Was writing an email and the word “judgement” was highlighted for spellcheck. So I looked it up, and it turns out that judgEment is a nouveau-british spelling, and considered incorrect in most american english style guides.
Oops. I think I have spelled it wrong my whole life. I may fire off a lot of typos when I am lazy or excited, but I rarely outright misspell anything.

Watching tonight’s Iron Chef America (Flay v. Crawford, Peanuts). ALton Brown is sporting a nicely trimmed beard. TALK ABOUT YOUR GOOD EATS!

Well here she is in her mid-fifties, rocking a tangerine caftan on her honeymoon in the Bahamas (The Loews Paradise Island Hotel and Villa), and looking totally. freaking. fierce.
This is the amazing photo of my grandmother I referred to a few days ago.
The dramatic dress, the perfect frosted hair, not a pore on her face or décolletage, the strappy heels, the gold jewelry, and the ever present cigarette (about to ash on the carpet).
This could be any night at home as well. She would go to a favorite restaurant (Stewart Anderson’s Black Angus, perhaps), and bring home a doggy bag with half of a rare strip steak and some garlic bread. I was usually the lucky recipient of this treat.
This is quintessential Stella.
