Favorite thing #1 as of late: The 2009 version of Jane Austen's Emma. Jonathan and I have watched it over...and over...and over...do add it to your netflix queue.
I believe Emma and Mr. Knightley (in this particular version) are thee best matched and most genuinely noble couple portrayed in Austen films yet.
And not to mention, Michael Gambon plays Emma's father...and who doesn't love Michael Gambon. (I think I can't get enough of all the beautiful furniture and rooms in every other scene too!)
Favorite thing #2 as of late: Pumpkin pancakes. I've never consumed so many carbs in one sitting as I do when I have a plate of these in front of me...
Pumpkin Pancakes:
2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup oat bran
1/8-1/4 cup ground flax meal
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tbs brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
a pinch of mace, & a pinch of clove
1/2 tsp salt
1.5 cup milk
1 cup homemade pumpkin puree
1 egg
2 tbs veg oil
(I like to mix the syrup with more ground flax meal)
I couldn't grab the camera fast enough to catch him drinking out of it, but he did! and it was oh so cute.
