@hamilton,
I'll have to find a way to post her nautilus here as well. Her mother recently knit her a Dalek. Crazy family.


My big big big smile.

Just discovered that one of the my favourite photographers/Abuzzers/A2kers will be back in town in about 10 days. Algis Kemezys !!! woooo hooo. Can't wait to see him again. It's been at least six years and he's crazy fun.

Byron is releasing the third edition of his Thai cookbook and he's going to also be guest- cooking in one of best local Greek eateries for a bit over a week.

Special horta-pie with kasseri;
steamed zucchini and broccoli with lemon-dill dressing;
two-way calamari (grilled/cold and hot/fried);
oven-baked baby Ontario lamb with kidney beans;
roast duck-leg with cabbage and apples;
grilled mackerel with pomegranate sauce;
eggplant Begendi with octopus;
grilled scallops with blackberry sauce;
chocolate-hazelnut baklava;
almond torte with berry-coulis;
wine-poached pear with melted chocolate

Algis Kemezys! Surprised
What a blast from the past, ehBeth!
I loved his posts.
Please say hello from me, though I doubt he's remember who I am.
But I certainly remember him! Smile

A "Dr. Who" Dalek?

@izzythepush,
Is that sarcasm? I didn't know if the Dr Who daleks were named for some other real-life thing.

@littlek,
The story goes that they were named from an encyclopaedia volume, Dal-Lek.

@izzythepush,
Ha! That's funny. I can just see the writers/creators looking around the room for inspiration....

@ehBeth,
Oddly, I recently saw the name Algis Kemezys at the bottom of an a2k page - presumeably and advertisement. When I went back to the same page, he was gone.

Dads with babies in Snuglis. Babies make me smile in general, and moms with babies in Snuglis would make me smile too. But it seems like there are a lot of dads with babies in Snuglis these days, and they're very smile-inducing.

@littlek,
Yes - a Dr. Who dalek. Now she's working on a Dalek hat - trying to figure out how to keep it upright while it's being worn. It's a family of crazy knitters.

@ehBeth,
OMG, I totally want a dalek hat!

I sat at the edge of my parents' small back yard pond to watch the bullfrog this am. I was determined to see him catch some food. Instead, I spied a smaller green frog sneaking up on a huge black fly. He crept through water and over lily pads only to jump as the fly flew away.

I canceled a doctor's appointment today. Some days I just can't deal with it.

I feel like I'm playing hookey. That makes me smile.

@Letty,
That was a good memory. FreemanBenson was from the Philippines, and I seem to recall she was just starting at the university at the time.

@Walter Hinteler,
Wonderful, Walter. Tell me about the decorative bits on the facade - at first I thought maybe they were vegetative and then I figured ornate decoration.
