I talk to crackers
No, I am not making a racist statement, I really talk to crackers. You know, crackers, the kind you eat.
My taste buds must be warped. I like to blame it on the chemotherapy I did 14 years ago. After Chemo my taste for some things was changed. Beer taste terrible, unless it is a dark beer, I hardly use mustard preferring mayonnaise on most sandwiches, and I clearly remember not liking mayonnaise most of my life.
Now comes the crackers… Cheez It brand started making different flavors of their crackers. I quickly became addicted to the BBQ flavor crackers. Perfect for [...]
Overheard in D.C.: Uh Oh
Often you only need one side of a phone conversation to give you context: a person ordering pizza, talking to their parents, or work stuff. Sometimes, you can tell it's not good. Overheard of the Week: Walking home from the King Street Metro station: Guy on cell phone: "You may not know who gave it to you, but you know who you f#%ked, you know what I mean?" After the jump, teenage girl behavior, good reasons to dump somebody, and even more GW hilarity. Your ears can directly lead to so
What a Scoundrel Wants (the contest!)
The Contest: To celebrate the upcoming debut of Carrie Lofty’s fabulous WHAT A SCOUNDREL WANTS I’m hosting a total blowout of a contest. For starters, I’m offering TWENTY (20) free copies of this book. If you win, you must promise to review it somewhere within a month of its release (that’s December 2). Amazon is fine if you don’t have a blog. Two lines on Shelfari is not. Now to make this even more interesting, I’m offering a bonus prize of a $50 gift certificate (to a bookstore, naturally!
A Head of Cheez: Week 11
It’s looking like 2007 again, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. The Green Bay Packers offense is back on track. Aaron Rodgers played the gunslinger role effectively, and Ryan Grant is finally playing like he did late last season. It was make or break, do or die, win or go home, in a sense. The Packers were playing aginst divisional the rival Chicago Bears, and they had to beat the Bears to keep the NFC North title in their reach. A loss and a drop to 4-6 wouldn’t have been too good, b

Letters to Louis: Smells Like Teen Schmaltz
Take note, Tylenol: This is the greatest commercial visualization of a migraine headache I've ever seen. Dear Louis, In your column about music videos, you neglected to mention (really) anything about the importance of music videos IN queer culture. You obviously like Madonna, but isn't she probably the most overrated video artist in existence? Where were the mentions of real video innovators, like Fatboy Slim and Bjork? -Josh TN Dear Josh, Formidable questions, but when I think of the

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
When Greg took the kids to the mall the day after Halloween, Gregory came back and proclaimed, "Mom! Mom! Santa came and took Halloween away and NOW IT'S CHRISTMAS!"So it didn't surprise me when I found him in the backyard with one of Greg's shovels, and he told me he was planting a Christmas tree. The children even lovingly watered it after I took this photo.Then Daddy came home from doing I'm Not Sure What and decided to turn on his woodchipper and chop up some debris. Not knowing it was the c
Sure, I’ll take a message..
…as long as it’s from Punky Mae! Punky Mae’s collection of hip message tees for kids are made from 100% finely ribbed cotton. Every tee has a message appliqued and stitched on the front so your child can tell it like it is. Whether your little one thinks “preschool is cool” or your daughter is a bit on the “emotional” side, Punky Mae will help get the message across to friends and family. Our little George received the “spoiled” tee and I have to say it suits him perfectly. The shirt is soft a
Comfort Me With Pretzels
I have the nagging feeling that I have talked about this here before, but I was reflecting today, during this continuing time of crisis, on whether I am a stress eater or a stress non-eater. You know how stress eating is like this whole THING that gets played up in pop culture all the time, as though women can't get through a spat with their boyfriend or a job layoff without plowing through 500 cartons of Ben & Jerry's. On the other hand, stress non-eating is one of those things that ma
At The Politics of Food Conference, New York Seeks to Improve Policy
Yesterday at Columbia University, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer hosted a conference entitled “The Politics of Food,” which he called New York’s next policy challenge. Stringer is known for his work paving the way for better health in East Harlem, and for the Go Green East Harlem Cookbook, a bilingual guide that is available free of cost to East Harlem residents. Sounding like Michael Pollan, he recognized that so many issues, from health, to energy, to environment all dealt wi
Foraging in Philly
Foraging in Philly Category: Personal I've got a rather laid-back schedule here in Philadelphia, and I took advantage of it this morning — I took a little walkabout around the neighborhood. Unless you're from Los Angeles, cities are great places for walking, and it was very pleasant to idle along. Then, of course, I was required to get lunch at a truck. And, of course, I had a cheesesteak. Wow. They only make these greasy confections right in this particular city, I've found: onions and peppe
New friends are always welcome
You’d think, living way back here in the woods of northern Minnesota, we’d be isolated from human contact, at least to some extent. Not so. Especially because I write for BHM. A couple of weeks ago, I got a nice e-mail through the magazine, from my now new friend, Pam, who lives near the Twin Cities. Then she and her friend, Joan, drove up and we got to spend a few hours visiting, sharing ideas and excitement. It’s always great to meet like minds. It helps renew my energy and forward thinking
Focusing On The Positive
Focusing On The Positive Kristy November 20th, 2008 I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of all the negative energy swirling around me lately. I’m tired of hearing about how the economy is tanking, the DOW is down another seven gazillion points, our 401K is half of what it was at the beginning of the year, unemployment is on the rise, the retail businesses are already feeling the insecurity of their clients as represented on their bottom lines, blah blah blah blah bl
The illogic of economizing
Here's a compelling NYT piece on the often fruitless and sometimes counterproductive things people do when they're trying to cut spending. Bottom line: A stress on your resources does not necessarily result in sensible action. As Americans attempt to perform cost-benefit analyses of their needs and behaviors, they are whittling pennies from cable bills only to squander dollars on gas driving miles to discount stores, or on coupon-spurred splurges for nonessential items, like Cheez Whiz or orga

A Meat Lover's Thanksgiving
Attention, carnivores! Endless Simmer has recommendations for your Thanksgiving dinner that put more meat on the menu. First off, you need to stuff your turkey with meat. Pork, veal, ham, and other stuff. Then there's mashed potatoes with bacon. You'll love the recipe for green bean casserole that includes hot dogs, vienna sausage, bacon bits, pepperoni, and Cheez Whiz. Yes, the picture here is a vegetable dish. And don't forget the bread! Their recommended recipe for homemade bread has some se
Confessions of true concession stand junkies
There is nothing in life my family loves so much as a $2 hot dog. Although, if truth be known, a $3 hot dog is even better. What it must never, ever be is a nickel and dime hot dog cooked and/or consumed anywhere near our home. We are concession stand junkies. You could take our daughter to a unicorn circus with paths paved with rainbows and her eyes would light extra bright if only she spied a concession stand. Hot dogs for $3, a thimbleful of soda for $1 and a bag of candy barely visi
This would explain why we’re doomed as an economic power in the world.
Lordy me, I can’t believe the NYT actually printed this: All around the country, at similar cosmic moments, perfectly sound brains have been seizing up like an old car on a frigid day, particularly in the last few weeks. As Americans attempt to perform cost-benefit analyses of their needs and behaviors, they are whittling pennies from cable bills only to squander dollars on gas driving miles to discount stores, or on coupon-spurred splurges for nonessential items, like Cheez Whiz or organizing
We're Back To Baking At A Year in Bread: Scrumptious Homemade Sandwich Loaves!
Now up! My New Honey Bran Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread RecipeWe're a very bread oriented household here on the farm, and we take our sandwiches seriously. I took it as a compliment when a houseguest once said, after polishing off one of the homegrown lamb salami sandwiches I'd packed for us to eat while out running errands (I never leave the farm without food), "I'm so full. Your sandwiches are like a meal!" but at the same time part of me was thinking, Well, yeah. It was lunch.A sandwich shouldn'
