Fresh New Look

Howdy, all! Our blog has a fresh new look and a new header, an image I found online and thought was perfect for Les Baguettes! She's a sassy French girl and she's got a way with that loaf of bread.

There have been some major events since we abandoned our poor blog, and I thought that we could resurrect it by listing some of them. In no particular order:

• Baby Baguette alert! We welcome Mara Jade to the world. If PaNeTToNe agrees, I will post the very first pics of her here.

• Giada Foccacia has turned 60 and done a very nice job of it too.

That's it for now. Post those comments, photos, vids, etc. as you see fit. It's Easter! Let's resurrect the blog!

Mad Men

Oh, great: Now I'm going to be singing "Bye Bye, Birdie" all night long.

And....He's Baaaack!

But, we all agree: WHAT were THEY THINKING with THAT winner of the All Stars Challenge??? Give us Korto any day!

He's Back.

You know who I'm talkin' bout. And he's awesomely, wickedly bad. Although he's so good-lookin' and stylish that we don't care.

My OMG moment: when Don and his latest, um, conquest glimpsed Sal through the hotel window from the fire escape.

What was yours?

Solar Eclipse July 2009 to Be Dramatic, Longest in 21st Century

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - The astronomical event of the summer, if not for this entire year, occurs Wednesday—a total eclipse of the sun visible in its entirety in parts of India and China.

It will be the longest eclipse of the 21st century, lasting as much as 6 minutes, 39 seconds in parts of the south Pacific Ocean, making it the longest-lasting one observed in China since 1814. It will not be surpassed in duration until 2309.

According to NASA , the path of the moon's umbral shadow begins in India and crosses through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and China before curving south across the Pacific Ocean ( NASA slideshow of the projected path ). The eclipse begins in India's Gulf of Khambhat (Bay of Cambay) at 00:53 Universal Time (UT). About 20 minutes later at 01:13 UT (9:13 a.m. local time) China will begin to see the event -- allowing more people to experience the spectacle of a total solar eclipse at one moment than at anytime in recorded history.

In the U.S., the only place that it will be visible is Hawaii, which will see a small partial eclipse toward sunset on Tuesday.

Field trip, anyone?
