I need a rest. Like in a whirlpool on some southern continent. I worked today, running cable for a church, and doing entirely too much raising my arms over my head. But, here I am, blogging, and reading blogs.

I am very glad so many people have seen "The Passion of Christ," and have had profound thoughts about what Jesus means to them now. Kristine gave a most thoughtful review, and one that is inspiring too. I am also heartened by some other posts. I have to see it, I have to experience it, if only to make my testimony more real, my witness more emphathetic.

Tonight, I assembled part one of the decadent dessert I've promised my reunion committee for our last meeting before the reunion. Decadent as it has one pound of chocolate in it, called a Bittersweet Marquise. Mix in a little Grand Marnier and assemble an Orange Anglaise, a cool, custardy topping for the marquise. I'll let you know how it turned out. Thanks, Emeril for the recipe. I did modify it, though on one point: the darn vanilla beans were $8.50 US each! I am using real Madagascar vanilla instead. The marquise and the anglaise cool overnight for the unveiling tomorrow. Yum!
