Generous woman + great art

The generosity of others does not blow our minds frequently enough. Thank you, E.R.P.

Wild Mushroom Ragout at Craigie

Wild mushroom ragout with a perfectly poached egg and bright green herb sauce: POW! Profiteroles with banana ice cream: Kablooey!

The bill was mind-blowing, too, but alas, the food is just too darn good. Craigie Street Bistrot closes on Saturday and will reopen on Main in September sometime. Looking forward to the new bar.

Planet Earth Ep #7: Lions vs. Elephant

This series has included at least one mind-blowing segment per episode, but last night's ep featured one of the most jaw-droppingly, eye-bulgingly terrifying things I've ever seen: a pride of 30 lions taking down an elephant. My mind was so blown, I genuinely could almost not process what I was seeing.

I'm tempted to link to the clip on YouTube, but I'm guessing some impact will be lost if it's viewed out of the context of the entire episode. It's available from NetFlix.
