Learn to Cook Like ‘Hannibal’ in New Cookbook — Exclusive Recipe

allegralovelace:

“On the plate, the tarts are menacing, a pastry spear jutting out of it. That is Poon’s design.“I want to create as much fear as possible on the plate,” she says.
“I keep reminding people these plates are made from bone china. It’s
called bone china because it’s bone, ground up. Everything is life and
death.”

My best friend is obsessed with Hannibal so we are going to the Feeding Hannibal dinner in Toronto on 10/25! Anyone else going? THERE WILL BE PICTURES.

Do you know when or if or where the Anne Rice Fan Club’s ball will be this year? OR what its called?

It gets a different name every year, this year it’s “Midnight in the Savage Garden of Blood and Evil Halloween Ball.” I’ve never been to one myself, but apparently they are alot of fun, and lots of ppl dress up and/or cosplay as the characters!

It’s in New Orleans, LA, USA (almost always there, not sure if it has been held elsewhere) on 10/28/16.

It’s run by the Anne Rice Vampire Lestat Fan Club (main site, FB page) and it looks like they’re also trying to do “a pure New Orleans night out in the Lafayette Cemetery on Thursday night Oct. 27th to benefit Save Our Cemeteries…” so there’s that, too.

Looks like there will be an actual official Lestat, walking around Mastering the Ceremonies!

Wasn’t Oak Alley used in Gone With the Wind too?

Um, I don’t think so, doesn’t say that on the website

But this is a good excuse to remind everyone of the:

40th Annual Christmas Bonfire Party at Pointe du Lac Oak Alley!

Saturday, December 5, 2015 – 7:00pm to Midnight

It will NOT be this kind of bonfire, FYI:
