A drawing of Snape by J.K. Rowling –
“On Tuesday 21st May 2013 an annotated first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, containing J.K. Rowling’s personal annotations and illustrations, raised £150,000 for English PEN and for J.K. Rowling’s own charity, Lumos, when it was sold to an anonymous bidder at a Sotheby’s auction.”
Paciugo Gelato is meeting the need for pumpkin flavored yumminess that drives cravings this time of the year with their offering of a Spiced Pumpkin gelato thru November 27th. Since Dallas based Paciugo has locations across the United States, chances are you are within driving distance of this amazingly flavored treat. The spiciness comes from copious yet restrained amounts of clove in their mixture which builds as you devour it, I ordered mine doubled with their Dark Chocolate Fondente and all I can say is its well worth the caloric investment. Although gelato has roughly 70% less fat than premium ice cream without any loss of flavor or satisfying creaminess. So indulge if you can. Did I mention they can turn any of their gelato flavors into lattes? They don’t use syrups either. Sooo good.
It may seem too early to experience Halloween withdrawals, but I guess I shouldn’t feel too alone in my sense of lost focus. I’m leaving my “hauntscape” up until turkey day gets too close to ignore. In any case, its a bit daunting to think about packing it all up just now.
I suppose others may be experiencing the same…
This seems a trifecta of movie monster memorabilia. A set of ten posters based on the Universal monster movies designed by artist Tom Whalen, (check out artists site at strongstuff.net for a complete peek) and commissioned and offered by Dark Hall Mansion. This Universal Monsters Folio is a beautifully designed set. Yes, please.
I’ve availed myself a time or two. How about you?
Hope you are all having fun with friends and family at your Dia de Muertos celebrations.
