Not An Everyday Circumstance: September 2011
http://notaneverydaycircumstance.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Not An Everyday Circumstance. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Tea at Buckingham Palace. Last week I had the privilege of going down to London for two days to see some friends. I took a tour of Buckingham Palace and got to ogle the State Rooms. It's a very lovely palace, and I love the idea of imagining the Queen moving from room to room, receiving guests. It doesn't compare to Versailles, but then I'm biased! On display right now is Kate Middleton's wedding dress, and it's so breathtaking up close!

Not An Everyday Circumstance: Birthdays and Baked's Malted Milk Chocolate Cake
http://notaneverydaycircumstance.blogspot.com/2012/02/birthdays-and-bakeds-malted-milk.html
Not An Everyday Circumstance. Monday, February 27, 2012. Birthdays and Baked's Malted Milk Chocolate Cake. My birthday was a few weeks ago, and I wanted to keep it pretty low-key. I went out to dinner with a few of my friends, and then we adjourned back to the house for a night of board games. I'm not the go-out-and-party type, so this kind of event was pretty perfect. Mmmm Coconut rice. Need I say anything more? I might increase the dosage next time, even though the recipe already called for one cup of ...

Not An Everyday Circumstance: Eating the Northeast - Spring Roundup
http://notaneverydaycircumstance.blogspot.com/2012/04/eating-northeast-spring-roundup.html
Not An Everyday Circumstance. Thursday, April 26, 2012. Eating the Northeast - Spring Roundup. But you don't want to hear me natter on, do you? You want the food. This was my first ploughman's lunch, eaten at a cute little cafe in Alnwick. There were two hunks of fantastic cheddar cheese, a toasted baguette, apple slices, small pickled onions, and a side salad. Simple, filling, and yummy. The dish was quite shallow. A picnic lunch at the Museum Gardens in York. We stopped by at a lovely little deli a...

Not An Everyday Circumstance: Barnard Castle and the Bowes Museum
http://notaneverydaycircumstance.blogspot.com/2012/02/barnard-castle-and-bowes-museum.html
Not An Everyday Circumstance. Sunday, February 26, 2012. Barnard Castle and the Bowes Museum. It's been quite a while! Life has been crazy, as per usual. February has been a month of deadlines, and I've decided to restart theater activities as well. In hindsight, that probably wasn't my brightest idea. I'd forgotten just how much time and energy that requires and let's face it, I'm not exactly a spring chicken anymore. It continues to elude me. Barnard Castle is also home to the Bowes Museum, which is ho...

Not An Everyday Circumstance: October 2011
http://notaneverydaycircumstance.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Not An Everyday Circumstance. Friday, October 28, 2011. My favorite Jane Austen book is Persuasion. Wentworth's letter to Anne at the end of the novel is everything that a love letter should be:. Pardon me while I swoon. In any case, Anne runs to find Wentworth upon receiving the letter, and they are joyfully reunited on the streets of Bath. The chocolate hazelnut, on the other hand, was fantastic. Like eating cold, creamy Nutella. Had the Elliot family living in the Royal Crescent, and poor Anne had to ...
