Fancy Quality

Mmmm?

Thank you Libby's. I have used your fancy pumpkin mix for many a pie, but let it be known that I think fresh fruits are a tad fancier.

Round We Go


There are few things as immediately fanciful in this world as amusement rides.

The thrill of being swept up and around, tumbling precariously through the air, trusting a carnie with our safety to enjoy our motion sense to the max.

Sometimes I think the swing ride is the most fancy: so simple, so child-like.

Humans are silly.

See: Food

I've finally found something
slightly more fancy
than my stand-by foodploitation site:
foodgawker.com.

I say "slightly" because I have noticed many shared posts between the two sites, but foodgawker has a lot more recipes and foods from restaurants, methinks.

So I may use tastespotting more in practice, but it's good to have fancy culinary goals set forth as well... after all, I made my first reduction last weekend (!), which I fancily drizzled on this baby:

Eagle Nebula

The beloved Eagle Nebula.














One of the most fancy nebulae, in my opinion.
What makes it especially whimsical are its "Pillars of Creation", where stars were born. I must use the past tense here, as the Eagle Nebula was destroyed 6,000 years ago by a supernova... bittersweet-ly, the light from the new nebula won't reach our dreamy earth-eyes for another million years or so. And who knows where we'll be then?
