Here's the dip all ready to be baked for tomorrow's lunch break. I'll get more pictures at the theatre tomorrow. Ready to pour: Waiting to be baked: The lemonade with the added navel orange tastes great, too! Unfortunately, I spilled some when I was pouring it into my beverage container I take with me for the theatre, but I think there's more than enough for tomorrow. On a side note, I moved my house plants back inside today, save for three Thanksgiving Cacti and my Christmas Cactus. My Meyer Lemon tree is opening it's first buds, and two Hoyas of mine started blooming yesterday, too. The fragrance is amazing from the Hoyas :-). Brad AKA Moonwolf

dcarch, There will be plenty of cake to share and I may have some slices to take home with me, too. I know those peach cookies I made before had pecans in them and they were loved by everyone. Annie, LOL I used to eat bananas when I was little, and I still enjoy the flavor of banana. You're more than welcome to have a slice or two. Brad AKA Moonwolf

Minnie, I agree with you about the Forsyte Saga the older version, despite being in b and w and 'studio bound' was a much better production. The long story needed the many episodes to help develop the characters and slowly moving 'plot'. Mary re. Lewis GG. You mentioned him some while ago here. As I had never heard of him I looked him up and found his work is not generally known in England. Maybe Sunset Song was made for Scottish TV. For all you Jane Austen fans you probably know that Becoming Jane a film of a short period of her life comes out over here on the 7th March. Austen purists will probably disagree with the storyline that she was in love with a young trainee lawyer Tom Lefoy but the romance came to nothing. It should be a very pretty film, most of the location shots had to be done in Ireland because Hampshire (JA's county) has become too modern and lacking in bucolic charm. Ann Hathaway and James McAvoy play the leads and her sister Cassandra is played by Anna Maxwell-Martin who did so well in Bleak House and is now appearing in black leather as Sally Bowles on the London stage. And Frieda if you didn't see Bleak House add it to your order, a few more $$$'s wont make much difference. It was the best drama series I have ever seen.
