Plans, clay, and a damn good TV show!

So, despite my being quite silent on the 'blogosphere' I have been quite busy where it matters. Rob and I are wrapping things up for the end of year by planning our trip to the US in December, scheduling dinner parties with friends and of course planning our gigantic annual Thanksgiving Dinner!

I've started to take a ceramics course every Thursday night near where I work and hopefully I am going to take home my first finished piece tonight, I'm sure I'll post several pictures of my masterpieces in the future.I used to love ceramics in high school and this has reminded me just how fun it is! I really enjoy working with clay and getting dirty once a week.  Before I started blogging and baking I didn't have much of a creative outlet and this has allowed me to express myself in other ways and it gets me out of work-mode and house-mode once a week. It's been both therapeutic and fun.

While I've been playing with clay, Rob's been playing computer games and hurting his ankle every Monday at football <rolls her eyes>. In between these activities and our culinary experiences we became thoroughly addicted to a TV show from Denmark called The Killing or Forbrydelsen. Sad to say, I think this is the real reason for the gap in posts.

We started the first Sunday in November and were completely finished will all 20hours worth of episodes within 5 days! It was a marathon but it was amazing! I don't want to tell you too much but it's a murder mystery that leaves you hanging at the end of every episode and you just can't stop watching. There is a US version but we heard the the original, though subtitled, was much better than the remake (as per usual). I highly recommend it for people who liked The Wire and anything that has to do with forensic investigation. Watch it, but be warned, you might have to put your life on hold to finish it.
