Does Anyone Know A Kid

Who would love a kid's cookware set?

Twenty years ago (15 for that matter), I was such a kid, so I very much want to make sure some kid who would love such a set now gets it.

SurLaTable (http://surlatable.com/) has, amidst their overpriced overdecorated kitchen cruft, a few worthwhile implements and sets. Three such are the Sous Chef Bake Set ($29.95), the Kid's Pizza Making Kit ($21.95) and the Children's Utensil and Cookware Set ($23.95) (all prices in US dollars).

I'm tempted to buy one for the annual Winter Holiday Toy Drive, as a useful, educational, welcome change from the plastic high-heeled dolls and action figures that usually populate toy drives. (I'm tempted to buy all three, but, as I must remind myself, I'm not made of money.)

At any rate, I thought I'd mention it here.

After all, we have to catch 'em young. ;)

Happy Birthday, kimberlogic!

I hope you had a lovely birthday yesterday!

Warrior Queen!

So, Warrior Queen is currently on the Tivo, since I need to get a tape to transfer it to, because I don't want to lose it to erasure. I liked it. It was splendid and violent and fairly accurate but not too accurate, and Alex Kingston--mrow! Go Warrior Queen! ( more musings on the movie; includes spoilers )
