Review #DoctorWho Series 7
I never posted my review of Doctor Who's latest season! I was so caught up in the 50th Anniversary Special (and the Who-love that kept me going all that week) that it completely slipped my mind.
Amy & Rory. I have to say, Rory completely grew on me. I still don't like Amy, I don't like the oblivious way she treats Rory who deserves so much better. But then love is blind and I don't begrudge either of them the love and relationship they have. It's the romantic in me.

Friday Recipe: Apple-Walnut Galette
With Thanksgiving next week, I thought I'd post a scrumptious Thanksgiving desert. And if you don't do Thanksgiving, the dessert is still scrumptious! I've included the Food Network's recipe for the dough. I did not make the dough. I bought it. Who has time to make both the dough AND the pie?
Ingredients
For the Dough:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large egg

#Review Doctor Who Series 6 #SaveTheDay
The Eleventh Doctor is certifiable. Definitely crazy. I like it, but it's such a change from the previous seasons and the flow inherent in them, that I don't feel there's a connection. It's disconcerting. I don't like it. Overall it felt as if this series was a race with bad crashes and a few stellar moments. With still that same disconnect I felt in Series 5.I loved the Christmas special, A Christmas Carol , it touched on the Doctor's past without recapping too much and showed the depth of pa...

Friday Recipe: King Crab Appetizers
Getting ready for the holiday season? I'll give you a moment to get used to this being the holiday season already. I know, it's so so much easier to simply buy them but this way you know what's in them and can add or subtract depending on allergies and preferences. Plus I prefer making my own to trusting someone else. King Crab Appetizers aren't the easiest recipe and they're messy but worth it in the end!

#Review Doctor Who Series 5 #SaveTheDay
It didn't take me long to warm up to Matt Smith, but I'm thinking that had more to do with his phenomenal acting than the writing in the first few episodes. Not their best. By far not the best.
Sure, the Doctor is a pro at running, but this season feels more like a Let's skip any and all character development, character memory, or future characterizations and hop around like a loon.
Yes, yes, different feel to the entire series, but then is at the helm now. Different writer/produc...
