If i buy ingredients specifically for a recipe, and i only need a small amount of the ingredients, i want to be able to use the rest up and not have to throw them away. There are many things that get under my bonnet and wiggle around, one of those is food waste. Just me, whats happening, and whatever cameras or phone i have to hand.

The show followed three friends-Frank, a composer-turned-film producer Charley, a lyricist and playwright and Mary, the journalist and critic gluing them all together-over roughly 20 years, working backward from their jaded, fractious present in the 1970s, when they’re all about 40, to their first meeting as bright-eyed coeds, full of promise and wonder as they spot Sputnik from a rooftop. ![]() ![]() Directed by Hal Prince, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by George Furth, it represented the triad’s first collaboration since Company a decade earlier-a work that, after its own premiere at the Alvin, wracked up a record-setting 14 Tony nominations and effectively changed musical theater forever.īut anyhow, Merrily.

![]() The Fate of Stars is a dark-but-not-too-dark enemies-to-lovers story (I can’t really call it a romance since the ending isn’t exactly happy), a very slow burn between a bisexual mermaid and a stone butch princess. I guess Sea and Stars is a softer introduction to the author’s world. Again, if you’re like me, you’re going to want to discover the Fallen Gods series too, which is, from what I understand, grittier and more intense than this one. ![]() If, like me, you’re new to Simper’s books, the Sea and Stars series is set in the same universe as Fallen Gods but stands alone. I was lucky enough to win a code for the second book in this series (thank you Lois Ridge), so I used a credit to get the first one. Simper’s books for a while but never got around to it.
