the happiness of pink

... and of Rob Ryan papercuts. http://www.misterrob.co.uk/  Today I made soup in a pink house which made me curiously happy. It was a sort of rambling country house painted entirely rose pink and I wondered why more people don't have pink houses? I also came upon an article in Stella magazine discussing the endlessly fascinating debate of perfect chocolate brownies.  Apparently they used to contain far less chocolate and flour than the decadence of today... and here is yet another brownie recipe to try: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/9093945/Please-less-chocolate-in-my-brownies.html.  I remember reading an interview with Tom Ford a while ago. He said the last thing he was excited about was a chocolate brownie.  See, it's contagious!

If you can't get someone out of your head, then maybe they're supposed to be there.
