I know I am the latest, but this morning I started watching the first season of Highlander, thanks to the Netflix "instant play" option. (This afternoon, the disc came in the mail that allows me to stream Netflix to my TV through my Wii's wireless card. Holy crap, y'all, we are living in the future!!!!) My younger sister is a huge Highlander fan, but this is the first time I've ever seen an episode all the way through. And I have a bunch of questions! Like: How did Richie and Duncan get to be BFF between episode 1 and episode 2? If a human cuts the head off an immortal, does the immortal not die? (Something Tessa said in episode 5 seemed to imply that a human can't cut the head off an immortal; I was confused.) Who invented this "game" and what the heck good is it? I mean, can't they all just leave each other alone? Why do they have to be hunting each other down and cutting off heads all the time?

While watching, I am snacking on cheesecake cookies. This is seriously amazing. A few months ago, I found (on delicious, I think, or maybe I was watching Food TV?) this recipe for Savannah Cheesecake Cookies by Paula Deen. I've made them several times now -- but I've seriously altered the recipe. Now they are ( Brooklyn Cheesecake Cookies! Recipe under the cut. )
