In which I’m astonished at the texture! I like to read recipes. I have liked to do so since they were in actual books rather than on the internet. I especially like to read old recipes. The oldest through the newest, to see what’s changed and what’s the same. Ancient recipes, medieval recipes, 20’s recipes, […]
In which I eat REALLY OLD FOOD. For fun! I’d never eaten an MRE in my life. So it was about time, I think. MRE stands for, obviously (not) enough, “meal, ready-to-eat.” If that doesn’t convince you that the military is awesome, I don’t know what will. Because HELLO? MEAL, READY-TO-EAT? What?! Anyway. My dad […]
In which we talk about breakfast! Yum! Because while I read a lot of involved, uplifting, active, and self-referential blogs, personally I’m just not that interesting. Plus: there’s a bunch of food porn! Yesterday I was craving a big old bowl of the Egyptian breakfast food known as ful medames. The stuff is just so […]
In which it’s like I’m turning over a new leaf or something, what with all the being organized and shit. This is how on top of the holiday game I am: I had my Christmas letter written yesterday, when it was still November! I have created a Christmas card list! I have purchased over half […]
In which the AC adapter has arrived! Kaje and I watched an episode of Doctor Who last night while eating tostadas on his couch. I love Doctor Who. I love tostadas. (Couches are pretty cool too. Pretty much a win/win scenario, if you ask me.) Then we slept for ten hours. This morning when I […]
In which I raid the ‘fridge with possibly dire consequences. There’s a potluck at work the first Friday of each month, and the left over food tends to sit in the ‘fridge for awhile before people remember to take their Tupperware containers home. This means that if you’re me – and therefore too lazy to […]
In which there are superdelicious foodz! The Best Aunt Ever™ picked me up after work last night and took me to College Place for dinner at a tiny little place called Bangkok 103. College Place is a vegetarian haven because apparently the town is comprised mainly of a Christian sect – Adventist, I believe – […]
In which Xmas day was super plus fun! Christmas Day totally rocked. It’s been years since I’ve celebrated this holiday with my blood family, and it was really great to be at Gramma’s house with a whole passel of aunts and uncles and cousins and their spouses and parents. We ate dinner mid-afternoon, then Dave […]
In which this post covers everything that matters. Work Work last night? Verged on insane. I won’t get too jargony on y’all, but one of our servers ran out of disk space, which caused our internal apps to fail and a bunch of authentication errors for customers. Both the engineers were unavailable, so I just […]
In which I enjoy a lovely, relaxing weekend at home. Saturday I carried boxes down from the attic and Gramma and I spent the day redecorating for the holiday. All the framed photos from the corner cabinet were boxed up, all the Santas were unpacked, and things were dusted and arranged and displayed. We had […]
