I have the moon on my finger

Gender Roles at Dinner

urban design after oil
If I had the money, I'd go to this: "Re-imagining Cities: Urban Design After the Age of Oil". The registration cost isn't much at all, but the flight, hotel, etc. is beyond my means. I'll have to see if they print any sort of summary or book out of it ( Read more... ) -

food challenge week #2
First week went pretty well. We used up everything except the bell peppers, leeks, kale, eggplants, and potatoes. Luckily they will hold until I can cook them up this week.

beyond cheesy
I present, without comment: "The Shire", a housing development in Bend, Oregon.

what are your thoughts?
