First episode is up.  I started to watch, but I stopped because I want to watch it with americanstd .

Tonight's dinner is pasta and meat sauce (trying it with ground chicken) and for dessert, I made a puff pastry tart with almond paste and cherries.  I'd been thinking last week that my ultimate dessert would be something with almonds and cherries.  I realized I had almond paste that I'd bought to make a kringle (a Danish coffee cake that is a circle of yeast dough with an almond paste filling) and a pound or so of cherries, so I bought a box of puff pastry, rolled out the almond paste with my marble rolling pin that had been languishing for a couple of years now, and then topped it with the cherries after taking the pits out.  That was a hassle.  I tried using a knife and cutting them in half to get the pit out but realized just tearing the fruit apart was easier. It still took forever but the result looks tasty.  I took a photo; will update it later.

Thank you sooo much for linking the episode. The entire thing hasn't popped up on Youtube yet, so this was very welcome indeed.

I think the phone is working again. I'm going to buy minutes tomorrow and ring tomorrow evening if it's cool with you. Say, 1800 your time-ish?

Yes, I can do that. Hear you tomorrow!
