It's said that April showers bring May flowers…
and with all of the rain we've had out wet, I mean West, this year… I'm looking forward to more than just a bouquet come May.
That said, we've found a fun way to pass the time inside by showering our loved ones with handmade treasures in the mail.

Kinda like the Bourne Identity with estrogen.
Kinda like the Bourne Identity with estrogen.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I finally watched Plunkett & Macleane all the way through. Surprisingly, it was pretty good. The titular "Gentlemen Highwaymen" robbers sneak their way through 18th century England.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I started watching The Expendables but I gave up after about 20 minutes, it was that bad....imho.
633 Squadron
...on the Military Channel's "An Officer and A Movie" feature with Lou Diamond Phillips. Lou even mentioned that it was rumored that the climatic ending of the movie was said to have influence G.Lu in the attack on the Death Star scene.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I just finished the Harry Potter movies something something Part 2.
I was pretty good.
May the force be with you.
Watched Green Street Hooligans for the second time last week. Every bit as good as it was the first time around. I thought American sports fans were obessive, I had no idea that British Football (Soccer) fans were anything like that over across the pond. This is one I will probably buy at some point.
Also watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Pretty impressed with the movie and plan to check out the other two here soon.

Thor: I thought it was ok, nothing special really (sorry NatPo)
Captain America: Better then Thor....I'd say it was decent but not great.
I finally saw (most of) Ratatouille. Not bad, but I can see why it doesn't get "top Pixar movie" rankings (not as kiddie, IMO).
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I watched Super 8 and The Change Up.
Super 8 was pretty good. The Change Up was funny but as with any of these type of movies it was a bit predictable.
May the force be with you.
Had some time off of work so I've been catching up on my movies. Watched Conan: The Barbarian, 30 Minutes or Less, Smurfs and Another Earth last week.
The new Conan was pretty good. It seemed like it was trying too hard to be bloody when it wasn't really necessary for the story. If fact, most of the time the blood splatters were so unrealistically exaggerated that they made the movie seem like a parody of itself. The story felt overdeveloped in some areas. Almost like the writers just assumed that everyone watching the movie would be well-versed in the Conan mythology.
30 Minutes or Less was okay. Funny in parts, but also unnecessarily vulgar in ways that didn't enhance the story, but just seemed to be arbitrarily placed into the film for shock value. It didn't feel like any of the actors in the film were really interested in their roles at all.
Smurfs was actually funnier than I expected it to be. The premise of the movie was going to be ridiculous no matter how it was written, so it was good to see that the film just accepted that fact and ran with it. I think Neil Patrick Harris was miscast in his role, but otherwise it's a fun little family film.
Another Earth is probably one of the better films I've seen in a long, long time. I would highly recommend it for anyone who prefers thought-provoking, character-driven sci-fi over the bloated, computer-generated blockbusters that we usually get. It's also a visually beautiful film. The special-effects are minimalist, but very effective for telling the story.

Dessert|Saffron Pistachio Indian Bread Pudding {eggless} … with Mauviel1830 @thekeybunch #copperware #dessert #Indian #Diwali
"I put the kitch into kitchen."
Nigella Lawson,
Saffron Pistachio Indian Bread Pudding {eggless} …. this is a post about bread pudding, the festival season, travel, cookware, memories, possessions, obsessions, food props & styling, connects and so much more. To begin with, a bit about the dessert. Fascinatingly, almost every culture across the world has it's own version of bread pudding.In many cases, eggs are an intrinsic part as they help to firm up the custard to offer a rich pudding. That version is often baked. We grew up with a no bake eggless version, quintessential in this part of the world. Locally referred to as Shahi Tukda, its translation quite literally 'the royal bit{e}'!Inherent ingredients … bread of course {day old if possible} clarified butter, sugar, full cream milk, often khoya {milk solids also known as mawa}, dry fruit. Saffron if you want to add to the flavours and give it that special touch. I love using saffron. A nice generous teaspoon and you have seductive, lilting flavours in your dessert.
Pistachio slivers, rose petals, beaten silver foil, more saffron … anything to make it even more festive. I thought it fitted right in with my newly acquired {read received as a gift} Mauviel1830 rectangular roasting pan. And there begins another connect … a food prop connect!
I am fascinated by food props. Metal, stone, wood, ceramic, stoneware. However, metal is my first love. Copper to get even more precise. Most folk who know me know well of my love for food props, vintage mostly. A trip to the Kashmir valley in March this year left me virtually breathless. The people, the places, the architecture, scenic beauty, an old world charm … Also old markets, spices and of course copper-ware. Loads of it. Old Srinagar market is filled with the most beautiful intricately engraved copper. The natives use it in everyday cooking; it's a part of their life. There was only so much I could carry back. I had been warned about excess baggage!!
And then last week came something that I had never imagined. More copper. A gift all the way from Normandy, France. Not vintage, but something that left my heart going THUD THUD THUD!! A set of the most beautifully crafted, stellar quality copper and steel cookware form the iconic French brand Mauviel 1830! Take a look.
Around the same time, Sharon @ The Keybunch asked if I could do a guest post for her in October, maybe a travel destination with a recipe woven in for Diwali. Her blog is about beautiful spaces, stories, people,travel destinations, art, food, culture….love! I had Srinagar in mind it is one of the most stunning places on earth.
Srinagar means a lot to me. A childhood connect, copper-ware, shikaras, houseboats, snow, saffron, rogan josh, goshtaba, bakeries, fruit, beautiful people … For the recipe, I wanted to use saffron. I've done a really nice Caramel Saffron Panna Cotta earlier, so this time opted for a simple eggless Indian Shahi Tukda or bread pudding.
This Mauviel1830 rectangular pan offered me a perfect choice even though it's a roasting pan. You can bake an egg custard bread pudding in the pan for a variation. Here is what I did. I tried to use as many of the beautiful creations from Mauviel1830 in this simple recipe. The adorable little pan was used to melt the clarified butter in. The copper bowl for whisking the milk, cream, and condensed milk, the heavy bottom saucepan for reducing the milk concoction…and of course the rectangular pan for final plating.
It's a really nice set, and using Mauviel made my experience totally memorable. I felt royal. You got to experience it to believe it. Each piece screams quality, feels great to hold, is crafted with care, and beautiful to look at of course…… as a friend rightfully commented on FB, Mauviel1830 is an investment.
Do head off to Sharon @ The Keybunch to find my simple, rich and indulgent yet rich Indian Shahi Tukda or Saffron Pistachio Indian Bread Pudding {eggless} recipe. It's a quintessential Indian dessert, kept light by toasting the bread. Feel free to play around with spices and or/ingredients. The recipe is pretty basic. Use cardamom or star anise, maybe nutmeg for a change in flavour. Skip the condensed milk and use ricotta, mawa/khoya and sugar instead.

Family: Papilionidae, Swallowtails view all from this family
Description A common swallowtail butterfly of western North America. Both the upper and lower sides of its wings are black, but the upper wing has a broad yellow stripe across it, which gives the butterfly an overall yellow appearance. There are striking blue spots on the rear edge of the rear wing, and the characteristic tails of the swallowtails. Its wingspan is 7–9 cm. Its body is somewhat shorter than the rather similar Western Tiger Swallowtail, with which its range overlaps; it also lacks the black stripes, converging toward the tail, of the latter. There is a somewhat darker subspecies, Papilio zelicaon nitra, which is rare throughout the range, though somewhat more often found at lower elevations.
Dimensions 2 5/8-3" (67-76 mm).
Habitat Canyons & caves, Alpine & subalpine habitats, Forests & woodlands, Grasslands & prairies, Deserts, Meadows & fields, Cities, suburbs & towns, Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Freshwater swamps, marshes & bogs, Shorelines & salt marshes.
Range Western Canada, California, Northwest, Plains, Southwest, Rocky Mountains.

Soglin reaction to officer shooting doesn't add up
When Mayor Soglin gave a press conference this past Tuesday, he said he trusted Chief Wray's decision to exonerate Officer Heimsness when he shot and killed Paulie Heenan last fall. The D.A. and Chief closed the Heenan case by exonerating Officer Heimsness under the premise that they trusted him as a person who uses good judgement and that he was the most trustworthy person on the scene that morning. Mayor Soglin apparently supports this assessment.
The Mayor also supports the idea of an inquest, or D.A. Ozanne taking another look into Officer Heimsness' truthfulness, judgement and intent when he killed Paulie Heenan.
Supporting the Chief would include buying into his convenient removal of 15 seconds from Officer Heimsness' job-ending charge of 118 counts in 4 months of terrible judgement. The 15 seconds the Chief wishes to delete is the time it took Officer Heimsness to decide to end unarmed, submitting Paulie Heenan's life. How can Soglin support Wray's denial and an inquest too? For explanation, he brought in the strongbox wisdom of City Attorney, Michael May.
Soglin read a quote given to him by May and suddenly it all made sense. I took May's words to be a statement in defence of the idea that Officer Heimsness could have changed from his impulsive, intolerant self into the polar opposite of that person during the 15 seconds when he killed Paulie. This despite the last documented violation allegedly committed by Heimsness mere hours before his encounter with Paulie when he wrote, "i'm the right cop for the wrong job", "No witnesses, no problem" May's quote went like this:
"Generally speaking and with some exceptions, evidence of a person's character is not admissible to show that a person acted in conformity with that trait in a given instance. Whether an exception is made in this case is up to the District Attorney."
Notice, May doesn't leave the exception up to Chief Wray's discretion and there is a reason for that. It is very difficult for a District Attorney to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that someone committed an act of reckless homicide, much harder than it would be for Chief Wray to admit that Heimsness was being Heimsness during those 15 seconds, and that he lost control and violated policy as he so frequently and comfortably does.
To reiterate, just 2 hours before Officer Heimsness killed Paulie, he wrote, "I'm the right cop for he wrong job", "No witnesses, no problem". Michael May appears to tacitly support the notion that, shortly after making this statement, Heimsness could have abandoned his job-ending pattern and practice of dishonest behaviour, racist, sexist and violent comments and poor judgement for 15 seconds - and then gone right back to dodging accountability and lying. I had to double check and make sure Dan Frei wasn't the author of this moonshine logic, but no, it was Michael May.
City Attorney, Michael May's job must be tough to show up for. He appears to be funnelling advice through a screen that sifts away any sense of moral or ethical obligation on the part of city workers. As to the death of Madison resident Paulie Heenan, May's job is to minimize the appearance of city employee responsibility and buy some black-market accountability at a discount price. Soglin and Wray have forgone serving the people at the behest of Michael May hoping this bankrupt strategy will work. This perception, that technicality and lawful denial equals a discounted civil judgement and perceived integrity, is not only disgusting; it's the result of bad math.
May, Soglin, Wray and Frei will cost the city more for dodging in both dollars and trust, because there are those of us in the community who won't tolerate it anymore. There is just no excuse for bad math.

After reading Scott's post of how to make a turpin box call, I thought I would give it a try. Then one very important question popped in my mind. Where would I get the block of wood? There is a lumber mill that we go to get blocks of wood to fire tobacco barns and was thinking I could use that. Problem is I don't know what kind of wood it is. Im sure its a mixture of different types but what would work best.
So can some of you call makers tell me where you get your wood? Also, which woods work best for a box call? The wood that would be easiest for me to get is oak, maple, and cedar. Would they make a good call? Besides the grain, is there anything else you look for in a piece of wood?
