Isabel, I must so come and visit. Fresh fruit frozen yoghurt. Pizza in an outdoor oven. Oh, my! Will 2012 come fast enough?

banana ice cream sounds divine. I do many fresh fruit (strawberry, raspberry from our garden) frozen yoghurts... As for vampires, I&#39;m not a huge fan but there are those who love them and those who don&#39;t! ; ) <br /><br />xx

Well, I think you know where I stand on &quot;True Blood&quot; Donna ;) But, uh, yeah, even though I&#39;m in lurve with it, I find the it completely crass to consider writing stuff for the sake of jumping on the bandwagon to &quot;cash in.&quot; (Unless, of course, by some miracle, Alan Ball wanted me to write FOR &quot;True Blood&quot; itself.) But it just smacks of derivation and uninspired

Grr, blogger eats too many messages, Danielle! Banana ice cream does cure all evils, let me tell you.<br /><br />And thanks so much for your support, DeDe. Now that I&#39;ve finished Curtis&#39; book, I&#39;d say try a library copy--although I was very inspired by the message. I guess I&#39;m just digesting all of it now and find some issue with this idea that the majority of Americans ever

Oh what a fabulous post!! I&#39;ve had a blast watching True Blood but am not inclined to capitalize on this trend in any manner with regards to my work. Like you, its not where my creative interests are directed naturally. I see artists daily who chase the trends to cash in only to be shocked when what they create doesn&#39;t resonate. If the subject doesn&#39;t resonate with the artist, how can

Who was that happy, skipping woman?<br /><br />Donna, it&#39;s clear you weren&#39;t dissing on anything, except the notion that we should follow &quot;the in thing&quot; just because there is an voracious appetite for it.<br /><br />Just because there&#39;s two hundred pounds of shrimp dominating the buffet doesn&#39;t mean the modest offering of calamari is not inspired and special. <br /><br /

Hey Herr Doktor--your support is so important to all that I do ;-).<br /><br />And thank you, Craig for getting it as always. I don&#39;t mean to diss &quot;True Blood&quot; because I haven&#39;t seen it (season one sits by my TV, but it&#39;s hard to watch anything without kids). I have no doubt the show has something to charm and inspire and entertain. I&#39;m &quot;protesting&quot; the

Yes!<br /><br />An absolutely lovely essay to top off your cleaning spree.<br /><br />I admit that I&#39;ve been enjoying True Blood on TV. It has some unique takes on the theme. There are some interesting characters and tensions and interplay created in it are fun to follow. The whole notion of Vampire&#39;s trying to go mainstream and drinking synthetic blood caught my eye.<br /><br />But I
