For some reason in the fall I really get back into gardening and cooking. Not that I stop in summer, but it gets so hot in Florida in July and August that I tend to have less interest in spending time in the garden or over the stove. But then come fall, I’m buried in…
[I posted this at 12:15 on OCT 7th, which is my birthday, but for some reason WordPress refuses to change the timestamp. Grrrrrrr!] It is true…I am another year old. *cheers* Food: Check! Lots of yummy TGIFriday’s-junk-appetizer “foodâ€â€¦eggrolls (hehe) and cheese sticks and jalepeno poppers and buffalo chicken poppers…mmmmm! Drinks: Check! Bunnytinis, of course! Dessert:…
(the “Flesh and Bone” episode from S1 of BSG)…I made this for roomie: Not that I’m actually snurching anything. Nope. Not me. She posted this pic tonight…it’s of a pen I found at CVS that I had to show her that she had to have, for obvious reasons. There are two leavers at the back…
I love L.A., and at some point, I plan to live out there. Yeah, there’s smog and earthquakes, but I don’t care (heck, to me it’s just like where I grew up, only bigger and with better shopping). L.A. has Hollywood, Sunset Strip, mountains, Trashy Lingerie…and Sprinkles. “Pint-sized” gourmet goodness…*licks screen*
Teach your children: Higher education is nothing more than a money scam. Avoid it at all costs. Get a real education out in the world by traveling, reading books, living your life. And by all means, avoid student loans at all costs. Pay for school with credit cards, then if things go badly you can…
Here are some pics from yesterday… The Big Freaking Toad! I suppose she feels safe here, as she doesn’t move when me or roomie see her in the pond. Doesn’t go under, doesn’t try to hide. Gorgeous! Devil’d Fadis! Heh… In this case, notice the Corona-shaped devil horns. Fadi, they weren’t quite as good as…
Gonna reskin the site soon, post some pics, yadda yadda, lol. For now, here’s a quickie update: Got the blue ramquins about a month ago and made Oeuf Cocotte. Knew you were wondering about that. ;-) It was beyond delicious! Moved out of my apt and rejoined old roomie (two reasons: one, my apt went…
…G wants to learn to dance more. As in, he wants to take ballroom lessons, learn all the good stuff. Reminds me of my past life working in a swing dance club. Ah, memories…lol. I think I’ll have to join him in some lessons. Never cared for the Fox Trot, I must say, but Tango,…
…to quote a Pink song, lol. Taking a wee break from work to post, since I can’t seem to remember to do it in the evenings. ;-) Dunno why I haven’t posted…just been working, writing, working out, and watching new shows. Thanks to G, I started watching Dancing with the Stars again, and I must…
Bast hears birds on the sill eating the seed I put out, and she thinks she’s sneaking up on them… Sweetie-pie Kramer is just “anerable” (to borrow a term from cuteoverload.com!) Bast bunny-kicks my new flip-flop…it is HER shoe. HERS, dammit! And just because I do so love my new Le Creuset items… They…
Happy St. Patrick’s day! Logan, I hope you & the boys are tearing it up, and I am so sad I could not make it. Today, a friend told me about a drink that calls for a liquor called “Chartreuse.” I’ve never heard of it, which is shameful on two counts: one, I’m a literature…
So glad it’s the weekend! Picked up two differnet bottles of Côtes du Rhône-Villages yesterday, and can’t decide which to try first. I suppose there are worse decisions to make. Also got ingredients to make a nice big pot of potato and leek soup, and am going to experiment with a couple of new recipes….
