Bloglessly jumping on all the bandwagons over here
Hi! Did you miss me? The neverending First Time Home Buying Saga of 2009/2010 has finally ended (house, hooray!), and between that and a supercute/superdemonic almost-two-year-old who is intent on consuming any energy I could use to blog (or brush my hair) I have been a sad, sad blogging partner. But I have been losing [...]
Oh January, how I love you
There’s nothing like January 1st to help me go from none to all. And I am totally at ALL. There is no fat-off at my work, since there are only 6 people in my little teaching unit and I am the only fatty. But I am having a fat-off contest with my sister, although we [...]
Cookies and brownies and cookies and beautiful coal tar poison
We have had a sweet-filled kitchen the last few days.
These are the oatmeal raisin cookies from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar, which I am just going to call VCIYCJ because I am lazy. And also I think I might make all of these recipes and that is a lot of typing that stupid name. [...]
Making vegan cooking even more difficult
Last night I had my friends Erin and Liz over for dinner, and I am so impressed with myself because I made us all a dinner that everyone could eat. And it was yummy! Usually that is not too terribly difficult, there are lots of yummy vegan recipes to make, but Liz has the most [...]
the terrible rain! the terrible gluten!
Yesterday the weather was just miserable. It was 40 degrees and rained all day and all night. I don’t know how there could even be so much rain. The incessant dripping caused the puppy to develop extreme craziness.
He is destroying the goblin toy that he got as a prize for graduating from puppy school. I [...]
oldness accompanied by crankiness
Oooh, we are doing so bad at the mofo. I had no idea things would turn out this way when we signed up.
Well let’s see. I had my birthday last week so now I am 31 which is not that great. Remember when it was so exciting to have a birthday and you counted down [...]
backblog
I have been expending so much energy in cooking and photographing but then falling asleep halfway through the blogging part. How sad for me, I am old. So on Thursday I made the alfredo from VeganYumYum. I didn’t like it at first, maybe it is saltier than it is supposed to be since I used [...]
grilled uncheese
The Uncheese Cookbook is crazy. It doesn’t make things that are like cheese, but it makes cheese-type things. It’s like how squirrels are in the monkey niche. Like if you described what cheese is like to someone in a parallel universe, this is what they would bring you. Also, it is like witchcraft that you [...]
baseline
So. Last April I decided I was on the verge of fulfilling my unfortunate genetic destiny (to be a sausage-shaped Polish lady) and I took all my measurements and bought the 30 Day Shred DVD. Then various things happened where my young-ish and beloved dog Oscar was diagnosed with cancer and had to be put [...]
garden bounty
Our upstairs neighbors are very industrious and have converted our overgrown shitheap of a backyard into a lovely garden oasis (I see a trend here). I have only helped to garden a few times, and they are still very nice about sharing their harvests (although that also might be related to the astonishing amount of [...]
