In which I have rejoined the regular people. Once upon a time, I was married. My spouse, who said, “You don’t have to worry about money. We can always get more money,” and whom I believed, talked me into quitting my job. And then he quit working himself, so we lived on my credit cards […]
In which I complain about things I don’t like. Because I’m spiritual and restrained like that. Finance I spend a lot of time on Amazon.com. I just do. I’m a Kindle owner several times over, I like ordering stuff online and not having to deal with stores or people or shopping, and it’s just convenient. […]
In which I was out of salsa but, believe it or not, had all the following ingredients on hand, so I made some! Easy Salsa Ingredients 1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained and juice reserved 1 small onion, finely diced 1 jalapeno, minced 1 large clove garlic, minced 1 Tbsp. olive oil juice of […]
In which there are a million chai recipes, but this one is mine. My Chai Ingredients 3 c. water 2 c. whole milk 3 black tea bags 2 whole cloves 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground true cinnamon 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground ginger 3 Tbsp.jaggery, or to taste Method […]
In which it really doesn’t matter where you go, because there you are. Recently, maybe within the past couple of years, the Inner Guru appeared. Or maybe, to put it another way, I became capable of delving into mySelf enough to hear what the seers tell us has always been there. Or by the Guru’s […]
In which there’s a snack orgy for Sunday dinner. I worked all weekend, of course, because nobody gives a shit that I MOVED TWO THOUSAND MILES TO HANG OUT WITH THE GUY I LIVE WITH AND NOT TO WORK AT THE FUCKING HOME DEPOT. Working evenings and weekends sucks. Yesterday evening my beloved came to […]
In which there are unrelated things in a list format. 1 – Since blogs are dead anyway, I’ve returned to a klunky old theme I liked. I know it’s dated, but I’ve been blogging for 12 years or some shit and I can pull it off. I’ll probably never change the theme again. 2 – […]
In which there are germs and self-pity. Last night around eight I started to feel really icky. By ten I was passed out under three blankets on the bed. By twelve-thirty my beloved was force-feeding me Alka Seltzer cold formula. (Orange flavored and nasty. Like angry Gatorade.) This morning I felt awful and called in […]
In which there’s THE BEST tomato soup recipe ever. You’re welcome. There’s a recipe for homemade tomato soup online that’s written very strangely. It has half the necessary tomatoes and six times the olive oil and it confuses the hell out of people. I’m posting my adaptation of that recipe here, because prepared this way […]
In which standing is apparently much healthier than sitting but it hurts like a bitch. While I really enjoy my new job as I’m doing it, my feet hurt, the pay’s lame, and the schedule is horrendous. Don’t even get me started on the noise and the horrible lighting and the concrete floors, or the […]
