I don’t know about you, but I occasionally have days where everything seems to annoy me, and I’m not talking about people (well, I have those days too, but this is different). I mean, every single physical sensation has an annoyance factor nearing painful. So far today, I’ve had to remove my rings just to …keep reading
We did plenty of other things and kept quite busy. And to take ’s perspective on things (she recently said something about this regarding Mother’s Day), it’s not always necessary to do the remembering or the appreciating on a holiday, when one should really be doing it year-round (in responding to some of her fellow …keep reading
The tree at our house is blooming, which usually results in many photos being taken.
Here's my favorite (click on it to go to Flickr where you can see a bunch more).
The amaryllis is grow-grow-growing! And finally, it sprouted what will be a flower! I was getting worried that it would just …keep reading
Do you need more motivation to use your kitchen, to make food and consume it, thus adding to your waistline, or to make food and give it away, thus upping your karma? Here are some more suggestions….
Chocolate and Peanut Butter, a timeless classic
- Cocoa Buttermilk Birthday Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting
- Peanut Butter Munchies

Either I’m hungry all the time or I have a newfound love of food (or at least preparing it) due to there being a television in my kitchen. Methinks it’s a bit of both. Either way, I had about a jillion bookmarked recipes that I’ve decided to share with you. Hopefully, they’re …keep reading
Do you know how tired I am today? I am so tired that I have Restless Legs before 9 am. That, my friends, is a serious pain in the behind. If you haven’t experienced restless legs, then you don’t know the torture that it is. Perhaps you’re familiar if you’ve ever lived with someone who …keep reading
Why I’m not voting for McCain (surprisingly, it’s not his environmental policies, which are amazingly forward-thinking for a Republican), and another article on feminism and the election. I was going to comment on these, but… I think you can pretty much guess what I would say, and it’s nothing new or original, so I’ll just …keep reading
Block Poster – a free service to create really big poster prints for your walls. From this post on IkeaHacker about a cool headboard / wall mural idea that I love (second photo down). Think we can do that in our next house? I think the key is having the right photo.

Some links I’ve saved up for you lately on things related to food….
Hungry Girl – the author has been making the rounds lately on television and some blogs I read.
10 Commandments for Dropping 10 Pounds and 10 Years (DumbLittleMan)
How to use Food Baths to Cool Food Safely (ApartmentTherapy) – since it was unknown to me, …keep reading
I’ve had several partially-formed blog posts in my head for the last week. None of them really make up a full post on their own, and they’re probably too random to make up a meaningful post, but they’re cluttering up my head, so it’s time to get them out.
I am currently on a bird kick, …keep reading
I’ve reorganized my cubicle (slightly, but enough to throw me off balance temporarily), I wiped down all the surfaces in my cube, and I even cleaned up a ton of bookmarks in Firefox. I got around to setting up a bunch of “linkfest” posts (divided up into smaller, easier-to-consumer chunks since the last time I …keep reading
A while back, I mentioned that someone I knew only through their blog (and who probably doesn’t even know me) had broken up with their significant other and how weird of an experience that was for me as a non-involved person in their lives. Well, they recently got back together after much secrecy and are …keep reading
