House of Cards: Renewal

All this talk about Christmas menus is making me very hungry.

I will miss my Grandmother's rice salad at Christmas. No one could make it the same and when both her daughters shadowed her every move and wrote down exactly what she did… nope still not the same…

On the plus side, we do have her honey dumpling recipe and that works a treat. There is a note saying she doubled the sauce…. Mmmmm so good with vanilla ice cream

Well it’s time for bed - I have a busy day planned for tomorrow. Nothing like Gary’s serious home renovations - I’m making fridge magnets with Christmas puns for our Christmas Crackers this year

I ain't done yet... snow is coming and I want my car back in the garage. Some more tightening and then I can take the supports out that are lifting the doors and their weight off the tracks. Just one problem, my grandkids were just dropped off. They're getting big fast, so they can watch me work. I promised them cinnamon rolls.   Sweet dreams, brother B.

Greetings, bats and butterflies. Another busy day for me.

There's a tall, blond elf named Morgan who wants my attention. Elves like to receive as well as give, so I'll just leave this pearl of wisdom before I log off: Elf care is self care.

It's not perverted to take care of your husband.

@spike382 @Drew Espinosa On Pinterest, I discovered a poster for a Thai BL story called "I Told Sunset About You".

Thoughts?

I Told Sunset About You is one of the most cinematic BLs I've ever seen.  It probably has one of the most beautiful first kisses as well...

But I freaking hate one of the main characters.

Don't worry @Page Scrawler, Spikey hates that character for being an idiot, not abusive.

BTW, why is it when I type ":smirk:" I get 😏 ? Smirking isn't usually associated with shyness.

Drew must remember my rants, there were a lot of them in my early BL days.

Yes, the guy is such a freaking idiot!!!

An idiot, but not abusive. So, should I watch it, or no?

Wow, you took @spike382's word for it, but not me?  

You should always trust me!

For me it was a pretty interesting story, but also a frustrating watch.  The actors are definitely cute, and they have a decent amount of chemistry.
