World Nutella Day: Friday, February 5, 2010

It’s World Nutella Day. Yay!

Thanks to Michelle at bleeding espresso along with Ms. Adventures in Italy and At Home in Rome, we have World Nutella Day.

I’m celebrating by spreading Nutella between two Nilla Wafers. Yum!

Hmm, maybe I’ll buy a package of Oreos and replace all the cream with Nutella. Or maybe I’ll just eat it with a spoon. I wonder if I could stir it into coffee? Perhaps I should just stick to the Nilla Wafers.

What is your favorite way to enjoy Nutella?

Super Easy Crochet Hat

Once in a while I get the urge to crochet.

I know a lot of the basic crochet stitches but I’m really bad at following patterns. Here is an adorable crochet hat pattern that is so easy, even I could follow it. I found the pattern on ravelry.com. You have to be a member to search for patterns, but this one also provided a link to the instructions on a blog.

Here is the link.

If you like to crochet or knit, membership at ravelry is free. It’s a great way to find and share ideas and patterns.

I made this hat in white. (The photo is not mine, it’s from ravelry.) It was so easy, I’m making another in blue and gray. Give it a try.

Life Without Television

My television has been busted now for about two months. And for some reason, I have been too lazy to buy a new one. And you know what? I don’t really miss it. Apart from the late-night reruns of That 70s Show and the ocassional Jane Austen miniseries, I don’t really watch much TV. I caught up on Glee by watching free episodes on their Web site. Gossip Girl has jumped the shark. And the news in full of hate.

Try to do without your television for a while. It’s very liberating.

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice

On this date in 1813, Jane Austen’s Pride and Pejudice was first published in England. One of the world’s most beloved books, it has gone on to sell over 20 million copies worldwide and has had many dramatic adaptations.

Here is a scene from my favorite movie version starring Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet and Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy.

Swan Lake Like You’re Never Seen It Before

Incredible Chinese performers in Swan Lake. Her balance is incredible.

Spectacular.

Stormy Weather

We’ve been getting lots of rain and wind in Southern California. This morning on my way to the office I noticed how high the waves were. So, I pulled out my trusty Flip camera and recorded the action.

Surf’s up!
