Via Nerd Approved. P.S. — Speaking of Harry Potter facts, I am still eagerly awaiting the inevitable release of a Harry Potter edition of Trivial Pursuit. No, I have not heard anything about it, but it's a give-in that they will create one, right?

However, in my case, I have been very fortunate to have family who are giving me a hand. Yesterday, my little sister Suzy (well, she's not so little — she's 28 years old!) came over and cooked not one, not two, but THREE delicious dishes and stocked our fridge to the brim.
