Since Lorelei knew I was coming into town last week, she invited me over for a Who night on Friday, and when I arrived this was what she had waiting for me because she knows I’m very fond of charcuterie with all the trimmings, especially for a TV-watching date. Look at how gorgeous this is; I told her at the time it was almost too pretty to eat. Emphasis on the “almost” there, because eat it we did, nearly every morsel. The drinks, by the by, are our signature Who cocktails; mine (left) is a Sonic Scewdriver (a screwdriver made with our favorite cinnamon-sugar flavored vodka) and hers is an Ass-kicking Amy Pond (like a Moscow Mule but made with our favorite vodka and blood orange-flavored ginger beer). We don’t get to do our Who nights as often as we used to, but we still do them as often as possible. And occasions like that are made extra-nice when the person one is sharing them with does something like this to say, “I love you and you are important to me.”

Charcuterie. Learned a new word and concept. Thanks.
