What's the time?
"Paul Revere" was the first rap song that I knew all the words to. I listened to "Licensed to Ill" so much that I wore the tape out. Every track on that album has a distinct memory for me-- roller skating at Skate City to "Brass Monkey" in middle school, and also dancing around my kitchen a decade later with my two toddlers. Listening to "Girls" on ( Read more... ) -
Day 14 - What you wore today, in great detail
Black and white striped bikini cut underpants, mocha colored bra, white hanes ankle socks (with pink heels and toes), Lucky brand jeans that didn't fit a year ago, but are now kind of loose-- they are too long, so the bottoms are pretty badly frayed. There's also a tear that's spreading along the inner thigh, but it's still small enough that it's ( Read more... ) -
thanksgiving food!
Here are some pics from Thanksgiving. There would have been more, but by the time everything was ready, we all just wanted to eat. There was no time for snapping pictures. The turkey was gorgeous and tasty. They stuffing was even better than I had hoped. The biscuits stuck to the baking sheet a bit, but were still quite tasty. My biscuits usually ( Read more... ) -

Done: bacon jam, cranberry chutney, cornbread for stuffing, green beans blanched, crab legs shucked, mushroom soup is simmering, and the turkey brined. Tomorrow all I need to do is assemble the stuffing, bake the turkey, cook the biscuits, potatoes, yams and pineapple upside down cake. I can't wait to eat ( Read more... ) -

The Farmer's market is foodie church, and since we are coming up on a high holy day, the place was a zoo yesterday. On top of it all, it seemed as if a good number of vendors had jacked up their prices, much to my dismay. I was still able to talk some deals out of my favorite vendors, though. I even scored a free orange which is going to be ( Read more... ) -

Did the shopping for Thanksgiving last night. Made out like a bandit, since just about everything I needed was on club card special. I even got a few unexpected indulgences. Crab was $7/lb, so that was too good to pass on. All I need now is a few things that I want to wait to buy because they are perishable, and produce from the farmers market ( Read more... ) -

this is usually a space that I reserve for whining about personal shit that only I care about, but this whole NPR/ Juan Williams debacle has agitated me to the point that I feel the need to say something.
First of all, this is not a First Amendment issue. I am so sick to death of people-- Laura Schlessinger, Christine O'Donnel and now Juan ( Read more... ) -
jumping on the bandwagon
I started a Dreamwidth account because lj is creeping me out with random changes. Same username. I'll still lurk over here, but I think my few and far between posts will all be over there from now on. -
Day 04 - What you ate today, in great detail
I am really enjoying this meme. It's been so long since I've updated every day. i think it's a good habit to get back into. Also, I am loveloveloving that so many folks are on board with doing this. I am learning so much about all of you! I'm excited.
The first thing I ate today was a perfectly ripe nectarine from the Farmers Market. There was ( Read more... )
