Friday Links: Netherfield, Parisian Kale, Salted Chocolate, and Hay Hooks

Netherfield Ball +200: The BBC is staging a re-creating an entire Regency ball – to mark the 200th anniversary of Pride And Prejudice.
Netherfield
I have always been enamored of the mannered domesticity in Miss Austen’s novels.  In a 90-minute special, experts will re-stage the planning and rehearsals for an early 19th century ball, as well as looking back at the first-hand testimony of ball-goers of the time.  It will end with an authentic recreation based of the ball at Netherfield, a turning point in the romance between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy.  Oh, please please!  Someone invite me!

    Thanks for sharing “Get Your Shit Together.” This is a situation I went through with my dad a few years ago and vowed no one would ever have to go through it with me. Really important stuff that we usually give no thought to. I posted it to my Facebook page and I hope that it will spur some action amongst my loved ones.

  2. You actually make it seem so easy along with your presentation however I to find this
    matter to be really something which I believe I’d never understand. It sort of feels too complex and very broad for me. I am having a look forward for your next put up, I’ll attempt to get the hold of it!
