In which I buy stuff I don’t really need like an asshole, but at least it’s all used so I can say I’m “upcycling”! Bought a table today! A used table! A TABLE YOU CAN EAT AT! It’s a brown pub-style table and chairs set, and it’s taller than strictly necessary but I think it’ll […]
In which I wax enthusiastic about a very old product! Even with shipping, I got a frying pan, a sauce pan, and two lids for $25. Which is a really decent price, considering you could easily pay almost that for a lidded 6″ non-stick that you’d have to throw out and replace in two years. […]
In which I got a shit-ton of stuff done today. Here’s the very exciting list: tidied up generally scrubbed the stove top made awesome coffee in the Pyrex percolator took pictures of the brown recliner put all the throw rugs in the hall swept the living room and bath mopped the kitchen until the mop […]
In which it’s so political out there that it’s just better if I bitch here, where nobody but, like, five people and a couple of bots will ever see it. This article just showed up in my timeline. Being a woman, I clicked on it. https://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/the-reality-that-all-women-experience-that-men-dont-know-about-kelly-jrmk/ Oh. My. Fucking. GOD. Don’t click through. It’s awful. […]
In which I go off on victimhood mentality as displayed by a member of a privileged* class. I just read a huge, long, 40-post tweetfest freakout about “sexual assault.” The writer claims that she got licked on the cleavage in a hotel bar. She’d gone merely to collect a fork, with which to eat her […]
In which I lecture people on Facebook who will never read this. Do not vote third party. Not in this election. I can understand not liking Clinton, but voting for anybody else is a vote for Trump. Is Clinton ideal? Certainly not. I don’t like her at all. Is it absurd and baffling that the […]
In which there’s good news. We flew to DC last Thursday so I could see Amma. We had a very short layover in Milwaukee, then got to Reagan, walked to the hotel shuttle stand, and waited for the bus. Got to the hotel, went out to eat on a cute little street a few blocks […]
In which there’s a recipe. I’ve been eating these all week. They’re really just bean tostadas, but you should make some anyway because they’re fantastic. This is a strange but delicious guacamole. Make some. (Click on the pic for the recipe.) Now put it in the fridge to chill. Put some grated cheese — I […]
In which there’s some perspective. Oil is in everything. Oil is in every single thing you ever use, touch, or buy. How does food get to the store or farmer’s market? In trucks that are running on gas. How do you carry your food home? In plastic bags. How do you store your leftovers? In […]
In which this is very interesting. I’ve tried the patch and the gum. They suck. My own anecdotal experience tells me that it’s not nicotine I’ve been addicted to.
