In which I cooked, like, all afternoon, basically. Today, I made two salsas: A hot poblano-corn relish: Spicy black beans: Mexican brown rice. That weird cottage cheese guacamole I make. And shredded chicken, for him. Cheddar, sour cream. There’s leftover queso blanco dip, so I heated that up, too! What the hell! Look at that. […]
In which there’s a clarification. In case you don’t know, internet parlance uses “jew” to mean the 1% far more often than the race. It’s extreme stereotyping parody. Is it still racism, to hyper-attenuate a quality typically associated with a particular race and use that word to mean certain financial activities? Is all stereotyping racism?
There’s still a blogosphere, sorta. Entirely by accident — I was looking for recipes for leftover fried fish — I found a blog written by a middle aged white woman. I read a couple of her posts (one entirely about a jacket; another, about internet anxiety and unfriending people on Facebook and not really using […]
In which it’s Superb Owl Sunday, and I’m not even sure who’s playing! It’s 1:24 in the afternoon and I’ve already downed this: (It’s a brilliant bloody mary with lots of pickle juice.) And this: (A mostly-homemade bean tostada of excellent excellence.) Life is a wonderful — and delicious and tipsy — thing!
In which, yet again, I become what I judge. This time was quicker than usual! (It took twenty years for me to end up fat and the owner of a fake Christmas tree, but only weeks to end up with a Traveler’s Notebook!) Behold. My Traveler’s Notebook. This object has totally captured my imagination. I’m […]
In which I ponder the cuddle-the-baby or ignore-him-when-he-cries approaches. I’ve been reading a lot about Universal Basic Income lately. What is it? Well, the basic idea is that everybody gets enough income to keep them just out of poverty even if they never do anything at all. In the U.S., it would be the equivalent […]
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. […]
