and bought more. It tasted so nasty to me that I couldn't swallow the nibble I took. Would be interesting to know what causes such equal and opposite reactions to taste.
I like Red Leicester very much. But to obtain it here in the States, I have to be of a mood and capability to splash out a bit. Not at the moment, I'm afraid.I decided to try some Red Leicester cheese, instead of Jarlsberg or cheddar (which I normally get).

I've been watching the 1995 BBC production of Persuasion. A great hiraeth came over me--- that, oh, might I live for always in a house like Charles and Mary Musgrove's at Uppercross.
But that's foolish. I have a quite nice little house of my own. It's only 109 years old, but it has its own charms, and it's up to me to bring life and history to it.

Me, I tend to find it at the fancier grocery stores.
I go through a lot of Feta. Put it in every salad. Sometimes I'll just have a bowl of tomato and Feta.
It rained heavily this morning after a few days of good weather. Two of the "dogs" slammed the brakes as the reached the back door, the third "dog" didn't even make it that far, skulking around the hallway. Not one of them could look me in the eye as I tried to remind them that they are still dogs, after all.
No rain this weekend here. It's going to be a lovely weekend, mostly sunny and 26-28 C
My soda bread is just about done, flipped to make sure the bottom is baked right through.
