Moving to Blogger
Hi, all - I've decided to move my future blog posts over to

That "uh-oh" turned into "ooh!" the next day -- ( Read more... ) -
Sauteed onion and candied cashew salad
The result of playing "what the heck do we have around the house to eat with this lettuce?" turned out surprisingly tasty last night. So I'm inflicting it on my blog as a way to write it down. Ingredients are a rough estimate - this was a purely seat-of-the-pants recipe ( Read more... ) -
Internet Thermodynamics
I just had to, with some embarrassment, leave the following explanation in closing out my service ticket with my (patient and wonderful) ISP, Speakeasy.
The context: My internet service has been bouncing up and down every hour and a half for the last day or so. Very frustrating.
