Nov. 7th, 2022 08:44 pmStill watching Great British Bake Off...they are attempting to make smores..except the British version of smores apparently is two digestive biscuits, with chocolate ganach (glaze), and a big Marshmellow between them.
No. No. No. I'm laughing at them.
This is a s'more:
( Read more... )
Took today off - because tomorrow is a election day (which my union and by association crazy org gets off). Then I found out over the weekend that my cousin's funeral is Friday. I can't go. I get take any more time off work at the moment. Even if I could reschedule my Thanksgiving vacation time to go - I'd be more trouble than I'm worth, I can't drive, and I'd be dependent on someone else taking me everywhere. I can't reschedule it though - I'm needed at work the next few days.
Also, it was short notice - and unlike what we did with my Dad, designed to ensure few attendees. If you give short notice for a big event to family and friends who live across the country - you don't want them all to attend or feel the need to.
I'm glad I took today off - I wasn't feeling well. So did nothing but watch television and relax. ( messy health issues )
Also caught up on Miss Scarlet and the Duke - which is a fun little mystery series on PBS, via BBC. The Duke is hot, and I like Miss Scarlet.
And..Interview with a Vampire on AMC, which is a lot better than the film adaptation. I love the casting, in particular Louis, who works very well. The story, weirdly, works better with a Black Gay Male character in the role of Louis. It makes more sense, and changes the story a bit. Lestat's casting is better here as well - since he's more French, and is believable - as a vampire from 16th Century or 15th century France. The accent is perfect, as are the mannerisms.
Also, they are doing a good job of exploring the racial injustices, which both Lestate and the Interviewer don't quite understand. Eric Borganson as the interviewer is inspired.
I'm loving the series - it has far more layers than the books did, or for that matter the film ever did.
