THE ARGUMENT- Tuesday night Paul came in from work acting weird. He had an attitude and i could tell something wasn't right, i figured he lost money or something, but when i asked he just said he didn't want to talk about it. We were supposed to go to the mall to get him some new work clothes (cuz...
Since it is Memorial Day, I thought I'd write a little something about memories. To all those who have lost a loved one in the service of our Country, I cannot tell you how much their sacrifice means to me. Please accept my humble thanks and appreciation of their valor. While I don't personally have...
“Soft hands my drug, you taste like home to me…” fell absently, singsong into the air as she padded around the kitchen, bare feet on cool tile in the first days of the newborn spring afternoon. The song echoed melodically through her head as she formulated her plan: make cupcakes from scratch,...
Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of days. Things around here have been hopping! I had an appointment yesterday morning to go to my doctor's office for labs. (Just a blood draw to check my progesterone levels to see if I really did ovulate or not. No word on the results yet, but I'm almost hoping...
I just wrote several paragraphs flaying some idiotic bitch that I randomly saw on TV today, but then I lost interest. Yes, she was an idiot. She was an idiot of a variety that I have met very commonly, namely the idiot who thinks that having friends who are gay and/or Hispanic wins her the Tolerance...
This is interesting. Well worth the time to read. And after reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again. Remember - Never, put your banana in the refrigerator. Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. Tips - If you really love...
I went to the farmer's market Wednesday. With the exception of this crazy Icelandic yogurt I tried out, I've basically only eaten things I have cooked myself for the last 3 days! Baby fingerling potatoes with bacon and ramps. Ramps are wild leeks, and are available in the spring (though apparently,...
I'm so sad about Ted Kennedy. He has a lot of detractors, but I'm not one of them. Maybe I should explain. I'm a third-generation Democrat. My grandparents had two photos, hanging shrine-like, in their dining room: FDR and JFK, so I'm decidedly left of center (way left) in my politics. How many of...
May 28, 2008 A Tiny Fruit That Tricks the Tongue By PATRICK FARRELL and KASSIE BRACKEN CARRIE DASHOW dropped a large dollop of lemon sorbet into a glass of Guinness, stirred, drank and proclaimed that it tasted like a “chocolate shake.” Nearby, Yuka Yoneda tilted her head back as her boyfriend,...
So Lollapaloolza is quickly approaching and even though its still 2 months away this highly anticipated concert fest sells quick and hotels go quicker. Starting August 1-3 in Grant Park Chicago this musical, cultural community experience is a one of a kind sensory blowing must see adventure. Grant...
This week so far has been like receiving manna from the heavens. Everyone made money in our stock pics. It was trader's nirvana. Especially fruitful were the solar stocks. Even the dogs came out to play and we watched harvesting at its finest as percentages went up like plants on some really good...
And closer to 100 tomorrow, let the carnage begin..... I do not DO heat. I am NOT going to be amused if we do. 90 outside means 110 or more inside when you live in a 1970's Mobile Home. I don;t even want to try to explain what happens when it hits 100 around here. There is not an A/C on the market...
It's been awhile since my last post. Busy busy!! Plus - the computer seems soooooo sloooooowwww when I'm trying to update this blog. Anyway, here's all the latest: I've uploaded some pictures of the swaps I've sent out recently. The little dolls are made of wood craft balls, beige pipe cleaners and...
If I'd Known Then: Women in Their 20s and 30s Write Letters to Their Younger Selves by Ellyn Spragins As I was in the beauty salon yesterday and reading a magazine, I came across a review of this book. I started thinking about what I would have done differently if I had known when I was younger what...

I found out yesterday that you don't have to be a baker to make a great pie. I'm not a baker and have never claimed to be a baker. Yes, I made a cheesecake from scratch once and it was pretty good. I've made cakes from scratch that tasted about the same as cake made from a box mix. I love to cook...
I tried another recipe: Lamb with mint (for 2) cut lamb in small pieces 1 or 2 cloves of garlic, chop them finely 1 or 2 chili peppers, also finely chopped 1 or 2 onions in rings (you can substitute 1 onion by other wok-vegetables, whatever you like) 2 big tablespoons of red curry paste 2...
