I'm sending two cotton flannel shirtdresses back to Land's End. The care label in each warns against wearing near flames or drying in a hot dryer because of the material's tendency to catch fire due to its slightly shaggy texture. Back they go. Note that the label says "100% wool." The catalog described them as cotton. This kind of confusion does not belong in my life. Nor do dresses subject to spontaneous combustion (although I don't spend that much time crouched over a cauldron).Still working on pictures of our trip, but to keep you amused while waiting, the lovely people at The Hairpin have done it again! Here is a link to an article that weds two of our favorite topics: food and world literature. Some of the, um, comments are pithier than others. Enjoy.
