Hey you guys! Guess what I did? I made another website, just cause I felt one wasn’t enough to neglect. To *really* feel guilty you gotta have TWO. Anyway, it’s a new thing I’m trying. Just a place to store recipes and talk about cooking junk. Check it out if you want: http://www.shuckbeans.com/ And, I [...]
I’m taking a cake decorating class. I never knew how much I didn’t know. I still don’t, but I’m having fun learning. Wilton offers some basic classes through Michael’s Craft Stores and that’s where I’m at. There’s four courses and each course is comprised of four classes. The classes are cheap but where they get [...]
Not the most original title, but it will have to do. It’s freakin’ freezing out there. It says it’s 20 degrees outside, but it feels more like negative 20. Our pipes froze this morning but Matt got us fixed up in no time. Take a look at this, would ya? That’s the view from our [...]
A good friend of mine sent me some raw peanuts from Louisiana. You can’t really find them in Seattle. I made some boiled peanuts with them. I have fond memories of growing up in South Carolina, stopping at some mom and pop gas station on the way to the beach and buying a wet, steaming [...]
If you search the web for “what to make for dinner” you’ll find plenty of advice. Plenty of recipes. Plenty of ideas. And plenty of women asking the exact same question. Someone, other than me…someone with actual technical skill and know-how, they should create a dinner generator. Either you press a button and random ideas [...]
Tonight was oven-baked Ziti with garlic bread and a veggie. It came out better than my attempt at cinnamon bread. Can’t all be winners, I suppose. They tasted okay, I guess. The trouble I think was with the yeast. I’m not very experienced with it, so it didn’t rise as much as it should have. [...]
A Woman's Manifesto
Because a woman’s work is never done.
and is underpaid, or unpaid, or boring, or repetitious,
and we’re the first to get fired,
and what we look like is more important than what we do.
And if we get raped its our fault
and if we get beaten we must have provoked it
and if we raise our voices we’re nagging bitches
and if we enjoy sex we’re nymphos
and if we don’t we’re frigid
and if we love women it’s because we can’t get a real man
and if we ask our doctor too many questions we’re neurotic or pushy
and if we expect childcare we’re selfish
and if we stand up for our rights we’re aggressive and un-feminine
and if we don’t we’re typical weak females
and if we want to get married we’re out to trap a man
and if we don’t we’re unnatural
and because we still can’t get an adequate, safe contraceptive, but men can walk on the moon
and if we can’t cope or don’t want a pregnancy we’re made to feel guilty about abortion
and for lots and lots of other reasons
we are part of the women’s liberation movement.- Joyce Stevens, International Woman’s Day, 1975.
Man Vs. Heart Attack
I am somewhat worried about the dude on Man v Food. He isn’t looking so good these days and putting that food away like that can’t be good for him.
