I made homemade cream of mushroom soup last night for the first time! And totally winged it, Meres'-Dad style (he doesn't believe in recipes.) It turned out quite well, but like most of my sauces/soups ended up a little heavy on the salt. Very tasty with toasted ciabatta dipped in, though ( Read more... )

Hello! Is this thing still on?

It's been... almost 3 years since my last entry. Wow.

What's going on out in this corner of the internet? How's life? Where have we been?

Oh, hey what, I haven't posted in about a month again? *whistles nonchalantly ( Read more... )

And I do feel bad. And out of the loop. I have not posted since August? And haven't read my flist since the beginning of September! I suck ( Read more... )

Got two job offers today. Pro/con lists to come for the perusal of the internets, but I think I know my choice.

Bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land.

It can be streamed at their website and I am all hearts-in-eyes about the opening to Artificial Nocturne. I tried to get tickets to the invite-only show Tuesday in Toronto with my trivia knowledge, but failed. ALAS ( Read more... )

Hello, I am Older today! Like a lot of my birthdays it is a day like any other (I'm cleaning the apartment wheeee) but the pomp and circumstance is on tomorrow as I convocate and get my rental hood and my actual diploma and become a for reals Master of Science ( Read more... )

Greetings, folks. My mother is hosting a baby shower for one of my cousins at the end of the month, and I have been put in charge of baking cookies. I have pretty much perfected the basic chocolate chip (*buffs nails on shirt*) and also make a mean ginger cookie, but the latter are not quite seasonally appropriate? My repertoire is effective, but ( Read more... )
