Age and inclination has kept Harry Potter under my radar though partial to Brit Lit. my taste is more towards the Drabble sisters, Margaret and A. S. Byatt. Thanks to MM, Mila and Mila for explaining.

Just the same, I’m still very impressed with all your works.

Wonder why we can only see your gorgeous hat and covering your mysterious face in one of the magazine I read.

Harhar! sorry, couldn’t resist that after reading Millet’s comment…Or maybe he’s really a dementor, sucking hope and happiness out of people’s lives…:)

The Kid is mortified that Marketman has NOT read any of them. But I did accompany her to several of the movies, hence I was aware of expelliarmus…. Megamom, ah, the things that can transpire in a few short hours or days on a blog… Rowi, the Vargas butter cake is a Forbes Park institution, soft pillowy and very buttery tasting. I did a post on them before, it’s in the archives. Kitkathie, I will look up contact details for Sweet Bella and add them here when I find them. As for the dark chocolate a 70% cacao or greater la maison du chocolat or valrhona to end a meal is always appropriate… :)

The perils of blogging and free speech – you never know what lunatics will say next, and worse, they feel entitled! That behind all of us, we can move on and celebrate the good things in life. Happy Birthday Mrs MM! You are one lucky gal! It must have been a loooooong dinner, with all that good food and good company.

I thought get lost is “agas animam.”
