I thought they only did this stuff for Playboy & Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. The CEO is one of the baggage carriers and everyone else are Air NZ staff.

Here is the making of:

Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As ‘Fun, Watchable’

I put together an afternoon tea for my mom. It was great but a fair bit of work. I made two types of tea sandwiches - waldorf chicken salad and prociutto and asparagus with cream cheese. Vanessa, my oldest sister, made vegetarian ones. She had cucumber, radish, and goat cheese ones that were my favorite.

The next course was cream scones. I made adorable mini ones that I served with Devonshire double cream, raspberry preserves, and sweetened whipped cream and marscapone cheese.

Dessert was citrus poppy cake with cream cheese frosting and cream filled strawberries.  They were filled with the sweetened whipped cream and marscapone. I had some left over after filling all the strawberries and figured it would make a nice scone topping.

I served two kinds of Rishi Tea - Earl Grey and Golden Yunnan. It was perfect weather for an afternoon tea as it was on the cool side while still being comfortable enough to be outside enjoying the sunshine and the late spring garden.

I also managed to score some sweet tea cups and dishes at Homegoods. I got 4 cups and saucers for $7 in the clearance section. I bought 2 sets.

It was supposed to rain all weekend, but yesterday it cleared up mid morning and was nice all day. I was hoping for the same today, but it was not to be.  The cold, damp day called for some scones.  Reader, I made them.

Cardamom scones with Lemon icing and Cranberry and Walnut Scones.  I’m eating a cardamom scone right now with some Rishi Earl Grey. Perfection.

Apparently these public group dance/sing things are popular in Europe.

This time it’s Beyonce’s Single Ladies in Piccadilly Cirucs in London.

Apparently I’ve decided to get some culture recently. In a recent one week span I went to a Devils game (they got destroyed by the Leafs), Avenue Q with Lincy, and a Nets game (they won).

I thought Avenue Q was pretty cute.  We didn’t quite get the logic as to when someone was a puppet. I thought maybe all the monsters would be puppets, but Princeton wasn’t a monster.

Before that we went to Marseille for brunch. It was really good and definitely recommended if you are looking for someplace in the theater district. I would make reservations though because it was packed. We had them and still waited 15 minutes.

If you ever wondered what the difference between American and Canadian hockey fans was…well here’s a visual example. Hey there Iginla.

There is a house a few blocks from mine that has had Easter decorations up for awhile. These are not just any Easter decorations either, it pretty much looks like the Easter bunny exploded with a full load of eggs.

I finally remembered to take a photo last weekend. I think people have been taking eggs because there were a lot more.

My friend Liz had this on her blog and I had to share…

Seems like a flash mob from Sound of Music. Rather amusing but can you imagine how annoyed you’d be if you were late for your train and that was going on in the middle of the station?

I picked up my new Audi after work today. I love it!! And it’s so fast…I barely realized I was doing 85 on 287. Need to keep an eye on that.

I need to think of a name for it.
