Notes: The last two Easter Peeps bit the dust last night. One was an abandoned cat toy, left in the corner to petrify; the other had a place of honour in the centre of the dinner table, right next to the chocolate rabbit. Make that two chocolate bunny ears.

Heh. "Guimauve" is a nickname of mine in one specific clique of friends. Long story involving the SCA, people's inability to spell "Guillaume," and the wit of the polyglot in that clique. (I almost wrote "requisite polyglot:" I seem to have one in all my groups of friends. You'd think I'd learn more languages, then.)

I'd think that's why you wouldn't. When princeofcairo wanted to know what something was in a foreign language, did he look it up? No, he asked me. This had the dual benefit of lessening his workload and evading my scornful opinion of his mungings.

Make that la nube, which of course means "cloud". That's the most common labeling that I have seen here for marshmallows. Curiously they don't come in a bag like Campfire brand in the US. Here they are in a variety of shapes, colors, and flavors.
