Spice of life

Charging charging charging... phone, camera, toothbrush. Off to Dublin tomorrow, for my second Christmas celebration of the year :-)

The pub quiz finale was a tense affair, and although our only success was in the raffle department, it was good craic. Highlight for all was during the movie theme music round: the pub door opened to the opening strains of The Godfather. "Here he comes!" someone called out. And sure enough, a local godfatherly-type figure entered slowly, and made his way through the pub, smiling benevolently upon us in our helpless laughter.

My popcorn maker died a few weeks back, and I am really feeling it this week. To tide me over, I prepared a vat of spicey pumpkin & sunflower seeds: plenty o'chilli, sprinkle of cayenne, salt & pepper. Kind of addictive, as it turns out. But bursting with protein, magnesium, B-vitamins - all kinds of good things.

Still miss popcorn though. This weekend...

Speaking of which, have a great weekend folks :-)
