Back-logged.
I would say that nothing has been happening lately, but that's not quite true...and it's also not true that so much has been happening lately that I haven't had time to post about it. It may be more an issue of discriminating between which things are actually worth telling. But eh, screw that--here's pretty much everything that's been going on ( Read more... ) -
Probably inadequate, but at least proof that I am alive.
High time for an update, I suppose, considering my last post was not only weeks ago, but also a recipe ( Read more... ) -
Yummy noises!
Some of you may have heard of Mollie Katzen, who writes excellent vegetarian cookbooks. Allen and I somehow each own a copy of her book The Enchanted Broccoli Forest, while owning exactly zero copies of The Moosewood Cookbook, her most famous ( Read more... ) -
New and improved; or, Why I want a juicer.
The other morning Allen was making a quick trip to the corner store, and I asked him to pick up a V-8 Fusion for me. That's the newish juice V-8 is making that's actually 100% juice (usually primarily carrot and apple, and then whatever flavor on top of that). He accidentally got me a V-8 Splash instead, which, while I was addicted to them in ( Read more... ) -

Temporary insanity.
Many of you out there know our dog--some of you, obviously, quite quite well. For those of you who don't, the best one-word physical description of him might be...umm...fluffy? hairy? Something like that. In any case, he's the kind of dog that sheds fistfuls of hair, not just a few hairs at a time. We sweep our floors every other day, if not daily ( Read more... ) -
Transmogrified nomenclature.
Whee! Username successfully changed. Thanks for the input, everyone--I guess mostly I was looking to be told I wasn't being ridiculous, and I got the desired validation.
And bakazaru? I realized after I'd posted the poll that it was of the checkbox variety, and was about to recreate the poll to change that, but Allen said, oh, don't bother, I'm sure ( Read more... ) -
Self-indulgence.
I'm considering changing my lj username. My current username is based on a children's book my family used to have, and I'm growing rather perturbed at the fact that I'm identifying myself with that book. When I was little many of the illustrations in the book, frankly, scared the crap out of me, and as an adult I now see that the underlying message ( Read more... ) -
Some people need hobbies.
Okay, let me just preface this by saying I already know I'm being unreasonable and paranoid.

Our landlady has been over at our house every nice day we've had, with the possible exception of Labor Day, since the middle of August. I mean that very literally: every nice day. She's trying to get the house sale-ready, since she'll ( Read more... ) -
A shameless plug.
Ooh! Almost forgot to say: For any of you who live in or near the Twin Cities, some friends of Allen's (and mine, really) just opened a terrific little shop that I believe I mentioned in a journal entry back towards the beginning of the summer. It's called Re-Gifts, and carries gift and decorative items made entirely from recycled products and/or ( Read more... )
