Did you count seventy-seven dishes at Joffrey's wedding? I tried to and most of it sounded quite nice. I especially like the idea of lemon cakes.

Great blog here devoted to Westorosi cooking.

hello!!!!

<settles in>

do you ever look at this site? some interesting theories on there, including Sansa being the queen in Maggy the Frogs prophesy!

the lemon cakes sound like mr kiplings to me! and i'm not a mr kipling fan grin but all of the meat dishes sound rather nice, with 77 courses you'd literally only be able to have a little taste of each wouldn't you?

loving the name Mother!

MotherofDragons Mon 09-Jan-12 14:42:17

<waves> thank you.

DaenerysTargaryen Mon 09-Jan-12 14:44:31

ok, am rewatching the series now, and rereading the books on my new baby kindle as well as discussing it on the internet

That site is fantastic. A few of us have joined now. I tend to look for the funny threads such as, "you know you are obsessed with GoT when..." and laugh at things like, "I saw a man all in black the other day and took him for a deserter from the Night's Watch so I beheaded him" AIBU?

My own anecdote untold there but can confess here is that when I was in the middle of school applications for DS aged four and immersed in the books I often spelled his name differently throughout applications. The school had to ring me to check if it actually was "Jaime" blush (it isn't)

lol, I described dh as being "in his cups" the other week and shouted "the others take you" at the dog blush

If I read too much Jilly Cooper than I get the urge to refer to drunk people as "tight".

MotherofDragons Mon 09-Jan-12 14:58:02

heheheh, Ive never read a jilly cooper book!

MotherofDragons Mon 09-Jan-12 15:04:32

this is good too.

so, where is everyone? I have read all of the books now and am itching for The Winds of Winter now.

Sometimes pictures sum everything up

Love the Robert one grin

OnlyANinja Mon 09-Jan-12 15:06:22

MotherofDragons Mon 09-Jan-12 15:11:13

DaenerysTargaryen Mon 09-Jan-12 15:38:19

WhingingNinja Mon 09-Jan-12 15:40:47

ok so i need to change my name.

MotherofDragons Mon 09-Jan-12 15:44:15

Bella is, for me, the worst thing in the twilight series. and thats taking into account the sparkling vampire and getting an erection/fathering a child without blood or living cells. simpering fool that she is.

I do still love the books though

ninja, whatcha going for?

YouknownothingJonSnow Mon 09-Jan-12 15:47:45

How about this one?
Hmm im not sure.

Oh and Bella is indeed an insult to feminism

MotherofDragons Mon 09-Jan-12 15:50:56

I like that! I was torn between this, TheWildingPrincess or LyannaStark
