Amy and Pete are doing the March of Dimes March for Babies on Cape Cod next week as Team Farrell Peanut, because with all […]

New Year’s Eve Soup and Salad
Posted in Deep Thoughts, cooking, flickr, friends, links, photos on Jan 3rd, 2010
So, there’s this “cook” thing in my screen name. And I do it, sometimes. Amazing, I know.
Et voila, proof of the photographic variety, because you’re all no, we do not believe it. All you do is bitch about people without their receipts. Because you’ve never lost one piece of paperwork in your life.
So. Recipes, of a sort.
Zucchini, shredded […]
Thanks to my friend L. for cluing me in to the You Tube Channel that is How It Should Have Ended. Because really, Lord of the Rings? Great movie– epic, even, to use an overused Internetism, but, well, after about the fifth ending at the end of Return of the King I was […]
Sort of. My best friend A. is marrying her girlfriend this weekend someplace out of state on Sunday. Except she’s not marrying her girlfriend, not really. There will be a wedding ceremony affirmed by the Quaker Meeting in which they are members. There will be family and friends from all over, including some, but not […]
Ceci N’est Pas Une Revue de Film– or, the Julie and Julia Kickstart, Ad Infinitum– or, a Question of Yes

This is a movie review– of sorts. It’s also somewhat surreal– Magritte’s Treachery of Images, except instead of this not being a blog post or a movie review, ceci n’est pas ma vie, my life. At least it’s not the life that I want.
I’ve got about five drafts of this post started, all puttering out. Much […]
The multi-talented Melanie BeanPaste has an adjunct cooking blog named BeanPlate, and starting shortly, she (and me, and several other talented contributors) will be posting 30 days of bean recipes. Because my paycheck v. my debts = hill of beans. And come on, all those health nuts say we should all be eating more beans […]
Wishing you and yours a happy Hanukah, Merry Christmas,
Grievance-less Festivus,
and all-around laughter-filled, stress-free day.
An Antidote to Serious Gift Guides
Posted in friends, just plain silly, links on Dec 16th, 2008
The brilliant authoress at Just Another Ink-Stained Wretch has a cure to well-meaning, tasteful, serious Holiday Gift Guides. Almost every day she posts a link to another ill-concieved, far-out, or just plain disgusting item that might make you the talk of this year’s Yankee Swap. I can guarantee that if nothing else, you’ve never seen […]
Everyone deserves a weekend

Last night we babysat for our friend Senor Sinister and his Lovely Wife– we were over there about a month ago for Senor Sinister’s birthday brunch, and as always, we enjoyed hanging out with them and their children, the Banana and the Baby. We’ve known the Banana since birth, the Baby, too, and you’ve never […]
Thanks
Posted in Better Half, Deep Thoughts, friends, good things on Nov 27th, 2008
I’m thankful, or trying to be– for meds that work sometimes and make a big difference when they do, for a workplace where I’m treated like an adult, for food to cook for my loved ones, for loved ones to be aggravated by occasionally and to laugh with the rest of the time. I’m thankful […]
