Thanksgiving Week

With October winding down, I'm starting to think about this year's Thanksgiving-week dinners. It's been a while since I made pad thai, so I think I'll center them around that. A salad of some kind - maybe with that home-made lemon-based dressing I tried a few years back. Cheesecake for dessert, maybe one of the recipes someone (can't remember who, and my e-mails from that year aren't on this computer!) sent me a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, the recipes are on my laptop, which needs repair - apparently I burned out the internal fan. One of the reasons I bought the laptop was so that I could download recipes and bring them into the kitchen without printing them out (no printer at the moment!) or writing them down, so all of my recipe downloads are there (and not here). :makes note on to-do list:

I love pad thai.

Slowdown!

Oh, this is neat: a town in Iceland has adapted coup d'oeil to traffic control. (They're not the first; someone there read about an experiment in New Delhi.) I wonder if it will continue to work after people get used to it, though.
