Happy Thanksgiving & Bond

I hope you had a fantabulous Thanksgiving like I did. I spent it at a friend's house with a good group of people and a really good dinner. I made Wisconsin Mac n Cheese and a Pumpkin Ginger cake with Cream Cheese Frosting (both recipes are available on my recipe blog here: http://badgalcooks.blogspot.com/)which ROCKED. So did all the other dishes my friends put together. I got wasted and had a fine time doing it. So there.

I saw the new Bond tonight and after reading horrible reviews of it and hearing disparaging comments about it I had few expectations.



The PIC and I went to our local animal shelter to pet kitties in cages, I went to the gym and then we went and saw "Quantum of Solace". It was fine - not nearly as good as "Casino Royale", in my opinion, but as my husband pointed out, "it was a lot better than any Roger Moore Bond, or Pierce Brosnan". Which is true.

I don't like the blurry fight/chase scenes where you can't really tell what's going on, but I love Mathieu Amalric who plays the villain and Daniel Craig once added more dimension than many previous Bonds. Judi Dench, as always, is a pleasure and delight to watch.

Now - on to work on my many sewing projects this week which you can monitor on my quilting blog! How fun.

Happy Holiday Season officially. Don't kill yourself when you've heard 300 holiday songs in public places. Just drink more eggnog.
