Misbehaving Tuesday: Audio Edition
Around 3:45 today I was standing in my kitchen, trying to decide whether to go to a yoga class tonight. I knew I had been busy all day, but I did not feel like I had gotten anything done, and considered that maybe I should stay home and be productive. Then I looked at my [...]
Mmmm… Pancakes
Major breakfast win this morning: whole wheat oatmeal pancakes. It is always exciting when I find a recipe online, do my own thing with it, and it comes out great the first time. The extra bonus win is that there is absolutely nothing fancy (or shmancy) in this recipe. It is great if you’re vegan, [...]
Mixed Thinks
I.
In a yoga class a few weeks ago, a teacher read this from Krishnamurti:
“Immaturity lies only in total ignorance of self. To understand yourself is the beginning of wisdom.”
As a kid, I was praised for being more mature than the other kids, and while that may have been true, somehow I got my aloofness all [...]
Friday Night Bites: Beerownies II, Irish Boogaloo
I decided that the impending apocalypse was the perfect excuse to try the double chocolate stout beerownies again. I was not able to get to a store that carries a double chocolate stout before the roads started to get snowy, so I decided to experiment with Guinness instead. I have had this idea in my [...]
Friday Night Bites: Double Chocolate Stout Brownies and a Baking Lesson
I have not done a Friday night bites post in a while, and although it is already Saturday, I had a great baking win last night that I want to detail here. This is a veganization of a recipe my cousin Jill posted for double chocolate stout brownies. I often get questions from people about [...]
Now Now Now
Here is how my day started: intense pain on one side of my head from sleeping with my ear bent into my face, and general ick from a dream that a shot glass came out of my nose (it was encased in lovely crystal, though).
Still, the day was productive. I taught a class, picked up [...]
Pounding the Pavement
I have applied for ten or so jobs, with two more to go tonight. While I was out for a walk this afternoon -might as well enjoy that luxury while it lasts- I saw this on the side of the road.
But in more exciting news, tonight I made cornbread! The recipe is on [...]
S/PCHP
As we grow up there are certain tasks that we must face, no matter how unpleasant they may seem. With the privilege of being a mature and independent human being, there comes responsibility, to ourselves, our world, and our families. Some we take on willingly and happily; others we take on with the grudging acceptance [...]
Thanksgiving Weekend Wrap-Up
Frolic
Most of my frolic was in the days leading up to Thanksgiving, dancing like a doofus around my kitchen while baking. The soundtrack included, but was not limited to: They Might Be Giants, The Beatles, Elvis Costello (which rapidly became too depressing), and The Dead Milkmen. George Carlin had a bit about how no one [...]
