In which I found this recipe online somewhere and it’s fantastic. This is the red sauce Taco Bell uses in their bean burritos and on their enchiritos. Copycat Taco Bell Sauce 1 8-oz can tomato sauce 1/3 cup water 1/4 tsp chili powder 1 1/2 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp onion powder 1 tbsp white vinegar […]
In which I have thirteen inks!? Well, this is my fountain pen ink collection. I don’t think I realized I had so many! The hues I have are these: Grey, horsetail brown, tundra green, teal, damson purple, rouge opera red, black, violet, apple green, orange yellow, rose pink, lavender blue, and syrah red. The syrah […]
In which there was spaghetti for dinner! I made tofu “meatballs” today. (The recipe is here.) I’ve never eaten actual meatballs, so it was a strange exercise, but hey: I had all the ingredients on hand and needed to use up the tofu! Alone, they’re really bland, but in sauce they’re fine. (I didn’t make […]
In which there’s travel! And I repeat myself! Going to see Amma in D.C. this weekend! Jai Ma! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I think this is my twentieth year in a row going to see Her, which is astonishing and weird. Staying in a Marriott. My man decided not to come […]

In which it’s nearly X-mas! The tree’s up, there are lights around the windows. I’ve done all my shopping, wrapping, and shipping for the year. Cards have been sent. We’ve received a single Christmas card — it’s on the table. Thanks, Polt! — and a gift from my aunt, a cooler full of frozen Omaha […]
In which there are styles of handwriting to look at. For no real reason, I’m trying to figure out which style of cursive I learned. I’m beginning to suspect that changing schools so often actually exposed me to multiple systems, because no single script style encompasses how I form my letters — D’Nealian, modified Spencerian, […]
In which I don’t really do this anymore. I used to read in bars all the time. Paper books in the day, then Newtons, PDAs, eBook readers, phones and Kindles. Most bars have at least some comfortable seating with a reasonable amount of light, and they have drinks, too, of course. Nothing better than a […]
