Speaking of Muses

Though I've been told I don't really have much of a sense of humor, I am still Gavin's Thalia, the muse of comedy. I can be goofy every once in a blue moon and I have that physical comedy thing going for me, unintentionally. Which sometimes means I'm flying through the air after tripping over a crack in the sidewalk. I'm also known as "Talia of the Shire" when I wear my hat. More importantly, I'm a pancake muse. Yesterday Gavin surprised me with a strawberry pancake and a chocolate cherry pancake. For dinner, no less. And speaking of chocolate, the other night I put Pink of Perfection's chocolate truffle recipe to the test with great success. You should try it.

In other news, I'm trying to find a cheap-n-charming b&b in Oxford for Wednesday night--so if anyone has a hot tip, please let me know! I have to skedaddle. Right now I'm caught in the middle of a really long break-up with Gilberte.
