Downton Abbey and Japanese sweets

Downton Abbey! Who doesn't love it?! It's one of my top two favorite shows. I just watched the Christmas special of season 4 this afternoon. It was soooo good and over 90 minutes long!! :)  I think they will start showing season 4 in the US in January. 

I just read an article on the Huffington Post. Sophie McShera (Daisy) reveals a rather disgusting detail. There is a "no wash" policy in place so the costumes can keep their historic look. 

"We do stink, as they don't wash our costumes... They have these weird patches which are sewn into the armpits and which they wash separately."

We can't imagine the Dowager Countess approves of this.

I got caught up a little bit in looking at gorgeous and super cute Japanese desserts this afternoon. 

I mean, seriously!  Who can make these! So beautiful!!

Tomorrow. Back to work.
