Two observations:

1. Now that it's cold, I basically want to eat nothing but bacon, pesto, curry chicken and lamb shanks in red wine. Fat craving much?

(I am, as I type this, munching on a big bowl of pesto with penne, topped with THREE SLICES OF BACON. Eating like me is not for the faint hearted or small-arteried.)

2. Listening to the Berlin Philharmonic play a Beethoven symphony back in Karajan's heyday is like driving a BMW sedan in perfect condition. There's so much effortless power and smooth handling that you come to take it for granted--you kind of forget that the experience could be/should be any other way, and you settle in and get really comfortable, but then you get to some zippy, tricky bits and you're all "HOT DAMN THIS IS FUN."

Yay for winter fat! Last night I made a HUGE batch of pesto and I've been having bacon with my breakfast everyday for the past couple weeks. (I am able to reason to myself that this is okay because the last time I had blood work done my bad cholesterol was really low).

Yay for excuses as well.

Obviously you should skip up to Seattle this weekend so you can participate in BACONFEST 08...

Ohgod. Lili and I went to the Papa Haydn's on Milwaukie for lunch today. We are totally dead of artery-clogging sandwiches and something chocolate and deadly called "autumn meringue." With caramel sauce.

My God. It was SO GOOD. You have to come out there with us, Candy. You just HAVE TO.
