battlestar galactica in my closet

My very infrequent blogging might be excused with this post? Sipping my tea on a rainy day, cleaning out and reorganizing my closet, I found 4 "baseball" cards from the original battlestar galactica show. I loved that show though had no recollection that my obsession extended to collecting cards. But there you have it. Geek from a young age.

I have in very good condition the following cards:

#17: Blasted by the Cylon Warships! On the back, there is Character Profile #10 of 12: "The Imperious Leader" (uncredited). Vile. Malevolent. Unearthly. The horrifying head of the Cylon race. Determined to wipe out the human colonists and all who aid them. Resembling a boar's head flanked by medallions and royal attire, this nightmare intelligence is the single mind behind the Cylon war machine. It is a mind dedicated to unrestrained evil.

#27: The Colonial Battlestars.

#30: Fleet of Colonial Vipers.

#93: The Colonists' Counterattack!

Having just watched the final episodes of the final season of the new show, this was a nice find.

julie and julia inspired french cooking - first result is pear tarte tartin!

After seeing Julie and Julia with Mum, we have both been inspired to cook, all week and ala francais!

First, we both enjoyed the movie so much. Mum is an excellent cook and loves cooking. She regularly has two dishes on the go in the mornings before 8 am. She relishes feeding people and finding the ingredients they love.

So, seeing this particular movie with her was a delight. And seeing her laugh so hard she was crying was contagious.

Mum has cooked up some goodies this week, and purchased a cast iron french oven. She got a great price at Victoria's Basement. Her fist creation was from the north eastern region of France, with chicken, mushrooms, pale ale, cream and was light and lovely.

And, she helped me make a delicious Pear Tart Tartin, surprisingly easy. It was lovely warm and is good cold with a bit of yoghurt accompanied by French press coffee for breakfast.
