In which I whine like a little bitch. I decided I wanted a thing. A thing I don’t need, but it’s so cute and would be so fun. And there’s a sort of sense of nostalgia, as well. See, way back in the day, when I lived in Iowa, I had a Gameboy Advance and […]
In which I don’t understand. Why do store-bought dips suck? I bought a huge container of artichoke-jalapeno dip last weekend, and while it isn’t exactly inedible, it’s really not good. You can safely buy salsa — well, many of them, at least — and those sort of 70’s-style chip dips (like French onion or whatever), […]
In which I’m dieting. Tired (again) of being fat and miserable. Dieting (again) in an effort to be less fat and less miserable. As a vegetarian, I find it very difficult to do really low-carb, so I’m doing a combination of “as few carbs as possible” and calorie restriction. Eating a lot of eggs, tofu, […]
In which it’s Superb Owl Sunday, and I’m not even sure who’s playing! It’s 1:24 in the afternoon and I’ve already downed this: (It’s a brilliant bloody mary with lots of pickle juice.) And this: (A mostly-homemade bean tostada of excellent excellence.) Life is a wonderful — and delicious and tipsy — thing!
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, yet again, I become what I judge. This time was quicker than usual! (It took twenty years for me to end up fat and the owner of a fake Christmas tree, but only weeks to end up with a Traveler’s Notebook!) Behold. My Traveler’s Notebook. This object has totally captured my imagination. I’m […]
In which there’s an image. Gosh, I haven’t! Well, here it is!
In which I ponder the cuddle-the-baby or ignore-him-when-he-cries approaches. I’ve been reading a lot about Universal Basic Income lately. What is it? Well, the basic idea is that everybody gets enough income to keep them just out of poverty even if they never do anything at all. In the U.S., it would be the equivalent […]
In which there are a variety of reversible, seasonally appropriate motherfucking handmade placemats!!! When your mom is psychic: You buy a table and you think, damn, some placemats sure would be great. AND THEN YOUR MOM SENDS YOU A BOX OF THEM RIGHT OUT OF THE BLUE, AND THERE’S, LIKE, DIFFERENT ONES FOR MAJOR HOLIDAYS […]
In which I buy stuff I don’t really need like an asshole, but at least it’s all used so I can say I’m “upcycling”! Bought a table today! A used table! A TABLE YOU CAN EAT AT! It’s a brown pub-style table and chairs set, and it’s taller than strictly necessary but I think it’ll […]
