I was 13 when I first read Shelley's Frankenstein. Hungry for more I took out this book from the library. Frankenstein Diaries by The Rev. Hubert Venables. Highly recommend it as the illustrations in the del Toro movie reminded me of it. graphicinterventions.blogspot.com/2007/08/fran...

Saw del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN. It was beautiful. Made by someone who truly loved the book & Shelley's accomplishment. My fave scene was when the abused Monster is treated with kindness for the 1st time by Elizabeth (the embodiment of Shelley). Percy & Byron literary inclusions were most appropriate.

Reversing this grey snowy day. Gonna pick up my kiddo now, I get to wear this fab Nosferatu hologram pin my boyfriend got me, and get to see FRANKENSTEIN today.
And here's Nita in the snow. 🖤

Paid a visit to the Colombian consulate. Grabbed an arepa from Manatos at Union Station, and found manzana flavoured Postobon on the way home. I haven't had one in decades. Teniendo un dia tan sabroso.

Reading Starve Arce (Hurley is my fave since The Loney. British folk horror ftw) and then watching life affirming LIFE OF CHUCK today was a whirlwind of emotions. All good.

There are ghosts on that side of the room tonight. The pups were like this for a good 20 minutes. Thanks for visiting.

I made a modified version of the black sea bass with sweet parsnips, arrowhead spinach, and saffron-vanilla sauce, from The French Laundry cookbook. I used rainbow trout, and instead of mussel stock, I made fish stock. Paired with zero alcohol Invitations Semillon chardonnay from Australia.

Spent some time at my local with books and now back home with kiddo contemplating The French Laundry cookbook (only ingredient I have for this is the parsley and garlic), but most likely opting for an easy butternut squash soup with baguette tonight.
