Did I mention that I made Tres Leches Cake recently? I had it for the first time at Mistral Kitchen. It was sooooo good. They served theirs with strawberry sorbet. I wasn't that ambitious, but even plain it's wonderful.
I started reading Ursula K. Le Guin's The Beginning Place, and now I remember why I can't seem to get into her books... it's her writing. There's something about it that makes it difficult to follow. I'm constantly zoning out. I understand each individual word -- it's not like the writing is particularly dense or flowery -- yet when I read whole sentences or paragraphs they make no impression on me, they're utterly meaningless. This book is a 'teen' book, I'm only like 10 pages in, and this has happened about half a dozen times already. I go back and read the problem sentences verrrry slowly, but it doesn't usually help. I'm like, what is she trying to describe/say?! What just happened??
Lunch w/ the DG gals this weekend, yay! We're going to Maggiano's. Haven't been there in forever, hope they still have the take-home pasta thingy still.
TV Show Meme Day 15 - Favorite female character: Veronica Mars
What can I say about Veronica Mars? She's smart, sassy, and kick ass in every way. She doesn't have the perfect life but she doesn't allow herself to be a victim. She's confident in her abilities -- and if she isn't, she knows how to hide it well. She has an awesome dad. She never lets anyone get the better of her. She's played by one of the cutest actresses working today. And she manages to do all this and still be likable.
