White Herons

I think of herons as solitary birds. Tonight I looked up from the table at which I was sitting, and there in the tree ahead of me were twelve of them! They stayed for quite a while, as did I, going outside and sitting in a chair simply to look at them. The resident mockingbird sang his end-of-day song, the breeze occasionally set the chimes to ringing, and the herons sat. A short while later, one took off and the rest followed.

Doctor Who Music Video

I found this video on You Tube. The music is from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Maggi137ra has done an excellent job in piecing together clips that fit with the music. I particularly like the split screen sequence during the duet in the song. I hope you enjoy this too.
If you're browsing around You Tube and you're a Sarah Jane Smith/Tom Baker fan like me, check out the sequence of episode montages by Rosanna6250!

Bragging About Bacon

Sunday is the saltiest day of my week.

On Sunday, I have breakfast at my aunt's house. I am the official bacon cooker. From 9:30 on, till it's time to eat, I cook bacon. One pack, two packs, most often three packs, sometimes four packs. I cook bacon, I smell bacon, I taste bacon, I smell of bacon. No matter how much I cook, there is rarely any left. The secret to better bacon? Don't toss the fat! The first batch is the hardest to control, but each subsequent batch cooks in the fat of the previous one(s), essentially deep-frying it. It's hard to burn deep-fried bacon, and it comes out nice and crisp.

The salt is in the bacon, and by the end of breakfast the bacon is in me. Very tasty!
