Last night I went to that monthly dinner club; it was supposed to have taken place last Thursday, but too many of the girls couldn’t make it. As I mentioned previously, everyone brings a dish and there is always a central theme around what to make, ala Iron Chef. The theme for this past dinner was to have been St. Patrick’s Day, which we obviously missed. Then someone suggested making something in honor of the vernal equinox; the first day of spring. We split it 50/50 and celebrated “Irish Spring.”
I still made the Irish Soda Bread, which went over famously! I normally add raisins to the recipe, but was informed that one of the ladies is allergic to dried fruits, so I had to withhold 
them. As it turns out, I later discovered that Irish Soda Bread with raisins is actually known as “dick-in-a-box” or “spotted dick”, much to my delight. Imagine my double disappointment at having to exclude raisins once I found that out!
In other news, it was confirmed that the Twitter account thought to be maintained by Christopher Walken, which has over 85,000 followers, is actually not the beloved star. I was saddened to hear this since I had 
checked out updates to this account regularly (I don’t believe in following celebrity tweeples) for a laugh and was never disappointed. After reading an article discussing the issue, I’ve been wondering if this new information will affect CWalken‘s followers. It’s also forced me to consider whether the true author may be part eggplant.

They sell Spotted dick in the A&P. I want to try it but I’m too emberassed to bring it up to the register. If I ever do get the courage to buy it I’ll be sure the cashier is a young lookin boy and I’ll just smile at him the entire time. If I ever decide to join Twitter my name is gonna be Pdiddy, I’m sure I’ll get alot of followers.

I have to be on the look out for it – I definitely like the plan. Can you get some footage of that? I’ll post it. BTW, RE being PDiddy on Twitter, you’re far too late for that: check it.
