I bunkered down under my duvet with a hot cup of tea and watched Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, last night. I went in with low expectations. I wasn't fond of the second movie so I was pleasantly surprised how much I laughed and enjoyed At World's End. It's Johnny Depp, hunny and that's always a good time.

I've had a librarything account for heima since July 2007. I decided to make use of it and have been liberally, albeit slowly, adding books to it. I have 181 books archived so far with many, many, more to go. That's an understatement. Really. I'm really proud of my library but also a bit shocked at how many cookbooks I own. I encourage you all to browse through it.
