This is a beautifully designed, easy-to-understand cookbook for making some of the best tasting foods I have ever had the privilege [...]

Some things seen around the Internet lately

June 25th, 2008 · Comments Off

Drinking with the Troops From a local blog, Urbanagora, comes “Drinks with a Soldier.” I just love how some jackass commentor tries to hide behind the shield of anonymity and call the post author a liar.

February 19th, 2008 · 7 Comments

Today has been a fairly laid-back day. Considering. I got up at 10-ish and have been on slow ever since. Pauline & Kathryn’s class was having a reading day and I decided to forego more Protégé work this evening in Allen’s class. We will be doing more next week. So I have been giving myself [...]
