Want To See Something Adorable?

Eustacia's best friend since middle school at least has been dating the same young man since her 9th grade. Those things usually don't last, but this relationship has, and the guy, Brad, proposed to the girl, Lisa, just the other day.

They both play Super Mario quite a bit, so Brad used some sort of auxiliary software to modify the game and insert a message in the coin configuration, and then he set up a video camera where Lisa wouldn't notice. While Lisa was playing the game, the coins spelled out "Will you marry me," and her reaction and her acceptance of the proposal as he kneeled beside her with a ring was caught on tape. It's cute.

Brad put the video on youtube, and the story started getting around. The Telegraph caught wind of it and posted the video on their site, and The Huffington Post wrote about it, linking to the Telegraph article. If you google this thing, you'll find all sorts of stories about it from here to the U.K. Isn't it a weird world we live in? And do you think this is adorable?

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...

Classic Green Bean Bake

In anticipation of Thanksgiving, I feel I must post a recipe with plenty of good old American tradition. The classic Green Bean Bake was invented in 1955 by Dorcas Reilly, a home economist who worked for the Campbell's Soup Company. A study was done determining that 50% of all Americans have eaten the classic Green Bean Bake, and 38% of those believe it is best served during the holidays, mainly Thanksgiving. So, for the other 50% and for those in other countries where this dish may be unfamiliar--my treat: The Classic Green Bean Bake serves 6 to 8 1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon soy sauce Dash of fresh pepper 1 20-oz. bag frozen cut green beans, thawed* 1 2.8 oz can French-fried onions -Preheat the oven to 350 F -In a casserole dish, combine the soup, milk, soy sauce and pepper.
