    Cosy Tea is Cozy

    Think this Whittard’s tea cozy (sorry, cosy) is a bit too big, but they didn’t have a smaller one. The mug is one of the few items I’ve managed to keep from my college years: it’s from Taylor & Ng in Portland and this side shows the cat making mouse tea.

    Time For A New Microwave! Happy Thanksgiving Everbodee!

    I was trying to make dulce de leche in the microwave, but the recipe calls for half-power and our microwave’s keypad is busted, limiting us to just a few functions. Thought I could cope but the sweetened condensed milk boiled merrily away, leaving the lazy Susan platter full of milk solids. Yum! Not! Time for a new microwave; just doing my bit to goose the economy. Via: Flickr Title: Time For A New Microwave! Happy Thanksgiving Everbodee!

    Rugby At The Phoenix

    First night in London finds us at the Phoenix in Westminster, and it’s a family affair for England vs. Australia. Nice pub, very cozy, real fire in the fireplace, and very ambitious pub food. The main bar is done up like an old-fashioned kitchen. The crowd is pretty diverse, with a big age range as you can see. We had a Cornish bitter to start – good stuff, Maynard – and David went on to a nice draught cider. Our waitress took good care of us, too.
