* The water in the Davenport has run cold again, perhaps worse than before. It might be warm when I turn it on, or it might take some time and get really hot, or it might never get warm at all and I will have to turn the cold water off entirely. D33 is even more obsessed with her bath than I am with my shower and has demanded an investigation into ( Read more... )

Tonight a friend asked me what she absolutely needed to take with her on her road trip. I gave her a very short list:

• Keys - these you need to operate your car

• Cell phone - All cell phones ( Read more... )

1 bottle of Barbecue Sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's)
1 onion, sliced in strips (julienne)
1/2 cup chopped bell peppers

Cook on low for 8 hours. At around 6 hours the meat should be tender enough to pull apart. Use tongs or two ( Read more... )

The shower in my apartment has shifted to favor the hot water, overnight. I mentioned before how the hot water had no pressure and the cold had all of it. A few days ago the plumber was here to fix D33's shower, and now my shower has turned so that the majority of the pressure is in the hot water instead of the cold.

I found a great deal on bell peppers recently, and decided to replicate Mother's stuffed pepper recipe. I used to make these in a big stew pot for large parties to much fanfare, but during my vegetarian years I never bothered trying this with fake meat. This recipe stuffs six peppers, but I could only fit five into the pot.

Yogurt is a superfood I try to eat every day in order to quell my resltess digestive tract. I have had severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) since 2001 and after seven years I still do not understand it fully. I do know that the cultures in yogurt assist my own saprophytic colonies, so I try to start every day with yogurt. Buying yogurt is ( Read more... )
