Do you like reading about the awkward dating experiences of others?

Would you be friends with a girl who buys a $300 pair of shoes, only to carry them around in a bag whilst walking on cobblestone streets?

Do you want to hear about the not-so-fabulous dating life of one of the most fabulous girls I know?

Then go check out http://maviemaladroite.blogspot.com/ and hear all about Shannon's love life in progress. She is my fave and because I am essentially her editor/manager, you should go read how she's doing.

All the money I'm saving by cooking at home instead of eating out is going straight to my iTunes account.

In other news, made suprêmes de volaille à brun with tomates à la provençale, both via Julia Child. The tomates were a rousing success. The chicken? A challenge to figure out how the hell to cook with clarified butter.

I know I shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch. And I know that getting my hopes up only leads to disappointment. But I feel really, really good about this.

Please, please, PLEASE let this one work out.
