Here's a few other things that have managed to catch my attention during this week of Potter obsession:
1. the Weekly World News is closing up shop. The WaPo story says only the print version, but I've seen other reports that it's both the print and online versions. A sad day for crackpot journalism indeed...
2. More Kwik-E-Mart photos. Woohoo! Hey, the movie opens today. We'll probably skip the opening night crowds and catch it sometime over the weekend.
3. Also from the A/V dept. -- some nice behind-the-scenes photos of Cirque du Soleil's Love.
4. And, last but never least, the pannenkoekenboot. Pancake boat! Pancake boat!! Every city should have one of these. But since they don't, a trip to Holland is now definitely on my list of things to do.
Mmmm, both sweet and savory pancakes .... which reminds me of a most favored recipe I haven't eaten in a while: Make some smallish pancakes. Layer them about 4 high with spinach and cheese (I've used all kinds--gruyere is particularly yummy). Put the stacks in the oven until slightly melty. Eat. Yum. I learned that recipe in, of all places, Chile, although I don't think it's exactly a native dish there or anything.
One could probably use ham or bacon or something, and maybe also sprinkle with powdered sugar or douse in syrup for that Monte Christo effect ...
