No baby for me! I’m safe until next year! :D

Our shop was introduced to the (slightly belated) Mardi Gras tradition of the New Orleans King Cake. It’s a kind of more a coffee cake, wherein a small plastic baby is hidden, and whoever gets the baby (hopefully before biting into it) buys the cake the next year. Fun and very, very tasty! I think about two thirds of the cake is gone so far, and nobody’s ‘fessed up yet, so I might think twice before having seconds. This pastry goodness is apparently not cheap.

Meet Joe Black is on the Sci Fi channel right now. I have never seen the entire movie in one sitting, but I love every scene I’ve ever…um..seen. It’s an incredible story. This is the movie that made me love Brad Pitt, in spite of the fact that I’ve never been a fan of the “golden boy” look. His mannerisms and his voice are enthralling in this role.

“Then tell me, Joe, how come a man as attractive, intelligent, well-spoken, diffident in the most seductive way, and yet powerful, is all alone in this world?”

*shudders* I need to just go out and buy it already.
