Miu-Mius decided to spend the afternoon napping under a comforter. I don’t think she appreciated it when I woke her up to take a couple of pictures. But she was looking so cute, I couldn’t resist.

Crispy, Spicy Thai Lunch
Had lunch at Taste of Thai today, and my wish came true. I was hoping that the crispy basil chicken dish (which isn’t on the menu) would be a lunch special. And it was!
Dinner at Harry’s
I woke up this morning with a craving for Harry’s Delicatessen — a great Jewish/Italian deli in downtown Knoxville that serves amazing dishes made of mostly fresh, local foods. Thankfully it doesn’t take much to convince Brandon to eat at Harry’s with me (because he loves it as much as I do), so that’s where we headed for dinner.
Tonight I had the cider braised pork with roasted Brussels sprouts and polenta. Delicious! Last week (yup, I went to Harry’s then, too) I had the sweet potato gnocchi with chicken confit and braised kale. I could eat at Harry’s every day. Local and yummy — can’t be beat.
Vinyl Kino
Here’s my second cinemagraph using the Kinotopic iPhone app. Thought I’d play around with the Roxy Music album on my turntable some more.
Found out about Kinotopic from Brandon, and downloaded the iPhone app so I could try my hand at making cinemagraphs (like photographer Jamie Beck of “From Me To You”).
This is my first Kino, and I’m still trying to get the hang of it. Hopefully I can create a real cinemagraph one day. Maybe this weekend?
I am in love with everything that Madeline did. Now I’m inspired to do the same. Hope I can have a year that’s half as interesting as Madeline’s 2011.

Roxy Music Dance Party
I put “Siren” on the record player tonight and had a little dance party with my cat. We lumbered up and limbo’d down. Meow.
The shrimp tempura roll was a lunch special today. So I ate it. Mmm…
