I have to say, ever since Hotmail switched to Windows (TM) Live Crap-Ass Mail, I have been nothing but disappointed. I've had my Hotmail account for over seven years. That's infinity in internet-time. And then Microsoft takes over and everything goes to shit in about two seconds flat. I mean, my Hotmail account was never anything to brag about. It ( Read more... )

Okay, I've recently discovered some awesome food websites, so I decided to post them here together, for your enjoyment and/or disgust.

1. The mildest of them all is the Gallery of Regrettable Food, which I think I've posted a link to before. Anyway, this guy collects old cookbooks and then comments on the godawful 50's photography...and diet. EAT ( Read more... )

ATTN SARA: So, I've been reading (re-reading) The Westing Game with one of my students, and it always makes me think of another story I read back in elementary school. I can never remember the title, but I remembered that it was about a man who invites some people to his mansion and tells them they will go hunting, and then the people realize that ( Read more... )

This week has been an excellent food week. I've made beer-battered fish, pasta with tuna and artichokes (oh my god yum...carlos and I fought over the leftovers), pineapple chicken, homemade secret-ingredient iced tea, and chocolate cookies, plus some other random stuff. I love good food weeks ( Read more... )

I've been having very strange dreams. Unsettling dreams. It started with the dream where the room I was in was suddenly attacked by terrorists from Malawi, who barged in and began shooting. I tried to escape, but when I found myself confronted with them, I pledged allegiance to their leader, and they let me go. Then there was the dream where I was ( Read more... )
